[9] Probably the caricature by Gilray of the Royal Institution and Sir John Hippesley, published on May 23. Count Rumford was caricatured on June 12, 1800. [10] Blagden himself had just been accused of being a spy. [11] It was not until May 1, 1807, that King Maximilian Joseph, ‘having extended the bounds of his kingdom, gave a new constitution to the Bavarian Academy, proportioned to the existing state of science and to his new empire.’ The first public meeting was held on July 27. [12] The gentlemen chosen were the Earl of Winchelsea, Mr. Wilberforce, the Rev. Dr. Glasse, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Richard Sulivan, Mr. Colquhoun, Mr. Parry, and Mr. Bernard. [13] If any other season should be thought more convenient for these elections, it will of course be chosen instead of that here proposed. [14] No notice of workshops exists in the first number of the Journal, dated April 1800. In the second number, containing the report to the managers on May 25, 1801, it is said that eighteen or twenty young men are to be boarded and lodged in the house (p. 27, Journal). [15] This gallery staircase has left its mark in the Institution, and is drawn in the old plans of the house. There was originally no door into the theatre under the gallery. [16] Sir J. Hippesley, elected May 19. [17] Now the anteroom. [18] Now the lecturers’ room. [19] This was part of the front area. [20] Now the chemical laboratory, 1871. [21] This and a line below are the only traces of praise of Count Rumford that are to be found in the records of the Institution. [22] _Edinburgh Review_, Nos. II. and IX., 1803, 1804. [23] See Appendix II. [24] See p. 205. [25] See p. 210. [26] Hippesleys and Bernards. [27] Where Mr. Sharpe, Sydney Smith’s friend, lived. [28] Mr. E. Davy, his cousin. [29] See below, p. 350, _Life of Professor Davy_. [30] This lecture was given. In it Mr. Coleridge made a violent personal attack on Mr. Joseph Lancaster, and a year afterwards, at the annual meeting of proprietors, a resolution was carried unanimously that ‘this attack was in direct violation of a known and established rule of the Royal Institution, prohibiting any personal animadversions in the lectures there delivered.’ [31] Probably Mr. Boulton of Birmingham. [32] Present, Sir Joseph Banks, Earl of Morton, Count Rumford, and Richard Clark, Esq. [33] The substance of these lectures was published in the fourth number of the Journals of the Royal Institution, p. 49, edited by Dr. Young. The paper is called _Outlines of a View of Galvanism_. It is dated September 1801. [34] This was the first memoir on the _Theory of Light and Colours_, read Nov. 12, 1801. [35] Davy always thought he caught the fever during an experiment for disinfecting Newgate Prison. [36] Some time after his recovery it was said in the Institution that his laboratory experiments caused his illness.
