arrange in connected classifications

Waldman points to a distinctive feature of scientific discourse of the later eighteenth and early nineteenth century. From Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778), who in the study of botany established the terms for the classification of plants, to John Dalton (1766-1844) who in chemistry determined the universal table of atomic weights, late Enlightenment science was extensively engaged in taxonomic classification.
