  George Stewart Henry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Stewart Henry (July 16, 1871-September 2, 1958) was a farmer, businessman and politician in Ontario, Canada.
From 1923 to 1930, Henry served as Minister of Highways in the Ferguson government, expanding on the highway system that was initiated by the previous government of Ernest C. Drury.
Henry's farm, now in the North York part of the City of Toronto, became a subdivision of suburban houses in the 1960s, called "Henry Farm".

Henry found that the self-inductance is greatly affected by the configuration of the circuit, especially the coiling of the wire.
Henry noted that tourists who viewed it "all appear to be specially interested in knowing the condition of weather to which their friends at home are subjected at the time." He shared the telegraph dispatches with the Washington Evening Star, which, in May 1857, began publishing daily weather conditions at nearly twenty different cities.
Henry apparently envisioned a system of storm warnings, announcing in his annual report for 1857 that he hoped the following year to arrange with telegraph lines "to give warning on the eastern coast of the approach of storms." But he was not able to implement the plan before the Civil War engulfed the nation.

 STEWART FAMILY APPENDIX
Henry Stewart was not appointed to this prestigious agency until 1784, so the majority of the papers were actually inherited by him from his predecessor, John Hatch.
Mrs Stewart's letters and papers, 1798-1831, which include a copy of her will (1821), principally consist of a run of 337 letters to her, spread over this whole period, from Rebecca Leslie, wife of Colonel, later General, David Leslie, the third son of the 6th Earl of Leven.
The Stewart finances, always parlous, finally collapsed in the 1840s, so that there was nothing left for Stewart's daughter, Louisa, who had married Henry John Clements of Ashfield in 1811, to inherit when her brother, Colonel William Stewart, died childless in 1850.

 John D. Wood / Henry George's Influence on Scottish Land Reform
George welcomed the League's manifesto as a "lark's note in the dawn." The Scottish reputation for logic and intelligence, he declared to a Greenock audience, would help the world wide spread of the movement.
George returned to New York in April 1884 well pleased at having "started the fire in Scotland." He counselled the SLRL leadership by letter vetoing their plans for a publicity tour of America but encouraging them in a mysterious "Skye expedition".

 Clyde E. Reeves / Henry George, Philadelphia's Evangelist of Social Salvation
George, then, seems to have carried over into his social salvation crusade much of the strong general religious background in which he was brought up.
That George himself believed he had arrived at the stand he took by a sort of religious experience is substantiated by Elwood P. Lawrence who in 1957 did an analysis of George's influence in the British Isles from his own time down to the present.
It is, or was up to about 1886 or 1887, completely conceivable to visualize, as George undoubtedly did, persons of every known religious faith free to accept, and freely accepting, as laws of their own deity, the "natural laws" upon which George based his premises and the conclusions that he drew from them.
