ROBERT HUNT [6th September 1807 17th October 1887], a scientist and antiquarian, was born at Devonport, Plymouth. He was involved in statistical, mineralogical and other studies. Hunt's father, a naval officer, drowned while Robert was a youth. He began to study in London for the medical profession, but ill-health caused him to return to settle in Cornwall. In 1829, he published The Mount's Bay; a descriptive poem. and other pieces but received little critical or financial success. In 1840, he became secretary to the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society at Falmouth where he met Robert Were Fox, and carried on some physical and chemical investigations with him. Following Daguerre's discovery, Hunt took up photography with great enthusiasm, developed the actinograph and introduced business processes. His Manual of Photography (1841, ed. 5, 1857) was the first English treatise on the subject. Hunt also experimented generally on the action of light, and published Researches on Light (1844).
