Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox person Dr Henry Burton Шаблон:Postnominals (27 February 1799 – 10 August 1849) was a British physician and chemist, who is famous for his identification of blue discolouration of the gums, the eponymous Burton line, as a symptom of lead poisoning.
Family
Henry Burton was a son of the London property developer James Burton and his wife Elizabeth Westley (1761 – 1837).[1] Henry was a brother of the gunpowder manufacturer William Ford Burton, the architect Decimus Burton, and the Egyptologist, James Burton.[1][2][3]
As the Cambridge Alumni Database identifies,[4] some sources, including the entry for Henry Burton in the Royal College of Physicians’s Lives of the Fellows,[5] incorrectly state that Henry Burton was the son of one ‘John Burton’. This is incorrect: he was the son of the aforementioned James Burton.[4][3][1][2]
On his father's side, his great-great grandparents were Rev. James Haliburton (1681–1756) and Margaret Eliott, daughter of Sir William Eliott, 2nd Baronet and aunt of George Augustus Eliott, 1st Baron Heathfield.[2] Henry was descended from John Haliburton (1573–1627), from whom Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet could trace his descent on the maternal side.[1] He was a cousin of the Tory MP Thomas Chandler Haliburton, and of the civil servant Arthur Lawrence Haliburton, 1st Baron Haliburton.[3][6][7]
Career
Henry was educated at Tonbridge School,[1] Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, at which he received the degrees MB, ML, MD, BS, and Шаблон:Postnominals,[4][5] and later at St Bartholomew's Hospital.[4]
He went to sea on the 98-gun HMS Boyne before resigning from the Navy and entering the Gunpowder Office.[3] In September 1825, he became Professor of Chemistry at St Thomas' Hospital,[4][5][1] where he subsequently became Senior Physician. He was appointed Censor of the Royal College of Physicians in 1838 and later was appointed Consiliarius[4][5] He is famous for his discovery that a blue line on the gums, the eponymous Burton line, is a symptom of lead poisoning.[5][8][9]
Marriage
Henry Burton married Mary Elizabeth, eldest daughter of William Poulton of Maidenhead, at St. George's, Bloomsbury, in 1826.[2] She died in 1829, without issue, and Henry did not remarry.[3][2] Henry lived at 41 Jermyn Street, London,[4] and 58 Marina, St. Leonard's-on-Sea.[3][2]
