The Correspondence of John Tyndall
The 329 letters in this volume represent a period of immense transition in John Tyndall's life. A noticeable spike in his extant correspondence during the early 1850s is linked to his expanding international network, growing reputation as a leading scientific figure in Britain and abroad, and his employment at the Royal Institution. By December 1854, Tyndall had firmly established himself as a significant man of science, complete with an influential position at the center of the British scientific establishment. Tyndall's letters throughout the period covered by this volume provide great insight into how he navigated a complicated course that led him into the upper echelons of the Victorian scientific world. And yet, while Tyndall was no longer as anxious about his scientific future as he was in previous volumes of his correspondence, these letters show a man struggling to come to terms with his newfound status, a struggle that was often reflected in his obsession with maintaining an "inflexible integrity" that guided his actions and deeds.
The Correspondence of John Tyndall, Volume 3
John Tyndall (1820–93) was one of the most influential scientists of the nineteenth century. Primarily a physicist, he was also one of a group of powerful intellectuals who defended Darwin against his critics. His correspondents read like a ‘who’s who’ of international nineteenth-century science and include: Charles Babbage, J D Hooker, Thomas Henry Huxley, Charles Lyell, Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch and Bertrand Russell. In the days before journal publishing was fully developed, the exchange of correspondence was a highly efficient way of sharing scientific research. This series will allow scholars to re-establish Tyndall amongst his contemporaries. Published serially with two volumes per year, this scholarly edition will ultimately present over 7,000 letters. The variety of his exchanges provides insight into Tyndall’s interests and his politics, as well as documenting important events of the time. Each letter is newly transcribed, annotated and presented chronologically. An introduction to each volume is included and a consolidated index will appear in the final volume.
The Correspondence of John Tyndall, Volume 12
The twelfth volume of The Correspondence of John Tyndall contains 326 letters and covers the fifteen months of Tyndall's life from March 1871 through May 1872, a time when he was a central figure in the field and had a substantial reputation in both the UK and the US. It begins just before the publication of Fragments of Science in April and Hours of Exercise in May. It includes a number of small but public disputes about science. Tyndall had a number of visits from friends and dignitaries, and he traveled to Switzerland, Ireland, and the countryside for scrambles. He was dealing with family issues out of Ireland, which were troublesome for him. He was busy administering the Royal Institutio...
