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: The untold story of two sisters whose discoveries sped the growth of American science in the nineteenth century, combining "meticulous research and sensitive storytelling" (Janice P. Nimura, New York Times-bestselling author of The Doctors Blackwell) In Mischievous Creatures, historian Catherine McNeur uncovers the lives and work of Margaretta Hare Morris and Elizabeth Carrington Morris, sisters and scientists in early America. Margaretta, an entomologist, was famous among her peers and the public for her research on seventeen-year cicadas and other troublesome insects. Elizabeth, a botanist, was a prolific illustrator and a trusted supplier of specimens to the country’s leading experts. Together, their discoveries helped fuel the growth and professionalization of science in antebellum America. But these very developments confined women in science to underpaid and underappreciated roles for generations to follow, erasing the Morris sisters’ contributions along the way. Mischievous Creatures is an indelible portrait of two unsung pioneers, one that places women firmly at the center of the birth of American science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Village Enlightenment in America focuses on three nineteenth-century spiritual activists who epitomized the marriage of science and religion fostered in antebellum, pre-Darwinian America by the American Enlightenment. A theologian, writer, and apologist for the nascent Mormon movement, as well as an amateur scientist, Orson Pratt wrote Key to the Universe, or a New Theory of Its Mechanism, to establish a scientific base for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Robert Hare, an inventor and ardent convert to spiritualism, used his scientific expertise to lend credence to the spiritualist movement. Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, generally considered the initiator of the American mind-cure movement, developed an overtly religious concept of science and used it to justify his system of theology. Pratt, Hare, and Quimby all employed a potent combination of popular science and Baconianism to legitimate their new religious ideas. Using the same terms--matter, ether, magnetic force--to account for the behavior of particles, planetary rotation, and the influence of the Holy Ghost, these agents of the Enlightenment constructed complex systems intended to demonstrate a fundamental harmony between the physical and the metaphysical. Through the lives and work of these three influential men, The Village Enlightenment in America opens a window to a time when science and religion, instead of seeming fundamentally at odds with each other, appeared entirely reconcilable.
