"Cabinets of Experimental Philosophy in Eighteenth-Century Europe is an ambitious
contribution to the growing interest in how science came to engage the attention of
a public outside the academic and professional spheres and how collections of instruments
played a formative role in this development. Collections of physical instruments for
research and demonstration appeared throughout Europe in the eighteenth century and
the coverage of the book is correspondingly broad. While collections in different
cultural and geographical locations had much in common, there were significant local
modifications. The essays in this book illustrate how science, sometimes thought to
be monolithic and universal, can maintain core intellectual characteristics and practical
techniques while adapting to particular sites and circumstances"--Back cover
