Previous | Home | NextAfter his discovery of columbium (niobium), Hatchett moved into his home of Mount Clare, where he lived 1808-1819. This is a painting (anonymous) from 1793; the mansion had been built and developed 1770-1780. Berzelius visited Hatchett here in 1812 and described his estate as an Italian villa with a very well-equipped laboratory nearby -- which unfortunately Hatchett did not much utilize. Although he continued to associate with his science colleagues, his most productive days in chemistry had passed as he moved on to other interests.
