Davy is credited with discovering chlorine and iodine and for isolating for the first-time potassium sodium calcium strontium barium magnesium and boron. As befit a well-rounded man of his day Ayrton describes him: "His mind was as vigorous as it was original and no less logical and precise as it was daring and comprehensive; nothing was too mighty for its grasp nothing too minute for its observation; like the trunk of the elephant it could tear up the oak of the forest or gently pluck the acorn from its branch" p.14.
