Victorian Literature and the Physics of the Imponderable

Astronomy in India, 1784–1876

Sarah C Alexander The Victorians were obsessed with the empirical but were frequently frustrated by the sizeable gaps in their understanding of the world around them. This study examines how literature and popular culture adopted the newly-emergent language of physics to explain the unknown or ‘imponderable’. The works of key scientists such as John Tyndall, George Henry Lewes and Auguste Comte are discussed and set in the context of a developing modern society. This raises important parallels with contemporary issues surrounding scientific developments such as the Higgs boson or ‘God Particle’.

Joydeep Sen Indian scientific achievements in the early twentieth century are well known, with a number of heralded individuals making globally recognized strides in the field of astrophysics. Covering the period from the foundation of the Asiatick Society in 1784 to the establishment of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science in 1876, Sen explores the relationship between Indian astronomers and the colonial British. He shows that from the midnineteenth century, Indians were not passive receivers of European knowledge, but active participants in modern scientific observational astronomy.

Adolphe Quetelet, Social Physics and the Average Men of Science, 1796–1874

The Age of Scientific Naturalism: Tyndall and His

Kevin Donnelly Adolphe Quetelet was an influential scientist whose controversial work on social physics was praised by American reformers, but condemned by John Stuart Mill. His long and distinguished career brought him into contact with many of the Victorian intellectual elite, including Goethe, Malthus, Babbage, Herschel and Faraday. His theories even inspired Dostoyevsky to write Crime and Punishment. Donnelly presents the first scholarly biography of Quetelet, exploring his contribution to quantitative reasoning and his place in nineteenth-century intellectual history.

Editors: Bernard Lightman and Michael S Reidy Physicist John Tyndall and his contemporaries were at the forefront of developing the cosmology of scientific naturalism during the Victorian period. Contributors focus on the way Tyndall and his correspondents developed their ideas through letters, periodicals and scientific journals and challenge previously held assumptions about who gained authority, and how they attained and defended their position within the scientific community.

The Making of Modern Anthrax, 1875–1920: Uniting

Brewing Science, Technology and Print, 1700–1880

Local, National and Global Histories of

James Sumner How did the brewing of beer become a scientific process? Sumner explores this question by charting the theory and practice of the trade in Britain and Ireland during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Disease

James F Stark From the mid-nineteenth century onwards a number of previously unknown conditions were recorded in both animals and humans. Known by a variety of names, and found in diverse locations, by the end of the century these diseases were united under the banner of ‘anthrax’. Stark offers a fresh perspective on the history of infectious disease. He examines anthrax in terms of local, national and global significance, and constructs a narrative that spans public, professional and geographic domains. ‘a lively account that is accessible and readable by a wide audience ... a valuable and informative source of reference’ Social History of Medicine Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century: 21 272pp: 234x156: 2013 HB 978 1 84893 446 7: £60/$99

From an oral culture derived from home-based skills, brewing industrialized rapidly and developed an extensive trade literature, based increasingly on the authority of chemical experiment. The role of taxation is also examined, and the emergence of brewing as a profession is set within its social and technical context. ‘groundbreaking both in its quality and scope in addressing the history of the application of science in brewing’ Brewery History Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century: 19 320pp: 234x156: 2013 HB 978 1 84893 423 8: £60/$99

The Medical Trade Catalogue in Britain, 1870–1914 Claire L Jones By the late nineteenth century, advances in medical knowledge, technology and pharmaceuticals led to the development of a thriving commercial industry. The medical trade catalogue became one of the most important means of promoting the latest tools and techniques to practitioners. Drawing on over 400 catalogues produced between 1870 and 1914, Jones presents a study of the changing nature of medical professionalism. She examines the use of the catalogue in connecting the previously separate worlds of medicine and commerce and discusses its importance to the study of print history more widely. ‘vastly expands our understandings of the modern medical profession ...

Science and Societies in Frankfurt am Main Ayako Sakurai The nineteenth century saw science move from being the preserve of a small learned elite to a dominant force which influenced society as a whole. Sakurai presents a study of how scientific societies affected the social and political life of a city.

