| adam_text | The Common Purposes of Life
For more than two hundred years the Royal
Institution has been at the centre of scientific
research and has also provided a cultural location for
science in Britain. Within its walls some of the
major scientific figures of the last two centuries
—
such as Humphry Davy, Michael Faraday, John
Tyndall, James Dcwar, Lord Rayleigh, William
Henry Bragg, Henry Dale, Eric Rideal, William
Lawrence Bragg and George Porter
-
carried out
much erf* their research. Their discoveries include
•odium·
che
miners9 lamp» the electric dynamo,
transformer and generator, the thermos9 flask, x-ray
crystallography and much else besides, all of which
brought about major changes in the way we live.
The success of the Royal Institution in research and
in locating science within general culture led to it
being used as a model for other institutions, most
notably by the founders of the Smithsonian
Institution in Washington.
Much has been written about the scientific work in
the Royal Institution, but comparatively little
attention has been devoted to the cultural settings
which allowed the Royal Institution to become such
a major site for the creation of scientific knowledge.
This book seeks to rectify this gap by examining
various aspects of its history through both thematic
and chronological chapters.
