Thomas Henshaw (alchemist)
Thomas Henshaw (1618–1700) was an English lawyer, courtier, diplomat and scientific writer. While not a published alchemist, he was a significant figure in English alchemical work from the 1650s onwards; he is known to have used the pen-name "Halophilus".〔Donald R. Dickson, ''Thomas Vaughan and the Iatrochemical Revolution'', Seventeenth Century; Spring 2000, Vol. 15 Issue 1, p. 24; (PDF ).〕
==Early life==
The son of Benjamin Henshaw and his wife Anne, and brother to Nathaniel Henshaw, he was baptised at St. Mary Magdalen, Milk Street, City of London, on 15 June 1618.〔Ancestry.co.uk〕 After attending school at Barnet and then at Cripplegate, London, under Thomas Farnaby, he was entered as commoner at University College, Oxford, in 1634, and remained there five years without taking a degree. At the suggestion of Obadiah Walker and Abraham Woodhead, he studied mathematics, a student of William Oughtred at Albury, Surrey for nine months from 1636, finding it more stimulating than the teaching of his tutor John Elmherst.〔Darley, p. 43.〕 He also knew the Rosicrucian scholar William Backhouse, who was another of Oughtred's pupils.〔Darley, p. 49.〕
Henshaw entered the Middle Temple, and in 1637 became tutor there to John Evelyn, to become a lifelong friend, and his brothers. On the outbreak of the First English Civil War he joined Charles I at York. Soon afterwards he went to London, and was taken prisoner by the Parliamentarians.〔
