| 520 | _a"Early American Scientific Instruments and Their Makers" by Silvio A. Bedini is a scholarly publication written in the mid-20th century. This work explores the history of scientific instruments used in America during its colonial period, focusing on both the tools and the artisans who crafted them. It seeks to document the evolution of instrument-making in the Americas, providing a comprehensive picture of how these instruments contributed to the development of science and technology in the colonies. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the importance of scientific instruments in early American society, highlighting their dual role as both educational tools and practical devices used by navigators and surveyors. The author discusses the initial reliance on imported instruments from England and France, followed by the emergence of native American craftsmen who began producing their own instruments as communities grew and the demand for such tools increased. Bedini establishes the groundwork for understanding the key figures in this field, the Rittenhouse brothers among them, as well as the broader implications of their work on the practices of science and mathematics that were developing in the New World.