As it did not have a university or a centralized government, Frankfurt am Main is an ideal case study of how scientific associations – funded by private patronage for the good of the local populace – became an important centre for natural history.

The Making of British Anthropology, 1813–1871 Efram Sera-Shriar Victorian anthropology has been derided as an ‘armchair practice’, distinct from the scientific discipline of the twentieth century. Sera-Shriar argues that anthropology at this time went through a process of innovation which built on scientifically grounded observational study. Far from being an evolutionary dead end, nineteenthcentury anthropology laid the foundations for the field-based science of anthropology today. ‘an impressive book, providing a new slant on Victorian anthropology and an interesting case study of scientific observation.’ Social History of Medicine Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century: 18 272pp: 234x156: 2013 HB 978 1 84893 394 1: £60/$99

Free Will and the Human Sciences in Britain, 1870–1910

Vision, Science and Literature, 1870–1920:

Roger Smith Smith takes an in-depth look at the problem of free will through the prism of different disciplines. Physiology, psychology, philosophy, evolutionary theory, ethics, history and sociology all played a part in the debates that took place. His subtly nuanced navigation through these arguments has much to contribute to our understanding of Victorian and Edwardian science and culture, as well as having relevance to current debates on the role of genes in determining behaviour.

Ocular Horizons

Appropriation of Ganot’s Textbooks in

Martin Willis Willis explores the role of vision and the culture of observation in Victorian and modernist ways of seeing. He charts the characterization of vision through four organizing principles – small, large, past and future – to survey Victorian conceptions of what vision was. He then explores how this Victorian vision influenced twentiethcentury ways of seeing, when anxieties over visual ‘truth’ became entwined with modernist rejections of objectivity.

Josep Simon The textbooks written by Adolphe Ganot played a major role in shaping the way physics was taught in schools. Simon’s Franco-British case study looks at the role of two of Ganot’s books. The study is novel for its international comparison of nineteenth-century physics and for its emphasis on the communication of science rather than on the science itself.

The Science of History in Victorian Britain: Making the Past Speak

Ian Hesketh New attitudes towards history in nineteenth-century Britain saw a rejection of romantic, literary techniques in favour of a professionalized, scientific methodology. The development of history as a scientific discipline was undertaken by several key historians of the Victorian period, influenced

by German scientific history and British natural philosophy. Hesketh examines parallels between the professionalization of both history and science at the time and challenges accepted notions of a single scientific approach to history. ‘deserves much credit for making light of little-known and complex debates, and for demonstrating how great a variety of methodological standpoints is hidden behind the ‘Whig’ political label under which most of the historians it studies have usually been grouped.’ British Journal for the History of Science Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century: 12 240pp: 234x156: 2011 HB 978 1 84893 126 8: £60/$99

Natural History Societies and Civic Culture in Victorian Scotland Diarmid A Finnegan The relationship between science and civil society is essential to our understanding of cultural change during the Victorian era. Science was frequently packaged as an appropriate form of civic culture, inculcating virtues necessary for civic progress.

In turn, civic culture was presented as an appropriate context for enabling and supporting scientific progress.

Finnegan looks at the shifting nature of this process during the nineteenth century, using Scotland as the focus for his argument. ‘should be on the shelves of anyone interested in nineteenth-century science in the British Isles.’ ISIS ◊ Winner: Frank Watson Prize in Scottish History, 2011 Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century: 9 272pp: 234x156: 2009 HB 978 1 85196 658 5: £60/$99

Domesticating Electricity: Technology, Uncertainty and Gender, 1880–1914

Graeme Gooday This is an innovative and original study of the history of electricity during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. Gooday shows how technology, authority and gender interacted in pre-World War I Britain.

