Abstract:
This paper explores the origins of the Calcutta journal of natural history (1841–1848) and the search from the 1830s for a permanent curator for the collections of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. Edward Blyth (1810–1873) was appointed, even though John M'Clelland (or McClelland) (1805–1883), who founded the Calcutta journal of natural history, had acted as part-time curator of the collections for two years before Blyth's arrival in Calcutta. An analysis of the Society and the journal allows reconsideration of the significance of natural history in India in the mid-nineteenth century.

Abstract:
The article prepared for the anniversary of the Neurological Bulletin journal, describes the history of the creation and the first years of work of the Society of Neurologists and Psychiatrists and its press edition the Neurological Bulletin journal. The purpose of the Society was to unite the scientific forces of the Imperial Kazan University for the continuation of complex studies of the nervous system by clinicians together with representatives of the natural sciences (histology, anatomy, physiology), as well as psychologists and lawyers. This determined the theme of the new journal, which published articles on a wide range of issues.

Abstract:
AbstractThough Britain was the predominant European power in India from the middle of the eighteenth century, British scholars at first lagged behind their European contemporaries in the study of Indian antiquities. There were, quite simply, no British counterparts to such celebrated figures as Abraham Hyacinthe Anquetil-Duperron and Carsten Niebuhr. This paper investigates the efforts made by the Society of Antiquaries of London to remedy this situation, as demonstrated in particular by the publication of two early eighteenth-century accounts of the cave temples at Kanheri and Elephanta near Bombay in volume 7 (1785) of the Society's journal, Archaeologia. It argues that the impetus for the Society's efforts was provided by its Director, Richard Gough, who had family reasons for an interest in India and the East, but that the Society's role was largely superseded when Sir William Jones founded the Asiatick Society of Bengal.

Abstract:
Bombay did not play the kind of administrative nodal role that first Madras and later Calcutta did in terms of overarching governance in the Indian subcontinent, occupying instead a pivotal position for the region’s commerce and industry. Nonetheless, the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Bombay were a formative age for education and research in science, as in the other Presidencies. A colonial government, a large native population enrolled in the new European-style educational system, and the rise of several institutions of instruction and learning, fostered an environment of scientific curiosity. The Asiatic Society of Bombay (1804), which was initially the hub of research in all disciplines, became increasingly antiquarian and ethnographic through the course of the nineteenth century. The Victoria and Albert Museum (conceived in 1862 and built by 1871 and opened to the public in 1872), was established to carry out research on the industrial arts of the region, taking for its original collections fine and decorative arts that highlight practices and crafts of various communities in the Bombay Presidency. The University of Bombay (1857) was primarily tasked with teaching, and it was left to other establishments to conduct research. Key institutions in this regard included the Bombay Natural History Society (1883) given to local studies of plants and animals, and the Haffkine Institute (1899), which examined the role of plague that had been a dominant feature of the social cityscape from 1896. The Royal Institute of Science (1920) marked a point of departure, as it was conceived as a teaching institution but its lavish funding demanded a research agenda, especially at the post-graduate level. The Prince of Wales Museum (1922) would prove to be seminal in matters of collection and display of objects for the purpose of research. All of these institutions would shape the intellectual debates in the city concerning higher education. Typically founded by European colonial officials, they would increasingly be administered and staffed by Indians.

Abstract:
Abstract At the founding of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1831, William Whewell suggested that membership be restricted to those “who have published written papers in the memoirs of any learned society” (quoted in Stimson 1968, p. 215). He wanted to exclude as members those who were not, as one critic of the Royal Society put it, “labourers in the vineyard” of science. This linking of journal publication with the scientific profession led to an influx of individual articles primarily aimed at subject-matter experts. It also spawned the first specialty journals in natural history and physical science from Germany, France, and England, including Archiv fur Mikroskopische Anatomic (Archive for Microscopic Anatomy), Journal de Pharmacy et de Chimie (Journal of Pharmacy and Chemistry), and Transactions of the Entomological Society of London. In addition, during the 19th century, the number of scientific journals rose, not just steadily, but very steeply (Houghton 1975, p. 101). In de Solla Price’s (1986) well-known plot of total number of scientific journals (p. 8), there are fewer than 10 journals by 1700, about 100 by 1800, and 10,000 by 1900.’1

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter surveys the ways in which practitioners of the sciences engaged with the risks and opportunities presented by printing in early modern England. It argues that to achieve success they had to manage print actively, in a craft environment that was not necessarily sympathetic to their efforts. The chapter uses examples from astrology, medicine, and the mathematical sciences to make this point, showing how in each domain the crafts of the book intersected in complex and ambiguous ways with those of natural knowledge. It then examines how Baconianism came into being via the contested editing of Francis Bacon’s works. Finally, it turns to the Royal Society, the primary institution of Baconian science, to demonstrate the importance of the practices of reading, writing, and publishing that emerged there. These were instantiated above all in the society’s journal, the Philosophical Transactions, which inaugurated a genre still central to science today.

Abstract:
The journal of the Royal Society of 1671 carried a review of a paper by a Dr Caroli de la Font entitled ‘The nature and causes of the plague’ in which he put forward the theory that it was due to ‘arsenic exhalations’ that were polluting the air. Of course he was wrong, but the idea that such emissions could pollute the atmosphere was not wrong and 150 years later, in 1821, they may well have contributed to the death of one of the great figures of history: Napoleon. Arsenic had, and still has, its uses as we saw in the previous chapter but it is an insidious element and is much more mobile than earlier generations appreciated. When it diffuses into the air we breathe, and gets into the water we drink it causes problems and in this chapter we will look at two ways that it led to – and is still leading to – mass poisonings. The historical story concerns its leakage from wallpaper, the modern story concerns its leakage from underground rocks. The first of these leakages contaminated the air of millions of homes in the Victorian age, the second contaminates the drinking water of millions of people in Bangladesh and neighbouring states of India today. The first of these tragedies was eventually controlled, the second one remains to be dealt with. In days gone by the palette of a painter might well have held three arsenic compounds because they could provide brilliant shades of yellow, red, and especially green. The first two of these came from the natural pigments yellow orpiment and red realgar, both of which are arsenic sulphides; orpiment has the formula As2S3, and realgar has the formula As4S4. Orpiment got its name from the Latin words auri (gold) and pigmentum (paint) and was popular in the ancient world, especially in the Middle East. Its association with gold is probably what made it attractive to alchemists. Orpiment only became widely used in Europe when synthetic orpiment was manufactured and then it was known as royal yellow or king’s yellow and was the preferred source of yellow until it was displaced by chrome yellow (lead chromate) and cadmium yellow (cadmium sulphide).
