William Higgins 1763 June 1825 , an Irish chemist, was one of the early proponents of atomic theory. Known mainly for his speculative ideas on chemical combination, William Higgins is popular for the insights his life offers into the emergence of chemistry as a career during the British industrial revolution. Despite an evident charm, his erratic behavior and tendency to indulge personal animosities prevented him from engaging the affections of London society. Instead he found refuge in a succession of government supported chemical positions in Dublin. Thanks to the combination of such scientific opportunities with family resources, he became a very rich man. ref cite web title Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography url http www.encyclopedia.com topic William Higgins.aspx publisher Encyclopedia.com accessdate 8 November 2011 ref Higgins was born in Collooney, County Sligo, Ireland, and came from a well known medical family.

When William was a boy he was sent to London to live with his uncle. Under his uncle s guidance, William developed a strong liking for and expertise in experimental chemistry. In the early 1780s William assisted in making all the experiments detailed in his uncle Bryan Higgins Experiments and Observations Relating to Acetous Acid.

This article is about John Hadley, the chemist. For John Hadley the mathematician 1682 1744 see John Hadley John Hadley 1731 5 November 1764 was a British chemist and physician. John Hadley was appointed in 1756 as the fourth BP Professor of Organic Chemistry Professor of Chemistry at Cambridge University, the oldest continuously occupied chair of Chemistry in the UK. During his time there he co operated in 1758 with Benjamin Franklin on a series of experiments to investigate latent heat. They found that a mercury thermometer sprayed with ether which was then evaporated by blowing could fall to 7 degrees celsius in a warm room. The Professorship was unpaid so Hadley studied medicine and obtained in 1758 a Physick Fellowship. He then moved to London in 1760 and got a post as Assistant Physician at St Thomas Hospital . In 1763 he became full Physician to Charterhouse School and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians . In 1758 he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society .