The rapid take-up of electrical light and domestic appliances on both sides of the Atlantic had a wide-ranging effect on consumer habits and the division of labour within the home. ‘masterfully articulates an aspect of modern everyday culture that has been surprisingly overlooked from an interdisciplinary perspective.’ British Society for Literature and Science Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century: 7 256pp: 234x156: 2008 HB 978 1 85196 975 3: £60/$99

David Philip Miller In the Victorian era, James Watt became an iconic engineer, but in his own time he was also an influential chemist. Miller examines Watt’s illustrious engineering career in light of his parallel interest in chemistry, arguing that Watt’s conception of steam engineering relied upon chemical understandings.

‘The analysis is consistently convincing, the range of sources consulted is impressive, and the prose is direct and simple – yet always interesting.’

L S Jacyna This is the first in-depth study of the English neurologist and polymath Sir Henry Head (1861–1940). Head bridged the gap between science and the arts. He was a published poet who had close links with such figures as Thomas Hardy and Siegfried Sassoon, whilst his research into the nervous system and the relationship between language and the brain broke new ground. Jacyna argues that these advances must be contextualized within wider Modernist debates about perception and language.

Typhoid in Uppingham: Analysis of a Victorian Town and School in Crisis, 1875–7

Nigel Richardson Richardson explores public health strategy and central-local government relations during the mid-nineteenth century, using Uppingham as a case study. This study illuminates wider themes in Victorian public medicine, including the difficulty of diagnosing typhoid before breakthroughs in bacteriological research, the problems faced in implementing reform and the length of time it took London ideas and practice to filter into rural areas. ‘meticulously researched and carefully analysed ... manages to illuminate the wider picture of medicine and public health in rural England in the midVictorian period.’ Victorian Studies

The Transit of Venus Enterprise in Victorian Britain Jessica Ratcliff In the second half of the nineteenth century, the British Government spent a vast amount of money measuring the distance between the earth and the sun using observations of the transit of Venus. Hundreds of expeditions were organized by countries across the globe to collect data on the transits of 1874 and 1882.

Styles of Reasoning in the British Life Sciences: Shared Assumptions, 1820–58

James Elwick Elwick explores how the concept of ‘compound individuality’ brought together life scientists working in pre-Darwinian London. Discussion of a ‘bodily oeconomy’ was widespread.

But by 1860 the most flamboyant discussions of compound individuality had come to an end. Elwick relates the growth and decline of questions about compound individuality to wider nineteenth-century debates about research standards and causality.

Rebekah Higgitt The creation of the specialized and secularized role of the ‘scientist’ coincided with researchers gaining better access to Newton’s archives.

These were used both by those who wished to undermine the traditional, idealized depiction of scientific genius and those who felt obliged to defend Newtonian hagiography. Higgitt shows how debates about Newton’s character stimulated historical scholarship and led to the development of a new expertise in the history of science. ‘meticulously researched ... explores an aspect of nineteenth-century Newtonianism that will reward scholars of Victorian science, historiography, biography, and literature.’ Victorian Studies Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century: 2 304pp: 234x156: 2007 HB 978 1 85196 906 7: £60/$99

The Mysterious Science of the Sea, 1775–1943

The Future of Scientific Practice: ‘Bio-Techno-Logos’

Natascha Adamowsky The depths of the oceans are the last example of terra incognita on earth. Adamowsky presents a study of the sea, arguing that – contrary to popular belief – post-Enlightenment discourse on the sea was still subject to mystery and wonder, and not wholly rationalized by science. She portrays the sea as a theatre of mystery, accessible only with considerable technological effort. It is this unknowable quality which locates the sea at the intersection between science and our imagination.

Editor: Marta Bertolaso Focusing on cell dynamics, molecular medicine and robotics, contributors explore the interplay between biological, technological and theoretical ways of thinking. They argue that the direction of modern science means that these areas can no longer be explored independently but must be integrated if we are to better understand the world. The collection makes a strong contribution to current debates in the philosophy of science and the changing role of scientific practice.

Spaceship Earth in the Environmental Age, 1960–1990 Sabine Höhler ‘Spaceship Earth’ was a key metaphor in the late twentieth-century debate over the world’s resources and the future of humankind. This idea of the earth as a vessel in space came of age in an era shaped by space travel and the Cold War.

