Humphry Davy (1778-1829) was a British chemist known for several inventions and discoveries including the Davy lamp, the field of electrochemistry, and the elemental nature of chlorine and iodine. This work is a syllabus for one of the earliest courses of lectures delivered by Davy as professor of chemistry at the Royal Institution when he was only twenty-six years old. Divided into two parts, the course comprises “Chemistry, in its connexion with natural operations” and “Chemistry, in its connexion with artificial operations." This item is bound with the work An Explanation of Terms Used in Chemistry by John Sadler, who was Davy's laboratory assistant. The booklet was designed to be issued with Sadler's Explanation of Terms, but it was also sold separately as an independent work. It is digitized in its entirety.
