‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- "The most notable chemical researches of W. HENRY were on hydrocarbon gases and on the combustion of ammonia with oxygen. In the second he determined the composition of ammonia gas by exploding it with a small amount of oxygen... HENRY entered Edinburg University in 1795... In 1798-1799 he had given his first lecture demonstrations, firmly grounded in the new doctrines and nomenclature. His textbook, Elements of experimental chemistry, was the most popular and successful chemistry text in English for more than thirty years...". (Partington III & DSB VI)**26420/2642/o2‎
