"The sciences, or more especially the natural sciences, in the eighteenth century were all put together under the heading of "Natural Philosophy." The teaching and investigation of this subject was done in a room, or laboratory, popularly called the Philosophy Chamber. It was a small affair compared to our enormous modern requirements.
