Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Philosophical Club of the Royal Society: Written From Its Minute Books The story of the Royal Society Club has been recently told by a member hardly less eminent for his literary gifts than as a geologist. But though much the senior, this was not the only social club in the Royal Society. A second was founded in 1847, and continued till 1901, when the two were united. Their aims, however, were not identical. The older club had grown up, perhaps without any formal beginning, as a social institution. The younger one, while not by any means repudiating this position, had more definite purposes. It arose from a sense of dissatisfaction, which was felt, rather before the middle of last century, at the condition and management of the Royal Society, by not a few of its more energetic and eminent Fellows. They were convinced that it was not occupying the position or exercising the influence in the country which it ought to be doing, and that this failure was partly due to the way in which its Fellows were elected; in other words, that there was a danger lest it should be said of the Society, as it was formerly of a very attractive College at Oxford, that the chief qualifications for its Fellowship were for the candidate to be 'well-born, well-dressed, and moderately learned [in science].' "The agitation for reform," to quote Sir A. Geikie's words, "became so urgent that, in 1846, the Council appointed a Committee to consider the mode of election of Fellows. The result of the deliberations of the Committee was seen next year in the adoption of a new series of statutes which wrought a revolution in the procedure of the Society in regard to this matter."

Download or read book All Scientists Now written by Marie Hall and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-06-20 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the Royal Society in the nineteenth century is published as a full-length account for the first time in this book. Dr Marie Boas Hall has meticulously explored this fascinating period, using the Royal Society's own records. In 1800 the Royal Society was a leisurely club for scientists, scholars/politicians and patrons of science and learning. More important, it was a centre for improving knowledge of the natural sciences, and adviser to the Government on scientific matters. The first half of the book describes the manner of transition; the struggles and controversies among the most eminent scientists of the day. The second half concerns the emergence of the Royal Society as once again a leader of scientific opinion, as the recognised intermediary between science and Government, and as the chief advisory body to the Government. In the nineteenth century it became, in fact, the national academy of science.
Download or read book William Robert Grove written by Professor Iwan Rhys Morus and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2017-01-05 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Robert Grove is one of the forgotten giants of nineteenth-century science. The improvements in battery technology developed by him helped power the Victorian telegraph; his essay On The Correlation of Physical Forces was widely recognised as a major contribution to natural philosophy; and he was the driving force behind the mid-century reform of the Royal Society. This book follows his scientific career and the culture of Victorian science within which he worked, to explore the ways in which he contributed to forging a distinct Welsh scientific identity in the nineteenth century.

Download or read book The Scientific Journal written by Alex Csiszar and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not since the printing press has a media object been as celebrated for its role in the advancement of knowledge as the scientific journal. From open communication to peer review, the scientific journal has long been central both to the identity of academic scientists and to the public legitimacy of scientific knowledge. But that was not always the case. At the dawn of the nineteenth century, academies and societies dominated elite study of the natural world. Journals were a relatively marginal feature of this world, and sometimes even an object of outright suspicion. The Scientific Journal tells the story of how that changed. Alex Csiszar takes readers deep into nineteenth-century London and Paris, where savants struggled to reshape scientific life in the light of rapidly changing political mores and the growing importance of the press in public life. The scientific journal did not arise as a natural solution to the problem of communicating scientific discoveries. Rather, as Csiszar shows, its dominance was a hard-won compromise born of political exigencies, shifting epistemic values, intellectual property debates, and the demands of commerce. Many of the tensions and problems that plague scholarly publishing today are rooted in these tangled beginnings. As we seek to make sense of our own moment of intense experimentation in publishing platforms, peer review, and information curation, Csiszar argues powerfully that a better understanding of the journal’s past will be crucial to imagining future forms for the expression and organization of knowledge.
