Dallowe, Timothy

Boerhaave, Herman. Elements of chemistry translated by Timothy Dallowe. London J. J. Pemberton, 1735. 

In explaining Boerhaave s chemistry I shall use the 1741 translation of Boerhaave s lectures by the English physician Peter Shaw (1694-1736), rather than the official translation of Boerhaave s chemistry textbook by Timothy Dal-lowe (1735). According to Christie, Shaw s 1741 translation is as reasonable as Dallowe s they can both be claimed equally to reflect whatever it was Boerhaave s Latin expressed. I agree. Although Shaw sometimes quahfied Boerhaave s language, most of the time his translation is accurate.
