Researches, Chemical and Philosophical Chiefly Concerning Nitrous

Davy, H. (1800) Researches Chemical and Philosophical, Chiefly Concerning Nitrous Oxide iutd its Respiration. J. Johnson, London. 

Davy s research was to make him famous, not because he performed dangerous experiments, but because he discovered a new recreational drug. In 1800 he published a 580-page book titled Researches, Chemical and Philosophical, Chiefly Concerning Nitrous Oxide, or Dephlogisticated Nitrous Air, and Its Respiration in which he discussed his discovery of, and researches on, laughing gas. Describing its effects, Davy wrote ...
