Hampton Dewey

Hampton Dewey was a prominent chemist known for his role at the Royal Institution in the early 19th century. He delivered a series of lectures in 1812, which were attended by the self-taught genius Michael Faraday, who took detailed notes on Dewey's teachings. Dewey's work contributed significantly to the field of chemistry during a time when scientific discoveries were rapidly evolving. Recently, his lectures and Faraday's notes from that period have been made digitally accessible to the public for the first time, shedding light on their historical significance.
