Hufbauer, Karl. The Formation of the German Chemical Community,... 

Colleagues and friends have been generous and kind in their criticisms, commentary, and advice on various parts of the manuscript. I am grateful to Alexi Assmus, Ted Benfey, Micheline Charpentier-Morize, Mi Gyung Kim, Roald Hoffmann, Karl Hufbauer, Peter Loewenberg, John Servos, and especially Sam Schweber. Terry Shinn offered provocative comments on my early thinking about models and metaphors, as did John Heilbron on my initial reflections about the historical demarcation of physics and chemistry.

Unless noted, all translations are my own. The anonymous letter entitled Vom Herm M. H. in Berlin, was published in the Chemische Annalenfiir die Freunde der Naturlehre, Arzneygelahrthett, Haushaltungskunst und Manufakturen, pt. 1, 1784, 342. None of the subscribers to the Chemische Annalen who lived in Berlin at the time had the initials M. H., see Karl Hufbauer, The Formation of the German Chemical Community (1720-1795) (Berkeley University of California Press, 1982), 293 and 278-80.
