Izuzevši prvo djelo, Priestleyevu povijest optike, svi se izvori nalaze u
najbogatijoj digitalnoj knjižnici Google Books na mreži, s glavnim sustavnim
nedostatkom – bez cjelovito digitaliziranih crteža na kraju knjige, što je na
primjeru Robisonova članka iz 1790., Robisonove rasprave »Boscovich’s theoria«
(1803) i Lesliejeve knjige Experimental inquiry into the nature and propagation
of heat (1804) – nenadoknadiv manjak. Priestleyevo djelo The history and
present state of discoveries relating to vision, light, and colours (1772) digitalizirano
je u sklopu pomno osmišljenoga europskoga projekta European Cultural
Heritage Online (ECHO), koji vodi Max-Planck-Gessellschaft u Münchenu u
tijesnoj suradnji s Max-Planck-Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte u Berlinu i
njegovom knjižnicom. Takva zavidna dostupnost izvorā potpuno je promijenila
uvjete za proučavanje rane recepcije Boškovićeve prirodne filozofije na Britan-
