Science, Scientific Careers and Social Exchange in London: The Diary of Herbert McLeod, 1885--1900 (2008)
Herbert McLeod's diary, with daily entries from 1860 to 1923, reveals much about scientific life in London.1 It has been a major source for a number of papers.2 This paper, following one written about McLeod and some of his contemporaries at the start of their careers, focuses on a period when they were well established in the scientific community. While McLeod is again the principal player, the paper has a large cast of characters. Its purpose is not biographical; rather it is to illustrate aspects of the everyday lives of some of the more established scientists working in or near London during the period 1885--1900, to show some of the ways in which their scientific and social lives intersected, and some of the ways in which ideas were exchanged.
