Title William Henry Fox Talbot: Notebooks and loose notes (1778-1877)

Scope and ContentTalbot's notebooks testify to his wide-ranging intellectual and practical scientificinterests, which extended far beyond pioneering photographic research and invention toencompass research in mathematics, optics, astronomy, botany, horticulture, Assyriology,philology, and many associated avenues of interest. Talbot's notebooks sometimes contain aneclectic mixture of subject matter, recording not only the results of particular experiments,or lines of thought about a given subject, but also spontaneous and fleeting observations onostensibly unrelated matters to which he would often return at a later date.

In addition to notebooks of this character, the Series also includes more mundane records innotebook format relating to other aspects of Talbot's life: continental travel itineraries,address books, meticulous records of personal expenditure, as well as notebooks concerning hisLacock Estate responsibilities, from the maintenance of house and garden to records of titheapportionment and the collection of rents from Estate tenants. Some of the notebooks are notin Talbot's hand but were completed by others (household and other records mainatined on hisbehalf, or notebooks kept by other family members such as Elisabeth Feilding and HenriettaFeilding); some items, such as two of Talbot's Passports, for example, are not notebooks atall (88942/1/297 and 88942/1/298).

The notebooks span most of Talbot's life: the earliest notebook is dated 1806, when Talbot wassix years old, and the last notebook was completed in 1877, the year of his death. There is asingle earlier notebook (1778) belonging to one John Brickdale, which contains a fairhand copyof 'The Elements of Euclid' that was probably used in the course of Talbot's education. When anotebook was given a title by Talbot, it has been noted in the title field; a notebook withouttitle (the majority) is simply recorded in the title field as 'Notebook'.

Appendix III of the biography of Talbot by H. J. P. Arnold, William Henry Fox Talbot: Pioneerof Photography and Man of Science (1977), is a list of 'Talbot Notebooks'. Arnold's list of 36notebooks is confined to Talbot's intellectual notebooks in the broad fields of 'Science andMathematics' and 'Etymology and Philology', and thus excludes most of the notebooks in thepresent more broadly-grouped British Library Series. For convenience, Arnold's list is givenbelow, correlated with British Library reference numbers:

• 'Science and Mathematics': • B (1822) 88942/1/184; • C (1825) 88942/1/185; • D (1825-6) 88942/1/186; • E (1827) 88942/1/187; • F (1828-30) 88942/1/188; • I (1831-2) 88942/1/190; • J (1832-3) 88942/1/191; • K (1833-4) 88942/1/192; • M (1834-5) 88942/1/193; • N (1835-6) 88942/1/194; • O (1836-8) 88942/1/195; • P (1839-40) - held at National Media Museum, Bradford; • Q (1840-43) - held at National Media Museum, Bradford; • CC Mathematical Notebook (September 1836) 88942/1/197; • No code Mathematical Notebook (December 1837) 88942/1/203; • No code Botanical Notebook (1823-6) 88942/1/221;

Title Talbot: Notebook ('S.1') (1836)



Scope and ContentThis notebook is the first of the etymological series S-Z (Add MS 88942/1/13-25) and at thesame time the first of a smaller subseries of five notebooks ('S' series Add MS 88942/1/13-17)within the series 'S-Z'.

The notebook starts with notes on Egyptian hieroglyphics and mythology and continues withetymological notes on Greek and various modern European languages, including names of placesand Greek gods. Talbot included later revisions in pencil. It continues with Add MS88942/1/14. The series S-Z contains a few random notes on ancient coins and translations, but

Page 11 2022-06-18

mainly comprises notes on the etymology of names of mythological characters and places, aswell as etymological notes on various languages, including English. Talbot makes numerousreferences to journal articles published at the time. The series is therefore not only apreparation for Talbot’s Hermes, or Classical and Antiquarian Researches (1838-1839), but alsofor the more detailed publication English Etymologies (1847). Hermes promised a new view onclassical Antiquity, comprising the Antiquities of Greece, Italy and Egypt and Etruscanmythology, using a mixture of more familiar classical material and lesser known writers. Somereviews of Hermes were positive, pointing out Talbot's depth of research and knowledge,highlighting the stimulating etymological connections made. Precisely the speculative elementand the lacking philological framework and knowledge of European research of Indo-Europeanlanguages, however, lead to some criticsim. The Antiquity of the Book of Genesis Illustratedby Some New Arguments (published in 1838 with a run of 200 and selling slightly better thanTalbot's other antiquarian publications) expanded on the idea of allusions to Biblical storiesin different histories and mythologies.

