Elements of Experimental Chemistry

It is a pleasant irony of history that Berthollet was influential in making Daltons views known in France, through arranging for the translation of the third edition of Thomsons System of Chemistry in 1809, and the sixth edition of William Henry s Elements of Experimental Chemistry in 1812.

Henry, WilHam (1774-1836) English chemist who showed that the solubility of a gas in a liquid at a given temperature is proportional to its pressure. This is known as Henry s law. He wrote an influential and often reprinted book called Elements of Experimental Chemistry (1801). 

In 1801 the first edition of his influential chemistry textbook appeared, originally called An Epitome of Chemistry and in later editions Elements of Experimental Chemistry. The book went through eleven editions over a period of 28 years.
