First published in 1998. The Romantic Era was a time when society,
religion and other beliefs, and science were all in flux. The idea
that the universe was a great clock, and that men were little
clocks, all built by a divine watchmaker, was giving way to a more
dynamic and pantheistic way of thinking. A new language was
invented for chemistry, replacing metaphor with algebra; and
scientific illustration came to play the role of a visual language,
deeply involved with theory. A scientific community came gradually
into being as the 19th century wore on. The papers which compose
this book have appeared in a wide range of books and journals;
together with the new introduction they illuminate science and its
context in the Romantic Era and follow its effects in the 19th
century.
