Hatchett (CHARLES). [1765-1847] 



Charles Hatchett, F.R.S., of London, devoted the earlier part of his 

 life to the study of mineralogy and chemistry, and is still remembered by 

 chemists for his discovery of a new metal to which he gave the name 

 columbium. His extensive mineral collection, numbering some 7000, 

 mostly small, specimens, was purchased in 1799. The collection was 

 particularly rich in British minerals, and, in addition, Mr. Hatchett, in 

 the course of his travels on the Continent, and by means of correspondence, 

 had obtained many good illustrations of foreign minerals; from Count 

 A polios de Moussin Poushkin, for example, he had received a large number 

 of Eussian specimens, a manuscript list of which is preserved in the 

 Department. The collection also included a fragment of the Senegal River 

 meteorite. Hatchett presented, in 1821, a specimen of hatchettite (the
