Description

Explore how Enlightenment naturalists built systems of natural history through classification practices at the Edinburgh Medical School between 1750 and 1800. This scholarly work examines John Walker's contributions to chemistry and mineralogy within a specific institutional setting, revealing how diverse practitioners-from wealthy patrons to professional educators-shaped the methods and language of eighteenth-century natural science. Part of the Science, Technology and Culture series, this book addresses a significant gap in studies of Enlightenment culture by demonstrating how systematic classification enabled the development of natural history as a rigorous discipline during a transformative period in scientific thought.