NEW SERIES Philosophy, Computing and Information Science

Error and Uncertainty in Scientific Practice

Editors: Ruth Hagengruber and Uwe V Riss Over the last four decades computers and the internet have become an intrinsic part of all our lives, but this speed of development has left related philosophical enquiry behind.

Featuring the work of computer scientists and philosophers, these essays provide an overview of an exciting new area of philosophy that is still taking shape. Topics covered include the ontology of computing, knowledge representation and artificial intelligence.

Editors: Marcel Boumans, Giora Hon and Arthur C Petersen Assessment of error and uncertainty is a vital component of both natural and social science. Empirical research involves dealing with all kinds of errors and uncertainties, yet there is significant variance in how such results are dealt with. Contributors to this volume present case studies of research practices across a wide spectrum of scientific fields, including experimental physics, econometrics, environmental science, climate science, engineering, measurement science and statistics. They compare methodologies and present the ingredients needed for an overarching framework applicable to all.

Experiments in Practice Astrid Schwarz Traditionally experimentation has been understood as an activity performed within the laboratory, but in the twenty-first century this view is being challenged. Schwarz uses ecological and environmental case studies to show how scientific experiments can transcend the laboratory. She explores the historical development of the concept of experimentation and argues that it is time for us to rethink the traditional Baconian view. The study offers insights into the epistemological, metaphysical and ethical implications of extending the concept of the experiment, as well as its effect on the relationship between science and society.

The Biological Foundations of Action Derek M Jones Jones presents an innovative study into the role of action – as distinct from mere movement – in the natural world. He argues that an organism’s behaviour must always have its roots in some form of need, but that action based on need alone is not agency.

‘Primitive’ (non-intentional) action in humans is discussed as a form of agency common to many organisms – an area of overlap neglected in recent scholarship. This intersectional approach makes an important contribution to current philosophical debate on the nature and origins of agency.

Organisms and Personal Identity: Individuation and the Work of David Wiggins

A M Ferner David Wiggins’s contribution to metaphysics, logic and ethics has been widely recognized, but the connections between his work and recent issues in the philosophy of biology have been overlooked. This study demonstrates how Wiggins’s work can contribute to, as well as benefit from, contemporary debate in this field. Biological individuality, anti-reductionism and natural kind determinism are among the topics explored, along with an overview of the history of brain transplantation.

Romantic Biology, 1890–1945 Maurizio Esposito Organismal biology is an established scholarly discipline, yet its origins have been obscured by Darwinian histories of biology. Emerging over the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, organismal biology stemmed not from the work of Darwin and his circle, but was inspired

by Romantic natural philosophers, embryologists, anatomists and physiologists. Esposito presents a historiography of organicist and holistic thought through an examination of the work of leading biologists from Britain (Haldane, Thompson, Russell and Woodger) and America (Ritter, Child, Lillie and Just). He shows how this work relates to earlier Romantic thought and sets it within the wider context of the history and philosophy of the life sciences. ◊ Shortlisted: Marc-Auguste Pictet Prize, 2014 History and Philosophy of Biology: 1 272pp: 234x156: 2013 HB 978 1 84893 420 7: £60/$99

Galileo and the Conflict between Religion and Science Gregory W Dawes Recent literature on the relationship between religion and science has favoured the idea that the two can exist in harmony. This study takes the opposing view, arguing that religion’s claim to a knowledge which transcends scientific reason, means discord is always likely to exist. Using Galileo’s conflict with the church as a starting point, Dawes engages with issues of religious faith, Biblical authority, divine revelation and the evolving nature of both science and theology.

Natural Theology in the Scientific Revolution: God’s Scientists

Katherine Calloway In the seventeenth century new scientific discoveries called into question established Christian theology. In the past it has been claimed that contemporary thinkers contributed to this conflict model by using the discoveries of the natural world to prove the existence of God. Calloway challenges this generalized view through close examination of five key texts from the period, by Henry More, Richard Baxter, John Wilkins, John Ray and Richard Bentley.

