Anton's letters that appear in philosophical transactions can be found by searching the Royal Society Archives, be warned these are scanned images that have OCS overlayed, not transcriptions.
As for the other information the biolographical information came from a variety of sources, Wikipedia through to dutch national archives, these can be found by simple searching his name in Google.
