Thomas Edward Thorpe, History of Chemistry
"[Henry Cavendish] fixed the weight of the earth; he established the proportions of the constituents of the air; he occupied himself with the quantitative study of the laws of heat; and lastly, he demonstrated the nature of water and determined its volumetric composition. Earth, air, fire, and water—each and all came within the range of his observations."

"ثبّت هنري كافنديش وزن الأرض؛ وأرسى نسب مكونات الهواء؛ وعكف على الدراسة الكمية لقوانين الحرارة؛ وأخيرًا، بيّن طبيعة الماء وحدد تركيبه الحجمي. الأرض والهواء والنار والماء—كلها مجتمعة، وواحدة تلو الأخرى، دخلت في نطاق ملاحظاته."
