List members will no doubt be sad to learn of the death of Maurice Crosland, esteemed historian of the sciences in Revolutionary, Napoleonic and nineteenth-century France.
Dear colleagues,
I am sorry to announce the death of Maurice Crosland, Emeritus Professor at the University of Kent. Professor Crosland died peacefully at home in Canterbury on Sunday 30th August, aged 89.
Maurice Crosland completed his PhD at UCL in 1959, and following a position at the University of Leeds, was eventually appointed Professor of the History of Science at the then University of Kent at Canterbury in 1974. Here, he led a research unit (Unit for the History, Philosophy and Social Relations of Science) with distinction, whilst also teaching courses on the history of medicine and science. He is best known for his publications on the history of chemistry and the history of science in France. In 1984 he received the Dexter Award from the Division of the History of Chemistry of the American Chemical Society, in recognition of his many contributions to the history of science. He retired in 1994, but remained active as a researcher for a number of years after that.
Professor Crosland's publications included Historical Studies in the Language of Chemistry (1962), The Society of Arcueil; A View of French Science at the Time of Napoleon I (1967), Science in France in the Revolutionary Era (editor, 1969), The Science of Matter: A Historical Survey (1971), The Emergence of Science in Western Europe (1975), Gay-Lussac, Scientist and Bourgeois (1978), Science Under Control: The French Academy of Sciences, 1795–1914 (1992), and In the Shadow of Lavoisier: the Annales de Chimie and the Establishment of a New Science (1994). His Studies in the Culture of Science in France and Britain since the Enlightenment (1995) contains reprints of earlier articles
Professor Crosland was also a President of the British Society for the History of Science from 1974-6.