The Poetic Enlightenment:

Rhyming Reason: The Poetry of

Poetry and Human Science, 1650–1820

Romantic-Era Psychologists

Editors: Tom Jones and Rowan Boyson The essays in this edited collection look at the role of poetry in the development of Enlightenment ideas.

As scholarly disciplines began to emerge – anthropology, linguistics, psychology – the ancient art of poetry was invoked to create new ways of defining and expanding this philosophy of human science.

Michelle Faubert Faubert focuses on a little-known group of psychologist-poets who grew out of the liberal literary-medical culture of the Scottish Enlightenment.

They used poetry as an accessible form to communicate emerging psychological, cultural and moral ideas – concepts echoed by so many canonical Romantic poets that we now think of them as distinct features of Romantic literature.

The Sublime Invention: Ballooning in Europe, 1783–1820

Michael R Lynn Ballooning, like the Enlightenment, was a Europe-wide movement and a massive cultural phenomenon. Lynn argues that in order to understand the importance of science during the age of the Enlightenment and Atlantic revolutions, it is crucial to explain how and why ballooning entered and stayed in the public consciousness.

‘With a long bibliography of primary and secondary sources, and concise footnotes for each anecdote, The Sublime Invention is the most useful work of reference on the subject in decades.’

The Rockefeller Foundation, Public Health and International Diplomacy, 1920–1945 Josep L Barona In the years after the First World War, living conditions across much of Europe were poor, and public health authorities were forced to focus on social issues such as diet and sanitation. Based on extensive archival research, this study examines the role of the Rockefeller Foundation and the League of Nations in improving public health during the interwar period.

Barona argues that the Foundation applied a model of business efficiency to its ideology of spreading good health: defining problems, identifying opportunities and aiming at achievable goals, creating a revolution in public health practice.

Celestial Wonders in Reformation Germany

The Public Lives of Charlotte and Marie Stopes

British Engineers and Africa, 1875–1914

Ken Kurihara Celestial phenomena were often harnessed for use by clerics in early modern Germany. As Protestantism took hold, there was a desire among many influential theologians to underline the need for doctrinal acceptance. Divine omens or signs of apocalyptic warning were a useful way to encourage obedience and respect for clerical authority. Kurihara examines how and why interest in these events grew in this period, how the clergy exploited these beliefs and the role of sectarianism in Germany at this time.

Stephanie Green Charlotte Carmichael Stopes devoted her life to the study of Shakespeare and to the promotion of women in public life. Though Charlotte is largely forgotten, her daughter Marie is well known as a passionate advocate of sex education and women’s rights.

Green asserts that Marie’s success can only be understood in relation to the achievements of her mother. The careers of the two women are further used to argue that scholarly success in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century was only possible through sustained engagement with the (male) establishment.

Casper Andersen Using a wide range of primary sources that include correspondence, diaries, technical reports, institutional minutes and periodicals, Andersen reconstructs the networks and activities of Britain’s engineers while focusing on London as a centre of imperial expansion.

Examined are the ways in which the profession was influenced and changed by Britain’s involvement in Africa. Treating Britain and the empire as an interconnected zone, Andersen analyses how both ideas and technologies were exchanged between colonial powers and the colonized peripheries.

‘Green performs a valuable service in rescuing Charlotte Carmichael Stopes from the condescension of posterity’ Lesley Hall, Wellcome Library

‘This excellent book should be required reading for scholars and students of the “new” imperial history and for those interested in the confluence of science, technology, and European imperialism.’

Sex, Identity and Hermaphrodites in Iberia, 1500–1800

The Optical Munitions Industry in Great Britain, 1888–1923

Richard Cleminson and Francisco Vázquez García Early modern European thought held that men and women were essentially the same, with social forces creating their differences. Such a view made the existence of hermaphrodites easy to accept. During the seventeenth century, medical and legal arguments began to turn against this ‘one-sex’ model, with hermaphroditism seen as a medieval superstition. This book traces this change in Iberia in comparison to the earlier shift in thought in northern Europe, and with concurrent ideas in Latin America.

