My university library did not have access to this paper. Having open access saved me a lot of time, I did not have to request it through interlibrary loan. It was very important for me to read the paper quickly.

Open Access has greatly benefited my research. I am currently on sabbatical, working on a book about the chemical philosophy of Robert Boyle, and having access to journal articles through Open Access has been invaluable in advancing this research project.

I am writing a book about readers in experimental philosophy in antebellum Boston. Unsurprisingly many of them were Harvard graduates. Thus the many Harvard archives --- and, I might say, particularly the digitized library charging records and catalogs --- are invaluable primary sources. I don't know how DASH connects to all the other digitization projects at Harvard but here is a hearty 'Huzzah' and heart-felt 'Thank You' to everyone involved.