Further notebooks outside this series dating from around 1838 (Add MS 88942/1/7-12) containearly and amended drafts for Talbot's Hermes, some of them with markings and corrections byTalbot. See also: English Etymologies Series A-L dating from 1840-1848 (Add MSS88942/1/26-36), which probably continues with the much later 1855 notebook 'M' (Add MSS88942/37).

Title Talbot: Notebook ('A') (1840)



Scope and ContentThis is the first in a large, incomplete series of notebooks, which served as preparations forTalbot's English Etymologies. The notes in this series are more organized than in previousetymological notebooks; single words are underlined that also appear in the publication. Thenotebook starts ‘Fine passage of Sophocles’. The following pages mainly include etymologicalnotes on Greek, Latin, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and studies of 'Hindostanee',Persian, Arabic as well as an excursus on the political history of places and names such asLycia.

The series is continued with Add MS 88942/1/27. The subsequent publication EnglishEtymologies appeared in 1847 at Talbot's own expense (500 copies). Talbot's publisher, JohnMurray, had prepared him for the criticism he might face. Despite an initial positive reviewin the Literary Gazette and praise and appreciation of the book among Talbot's correspondents,a reviewer in the Quarterly Review accused Talbot of methodological and scholarly failings.Talbot was given the opportunity by the editor of the Literary Gazette to reply to thecriticism. Nevertheless, the publication sold well and was a significant contribution to thehistory of etymology. Talbot's impressive and vast knowledge of classical and modern

Page 19 2022-06-18

languages, including Hindi, Farsi, Celtic and Icelandic, to name only a few, inspired him inhis findings, which can be traced in the vivid and intuitive way he kept his many etymologicalnotebooks. He lacked, however, a systematic and scientific method despite his knowledge ofwork already being done in the field. The use of question-marks behind etymologies in hisnotes suggest uncertainty, while at the same time suggest the confidence to take risks increating uncertain, spontaneous links. A break of scholarly activities after the death of hismother Lady Elizabeth Theresa Fox-Strangways (Feilding) in 1846, and interest in ancientlanguages such as Egyptian and Assyrian, might have prevented Talbot contributing further tothe field.

The series might be a continuation of Add MS 88942/1/25, a notebook which also contains noteson English Etymologies.

Scope and ContentThe majority of this exercise book comprises Latin translation and grammar exercises(including hymns and poems) with very few relations to Greek or Roman languages from 1811 and1812 when Talbot was at Harrow. Judging by the different uses of ink and pencil it seems thatTalbot kept editing, marking and evaluating his own notes several times over the followingyears. He continued to do so even years later (up to 1815, some entries might be even later)by correcting notes or adding comments to the original text. Some entries might also bewritten by a tutor. The last pages contain a note on 'Magical Squares' (headline with adrawing) and several notes on the definition and history of chemical substances ( e.g. oxygen,phosphorus, muriatic acid, gold, platinum, silver, mercury).

Title Talbot: Notebook ('Rough 1') (between 1866-1868)



Scope and ContentThis notebook contains notes on the Assyrian glossary and starts with an index of words in thefront cover. It summarises from notebooks Talbot used at the Athenaeum Club (see Add MS88942/1/107, and Add MS 88942/1/114-120). Talbot was elected to the Athenaeum in 1824.

This notebook is part of a series of 20 notebooks (Add MS 88942/1/68-86), of which No. 5 ismissing. The notebooks usually have indices of words in the front cover. The series isfollowed by the 'Assyrian Glossary' series of notebooks (Add MS 88942/1/88-105) which includesmaterial for Part 3 and a possible Part 4 of the 'Assyrian Glossary'. Talbot published theresults in a three-part publication between 1868 and 1873 as 'Contribution Towards a Glossaryof the Assyrian Language', in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society.

