The Life and Times of Goldsworthy: Gentleman Scientist and Inventor 1793-1875 Hardcover - 1998

by Dale Porter; Introduction by Gay W. Brack; O. M. Brack


From the publisher

Goldsworthy Gurney trained as a surgeon in Cornwall but moved to London in 1820 to participate in the chemistry revolution led by Humphrey Davy and Michael Faraday. Successful as an inventor of laboratory equipment, lighting fixtures, and ventilating systems, he failed to convert his pioneering designs for steam locomotion into commercial success. His career illuminates the social and scientific communities that flourished alongside or under the shadow of Davy, Faraday, and Stephenson.
