- William Thomas Brande FRS (11 January 1788 – 11 February 1866), English chemist, was born in London. After leaving Westminster School, he was apprenticed, in 1802, to his brother, an apothecary, with the view of adopting the profession of medicine. However, Brande's bent was towards chemistry, a sound knowledge of which he acquired in his spare time. In 1812 he was appointed professor of chemistry to the Apothecaries' Society, and delivered a course of lectures before the Board of Agriculture in place of Sir Humphry Davy, whom in the following year he succeeded in the chair of chemistry at the Royal Institution, London. From about 1823 onwards, Brande worked increasingly with the Royal Mint, eventually becoming Superintendent of the Coining and Die Department. Brande's Manual of Chemistry, first published in 1819, enjoyed wide popularity, and among other works he brought out a Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art in 1842. He was working on a new edition when he died at Tunbridge Wells. Brande died in 1866, and is buried in the large metropolitan cemetery of West Norwood, London (grave 1177, square 98).
- William Thomas Brande war ein englischer Chemiker. 1813 wurde er Nachfolger von Sir Humphry Davy als Professor für Chemie an der Royal Institution in London. Ebenfalls 1813 wurde er mit der Copley Medal ausgezeichnet.
- William Thomas Brande est un chimiste britannique né à Londres. Après avoir quitté la Westminster School en 1802 il est apprenti de son frère, un apothicaire, en vue de se consacrer à la médecine mais il s'oriente vers la chimie, domaine qu'il acquiert pendant son temps libre. En 1812 il devient professeur de chimie de l'Apothecaries' Society et donne des cours en remplacement de Sir Humphry Davy devant le Board of Agriculture, ancêtre de l'actuel ministère de l'agriculture en Grande-Bretagne. Il succède à Davy à la chaire de chimie de la Royal Institution. Humphry Davy et Brande sont les premiers à isoler le lithium par électrolyse en 1818. Son Manual of Chemistry publié en 1819 est très populaire. Il publie aussi un Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art en 1842. Il meurt à Tunbridge Wells pendant la préparation d'une nouvelle édition de ce dictionnaire.
- William Thomas Brande was een Engels chemicus. Nadat Brande de Westminster School verliet, ging hij in 1802 in de leer bij zijn broer - een apotheker - met het oog op een beroep in de geneeskunde. Brandes voorkeur bleek echter specifiek in de chemie te liggen, waarvan hij in zijn vrije tijd een gedegen kennis verwierf.
- William Thomas Brande foi um químico britânico. Juntamente com Sir Humphry Davy, conseguiu isolar o lítio de seus sais, efetuando a eletrólise do óxido de lítio. Seu Manual of Chemistry, publicado pela primeira vez em 1819, usufruiu de grande popularidade, e entre outras obras Brande publicou o Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art (Dicionário de Ciências, Literatura e Arte) em 1842. Foi durante a preparação de uma nova edição dessa última obra que ele veio a falecer.
