	William Perkins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Perkins (1558-1602) was a clergyman and Cambridge theologian who was one of the foremost leaders of the Puritan movement in the Church of England.
		Perkins was born to Thomas and Anna Perkins at Marston Jabbett in the parish of Bulkington, Warwickshire, England in 1558, the year in which the Protestant Elizabeth I succeeded her Catholic sister Mary as Queen of England.
		Perkins thus began a lifelong association with the "moderate-puritan" wing of the Church of England, which, according to historian Peter Lake, held views similar to those of the continental Calvinist theologians Theodore Beza, Girolamo Zanchi, and Zacharias Ursinus.

	William Perkin
		Sir William Henry Perkin was a chemist born in Shadwell in 1838 and died in 1907.
		Perkin and BASF agreed to a split in the manufacturing of the dyes (Perkin to Britain, BASF to the rest of the world), but in 1874 Perkin sold his factory and continued his research in organic chemistry.
		Among his 60+ papers are his discovery of the Perkin reaction[?] and his synthesis of the synthetic perfume coumarin.

	William Perkin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Henry Perkin was born in East End of London, the youngest of seven children.
		After Perkin's discovery, innumerable new aniline dyes appeared (some discovered by Perkin himself), and the factories required to produce them were constructed all across Europe, launching what amounted to an international trade war in fabrics and dyes.
		The Perkin Medal was established in 1906 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the discovery of mauveine.

	§5. William Perkin’s "Art of Witch craft". XVI. The Advent of Modern Thought in Popular Literature. Vol. 7. ...
		William Perkins, in his Discoverie of the damned Art of Witch craft (1608), is, perhaps, the most typical.
		Perkins is oppressed with the spectacle of human error: he sees that men have the instinct to worship some god and that, in hours of great danger or superhuman effort, they turn for help to some higher power.
		But the true God has placed a limit to the knowledge and power of men, and many ambitious mortals are blind to these restrictions and endeavour to pass the goal of ordinance.

	William Henry Perkin
		Attending the City of London School he devoted all his spare time to chemistry, and on leaving, in 1853, entered the Royal College of Chemistry, then under the direction of August Wilhelm von Hofmann, in whose own research laboratory he was in the course of a year or two promoted to be an assistant.
		In this attempt he was unsuccessful, but the observations he made in the course of his experiments induced him, early in 1856, to try the effect of treating aniline sulphate with bichromate of potash.
		Perkin also had a large share in the introduction of artificial alizarin, the red dye of the madder root.

		William Henry Perkin (1838-1907), the son of a builder, showed a keen interest in chemistry from an early age and enrolled at the Royal College of Chemistry in 1853 where he attended the lectures of the German chemist AW Hofmann (1818-92), renowned for his research and teaching abilities.
		Perkin undertook the oxidation at home, having in his enthusiasm for research equipped part of a room in his father's house for this purpose soon after beginning his studies under Hofmann.
		In 1869 Perkin devised two new methods which allowed the economic manufacture of alizarin, the natural colouring matter of madder, the prime red dye of the period, the synthesis of which had been reported by Graebe and Liebermann in 1868 but by a process too expensive to be of commercial interest.

		Perkin, thanks to thee for fishing out of the coal hole those precious stripes and bands of purple on summer gowns that, wafting gales of frangipanni, charms us in the West End streets luring on foolish bachelors to sudden proposals and dreams of love and a cottage loaf.
		Perkin and Sons used to boast that the Grand Union Canal outside his door which they used to ship his dyes up to the clothing dyers in Scotland and Yorkshire and Lancanshire used to turn a different colour every week depending on what shade they were making.
		There was also Perkin’s green, popular for a while in calico printing and aniline pink and Perkin’s own form of magenta, involving the use of mercuric nitrate which soon had to be curtailed due to the harmful effect of the mercury on his workman.