Other notebooks with comparable content - for example, Add MS 88942/1/97 and Add MS88942/1/111 - suggest that a continuation of the published series was planned. This fourthpart, however, was not published, perhaps because Norris had been working on an influentialdictionary at the same time. Other notebooks relating to the Assyrian Glossary are: Add MS88942/1/87, Add MS 88942/1/108, Add MS 88942/1/109, and Add MS 88942/1/111. The series is alsoconnected to Add MS 88942/1/87.

Title Talbot: Notebook ('U.145') (1856?)



Scope and ContentThe notebook consists of notes on cuneiform and transcribed texts, possibly from tablets, onthe right page, with footnotes and etymological and philological annotations on the left.

The text consists of parts of an Iguvinic inscription in Umbrian and Latin. Talbot might havelearned about the text from the German Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius, who he correspondedwith in the 1840s. In 1843, Talbot tried to convince Lepsius to take a photographic camera tohis expedition to Lycia. Even though Lepsius showed great initial interest in following thisadvice and his notebooks lists photographic equipment, no calotypes are known from hisexpedition. Lepsius, however, did received a copy of Talbot's photograph 'The Talbotypeapplied to Hieroglyphics' (1846). Lepsius had travelled to Gubbio/Iguvium in 1837 to view theinscriptions dealt with in the notebook and made moulds of them. Talbot might have copied thetext either from Lepsius moulds, or from copies, or independently from published versions ofthe text.

Title Talbot: Notebooks ('A'-'O') (1817-1871)

Scope and ContentA series of mathematical and scientific notebooks, lettered 'A'-'O', from which notebook 'G'is missing. Notebook 'L' (until very recently, also considered missing) is held separately inthe British Library Loan Collection. Photography notebooks 'P' (1839) and 'Q' (1840) are heldat the National Media Museum, Bradford.

This series is particularly rich in content and variety, although it is less systematic thanother series within Talbot's many notebooks. Even though Talbot kept his notes on mathematicsand the sciences separate from other fields such as philology and Assyriology, themathematical and scientific notebooks are not particularly coherent, especially the earlynotebooks from the 1820s and 1830s. Talbot tended to switch between topics abruptly. Thesenotebooks are characterised by a density of entries and attest to a fast and creative workingmethod. The notes he made are a mixture of immediately recorded spontaneous thoughts, combinedwith extracts from his reading (often unreferenced).

Extent and Format 1 notebook (21 ff.)

Title Talbot: Notebook ('A') (1817-1844)



Scope and ContentThe notebook contains various astronomical and atmospheric observations (dated 1817 and 1819)and a few mathematical notes. Talbot studied planes revolving around an axis, found theequation for a curve traced by its intersection with a line (parabola), and also tookextensive notes on the positions and paths of comets.

Talbot was especially interested in the Pons comet of November 1818-January 1819, the greatcomet of July-October 1819, a comet seen from Macao in May 1820, the Nicollet-Pons comet ofJanuary-May 1821, and the Gambart comet of May-June 1822. Talbot saw the Nicollet-Pons cometfrom Cambridge in February 1821. Talbot wrote to F.X. von Zach from Nice in late 1821 tellinghim of the comet seen from Macao in 1820 and asking about the best methods of computing theorbit of a comet. He wrote to Zach again in the summer of 1822 from London on reports of theGambart comet. Talbot used sources such as Zach (Correspondance astronomique), KarlGauss’s reports of 1812-13, Revue encyclopédique, Philosophical Transactions of the RoyalSociety, and the Berliner Astronomisches Jahrbuch. He noted that the 1818 comet might havemoved very close to Mars. He compared the paths for the 1821 comet computed by Johann Enckeand by John Brinkley. These data are contained in Talbot’s report to Zach, dated 12 July 1822.This notebook also contains remarks on the mass of Saturn from Friedrich Bessel, Joseph LouisLagrange, and Alexis Bouvard, on the aurora borealis and its possible identity with zodiacallight and on the parallax of the Moon. Talbot proposed a method for generating navigationaltables for ten or twelve years. He also presented comparisons of the results of measuringmountain heights, including those of the Peak of Teneriffe, of Chimborazo (Andes), Mont Blanc(Alps) and Monte Rosa (Appenines) using a barometer (hypsometry). His sources includedAlexander von Humboldt and Horace de Saussure.

