Henry Lawson (astronomer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Lawson (astronomer) Henry Lawson (1774–1855) was an English astronomer. ==Life== He was the second son of Johnson Lawson, dean of Battle, Sussex, and Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Wright of Bath, Somerset, he was born at Greenwich on 23 March 1774. He was a pupil of Charles Burney, and then entered as an apprentice the optical establishment of his stepfather Edward Nairne of Cornhill. Subsequently he did not go into in business, but concentrated on scientific study. Living in Hereford after his marriage, he equipped an observatory with a five-foot refractor in 1826, and with one of eleven feet in 1834, made by George Dollond. A relative having left him a fortune, he moved to Bath in 1841, and mounted his instruments on the roof of his house at No. 7 Lansdown Crescent.〔 Lawson devoted time to promoting science for young people, and dispensing charity. He died at Bath in his eighty-second year, a few weeks after his wife, on 22 August 1855, and was buried at Weston.〔
