Henry Baker (1698–1774) was a typical 18th century polymath: natural historian, poet, translator of Molière, editor of a popular periodical and prolific correspondent. He was a cofounder of the Royal Society of Arts and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Antiquaries. Baker’s influence on the development and popularization of the microscope was considerable and he wrote three books; the first, The Microscope Made Easy, was a best seller. In 1741 Baker was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and played a prominent role in its activities for 30 years. The Bakerian Lecture was founded as a result of a bequest in his will.
