Pedro Gutiérrez Bueno (1743-1822) y las relaciones entre la química y la farmacia durante el último tercio del siglo XVIII

El presente trabajo se enmarca en un proyecto de investigación sobre la farmacología en la sociedad española del siglo XIX, en particular, acerca del papel de las prácticas y los conocimientos químicos en la transición de la materia médica a la farmacología experimental. Dentro de ese esquema general, el objeto principal de este trabajo es uno de los principales autores españoles de libros de texto de química del último tercio del siglo XVIII: Pedro Gutiérrez Bueno (1745-1822). En un trabajo anterior se ha estudiado el público destinatario de la primera edición de su libro de texto así como las principales características de esta obra. En este artículo abordaremos el análisis del contexto en el que se produjo la aparición de la segunda edición, lo que conducirá a estudiar las ideas de Gutiérrez Bueno sobre las relaciones entre la química y la farmacia. Estas ideas estuvieron fuertemente influidas por los puntos de vista defendidos por Antoine Fourcroy en Francia.

Observations of Sun Spots, 1739-1743

Eleven-page notebook containing John Winthrop's handwritten observations and calculations. Titled by Winthrop "Observations of 'Spots' on ye Sun with ye Naked Eye," this is the first known record of his scientific observations and records what he saw while examining the sun "with an 8 foot telescope from 6 a.m. til sun set" on the Boston Commons and concluding with "a considerable aurora borealis" that night (April 20, 1739). It has been speculated that his reference to the aurora borealis in these observations may indicate that he recognized the interrelation of the aurora borealis and sun spots, a concept which was not definitively established until the mid-nineteenth century.
