Young Humphry Davy : The Making of an Experimental Chemist, Memoirs, American Philosophical Society (vol. 237) (Memoirs of the American Philosophical Society)

Chemist and historian Fullmer died in January 2000 just after putting the finishing touches on the manuscript, based on an extended research project that also produced a 1969 bibliography. In what was to be the first of a multi-volume biography of Davy (1778-1829), she describes his life to age 23, when he was a new member of the Royal Institute and looking for a job. Annotation c.
