His studies in the field of radiant heat led to him receiving the Rumford Medal of the Royal Society in 1868. In 1859 he was appointed director of Kew Observatory; elected professor of physics at Owens College, Manchester, and retained that chair until his death, which happened near Drogheda, in Ireland; Stewart was born in Edinburgh, and was educated at Dundee, the University of St Andrews, and the University of Edinburgh. The son of a tea merchant, he was for some time engaged in business in Leith and in Australia, but, returning to his studies of physics at Edinburgh, he became assistant to J. D. Forbes in 1856. Forbes was especially interested in questions of heat, meteorology, and terrestrial magnetism, and it was to these that Stewart also mainly devoted himself; died: Ballymagarvey, Balrath, County Meath, Ireland) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Stewart> |
