A special interest in optics among various seventeenth-century painters living in the Dutch city of Delft has intrigued historians, including art historians, for a long time. Equally, the impressive career of the Delft microscopist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek has been studied by many historians of science. However, it has never been investigated who, at that time, had access to the mathematical and optical knowledge necessary for the impressive achiev…
A Plague to the Learned World”
On Monday 11 March 1771 a remarkable auction of scientifi c instruments began in the Dutch city of The Hague. A large and “nicely crafted cabinet” of “Physical, Mechanical, Hydraulical, Optical, and Mathematical Instruments and other Rarities” came under the hammer. According to the advertisement, these objects “had been collected with great effort and cost” by the late Mr Pieter Gabry, who in his lifetime had been a lawyer and a member of severa…
An eighteenth-century medical–meteorological society in the Netherlands
One of the most fascinating experiences gained by the meteorological observers of the Correspondentie Sociëteit concerned the practical use of new instruments. In the period after 1775 renewed interest in meteorology had stimulated the development of various new meteorological instruments. These instruments seemed at first to be a welcome addition or improvement in quantitative meteorology. How did the Correspondentie Sociëteit cope with these ne…
An eighteenth-century medical–meteorological society in the Netherlands
In many areas the eighteenth century was a starting point for the quantification of science. It was a period in which the mania for collecting led to the first attempts in systematization and classification. This penchant for collecting was not limited to natural history specimens or curiosities. Due in part to the development of mathematical and physical instruments, which became more widely available, scholars were confronted with the informati…
A Bare Outpost of Learned European Culture on the Edge of the Jungles of Java
The transits of Venus in 1761 and 1769 appear to mark the starting point of instrumental science in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). This essay examines the conditions that triggered and constituted instrumental and institutional science on Indonesian soil in the late eighteenth century. In 1765 the Reverend J. M. Mohr, whose wife had received a large inheritance, undertook to build a fully equipped private observatory in Batavia (now Jakar…
