Aesthetics in Science, as Practised by Quakers in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries Geoffrey Cantor Universityof Leeds Quaker Studies 4 (1999): 1-20 Abstract: Drawing on examples from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it will be argued that the sciences - but particularly observational sciences such as astronomy, botany and meteorology - were highly acceptable to Quakers. Moreover, the study of nature was vested with an aesthetic that emphasised God as the Creator of nature and of order and beauty in the natural world. While many wealthy Quakers participated in these sciences, botany also provided employment for Quakers from less affiuent backgrounds. Hence a number Quakers made careers as botanical lecturers, writers, publishers and illustrators. The role of the botanical illustrator is explored to show that the aim was to portray nature- God's Creation- with integrity.

  • Love and Unity'' in Colonial Pennsylvania Politics
    The Quest for Harmony in a Turbulent World: The Principle of "Love and Unity'' in Colonial Pennsylvania Politics ACCORDING TO JAMES LOGAN, mentor of many politicians in ZJk Pennsylvania, "Dissension, Faction, Wars, foreign and intes- JL .m> tine" were created by "Pride, Ambition, and Resentment," qualities antithetical to his—and the Quaker—ideal of "the Beauty of Civil Life."1 For Logan there was an inverse correlation between re- sponsible political behavior and the degree to which human passions controlled politicians. On one level Logan's opinion is perfectly com- patible with that political theory which takes as its starting point the sorry fact that mankind is mostly governed by passions. Since passions are not reliable guides for proper behavior, the responsibility of es- tablishing order falls to the chosen few who manage to keep their passions within proper bounds. Yet, on a different level of argument, it is no coincidence that Logan's causes for "Dissension, Faction, Wars, foreign and intestine" are identical with those other Quakers usually reserved for wars. Moreover, for Quakers these causes were not just deficiencies of mankind but serious deviations from Christian values encompassed in terms like "meekness," "mildness of temper," and "love" as prescribed in the Sermon on the Mountain. Did these terms, however, affect the Quakers' vision of politics and society the same way that the concept of the passions influenced, for example, the political theory of Hobbes and Harrington,2 and if so, in what way did this affect the structure of politics in Pennsylvania? *A shorter version was read to the conference on "The Founding of Pennsylvania, 1682-1800" on October 16, 1982 at Philadelphia.

  • Funding the Centrally Managed Work of Britain Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends
    FUNDING THE CENTRALLY MANAGED WORK OF BRITAIN YEARLY MEETING OF THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS by HAZEL LEONORE JONES A dissertation submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham May 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the proposition that the centrally managed work carried out by Britain Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends has suffered from a decline in the income contributed by Members and Attenders. It argues that declining income is strongly linked to dwindling membership. It considers whether the declining levels of income and membership are expressions of secularisation. It researches the historical growth in the Society’s centrally managed work and the development of an organisational structure to support this. It considers recent past experience when the perceived importance of the work led Quakers to lose the balance between caution and ‘living adventurously’. Soaring expenditure, unmatched by similar increase in contribution income, forced a move to budgetary planning, based on a balanced budget and maintenance of a prudent level of reserves.

  • Stories from Discovering the Underground Railroad, Abolitionism and African American Life
    Stories From Discovering the Underground Railroad, Abolitionism, and African American Life in Seneca County, 1820-1880 Introduction The various stories I have compiled here are based upon the information found in the project report Discovering the Underground Railroad, Abolitionism, and African American Life in Seneca County, New York, 1820-1880 written by Dr. Judith Wellman of Historical New York Research Associates. This is the report of the research project funded in 2005-06 by a Preserve New York Grant from the Preservation League of New York State and the New York State Council on the Arts. The grant made it possible to do an in-depth sites survey of places in Seneca County that were part of the Underground Railroad and/or abolitionist activity and/or homes of African Americans. This report was completed through the Seneca County Historian’s Office. The purpose of these compiled stories is to help the reader grasp more fully the wonderful insights that can be gleaned from making use of the information found in this report. In my stories I have tried to take the information found in the project report about a particular place or a particular person and put it into a narrative format and add some discussion of the historical significance about this person or place. While each story can “stand alone,” when put together they help the reader to understand much of what was happening in Seneca County during these years. I sincerely thank Dr. Wellman for her wonderful wording that I have so extensively used and to which I have added some discussion of historical significance.

    “THERE IS DEATH IN THE POT”: WOMEN, CONSUMPTION, AND FREE PRODUCE IN THE TRANSATLANTIC WORLD, 1791-1848 by JULIE LYNN HOLCOMB Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2010 Copyright © by Julie Holcomb 2010 All Rights Reserved To Stan ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Researching and writing this dissertation has been a long journey. Fortunately, it has not been a lonely one. I am pleased to have an opportunity to recognize the many kindnesses and the valuable support received along the way. The University of Texas at Arlington provided a great environment in which to develop as a scholar. I have benefitted from the patience, generosity, and scholarship of my committee. My chair Sam W. Haynes modeled the ideal balance of academic rigor and nurturing support. I profited as well from the advice of Stephanie Cole and Christopher Morris. Words cannot begin to convey how much I appreciate my committee’s encouragement and advice throughout this process. I have also received valuable assistance from James Cotton and Robin Deeslie in the history department and Diana Hines and Rachel Robbins in the library’s interlibrary loan department. I have also had the opportunity to study at Pacific University and the University of Texas at Austin. Pacific is an incredible place to study. The small classes and equally small departments provide unparalleled opportunities for academic and personal development. I am particularly grateful to Lawrence Lipin and Alex Toth for their mentorship during my time at Pacific.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

  • The Professional Scientists of London and Their Societies
    “A History of Platinum and its Allied Metals”, by Donald McDonald and Leslie B. Hunt 8 The Professional Scientists of London and their Societies “Platinum is a most valuable metal; as it is not oxidisable nor fusible under common circumstances, and only with difficulty com­ binable with sulphur and not acted upon by common acids, it is admirably adapted for the uses of the philosophical chemist." HUMPHRY DAVY The thirty year period from 1790 until 1820 was a vital and productive phase in the development of both pure and applied science. Lavoisier’s chemical revolu­ tion had cleared the minds of chemists, his definition of an element had opened the way to the discovery of many more, and methods of analysis, if still rather simple, had become established. The chemical industry began to expand while the scientific study of mineralogy was aiding in the development of mining and metallurgy. At the same time there existed a body of scientists, particularly in London, who were interesting themselves in technology and who were able to secure an income for themselves from their professional work by lecturing, by editing and publishing, by the manufacture of chemicals or by the making of scientific instruments. These men tended to associate into groups or small societies for joint experimentation and discussion. They were particularly interested in the metals recently discovered including titanium, molybdenum, tungsten and niobium, and although it would be a considerable overstatement to say that they were particularly concerned with platinum they none the less took an active interest in its properties and its fabrication and from their activities stemmed several important advances.
