  Robert Bunsen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After his return to Germany, Bunsen became a lecturer at Göttingen and began experimental studies of the (in)solubility of metal salts of arsenious acid.
In 1841, Bunsen created a carbon electrode that could be used instead of the expensive platinum electrode used in Grove's battery.
For that purpose, Bunsen (or his laboratory assistant Peter Desdega) had in 1855 perfected a special gas burner, invented by the scientist Michael Faraday, that was later named the "Bunsen burner".

In the novel, even the man of the world Raphael, saturated with intellectual experience, who forms a contrast to Philammon, the simple monk of the Laura, is led by the grace of divine love to a better mind.
The learning brought to bear upon the course of the narrative of which Hypatia, historical in the outline of the portrait, is the central figure, is ample enough to warrant the high praise bestowed upon “Kingsley’s masterpiece” by Bunsen, 30 who had himself drunk deeply from the sources of the narrative.

 FRIEDRICH MAX MÜLLER AND THE MIGRATION OF GERMAN ACADEMICS TO BRITAIN IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
His position there and subsequent rise in the British intelligentsia was to a large part due to the support of the Prussian Ambassador, Baron von Bunsen.
He was one of many whose migration from Germany to Britain was facilitated by Bunsen, and was a central part of Bunsen’s wider scheme for Anglo-German cultural exchange and mutual understanding.
Max Müller arrived in Britain at a time when German scholarship and education was attracting a great deal of interest, and his entry to the British academic establishment was both enabled and shaped by this fact.

He may have failed in the interpretation of the particular Greek inscription, to which Baron Bunsen refers j nor did he pursue Greek criticism as a special study.
The Abate Matranga bore ample witness to the depth and accuracy of his Greek scholarship j and I myself, in the few observations which I heard him offer on the Eugubian inscriptions, was struck by the sagacity, the precision, and the suggestive spirit which they evinced.
Bunsen, no doubt, when he speaks of Biblical criticism, speaks mainly of the German School of that science, and very probably of the last and most popular critic, Lachmann.

Kip's impressions as to the Cardinal's want of skill in the science of language and of its philosphical bearing on history and ethnology, must be admitted to have more, foundation, and are shared by several of the scholars who visited him, especially those who cultivated ethnology as a particular study.
1 have reserved for this place a short notice of the Cardinal, which has been communicated to me by Baron Bunsen, and which, while it does ample justice to Mezzofanti's merits as a linguist, puts a very low estimate on his accomplishments as a philologer, and a critic.

Reproduced below is the text of the official report to Sir Edward Grey (the British Foreign Secretary) made by the British Ambassador in Vienna, Sir Maurice de Bunsen.
In his report de Bunsen made clear his belief that the Austro-Hungarian government was set upon war with Serbia from the outset, crafting their ultimatum to Serbia in such a manner as to make war inevitable.
The delivery at Belgrade on the 23rd of July of the Austrian note to Serbia was preceded by a period of absolute silence at the Ballplatz (note: Office of the Austrian Ministry of State.).

This difficulty was, however, overcome with the help of Baron Bunsen and H.H. Wilson, the first Boden Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford who recommended him to East India Company for financial support.

Humboldt tells this story in a letter to the Baron Bunsen, and adds, in a sly tone of sarcasm, 'I imagine that Cavendish little suspected at that day that it was I who was to be, upon his death, his successor in the Academy of Sciences.'

Still, while recommending immediate resistance to the appoint–ment of Bunsen' s nominee, he deprecated any attempt at present to get rid of the Bishopric, and suggested that it had better be left either to die a natural death or to be altered so as to render it 'safe instead of slippery.'
Things have seemingly much changed since the first appointment was made; we have seen more of the Prussian temper and what they mean by it, and that the statements of Bunsen and Abeken are no index whatever, of the mind of their countrymen.
It does not seem to be a straightforward proceeding on the part of the K[ing] of Pr[ussia] towards the English Church.
