Description
Joseph Black (1728-1799) was one of the central figures of the Scottish Enlightenment. This publication includes more than eight hundred items of Blacks extensive correspondence, most of them published for the first time. It reveals relationships with businessmen, entrepreneurs and former pupils, as well as with prominent scientific and cultural figures of the day, including Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, James Watt, Benjamin Rush, Josiah Wedgwood and Robert Adam. With an important introduction, extensive annotation and a comprehensive index, these volumes form an indispensable resource for all those interested in medicine, teaching, the growth of scientific ideas, the social fabric, and the rise of industry in the eighteenth century, and in the Enlightenment itself.