Stephen C Sambrook The story of the optical munitions industry embraces not only entrepreneurship and invention, but also aspects of military technology and international politics. Running counter to the general decline of technological industries in postVictorian Britain, optical munitions provides an important, previously overlooked, study into the business of manufacturing.

The Correspondence of John Tyndall

The Botanic Garden by Erasmus Darwin

General Editors: James Elwick, Bernard Lightman and Michael S Reidy John Tyndall (1820–93) was one of the most influential scientists of the nineteenth century. Primarily a physicist, he was also one of a group of powerful intellectuals who defended Darwin against his critics.

His correspondents read like a ‘who’s who’ of international nineteenthcentury science and include: Charles Babbage, J D Hooker, Thomas Henry Huxley, Charles Lyell, Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch and Bertrand Russell.

In the days before journal publishing was fully developed, the exchange of correspondence was a highly efficient way of sharing scientific research.

This series will allow scholars to re-establish Tyndall amongst his contemporaries.

Editors: Adam Komisaruk and Allison Dushane The work of polymath Erasmus Darwin (1731–1802) provides an insight into the intellectual world of late eighteenth-century Britain.

He was a popular poet, practising physician, inventor of speaking machines and mechanical birds, essayist on natural history and proponent of an evolutionary theory that inspired his grandson Charles.

◊ Presents over 7,000 letters sourced from archives and private collections

Erasmus’s epic poem The Botanic Garden (1792) is a synthesis of his many interests, celebrating the wonders of the natural world. This critical edition is the first to address this important work. It comprises the complete text (poems, prose apparatus and illustrations) along with extensive commentary. The poem is situated within contemporary debates on the natural sciences, aesthetics, philosophy, politics and spirituality.

The Great Exhibition: A Documentary History Editor: Geoffrey Cantor The Great Exhibition of 1851 was the outstanding public event of the Victorian era.

Housed in Joseph Paxton’s glass and iron Crystal Palace, it presented a vast array of objects, technologies and works of art from around the world.

The first industrial exhibition of international scope, contemporary commentators attributed much wider significance to it. The Great Exhibition proved highly controversial, and the disputes in contemporary literature allow a significant insight into areas of political, scientific, social and religious contention. ◊ Contains over 140 diverse sources including periodical and newspaper articles, sermons, poems, tracts, cartoons, letters and journal entries, some previously unpublished ◊ Wide range of material showing differing opinions, set in their historical context 4 Volume Set 1776pp: 234x156: 2013 978 1 84893 355 2: £350/$625

Spiritualism, Mesmerism and the Occult, 1800–1920

Sanitary Reform in Victorian Britain

Victorian Science and Literature

Editor: Shane McCorristine This edition provides an important insight into the dark areas between Victorian science, medicine and religion. To the Victorians their quest was to prove the existence of the supernatural through the application of scientific principles. Their emphasis was firmly on proof rather than faith and led to the emergence of psychical research as a discipline.

General Editor: Michelle AllenEmerson Sanitary reform was one of the great debates of the nineteenth century.

Unprecedented urban growth significantly increased the spread of disease, presenting new challenges to public health. This edition makes available for the first time a modern, edited collection of rare nineteenthcentury documents, including material on Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Dublin and London, giving a nationwide perspective on the conditions of British urban life.

General Editors: Gowan Dawson and Bernard Lightman The growing influence of science on Victorian culture can be seen in almost every aspect of life; from industry, urbanization and the spread of imperialism, to religion and the impact of Darwinism. In turn literature helped to shape the new sciences, with scientific discourses relying heavily on literary precedents. Each volume in this two-part collection focuses on an important theme from current scholarship.

The rare source material in this collection is organized thematically and spans the period from initial mesmeric experiments at the beginning of the nineteenth century to the decline of the Society for Psychical Research in the 1920s. ◊ All material is rare and most texts are not available in microfilm or digital collections ◊ Includes a selection of manuscript sources ◊ Contains over 75 texts reflecting the contemporary controversies and debates 5 Volume Set 1950pp: 234x156: 2012 978 1 84893 200 5: £450/$795

Literature and Science, 1660–1834 General Editor: Judith Hawley In the eighteenth century ‘science’ was used to denote ‘knowledge’ of all sorts.

