Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Robert Hare, an American Chemist (1781-1858) This volume contains the life story of one of the greatest scientists of our country. His chief delight was in chemical pursuits, although his attachment to physics was also great. He was a true pioneer in these divisions of science. His experimental contributions were of a very high order in their day. They commanded respect and admiration then and continue to do so in the present because they represent the beginnings of much that has come to be of prime importance. When, in the future, the contributions of America's earliest representatives in the many fields of science are scanned more closely, an abundance of noteworthy material will be discovered and our country, though young, will be found to have given her share to the sum total of human knowledge. The purpose of the writer has been to assemble the labors of Robert Hare in such a form that students of chemistry may learn to know him better, and realize the exalted place to which he is entitled in the history of chemistry in this country. He was a chemical philosopher with keen and originative powers. It is remarkable that he should have achieved so much when his preparation was so meagre. He blazed the way by his experimental work and in his theoretical observations in chemical constitution. His "Compendium of Chemistry," now antiquated, was a store-house of original observations. He had no model. He advanced independently and, as his knowledge increased, developed new lines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In the last number of the Journal, I devoted a page to the exposure of his error, in speaking of my essay, as intended to prove the materiality of heat, although described as remarks made in opposition to Davy's hypothesis. In the article now under consideration, he repeats this error in the following words. In the year 1822, Dr. Hare published an essay aiming to prove that caloric, or the cause of heat, is a material fluid. I never wrote an essay of which this is a correct description. It did not appear to me expedient to recapitulate all the various well known arguments in favor of a material cause of calorific repulsion. To explain the phenomena of heat, but two hypotheses had been suggested, one ascribing them to caloric, the other to motion. The object of my essay was mainly to shew, that motion could not be the cause of heat, and I only incidentally introduced some direct arguments of a material cause. I shall proceed to give other instances of the precipitancy of Professor Olmsted, in adopting the unfavorable impressions of my essay with which he occupies the pages of the American Journal of Science. The existence of repulsion and attraction as properties of matter, being referred to, as self-evident, and their co-existence as properties of the same particles, shewn to be inconceivable, I assumed that there must be a matter in which repulsion resides, as well as a matter in which attraction resides. This induces Professor Olmsted to make the following inquiry: Does Dr. Hare maintain that the attraction which bodies exert, resides in a kind of matter extrinsic to the bodies themselves? It would be impossible, I think, to give a better answer to this query than is afforded by the following words of...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the American Revolution and the Civil War, the dialogue of religious skepticism and faith shaped struggles over the place of religion in politics. It produced different visions of knowledge and education in an "enlightened" society. It fueled social reform in an era of economic transformation, territorial expansion, and social change. Ultimately, as Christopher Grasso argues in this definitive work, it molded the making and eventual unmaking of American nationalism. Religious skepticism has been rendered nearly invisible in American religious history, which often stresses the evangelicalism of the era or the "secularization" said to be happening behind people's backs, or assumes that skepticism was for intellectuals and ordinary people who stayed away from church were merely indifferent. Certainly the efforts of vocal "infidels" or "freethinkers" were dwarfed by the legions conducting religious revivals, creating missions and moral reform societies, distributing Bibles and Christian tracts, and building churches across the land. Even if few Americans publicly challenged Christian truth claims, many more quietly doubted, and religious skepticism touched--and in some cases transformed--many individual lives. Commentators considered religious doubt to be a persistent problem, because they believed that skeptical challenges to the grounds of faith--the Bible, the church, and personal experience--threatened the foundations of American society. Skepticism and American Faith examines the ways that Americans--ministers, merchants, and mystics; physicians, schoolteachers, and feminists; self-help writers, slaveholders, shoemakers, and soldiers--wrestled with faith and doubt as they lived their daily lives and tried to make sense of their world.
