The Roman Catholics in this place not being very numerous, they have no place of worship. In 1779, was born at Penzance, Sir Humphrey Davey, a character that would reflect honour on any age ^r any county. He was descended from an ancient and respectable fa- mily. The earlier part of his educa- tion was received under Dr. Cardew, at Truro, which he left in a few years to acquire the profession of a surgeon GO and apothecary, under a medical gentleman at Penzance. Here his genius for chemistry fi...rst displayed itself, in varying the experiments of the most clebrated pneumatic che- mists, andadaptingthem to vegetables, exclusively produced ontheseashore. These were communicated to Dr. Beddoes, who, sensible of Mr. Davey's merit, engaged his assistance at a medical establishment, just then be- ginning at Bristol. Mr. Davey intro- duced himself to the public by a treatise "On the nature and relation of light and heat. " The credit justly acquired by this work, and by sub- sequent essays, added to his success- ful delivery of a course of lectures at Clifton, procured for him the notice of the Royal Institution in London, where he now holds the situation of chemical lecturer, and by his lectures and experiments contributes largely to the natural information on subjects l>efore unknown, or imperfectly con- sidered.
