Atomism from Newton to Dalton.
Schofield, Robert E.
American Journal of Physics, v49 n3 p211-16 Mar 1981
Indicates that although Newton's achievements were rooted in an atomistic theory of matter resembling aspects of modern nuclear physics, Dalton developed his chemical atomism on the basis of the character of the gross behavior of substances rather than their particulate nature. (Author/SK)
