Oxford, but never graduated. In 1798 he proceeded to See also:Gottingen to prosecute legal studies, but having attended the lectures of See also:Blumenbach he was attracted to the study of natural See also:history, and, coming into the See also:possession of a See also:fortune, he abandoned See also:law and devoted his See also:attention to See also:science. He studied See also:mineralogy at See also:Freiburg under See also:Werner, travelled in various parts of See also:Europe and the See also:British Isles, and worked at See also:chemistry at the Royal Institution. A visit to See also:Ireland aroused deep See also:interest in See also:political questions, and he was in 1807 elected member of See also:parliament for the See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf.
