this was a fascinating and thorough look at the life of Humphry Davy (whom I'd never heard of)- 100 quarts of nitrous oxide is insane but his conclusions were shockingly prescient. Thanks for your sharing your research into such an interesting figure
The footnotes alone are intimidating, but this long essay was most interesting. Makes me wonder if Davy died of nitrous oxide poisoning. Four students at my high school died while partying inside an automobile with stolen nitrous oxide. One of their fathers was a dentist. I've always wished I could smoke just one pipeful of opium simply to experience its dream state.
