An University Within Ourselves: Sciences in Cambridge in the 18th century

An University Within Ourselves: Sciences in Cambridge in the 18th century

£4.00

Description

Whipple Museum of the History of Science, 1998, 48pp

Despite the sleepy reputation of 18th-century Cambridge, many colleges were engaged in building facilities for astronomical research. From the observatory at Trinity College to the University Observatory in the early 19th century, Cambridge was never inactive. This booklet accompanies the exhibition mounted in the Whipple Museum to mark the two hundredth anniversary of the closing of Trinity Observatory in 1797.
