Henry Stephens Washington, the son of George and Eleanor Phoebe (Stephens) Washington, was born in Newark and brought up at Locust, N. J.
He attended private schools and prepared for college under tutors. He graduated from Yale in 1886.
He was a fellow in physics in Yale for the next two years and then spent six years traveling and studying in the West Indies, Europe, Egypt, Algeria, and Asia Minor, in five of these years being enrolled as a member of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. His interest in archaeology was permanent, and he repeatedly applied chemical and petrographical methods to the study of its special problems. During this same period, he studied the volcanic islands scattered through the Grecian and Turkish archipelagoes, developing keen interest in the igneous rocks of the earth's crust. He subsequenly visited many other volcanic islands of the eastern Mediterranean and published a series of petrographic papers on their lavas. Two semesters at the University of Leipzig under the great petrographer Zirkel brought him in 1893 the degree of Ph. D. , for his researches on the volcanoes of the Kula Basin in Lydia, near Smyrna. On October 25 of that year he married Martha Rose Beckwith, from whom he was divorced about 1914; there were no children. In 1895 Washington returned to the United States and after a year as assistant in mineralogy at Yale took possession of the old homestead at Locust, N. J. , transforming the smokehouse into a laboratory. For the next ten years there came from this isolated source a constant stream of notable contributions to petrology. In 1899 he became associated with Joseph P. Iddings, Louis V. Pirsson, and Whitman Cross in formulating a systematic classification of igneous rocks based primarily upon chemical composition. In 1904 he published Manual of the Chemical Analysis of Rocks, which became a standard handbook, used throughout the world. A major and permanent contribution to petrology was his compilation, Chemical Analyses of Igneous Rocks, Published from 1884 to 1913, Inclusive, with a Critical Discussion of the Character and Use of Analyses (1917), a revision and enlargement of an earlier work issued in 1903. The 1917 edition contains 8, 600 analyses, all of them rated by Washington as "superior, " arranged according to the system of classification of which he was co-author. In 1904 he published The Superior Analyses of Igneous Rocks from Roth's Tabellen, 1869 to 1884, also grouped according to the new system. These great collections are known to every petrologist in the world. During the years 1906 to 1912 financial reverses made it necessary for Washington to serve as geological consultant in mining and other enterprises, but in 1912 he accepted a position in the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, D. C. , and in this favorable environment resumed his analytical work with redoubled energy. The list of his publications from the Carnegie Institution, including a number of studies prepared in collaboration with others, embraces one hundred titles. As his interest concentrated upon the distinctive characters of igneous rocks of certain regions, he explored Etna and other Italian volcanoes, the older igneous formations of Sardinia, the Deccan Traps of western and central India, and the Hawaiian Islands. Specimens of igneous rocks from Siberia, Eastern China, Iceland, Greenland, and scattered islets of the Atlantic Ocean, the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea, the Galapagos group, San Felix and San Ambrosio in the South Pacific all yielded information. His "Petrology of the Hawaiian Islands, " an important contribution (published in five parts, 1923-26, in the American Journal of Science), contained sixty-six new complete analyses made by Washington and his assistants. His great store of information concerning the chemical and mineral composition of igneous rocks of the globe, surpassing that of any other student of the subject, led him inevitably to make generalizations regarding the rocky crust of the earth. His study, "The Chemistry of the Earth's Crust" (Journal of the Franklin Institute, December 1920), republished in the Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institution for 1920, was followed by The Composition of the Earth's Crust (1924), prepared in collaboration with F. W. Clarke. Many honors came to him: he was chairman (1926 - 29) of the division of volcanology of the American Geophysical Union, 1926-29, and vice-president (1922 - 23) of the section on volcanology of the International Geophysical Union, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, vice-president (1922) of the Geological Society of America, president (1924) of the Mineralogical Society of America, and a member of the Archaeological Institute of America. In 1918-19 he was a scientific attaché at the American embassy in Rome. His work in Italy brought him a decoration from the Italian government, and he held memberships in numerous foreign scientific bodies.
