John Tatum (1772–1858) was a British scientist and philosopher and a London silversmith by trade. [1] [2]
He was the founder, in 1808, of the City Philosophical Society. [3]
He lived at 53 Dorset Street in London, and used his home to give weekly lectures and talks; some of these were attended by Michael Faraday. [4]
