Mary Somerville
[edit]Hi Lotje, I see that you categorized this under Category:Mary Somerville. I can understand the reasoning; it does say Mary Somerville on the original page, as uploaded by User:Zoeannl. But I am not able to connect this book to the scientist and author Mary Somerville at all ... I am currently writing an article about her at no-wiki and in 1862 she was living in Italy, she had finished Physical Geography and was working on On Molecular and Microscopic Science. I can't imagine she would, at the same time as being a fighter for women's right to vote and and for women's education, a dedicated scientist, choose to publish a book on this topic? It is also not mentioned in any of the books about her. Could this possibly be a different Mrs. Somerville? Mewasul (talk) 18:07, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Mewasul: , thanks for bringing this to my attention. In the meantime I found also an image of the book you might refer to. Tommorrow I look deeper into this. Thank you for your time. :-) Lotje (talk) 21:09, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
