Notes
Successor to Michael Faraday as Scientific Adviser to Trinity House, John Tyndall was a leading figure in 19th century research into sound transmission, diamagnetism, radiant heat and spontaneous generation. All these fields are reflected, along with Tyndall's early career with the Ordnance Survey of Ireland and of England, as a teacher of mathematics, his views on scientific naturalism, as well as his relationship with his family and personal friends. Among the fellow scientists included in this correspondence are: Thomas Henry Huxley, Louis Pasteur, and Charles Darwin.
These letters span the period from 1837 until Tyndall's death in 1893, and is accompanied by an introductory guide and detailed listing of contents (ISBN 1851170383) by Dr. Frank A.J.L. James, Reader in the History of Science at the Royal Institution, London, where the collection is held.
