  • The appearance and proliferation of physics laboratories in the academic institutions of Britain between 1865 and 1885 is an established feature of Victorian science. However, neither of the two existing modern accounts of this development have adequately documented the predominant function of these early physics laboratories as centres for the teaching of physics, characteristically stressing instead the exceptional cases of the research laboratories at Glasgow and Cambridge. Hence these accounts have attempted to explain, somewhat misleadingly, the genesis of these laboratories purely by reference to the stimuli of professionalized research programmes, instead of considering the contemporary growth in demand for the professional laboratory teaching of physics. In failing to consider such physics laboratories in terms of the political economy of British education, these accounts have also failed a fortiori to correlate this development with the contemporaneous extension of laboratory teaching methods to other scientific disciplines, a movement dubbed as a laboratory ‘revolution’ by later nineteenth-century commentators.

  • BJHS, 22, pp. 460–462. In two reviews of the following books, Philosophy of Biology Today by Michael Ruse, and Science as a Process: An Evolutionary Account of the Social and Conceptual Development of Science by David L. Hull, both of which were reviewed by Keith Vernon, a column has been misplaced. The left-hand column on p. 462 should appear before the left-hand column on p. 461. The publisher apologizes for this mistake and regrets any inconvenience caused by it.
