Description

Explore how Enlightenment naturalists constructed systems of natural history through classification practices at the Edinburgh Medical School. This scholarly work examines John Walker's contributions to chemistry and mineralogy from 1750-1800, revealing how institutional settings shaped the methods used by wealthy patrons, professionals, and educators to categorise the natural world. Part of the Science, Technology and Culture series, this book addresses the overlooked importance of systematic classification in eighteenth-century culture and demonstrates how diverse practitioners developed frameworks that defined an era of scientific thinking.
