His earliest known extended series of experiments were in chemistry and heat, specifically on arsenic and on specific and latent heats. This was around 1764,2 twelve years after he had left the university and four years after he had been elected to the Royal Society. His first publication came two years later, on the chemistry of air, when he was thirty-five; this was rather late for a scientific researcher to begin, but in this as in other ways he was not typical. Never in a hurry to bring his work before the world, he was concerned to perfect it before communicating it.

Baldwin, Gerd Graßhoff, Jürgen Renn, Dagmar Schäfer, Robert Schlögl, Bernard F. Schutz Edition Open Access Development Team Lindy Divarci, Georg Pflanz, Klaus Thoden, Dirk Wintergrün. The Edition Open Access (EOA) platform was founded to bring together publi- cation initiatives seeking to disseminate the results of scholarly work in a format that combines traditional publications with the digital medium. It currently hosts the open-access publications of the “Max Planck Research Library for the History and Development of Knowledge” (MPRL) and “Edition Open Sources” (EOS). EOA is open to host other open access initiatives similar in conception and spirit, in accordance with the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the sciences and humanities, which was launched by the Max Planck Society in 2003. By combining the advantages of traditional publications and the digital medium, the platform offers a new way of publishing research and of studying historical topics or current issues in relation to primary materials that are otherwise not easily available. The volumes are available both as printed books and as online open access publications. They are directed at scholars and students of various disciplines, and at a broader public interested in how science shapes our world.

    PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. (B.) FOR THE YEAR MDCCCLXXXVII. VOL. 178. LONDON: PRINTED BY HARRISON AND SONS, ST. MARTIN’S LANE, W C., printers in Ordinary to Her Majesty. MDCCCLXXXVIII. ADVERTISEMENT. The Committee appointed by the Royal Society to direct the publication of the Philosophical Transactions take this opportunity to acquaint the public that it fully appears, as well from the Council-books and Journals of the Society as from repeated declarations which have been made in several former , that the printing of them was always, from time to time, the single act of the respective Secretaries till the Forty-seventh Volume; the Society, as a Body, never interesting themselves any further in their publication than by occasionally recommending the revival of them to some of their Secretaries, when, from the particular circumstances of their affairs, the Transactions had happened for any length of time to be intermitted. And this seems principally to have been done with a view to satisfy the public that their usual meetings were then continued, for the improvement of knowledge and benefit of mankind : the great ends of their first institution by the Boyal Charters, and which they have ever since steadily pursued. But the Society being of late years greatly enlarged, and their communications more numerous, it was thought advisable that a Committee of their members should be appointed to reconsider the papers read before them, and select out of them such as. they should judge most proper for publication in the future Transactions; which was accordingly done upon the 26th of March, 1752.

  • Sir John Pringle and His Circle, by Dorothea Waley Singer
    Sir John Pringle and his Circle 127 SII~ JOHN PI~INGLE AND HIS CII~CLE.--PART I. LIFE. By DOROTI~EA WALEY SINGEB. CONTENWS. Page § 1. Introduction ................................................ 127 §2. Early Life .................................................... 128 § 3. London ..................................................... 133 § 4. Closing Years : the Controversy concerning Lightning Conductors .. 163 §1. Introduction. SIR JoH~ P~I~GL~. was a typical figure of the eighteenth century, though he foreshadows activities of the following centuries, both in his sense of public responsibility for the living and working conditions of the labouring population and in his appreciation of the importance of public measures for the prevention rather than the cure of disease. His view of medicine might almost be epitomized as cleanliness, to be achieved by purification of the air without and of the bloodstream within the patient. The first he would effect by ventilation, the second by correct diet. For the former he would utilize the skill of the engineer. For the latter he recognized the need of laboratory experiments, to ascertain the " septic " and " antiseptic " qualities inherent in various substances. His own experiments to this end were highly rated by his Annals of Science 1949.6:127-180. contemporaries. They were carried out on substances organic and inorganic. Pringle was not an innovutor, but his alert and benevolent mind was concerned to apply the creative activity of his contemporaries. In view of his preoccupation with " putrescent " diseases, it is re- markable that Pringle never associates them with living contagion 1, though references to this conception are scattered through the literature of his own and preceding ages. The analogy between putrefaction and fermentation, their association with contagious disease and the suggestion that all alike are caused by minute living organisms, had been familiar in medical writings since the sixteenth century 2.
