About this book
Humphry Davy, Poet and Philosopher is a book by T. E. Thorpe. The text quotes a note saying Mr. Davy regrets he cannot send Walton to Mrs. Apreece this morning, having lent the book to a friend who lives a little way out of town. The text gives a New Year's Day letter written to arrive on January 1st, 1812, which hopes the cold weather has not increased the reader's indisposition and that the foggy sky has not made the reader melancholy.
One letter says the writer is here perfectly insulated and that this country furnishes but few fellow-labourers, and that correspondence with England is very slow and uncertain. A passage on chemistry says the idea of the existence of water in muriatic acid gas is hypothetical, depending upon an assumption which has not yet been proved, the existence of oxygen in oxymuriatic acid gas. The text says MM. Gay Lussac and Thenard have stated an experiment which they consider as proving that muriatic acid gas contains one-quarter of its weight of combined water.
