Sir Humphry Davy began his serious scientific studies in 1797. His early chemistry experiments were conducted in a well-equipped laboratory to which he was introduced by his friend Davies Giddy (later Gilbert).1

Following this, in 1798, Davy was appointed chemical superintendent of the Pneumatic Institution in Clifton, where he conducted research into the therapeutic uses of various gases. During this time, he utilized a small private laboratory to perform his investigations, most notably his experiments with nitrous oxide.1
