 Balard) and its compounds. Once a much-esteemed text-book, it is still of value to the historian of chemistry for the 

 accurate and precise information it contains of the achievements during one of the most fruitful periods in the science.

 bustion with Oxygen and other Gases, 4to. (pp. 20), sewn, with inscr. to Thomas Allan, F.B.S., 

 5s 1809 



Dr. William Henry is perhaps best known for having ascertained (in the above paper) the true composition of 

 ammonia, which had been heretofore taken as a chemical compound containing oxygen. He also established the fact 

 that the amount of absorption of a gas or of a mixture of gases by a fluid is dependent on the pressure. He was one of 

 the most cultivated members of the Manchester society of his time, and should please the age we live in for having chosen 

 as his doctoral thesis the entrancing subject of Uric Acid !

' A curious little treatise. . . The second edition was printed by order of the Royal Society, having been prepared for

A strikingly original treatise, chiefly based on the author's theory of gravitation, which was refused by the Royal 

 Society, but published in the 'Annals of Philosophy. 1 He was invited by Lord Brougham to be corrector and editor of 

 his mathematical papers, but after getting some way ended, as might have been foreseen, in a quarrel with his equally 

 self-opinionatedpatron.
