BABBAGE, CHARLES, 1792-1871

Mathematician Charles Babbage was born near Teignmouth in Devonshire and educated at Cambridge University (B.A. 1814, M.S. 1817). While still a student, Babbage and his friends Herschel and Peacock produced translations and expansions of continental works on calculus which served to spark a mathematical revival in England. As early as 1812, he was developing the idea of calculating mathematical tables using machinery, an enterprise that occupied most of his life. By 1822 he had constructed several prototypes, and received a government grant to pursue his research. Financial and personal disputes brought this work to a halt in 1828, but during the hiatus which followed, Babbage designed an even more sophisticated, flexible machine, 'programmed' by punch cards, with six orders of differences, and printing capacity. Though his concept was acknowledged to be brilliant and workable, Babbage never raised enough money to build the machine.

Babbage was active in the British scientific community, being a member of the Royal Society (1816) and instrumental in organizing

the Astronomical Society, the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Statistical Society of London.

BIBLIOTHECA OSLERIANA, ca 700 B.C.-20th CENTURY A.D.

The Bibliotheca Osleriana is Sir William Osler's collection of books and manuscripts which illustrate the history of science and

medicine. Manuscript materials constitute a relatively small portion of this vast collection. Their scope in terms of dates, geographical areas and subjects are inevitably broad, reflecting the collector's intent to cover the whole of the history of medicine (forming the largest section), and the history of science (being only scantily represented). In addition, the collection encompasses to a substantial degree such topics as astrology, alchemy, metaphysics, religious mysticism, prophecy, exorcism, witchcraft, and literary avocations and hobbies of physicians, in keeping with Sir William Osler's personal interests that extended well beyond the strictly scientific sphere. Sir William Osler bequeathed his collection to McGill University, where it was received from Oxford in 1929.

OSLER LIBRARY

Originals, Transcripts and Translations, ca 700 B.C.- 20th century A.D., ca 80 m (?)

The original arrangement of the collection, as intended by Sir William Osler, is outlined in the Bibliotheca Osleriana printed catalogue. It consists of eight sections. Manuscripts are integrated with books in four sections, as well as having a section of their own. The manuscripts are now kept separately but retain their original numerical sequence, thus preserving the original arrangement. A few manuscripts from this collection have been transferred elsewhere. The following categories constitute the scheme of arrangement:

1. Bibliotheca Prima

This section contains the works of the most outstanding contributors to the evolution of medicine and general science. There are a few manuscripts, ca 700 B.C.-20th century A.D.

2. Bibliotheca Secunda

This section encompasses the works of people who have made a notable contribution to medicine or science, or whose works have some special interest, "but scarcely up to the mark of those in Prima". The manuscript material consists of diplomas, certificates and letters from universities and medical societies conferring degrees or membership upon Sir William Osler, 1872-1920.

3. Bibliotheca Litteraria

This section is devoted to literary works by medical men and books dealing in general with doctors and the profession, as well as medical works by laymen. There is a large collection of material pertaining to Sir Thomas Browne, 1609-1682, including a manuscript copy of his "Religio Medici".

4. Bibliotheca Historica

This section includes retrospective literature on medical men and

institutions.

5. Bibliotheca Biographica

6.Bibliotheca Bibliographica

This section includes the typewritten "Handlist of the Books sent

to Johns Hopkins University", 1922.

7. Incunabula

8. Manuscripts

The majority of manuscripts are placed in this section, but manuscripts considered by Sir William Osler to have had special significance were placed in Sections I-II and VI. In addition, there is a large collection of Oriental manuscripts donated by Dr. Casey A. Wood in 1927, and manuscript material collected or written by Sir William Osler that was added to the Bibliotheca Osleriana after his death.

The greater part of the original collection of manuscripts is in Latin and English with a selection in French and Italian. The manuscripts in Latin are of English, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish origin; while the manuscripts in English are mostly of English origin, with some originating in Scotland and a

few in the United States. The manuscripts cover the following periods: Latin manuscripts, 13th-18th centuries; English manuscripts, 16th-20th centuries; French manuscripts, 17th-19th centuries and Italian manuscripts, 14th-19th centuries. There are also one or two manuscripts in Arabic, Ethiopic, Sinhalese, Spanish and German.

