Not much is known about his life. He has worked in Paris, Germany, and Italy. He has worked in the laboratory or Ambrose Godfrey in London where he produced ether, following a method of Isaac Newton. His first article about ether was published 1730 in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society under the title An Account of a Spiritus Vini Æthereus, Together with Several Experiments Tried. This article contains an extensive description of the properties of ether. However, his detailed experimental procedure weas only published in 1741 after his death .
