[1] Henry Marshall Leicester (December 22, 1906, San Francisco – April 29, 1991, Menlo Park) was an American biochemist and historian of chemistry.

Leicester grew up in San Francisco and graduated from high school there at the age of 16. At Stanford University, he studied chemistry and graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1927, a master's degree in 1928, and a doctorate in biochemistry in 1930. His doctoral dissertation is entitled Aromatic selenonium salts and the relative electronegativities of organic radicals[3]

went to school in San Francisco and, after graduating from high school at the age of 16, studied chemistry at Stanford University, receiving a bachelor's degree in 1927, a master's degree in 1928 and a doctorate in organic chemistry in 1930. During the Great Depression he traveled extensively in Europe (where he conducted research in Zurich and London), and was temporarily an instructor at Oberlin College, Stanford University, the Carnegie Institution in Washington D.C. and Ohio State University. At the latter he became interested in the history of Russian science (especially the history of chemistry), corresponded with Russian scientists (but never traveled there) and built up an extensive library on the subject, which he later donated to Stanford University. From 1951 until his retirement in 1971 he was a professor of biochemistry at the Dental School of the University of the Pacific. From the 1940s he was active in the History Section of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and headed it from 1947 to 1951.He published on Russian chemists in the Journal of Chemical Education and in Great Chemists (Interscience 1961) by Eduard Farber and later biographies of chemists for the Dictionary of Scientific Biography and various encyclopedias such as the Encyclopedia Britannica. He published several books on the history of chemistry (including a collection of sources) and a standard work on the biochemistry of teeth, for which he was considered an expert. He also translated classic Russian works on chemistry such as those by Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov, for whom he was considered an expert in the USA.In the 1950s and 1960s he was an active advocate of fluoridation of drinking water as a dental prophylaxis against caries and gave many lectures on the subject in California.

Leicester ging in San Francisco zur Schule und studierte, nachdem er schon mit 16 Jahren seinen High-School-Abschluss gemacht hatte, an der Stanford University Chemie mit dem Bachelor-Abschluss 1927, dem Master-Abschluss 1928 und der Promotion in organischer Chemie 1930. In der Zeit der Großen Depression reiste er viel nach Europa (wo er in Zürich und London forschte), war zeitweise Instructor am Oberlin College, an der Stanford University, der Carnegie Institution in Washington D.C. und der Ohio State University. An letzterer begann er sich für russische Wissenschaftsgeschichte zu interessieren (speziell Chemiegeschichte), korrespondierte mit russischen Wissenschaftlern (reiste aber nie dorthin) und baute eine umfangreiche Bibliothek dazu auf, die er später der Stanford University stiftete. 1951 bis zur Emeritierung 1971 war er Professor für Biochemie an der Dental School der University of the Pacific. Seit den 1940er Jahren war er aktiv in der History Section der American Chemical Society (ACS) und stand dieser 1947 bis 1951 vor.

Er veröffentlichte zu russischen Chemikern im Journal of Chemical Education und in Great Chemists (Interscience 1961) von Eduard Farber und später Biographien von Chemikern für den Dictionary of Scientific Biography und verschiedene Enzyklopädien wie die Encyclopedia Britannica. Er veröffentlichte mehrere Bücher über Chemiegeschichte (darunter eine Quellensammlung) und ein Standardwerk zur Biochemie von Zähnen, wofür er als Experte galt. Er übersetzte auch klassische russische Arbeiten zur Chemie wie die von Michail Wassiljewitsch Lomonossow, für den er in den USA als Experte galt.

In den 1950er und 1960er Jahren war er aktiver Befürworter der Fluorisierung des Trinkwassers zur Zahnprophylaxe gegen Karies und hielt darüber viele Vorträge in Kalifornien.

1962 erhielt er den Dexter Award. Er war einer der Gründer und Herausgeber von Chymia (Annual Studies in the History of Chemistry).

In 1941 Henry Leicester married Leonore Azevedo (1914–1974). They had a son and two daughters. Their son, Henry Marshal Leicester Jr. (b. 1942), became a professor of English literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz and wrote The Disenchanted Self: Representing the Subject in the Canterbury Tales (1990, University of California Press).[4][5]
