Samuel Morey in the news

I had read about this when it was news, but didn't remember that it was about they guy I'm now doing research on.

I've been meaning to post more, but I've been busy working and biking up a storm. On the bike, I've been introduced to some fun dirt roads including this one which has some spectacular views (especially because the colors are nice now). On the academic side of things, the L tornado just hit the library in search of information on Samuel Morey. I'm trying to figure out if I can somehow include him in my history term paper. To that end I've acquired 6 articles published between 1819 and 1820 in the American Journal of Science and Arts (digitized thankfully), requested one book from storage, and requested one book from Cornell. At the end of one of Morey's articles, the editor remarks: "Mr. Gay Lussac, of Paris, in the Annales de Chimie, &c. for June 1819, has commented on Mr. Morey's method of producing light and heat, and he stated some objections. It was my intention to translate this piece, and give it to the American public, along with Mr. Morey's communications, but the accidental loss of the No. of the Annales de Chimie in question, puts this, for the present, out of my power." I'm trying to track down this article to see if it was directed at Morey or simply a common method that Morey used. If it's the former, that would be interesting because Gay Lussac is much more famous than Morey. Unfortunatly, I don't know French, but if I do get my hands on this article it should be easy to skim for Morey's name as a start.
