Plaguing a Philosopher! (A Pictorial Study for the Magic Lantern or Shadow Show)

Anon

Genre:	Illustration, Drollery; Ballad
Relevant illustrations:	wdct. [8]
Subjects:	Scientific Practitioners, Morality, Electricity, Instruments
Represents the story of a 'grave philosopher' who, in the first illustration is seen poring over a large book 'in the study of intricate problems—for the benefit of humanity'. The next illustration shows two 'ruthless boys' who draw a caricature of the philosopher on his wooden gate. Later, the philosopher's enjoyment of reading a book in his garden is spoilt by the discovery of the boys and their graffiti. This was sufficient 'to ruffle the placid current of even a philosopher's mind' and so he connects his doorbell to an electric battery which, when the 'grinning urchins' ring on the bell, give them a nasty shock. The final illustrations show the contented philosopher and his cat. The parable concludes by insisting that the moral of the story is 'obvious'.

An account of Richard Arkwright Arkwright, Sir Richard (1732–92) ODNB Close View the register entry >> whose life represents 'one of the most brilliant examples on record of what patient industry can and will accomplish in the face of every difficulty'. Insists that despite being a 'genuine young dunce' whose first employment was in a Preston barber's shop, Arkwright would rise to become 'a man of much consequence, a High Sheriff of Derbyshire'. (157) Details his early career and his development from a barber to a hair dealer and wig maker who invented a 'secret' dyeing process and his fruitless pursuit of building a perpetual motion machine—part of the '"Perpetual Motion" craze which has done for mechanics what the "Philosopher's Stone" has done for chemistry'. Proceeds to describe how Arkwright explained to an astonished Lancashire farmer that he could build a machine for spinning yarn 'if he had the money', and then described the water-powered machine for driving the machine. Notes that his preoccupation with his invention diverted him from his business which prompted his desperate wife to destroy the models of his machine—a move prompting Arkwright's separation from his wife. Notes Arkwright's increasing confidence in the need for a 'machine such as he had in mind', a machine that would 'spin a thread long enough to enable the weavers to use it as warp' and which would solve the burgeoning demand for calicoes. Notes that shortly after John Wyatt's Wyatt, John (1700–66) ODNB Close View the register entry >> unsuccessful spinning machine, Arkwright gained a poor reception for his model when he displayed it in Free Grammar School, Preston Free Grammar School, Preston Close View the register entry >>. Emphasises Arkwright's impoverished state during this time and the hostile reception by 'ignorant workpeople' of his 'labour-saving apparatus', a response suffered by John Kay's Kay, John (1704–80/1) ODNB Close View the register entry >> fly-shuttle and James Hargreaves's Hargreaves, James (1721–1778) ODNB Close View the register entry >> spinning-jenny. Describes how Arkwright secured the partnership with Jedediah Strutt Strutt, Jedediah (1726–97) ODNB Close View the register entry >> which resulted in Arkwright's invention being patented and the establishment of spinning mills in Nottingham and, later, Derbyshire. Stressing that 'there is no such thing as idle satisfaction' to the 'genuine inventor', stresses that Arkwright struggled on with his work despite the lack of profit from his mills and attacks on his establishment by Lancashire manufacturers. Owing to fierce opposition to Arkwright's process of spinning cotton, the courts withdrew his patent. However, relishes Arkwright's determination and the fact that the opposition to his system from other mill-owners prompted him to establish more manufactures and 'seemed to increase his wealth'. Again, notes the legal and financial hurdles that stood in his way and his successful campaign against paying more tax than other mill-owners. Emphasises his ability to 'overcome prejudices, difficulties, fear, and factions' and the fact that his industry was eventually rewarded by King George III George III, King of Great Britain and Ireland and King of Hanover (1738–1820) ODNB Close View the register entry >> with a knighthood and appointment as High Sheriff of Derbyshire. Concludes by attributing Arkwright's rise to 'courageous perseverance' and to the 'noble industry which has so enriched our land, and has brought so many of England's poorest sons from obscurity to sit among princes'. (157) The illustration shows a young Arkwright showing models of his machine to a delighted domestic audience.

Begins by describing the next period of Robert Stephenson's life as one of 'astonishing activity' for someone 'never of robust constitution', emphasising his public fame, his 'uninterrupted success' as an engineer, and constructions noted for their 'simplicity, permanence, and utility'. Compares Stephenson with Isambard K Brunel Brunel, Isambard Kingdom (1806–59) ODNB Close View the register entry >>, emphasising Stephenson's caution and attention to all the 'bearings' of an engineering problem, and Brunel's status as someone whose 'genius was more splendid in designing than cautious in executing', his 'tendency to 'leave many difficulties unheeded', and his achievement of 'glorious growths of scientific intellect' that were economically disappointing. Notes parallels in the backgrounds and careers of Brunel and Stephenson, their conflict over the 'battle of the gauges', but participation in each other's engineering schemes: Brunel aided Stephenson on the Britannia Bridge, Menai Straits Britannia Bridge, Menai Straits Close View the register entry >>, while Stephenson helped Brunel launch the Great Eastern Great Eastern, ship Close View the register entry >>.
