Excerpt from Records of General Science, Vol. 4

April following, or in the short space of four months, he entered upon a correspondence with Dr. Beddoes, relative to his researches on heat and light, and a new hypothesis of their nature, to which the doctor became a convert. His results were published in 1799, in his Essays'on Heat and Light. His rapid advancement was promoted by several fortunate circumstances. In the winter of 1797, Mr. Gregory Watt, fresh from the University of Glasgow, visited Penzance, and boarded with Davy's mother. Davy speedily became acquainted with him, and the acquaintance soon ripened into a close and disinterested friendship. They explored the coast together, visited the most remark able mines and investigated the natural history of the dis triet. These were no small advantages.
