Robert Warington : ウィキペディア英語版 | Robert Warington Robert Warington (7 September 1807 – 17 November 1867) was an English chemist considered the driving force behind the creation of the world's first enduring chemistry society, The Chemical Society of London, which later became the Royal Society of Chemistry. He convened the Society's first meeting in 1841 and served as its Secretary for ten years. The "aquarium principle" was fully developed in 1850 by Warington, explaining that plants added to water in a container would give off enough oxygen to support animals, so long as their numbers do not grow too large.〔Katherine C. Grier (2008) "Pets in America: A History". p. 53. University of North Carolina Press〕 He published his findings in 1850 in the Quarterly Journal of the Chemical Society of London.〔Brunner, B: ''The Ocean at Home'', page 36〕 The third son of Thomas Warington, a ship victualler, Robert entered Merchant Taylors' school in 1818. In November 1822 he was articled for five years to John Thomas Cooper, a lecturer in the medical schools of Aldersgate Street and Webb Street, and a manufacturer of potassium, sodium, iodine, and other then rare chemical substances.〔 He was subsequently a chemist with Messrs Truman, Hanbury & Buxton and, from 1842 until his death in 1867, chemical operator at the Society of Apothecaries.〔 == References ==