The notebook includes one later entry from November 1844 on the first page. The fewmathematical notes are connected to astronomy. Talbot studied, for example, how to constructellipses and studied the movements of planets, the parallax of the moon, and the calculationof ellipses.

Notebook designated 'A' on inside front cover.

Title Talbot: Notebook ('B') (1822-1824)



Scope and ContentTalbot used this astronomical and mathematical notebook between 1822 and 1824 (the notebookincludes the date Feb 11 1824 on a later page). The notebook continues notes on cometscommenced in notebook 'A' (Add MS 88942/1/183), begining with notes on the first comet of 1822discovered in Auriga May 12 by Gambert, and a third comet of 1822 discovered in Cassiopeia byPons on July 13.

Talbot presents a method to determine whether a past comet is the same as one of known orbit.He discusses mathematical problems of deriving the real cometary path from observations ofapparent motion. He records the positions of comets observed during 1822 by Gambart and Pons.Further notes include experiments to determine the eastern deviation of a stone falling from ahigh tower because of the Earth’s rotation and the use of Atwood’s Machine. Talbot recordscomments on the methods for making spherical lenses devised by the Bavarian instrument makerJosef Fraunhofer. Talbot describes how to orient an equatorial telescope at the equator todetermine the azimuth of a terrestrial object. He also reports on John Herschel’s proposal toemploy optical diffraction by using a micrometer in observing double stars. This note islinked to his discussion of double stars in a letter from Milan to Giovanni Amici (August1823). The notebook includes also notes on Fraunhofer’s procedure for grinding sphericalglasses, notes on forming dust figures for sound vibrations, converting sound vibrations tocircular movements, notes 'On the figure produced by a vibrating chord', and on the'Photometer'. The mathematical notes include analytical geometry (in order to describe themovement of the celestial bodies) and conic sections, and the analysis of curves (formulas todescribe curves, hyperboles, ellipses, celestial bodies). The individual notes are mostlyundated. The notes exceed the mathematical notes in later notebooks from around 1837, in whichTalbot is mainly mastering calculations.

Back to front: At the end of the notebook are notes on classical inscriptions in Greek andLatin seen in Florence in October 1822.

Notebook started: 21 Oct 1822. Designated 'B' on outside and inside front cover.


Page 119 2022-06-18



Creation Date 1825





Scope and ContentThis notebook contains mainly astronomical and a few mathematical notes. The notebook containssubstantial records of Talbot’s conversations with Dominique Arago at the Paris Observatoryfrom March 1825. Talbot used the large telescope there to observe Jupiter, the Crab nebula andthe Orion nebula. Arago and Talbot discussed in detail Arago’s famous experiments on theeffect of rotating metal discs on magnetic needles, on sunlight as the result of burning gas,on the equal refrangibility of all starlight, which both Arago and Fraunhofer judged evidenceagainst the particle theory of light and on the polarisation of moonlight.

In June 1825, Talbot recorded experiments at the Royal Institution on coloured flames and hisown work on the polarisation of light from a rainbow. The notebook also contains remarks onthe design of a heliostat, designed to maintain the orientation of a telescope, and onAugustin Fresnel’s new wave theory of light. It also includes detailed notes on the effect ofrotating bodies on a magnetized needle, on photometers and the sun, on magic squares, and along entry on light, on wave theory of light. The mathematical notes deal with calculations onthe difference between hyperbolic arcs and their tangents, some notes on algebraic equations,and includes some excerpts from mathematical books at the end.

The notebook is dated 'March 1825' on the inside front cover in pencil, but this date does notseem to be in Talbot's hand and appears to have been added at a later date.

Notebook started: Mar 1825. Designated 'C' on outside and inside front cover.

