In page John Dalton:

"

In 1810, Sir Humphry Davy asked him to offer himself as a candidate for the fellowship of the Royal Society, but Dalton declined, possibly for financial reasons. In 1822 he was proposed without his knowledge, and on election paid the usual fee.[1] Six years previously he had been made a corresponding member of the French Académie des Sciences, and in 1830 he was elected as one of its eight foreign associates in place of Davy.[2] In 1833, Earl Grey's government conferred on him a pension of £150, raised in 1836 to £300 (equivalent to £17,981 and £35,672 in 2023, respectively)[citation needed]. Dalton was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1834.[3]
