Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Sir Humphrey Davy and the Invention of the Safety-Lamp It seems, therefore, that in a chemical sense coal differs from wood in containing nearly twice as much carbon, somewhat less hydrogen, which is one Of the chief elements of water, and con siderably less oxygen, which is one Of the chief elements of air; in other words, as the wood gradually decays, the hydrogen and oxygen, or gaseous parts, disappear more quickly than the carbon, or solid parts, and hence a great excess Of carbon remains in the fossil wood. Roughly speaking, we may say that you can convert wood into coal by soaking it in water, and exposing it to Immense heat and pressure for a considerable period.

Book excerpt: In 1817, Sir Humphry Davy came up with an invention that, while perhaps seeming modest to our modern eyes, was revolutionary in its time: the Davy Lamp. Designed to be used by miners, who previously had struggled against both darkness and the dangers of asphyxiation and explosion, the Miners' Safety Lamp brought about a dramatic improvement in the safety and working conditions of the countless men toiling in mines around the world throughout the nineteenth century, with its ever-growing need for natural resources to fuel industry. This book marks the bicentennial of the invention of the lamp through reproductions of Davy's original manuscripts and notes for the invention, with the addition of expert commentary and images, and is published in association with the Royal Institute, where the archive of Sir Humphry Davy is held.
