Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Pasteur, Vol. 2 Pasteur had glimpses of another world beyond the phenomena of fermentation - the world of virus ferments. Two centuries earlier, an English physicist, Robert Boyle, had said that he who could probe to the bottom the nature of ferments and fermentation would probably be more capable than any one of explaining certain morbid phenomena. These words often recurred to the mind of Pasteur, who had, concerning the problem of contagious diseases, those sudden flashes of light wherein genius is revealed. But, ever insisting on experimental proofs, he constrained his exalted imagination so as to follow calmly and patiently the road of experimental method. He could not bear the slightest error, or even hasty interpretation, in the praises addressed to him. One day, during the period of the most ardent polemics, in the midst of the struggle on spontaneous generation, a medical man named Declat, who declared that Pasteur's experiments were "the glory of our century and the salvation of future generations," gave a lecture on "The Infinitesimally Small and their Role in the World." "After the lecture," relates Dr. Declat himself, "M.Pasteur, whom I only knew by name, came to me, and, after the usual compliments, condemned the inductions I had drawn from his experiments. 'The arguments, ' he said, 'by which you support my theories, are most ingenious, but not founded on demonstrated facts; analogy is no proof.'" Pasteur used to speak very modestly of his work. He said, in a speech to some Arbois students, that it was "through assiduous work, with no special gift but that of perseverance joined to an attraction towards all that is great and good," that he had met with success in his researches. He did not add that an ardent kindness of heart was ever urging him forward. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pasteur In the following pages we have endeavoured to present a sketch of the life and work of one of the most remarkable men of science this century has produced. His achievements are so interwoven with the circumstances by which our daily life is surrounded, that it is all but impossible to find anyone who is not directly or indirectly concerned with some part or other of his great life-work. But although the lives of so many have been profoundly affected by his genius and labours, it is only the few who have any acquaintance with the man and the method, to whom and to which these great achievements are due. It is our hope that these pages may raise the veil for many exposing to their view at once a picture of the Great Master, and of the scientific machinery which he knew so well how to set in motion and how to control.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pasteur: The History of a Mind This book is more than a critique of Pasteur. It'is a contribution to the biological history of a swiftly changing time, a very striking period in the development of science. AS such it should be of interest to all biologists, and especially to all teachers and students of biology and of medicine. For them it was written, and translated. In this time of world upheaval and readjustment, when our young men are looking more and more to France for moral and intellectual ideals, it seems peculiarly apropos that the scientific life of one of her greatest sons, to whom the whole world owes an enormous debt of gratitude, Should be set before them clearly and interestingly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Pasteur Pasteur to the sure ground on which we now stand. Starting as a pure chemist, and becoming interested in the science of crystallography, it was not until his life at Lille, a town with important brewing industries, that Pasteur became interested in the biological side of chemical problems. Many years before it had been noted by qagniard-latour that yeast was composed of cells capable of reproducing themselves by a sort of budding, and he made the keen suggestion that it was possibly through some effect of their vegetation that the sugar was transformed. But Liebig's view everywhere prevailed that the ferment was an alterable, organic substance which exercised a catalytic force, transforming the sugar. It was in August, 1857, that Pasteur sent his famous paper on Lactic Acid Fermentation to the Lille Scientific Society; and in December of the same year he presented to the Academy of Sciences a paper on Alcoholic Fermentation, in which he concluded that the deduplication of sugar into alcohol and carbonic acid is cor relevant to a phenomena of life. These studies had the signal effect of diverting the man from the course of his previous more strictly chemical studies. It is interesting to note how slowly these views dislocated the dominant theories of Liebig. More than ten years after their announcement I remember that we had in our chemical lectures the catalytic theory very fully presented.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pasteur and His Work Dr. Emile Roux, Member of the Academy of Science and of the Academy of Medicine, Director of the Pasteur Institute, who was one of Pasteur's dearest disciples and his daily collaborator through all that period of his life which was most fertile in discoveries, has presented this book to both Academies. The following lines are taken from his speech to the Academy of Medicine during the sitting of June 21, 1921: - "M. Descour has been good enough to submit the proofs of his book to me; I have read them with the greatest interest, so attractive is Pasteur's work even to those already familiar with it, and also because M. Descour has described it with a precision, an orderliness, and an emotion worthy of so great a subject. In a volume of less than three hundred pages, the author has been able to relate what nobody should be ignorant of in Pasteur's life, and what all who are engaged in scientific work should know of the achievements of this great man."

This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pasteur's Life and Work in Relation to the Advancement of Medical Science The story of the life of such an one should be of interest to all, and if it dealt with the broader problems of our own science the requirements of this occasion would be fully met by it. Furthermore, there is in the review of the progress of any science or of the development of any great idea or broad principle something far more worthy of respect and attention than the simple personal element or the mo mentary interest of the recital. In the world of ideas the novelty of to-day becomes the commonplace of to-morrow. The ideas which came like revelations or inspirations to our fathers are fed to us in our school books, and appear to us to have existed, like the alphabet or the solar sys tem, from the beginning of the world. As we read the history of a past removed from us, perhaps, by but a few generations, we are amazed that men's actions should have been determined by such faulty notions of political, economical, or religious principles, and that they could have been so blind to what is now so clear. And when we read books that within a few years have revolutionized thought, that have been received and acclaimed almost as if they had been divinely inspired, we ask ourselves in vain in what the novelty and the originality could have consisted, so commonplace, so trite even, have those novel and original ideas become; It therefore becomes a pious duty to those who have so raised the general level of our knowledge or of our principles, that while we en joy the fruits of their labors we should still be mindful of their part in it and should bear their names in constant and grateful remembrance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pasteur: A Study in Greatness An investigation of the specific works accomplished by men ranked great reveals a curious fundamental similarity: They all relate to the heroic. That is to say they are either actual deeds which relieved an individual, a community or a nation from danger, or they commemorate such deeds in a masterly way. The favorite theme of poets has always been arms, and the man. And painters and sculptors have immortalized men whose acts furnish the implied answer to the query of brave Horatius, the keeper of the gate: How can a man die better than by facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers and the altars of his gods? By this analysis, the statesman is but the warrior who, with intellect as weapon, defends his nation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
