Excerpt from Eighth Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution: Showing the Operations, Expenditures, and Condition of the Institution Up to January 1, 1854; And the Proceedings of the Board Up to July 8, 1854
There is another division with regard to knowledge which Smithson does not embrace in his design, Viz. The application of knowledge to useful purposes in the arts; and it was not necessary he should found an institution for this purpose. There are already in every civilized country establishments and patent laws for the encouragement of this department of mental industry. As soon as any branch of science can be brought to bear on the necessities, conveniences, or luxuries of life, it meets with encouragement and reward. Not so with the discovery of the incipient principles of science. The investigations which lead to these receive no fostering care from government, and are considered by the superficial observer as trifles unworthy the attention of those who place the supreme good in that which immediately administers to the physical necessities or luxuries oflife.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book collates the eighth set of annual reports submitted to the US Congress by the Smithsonian Institute, covering the year 1853. The Smithsonian Institute was a brainchild of James Smithson, an English scientist who bequeathed his fortune to the US to found an establishment that would increase and diffuse knowledge among men. As per Smithson's directive, the focus of the establishment was not limited to the United States but intended to be global. The annual reports published by the Smithsonian Institute provide a fascinating insight into the scientific activities, discoveries, and discussions conducted during the year 1853. The reports highlight various disciplines such as geology, meteorology, paleontology, zoology, and archaeology. The Institute hosted lectures, published research, and facilitated the exchange of scientific information both within the US and internationally. It was steadfastly guided by two principles: to avoid duplication of efforts and to focus on areas that benefit humanity as a whole. The book is an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the development of scientific inquiry and knowledge dissemination in the mid-19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780282883713_0