These manuscripts comprise various types including correspondence, diaries, journals, treatises, handbooks, compendia, case reports, lecture notes, textbooks, addresses, notes, essays, literary works, diplomas, licenses, and drawings. Two broad subject categories reappear in the manuscripts of the major language groups, namely, medical and non-medical. The latter includes such topics as alchemy, astrology, witchcraft and the literary works of physicians. There is also a small selection of manuscripts dealing with scientific subjects.

The Oriental manuscript collection consists of nineteen Sinhalese olas of works on Hindu medicine; one Hindustani, two combining Arabic and Persian, twenty-two Arabic and sixty-two Persian medical manuscripts. The Sinhalese olas are arranged numerically; the other manuscripts are integrated alphabetically by titles and numbered consecutively.

Further details of the contents of the collection and the individual items in the Bibliotheca Osleriana may be found in the

published catalogue, Bibliotheca Osleriana, Montréal, McGill-Queen's University Press, 1969, as well as in the card catalogue of the Osler Library.

At the age of eleven, he contracted an illness which resulted in permanent spinal deformity and the stunting of his growth, but he vigorously resisted the role of invalid and completed his education under private tuition. After a year as a partial student at McGill, he enrolled in the Royal School of Mines, London, whence he graduated in 1872 with highest honours and the title of Associate. After a brief period surveying mines in Nova Scotia and teaching chemistry at Morrin College, Québec, he was appointed geologist and botanist to the British North American Boundary Commission, and made his first surveying trip to the Canadian West. His travels were even more extensive after 1875, when he became geologist with the Geological Survey of Canada; they resulted in numerous published reports and articles, primarily on the mineral resources of the Prairies, northern British Columbia and the Yukon, but also on the botany, geography, and ethnography of this region. In 1883, he became assistant-director and, in 1895, Director of the Geological Survey of Canada, which he headed until his death in 1901. He assisted in negotiating treaties affecting natural resources, notably as Commissioner in the Bering Sea seal inquiry of 1891-92, for which work he was awarded the C.M.G. A member of numerous scientific associations, Dawson was President of the Royal Society of Canada in 1893.

HUNT, THOMAS STERRY, 1826-1892

Geochemist Thomas Sterry Hunt was born in Norwich, Connecticut, and educated at Yale. In 1846 Hunt, then an employee of the Vermont Geological Survey, was hired by William Logan as a chemist for the Geological Survey of Canada. While at the survey, he undertook routine tasks of field exploration, chemical analysis of minerals, mining surveys, and administration. From his empirical laboratory experience he developed an interest in theoretical problems, which eventually produced the totally chemistry-based geology of his revolutionary "Report on the Chemistry of the Earth" (1870). Hunt's prolific publishing, as well as his important discoveries on petroleum and the chemistry of crystalline rocks, earned him an international reputation.

In 1872, unsatisfied with the new administration of the Geological Survey, Hunt departed for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He stayed there only until 1878, for though he had taught at Laval (1856-1863) and McGill (1862-1868), he did not enjoy educational work. Hunt never again found a truly remunerative or satisfying position. However, he remained a very active member of numerous scientific organizations, including the Royal Society of Canada, of which he was president in 1884, continued to publish, and revisited Canada frequently.

UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES

Originals, Printed Materials, 1845-1891, 60 cm (M.G. 2045)

The bulk of the Hunt papers consists of scientific correspondence, with a fairly large component of notes on scientific subjects. Most of the material dates from after Hunt's departure for the United States.

With the exception of a letter of appointment to the Geological Survey of Vermont in 1845, all Hunt's correspondence (incoming, with copies of some outgoing) dates from the period 1863-1891, with the majority of items from the 1880s. There are a few letters of a social or personal nature, but most concern scientific matters: geological and chemical research problems, exchange of specimens, Hunt's theories and the controversies they stirred, his publications, negotiations for patents on some of his discoveries, the business of various scientific societies, and in particular the organization of the Geological Congress. Amongst his correspondents were James D. Dana (with whom he engaged in a heated quarrel over scientific theory), James Hall, Persifor Frazer, J.W. Dawson, and various members of the Geological Survey of Canada, such as G.M. Dawson, Robert Bell, Henry Y. Hind, and George Iles.

Hunt's scientific notes mostly deal with special topics in chemistry, geology, mineralogy, railways, coal products and the controversy with Dana. There are also reading notes for geological texts, lecture notes for courses in geology, 1876, and chemistry, and indexes, apparently for Hunt's books. A manuscript on "Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography: an episode in its history", notes for a lecture on "People I have met", and sketches of family history represent Hunt's wider interests. There are also clippings of reviews of books and lectures by Hunt, biographical notices, reports on scientific themes and institutions, and news of the Geological Survey.

