Unfortunately, he died before he could conduct the experiments and both the idea and the necessary equipment were passed on to a brilliant but magnificently retiring London scientist named Henry Cavendish.

不幸的是，他生前没能完成这项试验。这项试验以及必要的设备都传给了一位杰出而又离群索居的伦敦科学家，他的名字叫亨利·卡文迪许。

At just the time that Henry Cavendish was completing his experiments in London, four hundred miles away in Edinburgh another kind of concluding moment was about to take place with the death of James Hutton.

正当亨利·卡文迪许在伦敦完成试验的时候，在650公里之外的爱丁堡，另一个重大时刻随着詹姆斯·赫顿的去世而即将到来。