	William Henry Perkin
		William Henry Perkin, who at the age of 18 had accidentally produced the first ever synthetic dye (aniline purple, better known as mauveine), set up a factory on the banks of the Grand Union Canal in 1857 to produce it.
		In the Imperial College chemistry archives, there is a sample of silk (approx 5 x 10 cm in size) dyed with a batch of the original dye synthesised in the 1850s, and a "penny lilac" postage stamp originally thought to have been dyed with the same compound.
		Perkin and BASF came to an agreement over the manufacturing processes, but the heyday of synthetic dye manufacturing in Greenford was now waning, and in 1874, Perkin sold his dyeworks to Brooke, Simpson and Spiller.

		A bit of a prodigy, William Perkins set up a home laboratory to augment his college studies in 1856 and decided to try his hand at synthesizing quinine, which was in great demand as malaria raged across the British empire.
		William Perkin was, by all accounts, a modest, pleasant Englishman with a talent for chemistry and a mind for research.
		Perkin is honored with the odd plaque and bust in colleges and chemistry clubs, but is otherwise a forgotten man. With great wit, scientific savvy, and historical scope, Simon Garfield delivers a fascinating tale of how this accidental genius set in motion an extraordinary scientific leap.

	William Perkin's Complete Chart on Salvation
		Perkin’s Golden Chain from an old photocopy I had obtained of the page on which it resides in his work.
		Perkins' "Golden Chain" is a basic guide to Puritan theology and preaching.
		Perkins considers faith the result of God's effectual call rather than of sinful man's "free will." In examining his chart, you will find that repentance is set at the end of the believer’s conversion experience, right before his “new obedience”.

	Making the Modern World - New science, new materials, new power
		In 1856 a chemist called William Perkin discovered how to mass produce colour in a factory and the synthetic dye industry was born.
		Perkin himself produced two important new colours, 'Britannia Violet' and 'Perkin's Green' (it is said that the water in the Grand Union Canal turned a different colour depending on what dyes were being made that week).
		Perkin and BASF came to an agreement that divided the international market for this important dye: Perkin would sell alizarin to Britain, BASF to the rest of the world.

		In 1856, with the streets outside lit by coal-fueled gas lights, eighteen-year-old William Perkin sat in a room overlooking the London docks, tinkering with a toxic byproduct of coal distillation.
		Perkin made color from coal using aniline¾a highly poisonous organic base that’s now used in everything from drugs to plastics¾and he created what is known as the first commercially marketed aniline dye.
		If Garfield emphasized the idea that Perkin changed the world through grand scientific advances to ensure readers that he was an important figure, his efforts weren’t necessary.

		At the end of April I was invited to attend the first of many celebrations organized by the Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC) to mark the 150th anniversary of the invention of mauve.
		The SDC chose the occasion to award its Perkin Medal, a supremely rare and valuable accolade (solid gold, and as big as a drink coaster), for the first time this century.
		I wondered what Perkin, who died 99 years ago adorned with a fashionable long white beard, would have made of it all, and I concluded that he would have been delighted.

		Perkin set up a factory (Perkin and Sons) on the banks of the Grand Union (then the Grand Junction) Canal in 1857 to produce mauveine.
		Parts of the original Greenford buildings survived until the centenary celebrations in 1957, and the last traces were demolished as recently as 1976, the only remaining sign being the blue plaque erected on the buildings now there.
		After he retired in 1874, Perkin continued research in organic chemistry, discovering the "Perkin Reaction", and perhaps most significantly, synthesising coumarin, which formed the basis of the synthetic perfume industry.

		Perkin had tried and gotten nowhere with naphthalidine, so he decided to fiddle around with a related coal-tar derivative called aniline.
		Until Perkin came along, the only method of tinting cloth involved organic (i.e., animal or vegetable) dyes, and only a handful of hues could be achieved.
		Perkin's mauve (a violet hue) initially became popular not in his homeland of England, but in France—mauve is the French name for the mallow plant.
