Excluding the army and navy, the largest employer of scientific experts in mid-century was probably the Geological Survey of Great Britain and the associated Museum of Practical Geology. Together they had a scientific and technical staff of about twenty-five of whom about half were geologists. Working-class members stayed at working-class rates of pay; lower middle-class recruits with prior training could hope for promotion, but not to the top. See Secord, "The Geological Survey" (ref. 16), 228-9, 235-7.

Paul White, Thomas Huxley: Making the "man of science " (Cambridge, 2003). This book appeared just as I was making final revisions to this article and I have therefore not been able to incorporate its insights into my analysis. White and I share two central emphases, the significance of the term 'man of science' and the interpretive understanding to be gained from the concept of self-fashioning. White's analysis is more explanatory in that it identifies the cultural resources from which Huxley drew his images. My more synchronic analysis offers a background against which to assess the ways in which Huxley was unique or representative.

Principal scientific contributions of John William Strutt, third Baron Rayleigh
-
Rutherford Aris et al. (eds) (Minneapolis)
-
Lord Rayleigh left the Cavendish Chair at Cambridge in 1884 to return to "private studies" in his home laboratory. See John N. Howard, "Principal scientific contributions of John William Strutt, third Baron Rayleigh", in Rutherford Aris et al. (eds), Springs of scientific creativity: Essays on founders of modern science (Minneapolis, 1983), 163-87, p. 175. Grant Allen, a writer of fiction and of essays on numerous topics, including scientific topics, was described in the Dictionary of national biography (vol. xxii, "Supplement") as a "man of letters and man of science". Gunther would probably have classed him as a 'dabbler'.

'Gentlemen of science' has been much used by historians of science, following Jack Morrell and Arnold Thackray, Gentlemen of science: Early years of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (Oxford, 1981). It correctly emphasizes the gentlemanly status of the leaders of Victorian science, but it was not a common self-description. I have one example. When Mary Somerville was made an honorary member of the Bristol Philosophical and Literary Society in 1835, W. D. Conybeare wrote to her: You are now "entitled to claim a nominal connection with many of the most distinguished Scientific gentlemen of the Country" (Elizabeth Patterson, Mary Somerville and the cultivation of science, 1815-1840 (The Hague, 1983), 164). Men of science were assumed to be gentlemen, as is illustrated by the juxtaposition in Huxley's address to the Royal Society in 1883: "Gentlemen, as men of science..." ("President's address", Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, xxxvi (1883-84), 60-73, p. 73).

For example, Sir Charles Lyell was losing his sight; Lyon Playfair, who had been in Parliament since 1868, was influential but not active in science; and Sir Edward Sabine's declining power is illustrated by his reluctant resignation of the Presidency of the Royal Society in 1871 at age 83 (see Dictionary of scientific biography for all). Sir Roderick Murchison had died in 1871

"Address by the President", BAAS report, 1854, lv-lxxi, p. lv. Compare Spottiswoode who, in an extreme statement in his working men's lecture at the British Association in 1872, identified with his audience as "us outsiders of science" ("Mr. Spottiswoode's lecture to working men on sunlight, sea, and sky", Nature, 22 Aug. 1872, 333-6, p. 333). I interpret this as a rhetorical strategy to establish an identification with his audience and therefore do not attempt to incorporate it in my analysis of the scientific community. In 1872 Spottiswoode had published over forty mathematical articles (see Royal Society catalogue of scientific papers).

Bellon's close analysis of Hooker comes to a very similar conclusion. Hooker believed that his disinterested and selfless service to the nation gave him personal moral authority and imposed an obligation on the nation to support his science: Bellon, "Joseph Hooker's ideals" (ref. 22), 59, 64.

Hooker to Asa Gray, 26 July 1858
-
discussed by Bellon, (ref. 22)
-
Although Hooker seemed to deny any difference in scientific standing, in another context he differentiated his and Bentham's motives. Bentham was motivated by his love of science, whereas Hooker considered that a professional botanist should be motivated by a more public-spirited commitment to the good of science. (Hooker to Asa Gray, 26 July 1858, discussed by Bellon, "Hooker's ideals" (ref. 22), 62.)

-
Reingold, "Definitions and speculations" (ref. 19), on America, and Robert Kargon, on Manchester (Science in Victorian Manchester: Enterprise and expertise (Manchester, 1977)) have proposed labels (researcher, practitioner, cultivator, devotee) which would make more useful discriminations than the blunt professional and amateur. Although these proposals are not consistently based on Victorian usage, they do point to the kind of discriminations that need to be made.

Bellon, "Hooker's ideals" (ref. 22), 59-64. Similarly, Endersby, in "Putting plants in their place" (ref. 22), shows that in the 1840s and '50s Hooker's preferred self-description was "professed botanist", alluding not to his occupational status but to his commitment to botany as a vocation. As other people professed various religious commitments (the primary meaning of the word), Hooker professed his commitment to botany. However, although other botanists styled themselves 'professed', this did not always imply a high level of personal commitment. For example, in 1856 Charles Daubeny described himself as a professed botanist, by virtue of his position as Professor of Botany; but he identified chemistry as the subject with which he was most familiar, showing that 'professed', for him, meant public position rather than private commitment ("Address by the President" (ref. 37), pp. lxiv, xlix).

The Secretaries in 1858 were William Sharpey, Professor of Anatomy and Physiology at University College, London, and G. G. Stokes, Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. Sharpey's predecessor, Thomas Bell, held the positions of both dental surgeon at Guy's Hospital and Professor of Zoology at King's College while he was Secretary (1848-53).

Hooker's wife had died only two weeks previously and the address was read by the Treasurer, William Spottiswoode, "for the President" (p. 50). I interpret this as meaning that Hooker had written the address.

The labels come from: a local newspaper (1823), a Bristol collector (1823), and an antiquary (1847) for "fossilist"; Gideon Mantell, geologist, for "geological Lioness"; Ludwig Leichardt, explorer, for "Princess of palaeontology". See Hugh Torrens, "Mary Anning (1799-1847) of Lyme; 'the greatest fossilist the world ever knew'", The British journal for the history of science, xxviii (1995), 257-84, pp. 262-3, 268-9.

"Address by the President" (ref. 123), p. lxxix. When Allman chose to describe himself as "a worker in only the biological sciences" (List 4, 1879) rather than a 'naturalist' it may be that he was judging 'naturalist' to represent a lesser person. But also, he might have preferred the tone of 'worker', or he might have been trying not to take sides in the growing tensions between naturalists and biologists (see David Allen, "On parallel lines: Natural history and biology from the late Victorian period", Annals of natural history, xxv (1998), 361-71).
