There is a great rundown of the history of fluorine by Isaac Asimov in _Galileo's Commandment: 2,500 Years of Great Science Writing_ (it might be excerpted from his book _The Noble Gases_, I'm not sure. I couldn't find an online version of the text)

(the reason I think it may be in The Noble Gases is because he talks about the creation of Xenon Tetrafluoride)
