"Idiosyncracies" is a medical journal by Sir Humphry Rollestone, who served as physician to King George V of the United Kingdom.

Davy played such a significant part in London's social and philosophical world that his name repeatedly occurred in his time's memoirs and biographical literature. Sir Humphry Davy was an English chemist and inventor. He invented the Davy lamp and a very early form of arc lamp. He experimented with nitrous oxide in 1799 and was amazed at how it ...
