Foreword
2 j a I t 's w*th the greatest pleasure and satisfaction that we welcome the publication
of the second and final instalment of the descriptive catalogue of
the Teyler Museum's Cabinet of Physics. The first volume, published in
1973, covered the instruments acquired during the curatorship of
222 a Martinus van Marum between 1784 and 1837; the present publication
contains all the instruments in the collection that date from the later
nineteenth century. I am delighted that the present catalogue, like the
first volume, has once again been compiled by the leading authority in
the field of historical scientific instruments, Gerard L'E. Turner. We are
extremely grateful to Professor Turner, who also carried out the photography,
for all the interest he has shown in the Teyler Physical Cabinet
over the years.
222 I In preparing and finishing the work for this publication, the
author has been supported in countless ways by his wife, Helen Turner.
We at the Museum owe her a debt of gratitude for her active interest
and help. In Haarlem, Marijn van Hoorn, Curator of the Physical
Cabinet, oversaw the publication of this volume; his contribution is
greatly appreciated.
The research that led to this catalogue has been generously
supported by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research
(NWO). The present volume lays the groundwork for the history of the
Teyler Cabinet of Physics in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
