		Wollaston starts with the assumption that religion and morality are identical, and labors to show that religion is the pursuit of happiness by the practice of truth and reason.
		WOLLASTON, WILLIAM HYDE (1766-1828), English chemist and natural philosopher, was born at East Dereham, Norfolk, on the 6th of April 1766, the second of seventeen.
		In geological circles Wollaston is famous for the medal which bears his name, and which (together with a donation fund) is annually awarded by the council of the Geological Society of London, being the result of the interest on iooo bequeathed by Wollaston for promoting researches concerning the mineral structure of the earth.

	William Hyde Wollaston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Hyde Wollaston (August 6, 1766 – December 22, 1828) was an English chemist who is famous for discovering two chemical elements and for developing a way to process platinum ore.
		He became wealthy by developing the first physico-chemical method for processing platinum ore in practical quantities, and in the process of testing the device he discovered the elements palladium (symbol Pd) in 1803 and rhodium (symbol Rh) in 1804.
		His optical work was important as well, where he is remembered for his observations of dark Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum (1802) which eventually led to the discovery of the elements in the Sun.

		Wollaston was the first scientist to outline the differences between the new galvanic current and that of the standard frictional current when he presented a paper before the Royal Society in June 1801.
		Wollaston in the meantime also learned about Oersted's discovery of electromagnetism and reasoned that Ampere's circular currents of electromagnetic action were the result of helical current revolving around its own axis when a permanent magnet was close to the wire.

		His physiological studies were also focused on the frequency sensitivity of the ear, the limits of which he established in 1820, and the process of vision.

		In fact, Wollaston's calculations were conceptually similar to the ones required here, but in reverse: he knew or assumed the formulas for these materials and derived the equivalent weight (related to the atomic weight) of one of the components.

	Wollaston
		The Englishman William Hyde Wollaston made significant theoretical and practical contributions to physics, and to optics in particular.
		He invented the refractometer for measuring refractive indices with the aid of total reflection and developed what is known as the "camera lucida".
		Outside the field of physics, Wollaston also devoted his attention not only to chemistry, but also to physiological and chemical processes in the human organism.