LOGAN, WILLIAM EDMOND, 1798-1875

William Logan, geologist and first director of the Geological Survey of Canada, was born in Montréal and educated there under Alexander Skakel, and briefly at the University of Edinburgh. For a while, he worked in London for the firm of his uncle, Hart Logan; however, he discovered his true geological metier when he drew some exceptionally accurate maps of the coal seams of South Wales, while employed there as a mine manager. His cartographical work won him a reputation with the British scientific community which secured his appointment as director of the Geological Survey of Canada in 1842. Logan's task as director was at once scientific and political. The survey's continued existence depended on public and governmental appreciation, not of scientific research, but of discoveries of potential mineral resources, as well as skilfull public relations through annual reports and exhibitions. Logan particularly excelled at the latter, and his displays of mineral specimens won prizes for Canada at numerous international expositions in the 1850s and 1860s. Meanwhile, Logan continued his field research and mapping with professional assistance from his subordinates Alexander Murray (cartography), Robert Bell and Thomas Sterry Hunt (chemistry) and Elkanah Billings (palaeontology). Logan was the first native Canadian to be elected to the Royal Society (1851), and he was knighted in 1856. He endowed a chair and medal at McGill, where his friend J.W. Dawson was Principal. He retired from the Survey in 1869, and died in Wales in 1875.

UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES

Originals, 1772-1884, 1 m (M.G. 2046)

Virtually all the Logan papers concern his scientific work. A small percentage relates to the affairs of his family, and to memorials to Logan after his death.

The great majority of the papers consists of scientific correspondence from about 1820 to 1874, but mostly for the years following his appointment to the Survey in 1842. The letters deal with the collection, exchange and description of geological specimens, expeditions under the aegis of the survey, problems of research and scientific interpretation, scientific meetings, and visits by scientists. The number of correspondents, both individuals and learned societies, is very large, but the most substantial bodies of letters are from J.W. Dawson, geologist and Principal of McGill University, James Hall, palaeontologist of the New York Geological Survey, Alexander Murray, Logan's chief assistant, and James Lowe of Grenville, Québec, who supplied Logan with specimens and appears to have been casually employed by him on surveying jobs and field trips. Other correspondents include Sanford Fleming, E.D. Ashe of the Québec Observatory, Thomas Sterry Hunt, and R.I. Murchison of the Geographical Society of Great Britain. Some letters pertain to political or social affairs, but usually in close connection with the scientific work of Logan or the Survey. These files contain copies of some of Logan's outgoing letters, as well as some letters addressed to other individuals, generally his assistants.

Other scientific papers consist of field trip records (a journal kept during an expedition in 1845, a weather table kept on Lake Superior in the winter of 1846-1847, work records and astronomical readings for surveying projects, notes on mineral deposits, and lists of specimens), manuscripts of three scientific papers, as well as "Observations on the proposed Geological Survey", and manuscript and printed maps and geological schemata, including some by Logan of the Bay of Fundy, Labrador, and Hamilton, Ontario regions. Manuscript catalogues of specimens were prepared by Logan for the Paris Exhibitions of 1855 and 1867.

Official reports include Logan's annual reports for 1842-1844, an

overview of the work of the Geological Survey, 1866, two reports by Logan on prospects for mining on the north shore of Lake Superior, 1846, 1847, and one on mineral deposits around Rivière du Loup, 1853, as well as Logan's copy of his proposed Geological Survey Bill, 1844, and some copies of reports on mining and cartography prepared by others.

Logan's financial records include expense accounts for Geological Survey expeditions, as well as other professional expenditures, such as books. His private and family life is reflected by a very brief diary of an Atlantic crossing in 1856, letters to and from his brothers James and Henry, his father, his uncle Hart Logan, and Hart Logan's partner John Fleming, covering the years 1772-1856. There are also baptismal and burial certificates, and legal documents, particularly bills of sale pertaining to James Logan's farm. Memorials to Logan after his death include J.W. Dawson's correspondence concerning the Logan Memorial Fund and Collection, 1881, and a manuscript biography by Alexander Murray.

There is a chronological and author/recipient index to these papers.
