Science Culture in English-Speaking Montreal, 1815-1842
|
| Abstract |
An examination of the multiplicity of ways in which science became a part of the cultural attitudes of English-speaking Montreal in the first half of the nineteenth century. The author argues that attitudes towards science among English Montrealers were shaped by public spectacles and lectures, informal and formal learning experiences, and by the growth of such institutions as libraries and scientific institutions. By 1835, he points out, a number of primary and secondary English language schools in the city included some science in their curriculum.
