No other method of electrification (other than by friction) had previously been known. After Hans Sloane had taken over the Presidency of the Royal Society in 1727, Gray belatedly began to receive the recognition that his electrical research deserved. He was awarded the Royal Society s first Copley Medal in 1731 for his discovery of conduction, and the second in 1732 for his work on electrostatic induction. Despite his electrical experiments, and a fondness for tobacco, he survived until 1736. He has no monument in stone, but is memorialized in verse by Dictionary Johnson (Samuel Johnson 1709-1784) [v]. He received the Copley Medal twice (in 1731 and 1732) and became FRS in 1733.

On February 21, 1809, Hatchett became a member of the famous Literary Club which had been founded in 1764 by Dr. Samuel Johnson and Sir Joshua Reynolds (51). As treasurer of the club, Hatchett prepared a brief historical account of it, which appears in Boswell s Life of Johnson (25). The club also included, among others, Edmund Burke, Oliver Goldsmith, David Garrick, Edward Gibbon, Adam Smith, Sir Joseph Banks, Sir Charles Blagden, Sir Humphry Davy, Dr. W. H. Wollaston, Sir Walter Scott, Sir Thomas Lawrence, and Dr. Thomas Young. 

Given this admonition, written long ago by English poet and critic Samuel Johnson, we trust that this book may be read with some pleasure by a spectrum of readers. 

Samuel Johnson once commented that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. In their enthusiastic testimony, the supporters of cold fusion made ample use of patriotism, but as Representative Owens s statements show, preservation of our home, Planet Earth was also a favored theme. What might Samuel Johnson have said about extreme environmentalism, which is my final example of politicized science ... 

Though the chemist may not be the philosopher in Samuel Johnson s sense, nor the chemical engineer merely an artificer, the quotation aptly reinforces the need for the closest possible integration of the chemist s and chemical engineer s skills in the creation of a chemical process. 

The importance of the chemical engineer s input in a chemical process development program cannot be overemphasized. The chemical engineer is, in every way, a team member and contributor whose input should be sought by every process development chemist. As Samuel Johnson said ... without mechanical performance, refined speculation is but an empty dream — ...

Dictionaries are like watches the worst is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to go quite true". Thus Doctor Samuel Johnson wrote in the preface of his Dictionary. All of the contents of this book have been compiled from widely scattered sources. They are presented in this book for the first time in a form that is readily accessible for pleasure or for reference. Although there are doubtless errors in the quotations and in the citations, and there is certainly much omission, we have sought to ease the reader s need to undertake long searches of the literature in chemistry, physics, mathematics, literature, and philosophy.
