The Earth Sciences in the Enlightenment
Nicolas Desmarest and Geology in the Eighteenth Century
A Peculiarly Personal Encyclopedia
Nicolas Desmarest's Géographie-Physique , his contribution to the Encyclopédie Méthodique , is a surprisingly useful resource for his biographer. The four volumes he completed during his declining years offer insights into his activities over a long period, such as the extent of his travels, and the sorts of phenomena he selected for observation. Leaving aside those articles that he plagiarized, the many entries he wrote testify to the depth of h…

Italy and Europe
Deservedly famous during his lifetime, Antonio Vallisneri * has never been wholly forgotten by historians of the biological and geological sciences. Jacques Roger, for example, has examined his views on generation, Francesco Rodolico his geological writings, and Massimo Baldini and others his philosophical and methodological pronouncements. In 1961 the University of Padua celebrated the tercentenary of Vallisneri’s birth, inviting distinguished l…

Borrowed Words
Every science has its technical vocabulary, consisting in part of terms coined for explicit purposes and in part of words borrowed from ordinary discourse and used with greater or lesser degrees of precision. Words of the latter sort pose curious problems, some of them familiar to those historians of science concerned with, for example, what Galileo meant by forza and Newton by attraction . Indeed, analogous problems face any historian seeking to…

Lavoisier's Geologic Activities, 1763-1792
Historians of science have long known that Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier was a geologist of distinction. Briefly summarized, the highlights of his geologic career are: a long field trip through the Vosges with naturalist Jean-Étienne Guettard in 1767, collaboration with Guettard in the preparation of a geologic atlas of France, and the completion, in 1789, of a justly famous memoir on sedimentary strata. These familiar facts, however, have been used …
