File size, all essays, about 30 KB (without illust.). Format: htm, header with block css.

Source: Facsimile torrents, GALAXY and other magazines. The Asimov essays were first published in SMITHSONIAN (1971). Content, the 18th and 19th century history of chemistry (highlight, Lavoisier refutes the phlogisticon theory). They only touch briefly upon the Greek beginnings. My own scans but possibly already posted elsewhere. I am no unconditional Asimov reader. The Willy Ley essays (40ties, 50ties and 60ties) deals mainly with notation (underlying question, why did it take so long for chemistry to become an exact science).
