Science Periodicals in Nineteenth-Century Britain
Author: Gowan Dawson
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022667651X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
Periodicals played a vital role in the developments in science and medicine that transformed nineteenth-century Britain. Proliferating from a mere handful to many hundreds of titles, they catered to audiences ranging from gentlemanly members of metropolitan societies to working-class participants in local natural history clubs. In addition to disseminating authorized scientific discovery, they fostered a sense of collective identity among their geographically dispersed and often socially disparate readers by facilitating the reciprocal interchange of ideas and information. As such, they offer privileged access into the workings of scientific communities in the period. The essays in this volume set the historical exploration of the scientific and medical periodicals of the era on a new footing, examining their precise function and role in the making of nineteenth-century science and enhancing our vision of the shifting communities and practices of science in the period. This radical rethinking of the scientific journal offers a new approach to the reconfiguration of the sciences in nineteenth-century Britain and sheds instructive light on contemporary debates about the purpose, practices, and price of scientific journals.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of the People of England in the Nineteenth Century, 1832-1898, Vol. 2 It is not necessary here to go into the question whether or not the death penalty ought or ought not to be abolished altogether. It is so abolished in some countries of Europe and in some States Of the American Republic; and the argument is still going on as to the effect Of abolition on the increase or the decrease Of crime. It is perfectly certain that while the death penalty was enacted for all manner Of minor Offences the Offences did not decrease in number. How far the teaching of this evidence may be practically pushed, and whether the death penalty has in any cases the eect of diminishing the general average Of crime, is a question which to this day occupies the serious attention Of philan thropists and law reformers everywhere.
