Knight, p. 191 ("Perhaps more important than any writings on induction by philosophers was the splendid example of inductive reasoning by William Charles Wells. . . . his Essay on Dew was rapidly recognized as a classic."). Wells was born in Charleston, South Carolina, but left America at the start of the Revolution for London, where he became physician to St. Thomas's Hospital. In the autumn of 1811, he began a series of researches in the Surrey garden of his friend James Dunsmore, comparing the formation of dew under varying conditions of temperature, humidity, weather, cloud cover, season, and time of day. He concluded that dew results from the condensation of air in contact with objects cooled by radiating their heat into the cloudless night sky. "His researches . . . were of major importance in the development of the science of ventilation, particularly in its relation to relative humidity and the influence of the latter on the comfort of the occupants of factories, ships, theatres, etc." (Garrison-Morton) Wells's inquiry into the nature of dew was widely cited in the 1830s as an outstanding example of inductive scientific inquiry. Sir John Herschel used it as the primary illustration in his Discourse on the study of Natural Philosophy, calling the theory "one of the most beautiful specimens we can call to mind of inductive experimental enquiry lying within a moderate compass." In 1836, the Encyclopedia Metropolitana reported, "We know of no work in our day which has been more universally admired than the Treatise of Dr. Wells, certainly none that practically exemplifies in a purer and better form the admirable inductive system which it was the object of Bacon to teach." John Tyndall and William Whewell also praised it. N. B.

8vo, pp. (iii), 146. Contemporary blue half calf, spine gilt, gilt edges, marbled sides and endpapers. Title very slightly foxed and dust-soiled, spotting on endpapers, binding slightly worn at head of spine, but a good copy. FIRST EDITION. G&M 1604. The first correct theory of dew ? a classic work in meteorology and in environmental and industrial medicine. ?His researches on the subject were of major importance in the development of the science of ventilation, particularly in its relation to relative humidity and the influence of the latter on the comfort of the occupants of factories, ships, theatres, etc.? (G&M). Wells made a meticulous study of the formation of dew, and correctly interpreted his data, proving for the first time that dew is formed by air coming into contact with objects that have been cooled in a cloudless night sky. ?Wells? Essay was greatly praised by Herschel, and it is indeed one of the few examples of the use of strict inductive logic in science? (Knight, Natural Science Books in English).…
