James Short and John Harrison: Personal Genius and Public Knowledge
Science Museum Group Journal James Short and John Harrison: personal genius and public knowledge Journal ISSN number: 2054-5770 This article was written by Jim Bennett 10-09-2014 Cite as 10.15180; 140209 Research James Short and John Harrison: personal genius and public knowledge Published in Autumn 2014, Issue 02 Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15180/140209 Abstract The instrument maker James Short, whose output was exclusively reflecting telescopes, was a sustained and consistent supporter of the clock and watch maker John Harrison. Short’s specialism placed his work in a tradition that derived from Newton’s Opticks, where the natural philosopher or mathematician might engage in the mechanical process of making mirrors, and a number of prominent astronomers followed this example in the eighteenth century. However, it proved difficult, if not impossible, to capture and communicate in words the manual skills they had acquired. Harrison’s biography has similarities with Short’s but, although he was well received and encouraged in London, unlike Short his mechanical practice did not place him at the centre of the astronomers’ agenda. Harrison became a small part of the growing public interest in experimental demonstration and display, and his timekeepers became objects of exhibition and resort. Lacking formal training, he himself came to be seen as a naive or intuitive mechanic, possessed of an individual and natural ‘genius’ for his work – an idea likely to be favoured by Short and his circle, and appropriate to Short’s intellectual roots in Edinburgh. The problem of capturing and communicating Harrison’s skill became acute once he was a serious candidate for a longitude award and was the burden of the specially appointed ‘Commissioners for the Discovery of Mr Harrison’s Watch’, whose members included Short. -

The Devonshire Colic
The Devonshire Colic H. A. WALDRON | HE Devonshire Colic was a disease of the cider counties of England. It occurred relatively infrequently in Here- ford, Gloucester, Worcester, Somerset, and Cornwall, and acquired endemic proportions only in Devon itself. The first written reference to the Colic is found in Wil- liam Musgrave's treatise on gout (Dissertatio de arthritide symptomatica) published in 1703. Musgrave was well known both as physician and antiquarian. He was born in Nettlecombe in Somerset in 1685 and educated at New College, Oxford, where he graduated Bachelor of Civil Laws in June 1682. He then moved to London and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1684, becoming Secretary of the Society in the following year. In 1685 he moved back to Oxford and was awarded his M.B. that same year. He pro- ceeded M.D. in 1689 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1692. For a few years Musgrave practised in Oxford, then in 1691 he settled in Exeter and practised there with great success until his death thirty years later. In his treatise on the gout Musgrave was concerned, amongst other things, to show how colic could precipitate attacks of gout. Since there were many varieties of colic, he began by describing them, including in. the catalogue one which prevails with the inhabitants of Devonshire, arising from the rough and acid cyder, drunk in too great quantities;... it prevails only among those who have accustomed themselves to diat drink; and they are affected more or less, in pro- portion to die quantities they make use of: so that in diose seasons when we I would like to express my thanks to the many people who helped me during the preparation of this paper. -
