Capitolo 33
the lives of men I am everywhere a big number of people, that despite
the most severe and healthy rules, explosions from this cause (and,
therefore, easily avoidable) continually happens a present day,
although far frequently that in front of the invention of the Geordie
lamp.
Curiously enough, to the a lot of duration when George Stephenson was busy
inventing his/her lamp to Killingworth, Mr. to which Humphrey Davy was working
only the same matter in London; and the two lamps, although a small
different in smaller points of construction, it is practically the same in
I begin general. Now, Mr. Humphrey was then the great one to the fashion
the natural philosopher of the day, the favourite of London society and the
popular lecturer of the Real institution. His/her friends thought of him/it a
monstrous idea that its apparatus of splendid life-saving would be due to be
independently conceived from "a motor-wright of Killingworth of the name
of Stephenson--a person that doesn't possess a knowledge of the elements
of the chemistry." This probe very odd reading a present day, when the
motor-wright of the name of Stephenson the whole face has altered of
the world, while Davy is mainly remembered as a meritorious and able
chemical; but to the duration, the application of Stephenson to the invention met with
small courtesy from the great public in London, where a reunion was
kept on purpose to report his/her right to the credit of the invention.
That al which you/they thought the coal-owners and miners of the north Country the
the matter had sufficiently shown from their signature of L1000 as a
Fund of reference of Stephenson. With part of the money, a silver jug
the deserving one was introduced to motor-wright, while the rest of the
sum was given above to him in ready cash. A very acceptable present it
it was, and one that George Stephenson remembered down with pride to his
dying day. The lamp of Geordie continues in use to the present moment in
the coal mine of Tyneside with excellent effect.
For of the years more, the Mr. Stephenson (he is fairly entitled now to that