Scope and ContentThis notebook contains notes on mathematical and other scientific subjects. Regardingastronomy, the notebook contains many notes on recent comets. On 14 October 1825, Talbotobserved the Pons comet (which reached perigee on 12 October) 'with the large telescope' (f.7) . Talbot made notes on recent comets taken from a list produced by Heinrich Olbers andpublished in Schumacher’s Astronomische Abhandlungen. Talbot records observations of theoccultation of one of Jupiter’s moons on 13 February 1826 and of the occultation of Saturnthree days later. Furthermore, the notebook includes comments on experiments to show therotation of the Earth (see notebook 'B', Add MS 88942/1/184). It also contains a method forfinding the azimuth, an apparatus for a twenty feet reflecting telescope, and discussion ofwhether falling stars are in fact meteorites. There are more remarks on heliostats (seenotebook 'C', Add MS 88942/1/185). It also contains notes on 'Heliostat', i.e. a descriptionof a method to render a solar ray at rest and steady for some time, notes on a mirror movableon a vertical and horizontal axis, using strings to pull it as the sun moves to keep the rayin place. The notebook also contains notes on a 'Trick of Cards' (f. 27). The mathematicalnotes include solutions of indefinite integrales, algebraic equations, the geometrical meaningof integrals, and the calculation of areas using integrals (of hyperboles and parabolas). Theanalytical geometry is connected to celestial bodies, and so is the calculations of ellipseswhich is connected to comets (see the notes on astronomy). An ancient Greek greeting isinscribed on the inside front cover.

Title Talbot: Notebook ('J') (1832-1834)



Scope and ContentThis notebook contains various notes on a wide range of subjects. Mathematical notes towardsthe end of the notebook, headed 'at Nice, Nov. 17', deal with conic sections, eccentricities,hyperbolas, and the multiplication of integrals (one entry is dated 'Feb. 16 1834'), longnotes on definite and indefinite integrales, 'On fragmentary curves', and trigonometricfunctions, geometric series, integral theorems, on 'reciprocal limits', and discontinuousfunctions. Further miscellanous notes deal with the camera lucida applied to the eyeglass of atelescope to examine lines in a spectrum, on an experiment at the Royal Institution onelectricity (see Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London 1759 (51) 317, pp.5-13), a solution which turns from blue to clear over months, and which can be used as ink towrite letters which disappear but remain visible in relief, more notes on invisible ink.Talbot mentions that Faraday informed him of another way to create invisible ink (see also AddMS 88942/1/190 and Add MS 88942/1/193). This entry is followed by some notes on the mixing ofcolours and how they change (Talbot tested this in this notebook, using different types ofink). Further notes contain entries on optics and electric sparks, entries on blue vitriolwetted and fastened to a plate glass on either side, making a blue glass, on making a resinprism, and on colour blending. There are also notes on a revolving circle experiment (amodification to Wheatstone’s experiment on the velocity of electricity, later published inCharles Wheatstone, 'An Account of Some Experiments to Measure the Velocity of Electricity andthe Duration of Electric Light', Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society ofLondon 124, pp. 583-591). Talbot had attended Faraday’s and Wheatstone’s presentations on thisongoing work in 1833 at the Royal Institution. Talbot published this proposal as part of his1833 paper 'Proposed Philosophical Experiments', Philosophical Magazine, ser. 3, vol.3(14), pp. 81–82. Wheatstone became upset at Talbot for pre-empting his work before he hadchance to publish. Further notes comprise entries on capillary tubes, a paragraph on passing aspectrum through prism through cobalt glass, on making transparent compounds, on producinggreen liquid by mixing copper suplhate solution with common salt, notes on mirrors antriangular prisms, a few lines on a method for measuring 'the least distance of distinctvision', on crystallization from different solutions, a note on making a compound prism, noteson a telescope stand, and notes observing 'the spectrum of a narrow aperture' with ateleoscope. Talbot suggests that using a camera lucida 'applied to the eyeglass of atelescope' would be useful for examining lines in the spectrum by projecting it upon ahorizontal sheet with a scale written on it. There are also notes on the trapezoidal piece ofglass such as in a camera lucida followed by a simple geometrical proof about the images of anobject obtained in two mirrors at an angle with each other as in a camera lucida including acomment with the angles between mirrors in his camera lucida, followed by 'expts with a bluecobalt glass of variable thickness, & slightly prismatic'. The notebook also includes thefirst mention of optically fixing moving objects, on 'oxygen blowpipe', on colours of liquidsolutions, on 'Brande’s lecture at R. Instn.', on the detonation of nitrogen compounds, on'Arrangement for Combined Prisms', and on a 'Singular microscope'. Talbot notes a peculiarityin his microscope where the second surface of the lens acts as a mirror so one can see dust onthe upper surface of the eyeglass reflected in the eyepiece magnified. He also mentions thisobservation on two glasses cemented together (and the double images seen). Further notes referto the Royal Institution and to Faraday, to lime and carbonic acid uniting only in thepresence of water, and chemical notes regarding gases, starting with the heading 'liquefactionof gases'. Talbot also made some tetrahedron-shaped crystals, which he showed to Faraday, whoassumed they were protomuriate of copper. Talbot, however, believed them to also contain tin.There are more details on these experiments and on chemical experiments, notes on 'Faraday atR. Instn. Ice conducts heat, water not.', on 'a piece of Icelandspar, bought of Watkins &Hill, giving many images', notes on the manipulation of these images, notes on experimentswith polarized light and notes on various materials which can 'restore the light', more ondepolarizing, and notes on a concave mirror 'giving 4 reflections of a candle of differencesizes'.

