Sir Humphry Davy (1778-1829) was a hugely influential chemist,
inventor, and public lecturer who is recognised as one of the first
professional scientists. He was apprenticed to an apothecary in
1795, which formed his introduction to chemical experiments. A
chance meeting with Davis Giddy in 1798 introduced Davy into the
wider scientific community, and in 1800 he was invited to a post at
the Royal Institution, where he lectured to great acclaim. These
volumes, first published in 1831, contain Davy's official
biography. Researched and written by John Ayrton Paris, the work
describes in detail Davy's life and his scientific studies.
Organised chronologically with excerpts from his private
correspondence, Davy's early life and his experiments and lectures
at the Royal Institution and his Presidency of the Royal Society
between 1820 and 1827 are explored in vivid detail. Volume 1
describes his life and work until 1812.
