HENWOOD, WILLIAM JORY (1805-1875)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 304 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HENWOOD, WILLIAM JORY (1805-1875) , English mining geologist, was born at Perron Wharf,
Cornwall
 , on the 16th of January 18o5. In 182 2 he commenced
work
  as a clerk in a mining office, and soon took an active
interest
  in the working of mines and in the metalliferous deposits. In 1832 he was appointed to the office of assay-master and supervisor of tin in the duchy of
Cornwall
 , a post from which he retired in 1838. Meanwhile fie. had commenced in 1826 to communicate papers on mining subjects to the Royal
Geological
  Society of Cornwall, and the
Geological
  Society of London, and in 184o he was elected F.R.S. In 1843 he went to take charge of the Gongo-Soco mines in Brazil ; afterwards he proceeded to India to report on certain metalliferous deposits for the Indian government; and in 1858, impaired in
health
 , he retired and settled at Penzance. His most important memoirs on the metalliferous deposits of Cornwall and
Devon
  were published in 1843 by the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall. At a much later date he communicated with enlarged
experience a second
series
  of Observations on Metalliferous Deposits, and on Subterranean Temperature (reprinted from Trans. R. Geol. Soc. Cornwall, 2 vols., 1871). In 1874 he contributed a
paper
  on the Detrital Tin-ore of Cornwall (Journ. R. Inst. Cornwall). The Murchison
medal
  of the Geological Society was awarded to him in 1875, and the
mineral
  Henwoodite was named after him. He died at Penzance on the 5th of August 1875.
