[T]he purpose of my paper would be entirely attained if I succeed in turning the attention of investigators to the relationships in the size of the atomic weights of nonsimilar elements, which have, as far as I know, been almost entirely neglected until now.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "[T]he purpose of my paper would be entirely attained if I succeed in turning the attention of investigators to the relationships in the size of the atomic weights of nonsimilar elements, which have, as far as I know, been almost entirely neglected until now." in the context of "Dmitri Mendeleev, "Sootnoshenie svoistv s atomnym vesom elementov" or "The Correlation of the Properties and Atomic Weights of the Elements", Zh. Russ. Khim. Obshch. (1869) 1, No. 2/3, p. 77 (65). Translation with modification, from H. M. Leicester & H. S. Klickstein as quoted/translated by Masanori Kaji, "D. I. Mendeleev's Concept of Chemical Elements and the Principles of Chemistry" (2002) Bull. Hist. Chem., Vol 27, No 1." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
