  • 1 Humphry Davy in 1816
    Humphry Davy in 1816: Letters and the Lamp Sharon Ruston Lancaster University By 1816, not yet 40 years old, Humphry Davy had retired from his paid roles at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, Board of Agriculture, and the Royal Society, after marrying the wealthy widow Jane Apreece and being awarded a knighthood. However the invention for which he is now best known was yet to come. When Robert Gray, rector of Bishopwearmouth, wrote to him on behalf of coal mine owners in the North East, asking him to turn his mind to the question of how to light mines safely, Davy responded with characteristic optimism and confidence. His response reveals his motive and agenda from the outset. He intended his contribution to be considered as theoretical, scientific knowledge for a higher purpose: “It will give me very great satisfaction if my chemical knowledge can be of any use in an enquiry so interesting to humanity” (letter from Davy to Robert Gray, August 3, 1815).1 In this essay I will discuss letters that demonstrate the lengths to which Davy went to maintain this view of his development of the miners’ safety lamp that became known as the “Davy lamp”. The forthcoming Collected Letters of Sir Humphry Davy edition will publish approximately one thousand letters not currently in the public domain. These letters will be of particular interest to Romantic-period literary scholars: they include letters to Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey, Maria Edgeworth, and Walter Scott; there are letters that discuss Byron and the scandalous circle at Geneva in 1816, and letters that demonstrate Davy’s poetic sensibility.

    EDITORIAL The Society owes an apology to many of its members. Over the past year, a large number of Journals have failed to reach their destination, or have been delivered very late, to the understandable annoyance of the supposed recipients. This has caused a great deal of "hassle" and correspondence, especially with our overseas members, who ?R, r~.`rP h~P.T2.t~2p '72r3212.°3 .fPJRiS. ;'1 . ~ f ,•u~'tr ,`ueetl -rtlutrifrre$, ana'tne prdtilem should not recurAf you are a fully paid-up member, and have not received one or more Journals over the past year,please write to Mr R. Hale. 'Reading Road, South Shields NE334SF, stating which issue is missing. He would also like to know of any future instances of late or non arrival of the Journal. We are very sorry indeed about the failures, which have created serious administrative and financial difficulties for the Society. Each year since the Society was formed, an index to the Journals has been prepared by Mr Dave Linley of Preston, Lancashire. This is a necessary and invaluable work in a Society such as this. Mr Linley has now decided he has done a long enough stint. I can fully appreciate his feelings. Working unseen from a town away from the Society's heartland, Dave deserves all our thanks for his splendid efforts. But we now need a replacement! Here is a chance for non local members to help the Society. If anyone would like to take on the task of indexing from Volume 16, I would be glad to hear from them.

  • Humphreys Genealogy
    HUMPHREYS GENEALOGY Some descendants of John Humphreys, of Chester County, Pennsylvania, ten generations of whom have made their home in the Southern States. By ALLAN SPARROW HUMPHREYS FAYETTEVILLE.ARKANSAS TRADITIONS CONCERNING THE ORIGIN OF THE HUMPHREYS FAMILY All branches of the family believe that they are WELSH. Tradition recorded by Rebecca (Humphreys) Parker, born 23 July 1853, Anderson Co., S. C. "Col. Humphreys was an officer who was with William the Con­ queror in all his wars in England. For his service William gave him a large land grant in Sussex. From this man all Humphreys in America are descended. Following our branch, Daniel Humphreys, a Presby­ terian preacher came over and settled at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He raised six children-bavid, Solomon, Elijah, Benjamin, Katie and Polly. David was our great grandfather. He came to North Carolina and there married Martha Word. Solomon and Elijah never married. They moved to Tennessee where Solomon was a physician of great fame. Benjamin married and moved to Tennessee and was lost sight of all the others. Katie married Drury McGee and Polly married a Halbert." Tradition recorded by Sally (Humphreys) Boyett, born 5 Feb. 1844, Pickens County, S. C. "The Humphreys family came to America from Wales ten years before the Revolutionary War. Coming over were David, Daniel, and Benjamin, and they were the only Humphreys in America at that time. David settled in North Carolina, Daniel in Virginia, and Benjamin in Baltimore, Maryland. They were pure Welsh." Tradition printed in MEMORIAL AND GENEALOGICAL REC­ ORD OF SOUTHWEST TEXAS, Goodspeed, 1894. Taken from biography of Benjamin Wayne Humphreys, born 27 Nov.
