The Limits of Matter
Reviewed by: The Limits of Matter: Chemistry, Mining & Enlightenment by Hjalmar Fors Ursula Klein (bio) The Limits of Matter: Chemistry, Mining & Enlightenment. By Hjalmar Fors. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2015. Pp. 241. $40. Early modern chemistry had close connections with mining and metal production. Travels to mining districts and visits to mines, foundries, assaying laboratories, and salt works were a highly valued route to acquiri…
A Revolution that never happened
Depersonalizing the Arcanum
The more formal education and training of technical experts was a characteristic feature of industrialization in continual Europe. Apart from the creation of new kinds of teaching institutions, it also involved the social establishment of new attitudes concerning craft secrecy. Until 1787, the arcanists and laboratory workers of the Royal Prussian Porcelain Manufactory kept their expertise a personal (or private) secret. The subsequent depersonal…
Chemical Expertise
Eighteenth-century chemists defined chemistry as both a "science and an art." By "chemical art" they meant not merely experimentation but also parts of certain arts and crafts. This raises the question of how to identify the "chemical parts" of the arts and crafts in eighteenth-century Europe. In this essay I tackle this question with respect to porcelain manufacture. My essay begins with a brief discussion of historiographical problems related t…
Objects of inquiry in classical chemistry
Materials and Expertise in Early Modern Europe
It is often assumed that natural philosophy was the forerunner of early modern natural sciences. But where did these sciences' systematic observation and experimentation get their starts? In Materials and Expertise in Early Modern Europe, the laboratories, workshops, and marketplaces emerge as arenas where hands-on experience united with higher learning. In an age when chemistry, mineralogy, geology, and botany intersected with mining, metallurgy…

Materials and Expertise in Early Modern Europe
The Laboratory Challenge
An examination of the use of the word "laboratory" before the nineteenth century yields two striking results. First, "laboratory" referred almost exclusively to a room or house where chemical operations such as distillation, combustion, and dissolution were performed. Second, a "laboratory" was not exclusively a scientific institution but also an artisanal workplace. Drawing on the historical actors' use of "laboratory," the essay first presents …
Styles of Experimentation and Alchemical Matter Theory in the Scientific Revolution

Shifting ontologies, changing classifications
Working and knowing in the history of STM
Chemical Combination
Experimental history and Herman Boerhaave’s chemistry of plants
Paper tools in experimental cultures
Berzelian Formulas as Paper Tools in Early Nineteenth-Century Chemistry
The Chemical Workshop Tradition and the Experimental Practice
The ArgumentThe overall portrayal of early modern experimentation as a new method of securing assent within a philosophical discourse sketched in many of the recent studies on the historical origin of experimentation is questioned by the analysis of the experimental practice of chemistry at the Paris Academy. Chemical experimentation at the Paris Academy in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century originated in a different tradition than…
Origin of the Concept Chemical Compound
The ArgumentMost historians of science share the conviction that the incorporation of the corpuscular theory into seventeenth-century chemistry was the beginning of modern chemistry. My thesis in this paper is that modern chemisty started with the concept of the chemicl compound, which emerged at the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth century, without any signifivant influence of the corpuscular theory. Rather the historic…
