Dalton s most significant work was done between 1795 and 1805, but fame came later—when the importance of his atomic theory was realized. He became a member of the Royal Society in 1822, received its first Royal Medal in 1826, and was honored with a state pension in 1833, among other honors. He died on July 27, 1844, and 40,000 people attended his funeral. see also Berzelius, Jons Jakob Faraday, Michael Lavoisier, Antoine Priestley, Joseph. 

In later years, Gay-Lussac continued to advance science. He developed a precise method for analyzing the alcoholic content of liquors and patented a method for the manufacture of sulfuric acid. His last publication on aqua regia (a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids that dissolves gold or platinum) came out the year before his death in 1850. Gay-Lussac was a top-notch experimentalist and theoretician. More than twenty-five years after Gay-Lussac died, the prominent chemist Marcellin Bertholet (1827-1907) once said, We all teach. . . the chemistry of Lavoisier and Gay-Lussac (Crosland, p. 248), a fitting tribute to two outstanding scientists of the era. see also Acid-Base Chemistry Berthollet, Claude-Louis Charles, Jacques Dalton, John Davy, Humphry Lavoisier, Antoine.