Ways of understanding and representing the world were being reformulated in a period of intellectual ferment and artistic experimentation. In the Royal Society, in the gentleman’s library, in Grub Street and the lady’s closet, the impact of natural philosophy was registered, assimilated, extended and sometimes challenged and rebuffed. Texts are reproduced in facsimile and show the polymathic nature of the literature of science. ‘belong[s] in every graduate library and in every serious undergraduate library’ Wordsworth Circle Part I: 4 Volume Set 1728pp: 234x156: 2003 978 1 85196 737 7: £350/$625 Part II: 4 Volume Set 1944pp: 234x156: 2004 978 1 85196 740 7: £350/$625

The Indian and Pacific Correspondence of Sir Joseph Banks, 1768–1820

The Scientific Correspondence of Sir Joseph Banks, 1765–1820

Editor: Neil Chambers Banks’s correspondence is one of the great primary sources for studying the Pacific region during this important period of exploration and colonial expansion. His Indian and Pacific correspondence has not previously been published in a fully edited thematic series. This critical edition of over 2,000 letters uses material from archives around the world. Together with The Scientific Correspondence of Sir Joseph Banks, 1765–1820, this edition establishes Pickering & Chatto as the field leader in the publication of Joseph Banks’s edited papers and ensures that editorial standards are applied consistently across his published papers.

Editor: Neil Chambers Banks’s correspondence starts when he first went travelling and continues through and far beyond his circumnavigation of the globe with James Cook on HMS Endeavour. His far-reaching collections and scientific observations took in South America, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Labrador and Iceland. Director of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew and trustee of the British Museum, he was elected President of the Royal Society in 1778, a post he held until his death.

‘This book is an essential work of reference for all scholars of eighteenthcentury science and exploration.’

Archives of Natural History ◊ Collects over 2,000 newly transcribed letters ◊ Correspondents include Edmund Burke, Captain James Cook, Benjamin Franklin, John Hunter, Samuel Johnson and Joseph Priestley

This edition is almost entirely comprised of previously unpublished letters gathered together from over 150 repositories worldwide.

‘This magnificent collection of more than 2,200 letters will restore Banks to his rightful position as one of the most influential men of the Enlightenment.’

The Guardian

Eighteenth-Century CoffeeHouse Culture Editor: Markman Ellis Coffee-houses provided a forum for exchanging views and nurturing public opinion across the social spectrum. This is captured in the satires reproduced here. Coffee-house plays also celebrated the role of the coffee-house in circulating gossip, scandal, rumour and subversion. The distinct properties of the coffee-house were recognized in the period by natural philosophers, antiquarians and historians. Their debates on science and historiography are included in this edition. The coffee-room encouraged scientific culture and became a precursor of the laboratory: science became a public matter.

‘Ellis has done a magnificent job of collecting, ordering, introducing and annotating these four volumes’ The Scriblerian 4 Volume Set 1840pp: 234x156: 2006 978 1 85196 829 9: £350/$625

The Narrative of the Beagle Voyage, 1831–1836 Editor: Katharine Anderson HMS Beagle has entered the collective imagination as the ship that carried Charles Darwin to the Galapagos, triggering his later work on the theory of natural selection.

Darwin and FitzRoy’s separate accounts of the voyage were published in the fourvolume Narrative of the Surveying Voyage of His Majesty’s Ships Adventure and Beagle Between the Years 1826 and 1836 (1839). In contrast, this set presents the first critical edition of the remaining texts from 1839: FitzRoy’s account of the second voyage, his detailed appendices and the account of the 1826–30 voyage by Phillip Parker King, captain of HMS Adventure. Together they give an unparalleled example of British scientific exploration. ‘ably edited ... will especially appeal to those interested in maritime history, but historians of science will also find it rewarding.