Talbot records his observation of Halley's Comet on 27 August 1835 with a five feet achromatictelescope at Lacock and summarises other observations of Halley's Comet from newspapers. Proudof having recovered the Comet a day before the Royal Observatory, Talbot sent this observationto John Lubbock in London on 30 August and to George Airy in Cambridge on 1 September. Talbotconcludes that the Great 1823 Comet described in Olbers’ catalogue (see Add MS 88942/1/186 )was the same as Comet XXX of Alexandre Pingré’s 1783 catalogue (notebook p. 136).

The notebook includes an early note on 'sciagraphy' (or the art of fixing shadow imagesdirectly onto light-sensitive paper) which points towards Talbot's subsequent invention of thenegative/positive process of the calotype: 'In the Photogenic or Sciagraphic process, if thepaper is transparent, the first drawing may serve as an object, to produce a second drawing,in which the lights and shadows would be reversed' (notebook p. 90).

The notebook also includes notes on: invisible ink (also referred to in notebooks Add MS88942/1/190 and Add MS 88942/1/191); crystals and solutions; precipitates; an experimentconcerning the velocity of light and electric sparks; magnetic instantaneous light; adescription of an electromagnetic apparatus; a method for testing the force of an attractionin different parts of a magnetic bar; an electro magnetic apparatus belonging to Watkins; theadhesion of two glass prisms (quoting Becquerel and Opinus on this topic); determining thedistribution of magnetism in a plate of iron; electromagnetic rotation, using suspendedneedles; letters written with commercial ink turning red when washed with weak sulphuric acid;the colours of flowers at Lucerne; and a chamber illuminated with intermittent light. Thereare further notes on variation in the phantascope, notes about a magnet and a needle,including a variation involving a revolving cylinder carrying several needles, on Iodides, ona series of bent horseshoe magnets circling a rotating cylinder, on a series of cylindersconnected with chains, on the distribution of magnetism in a tetrahedron, on the nature ofmagnetic motion in a particle, absorption spectra, solar phosphorescence, notes on an'Electromagnetic engine', and on reproducing images and engravings photographically.

From an early age, Talbot was keenly interested in plants. As a boy, he concentrated hisstudies on the British mosses, and by the 1820s he was gathering plant material and meticulousbotanical observations during his lengthy expeditions to the continent. He corresponded withsome of the highest botanical authorities of the day, including William Jackson Hooker, whowould become the first Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, and the celebratedItalian botanist Antonio Bertoloni. In his botanical garden at Lacock, Talbot planted seeds hehad collected abroad or received from his correspondents, experimenting with the latesthorticultural techniques. By 1829, he was a respected botanist, elected a Fellow of theLinnaean Society of London. Talbot’s first photogenic drawings (made without the use of acamera) were images of botanical specimens, exemplifying the precision with which hisinnovative process could reproduce intricate natural forms.

This botanical notebook contains details of plants observed, together with a record of theirlocation (in the main, England), including the names of several mosses. Two large volumesamongst Talbot's papers, containing more than 180 cryptogams (moss specimens), testify to hisspecial interest in mosses. The notebook also details of 'Foreign plants' (beginning on f. 17).
