Statements
Education: his father's French School in Islington, Middlesex until 1699; taught by William Saunders in Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire; matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford 1705; BA 1709; MA 1712; bachelor/doctor of laws 1719, incorporated at Cambridge 1726; fellow of Royal Society 1714
Patrons: James Brydges (duke of Chandos) - his most valuable patron, gave him rectory of Stanmore Parva; Desaguliers developed many inventions for Brydges in return. The relationship diminished due to Desaguliers's failure to perform his clerical duties
Periodicals etc.: wrote prolifically for Philosophical Transactions
