In closing this little sketch of Davy it is worth while drawing attention to the fact that although at that period one of the world's leading scientists he found time and inclination to write a considerable amount of very good poetry. These alone would fill a fair sized volume and would entitle him to a nitch in Poets' Corner. He died on May 29th, 1829.
