DAVISON, ALEXANDER, Esq. St. James's Square, partner in a banking-house Pall Mall, and formerly Treasurer of the Ordnance. This gentleman having a contract for supplying the troops in the Isle of Wight with coals, was charged in the third report of the Commissioners of Military Enquiry with the production of false statements in his accounts. This matter afterwards became the subject of legal investigation, and terminated in the confinement of Mr. D. in Newgate, which led to his publication of the following pamphlet:

Milit. Enquiry, 8vo. 1807.

mistry. A situation so favorable to the cultivation of his favorite science enabled him to make those important improvements and discoveries which have extended his fame as a chemist over the whole civilized world, and raised him to his present eminence. Early in 1812 he married Mrs. Apreece, with a handsome fortune; soon afterwards received the honor of Knighthood from the Prince Regent, and resigned the Professorship at the Royal Institution. In October 1818, he set out with his lady for France and Italy, where he is expected to remain about three years. Besides numerous papers in the Phil. Trans. Phil. Mag. and Nicholson's Journal, he has written:

Mr. D. having completed his collection, at first issued proposals for publishing it by subscription; but as he was poor and, for obvious reasons, his theological labours obtained no patronage, he resolved to print it himself, that is, with his own hands. With a press, which he made for himself, and as many worn and cast-off types, purchased from a country printing office, as sufficed to set up two pages, he fell to work in 1795. Performing, with the assistance of his female domestic, every operation, and working off page by page, he struck off forty copies of the first three hundred pages; 26 of which he distributed among the Universities, the Bishops, the Royal Society and the Reviews, hoping no doubt to receive from some of those quarters, that encouragement to which he thought himself. entitled. Disappointed in this expectation, he resolved to spare himself the expence of paper in future; and as he had reserved only fourteen copies of the forty with which he commenced, three of which he mentions as being imperfect, he con- DAWSON, G.

the first degree, resorted to him in the
long summer vacations, and their num-

he relinquished his profession, and has
for many years attended solely to this
occupation. In Dr. Hutton's Miscellanea
Mathematica may be seen a controversy
in which Mr. D. was engaged with the
Rev. Mr. Wildbore, a celebrated mathe-
matician, on the Evacuation of Vessels
in Motion; in which under the trans-
posed signature of Wadson he completely
foiled his antagonist. He was also engag-
ed in a dispute with the late Mr. Emerson
on the subject of fluxions, in which he
had the advantage. Besides his writings
on these occasions, and two papers in the

to be the only production of his pen;
