DESCRIPTION:'Scientific instruments' before the rise of modern science in 
 the 1800's were diverse and pervasive. Instruments were used in a wide var
 iety of activities including research and observation\, navigation\, surve
 ying\, drawing\, education\, vision improvement\, and even fashion and ent
 ertainment. Dr Baker will explore these technologies and the thriving trad
 e in them in eighteenth-century London. There\, hundreds of preindustrial 
 workshops and retail shops churned out instruments for use across Britain\
 , Europe\, and their colonies.
