Hindle, "Vital Matters"(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Science had felt 'oppressed' by the difficulty of finding a name 'by which we can designate the students of the knowledge of the material world collectively'.
This problem over designation arose because the 'men of science', of whom Whewell was one, thought themselves to be as much philosophers as scientific workers, and were concerned to maintain their status as thoughtful interpreters of a world which they nevertheless studied primarily in its material aspects.
It was of course her 'prescient' genius in the book to throw the visionary gaze of this moment into a vertiginous reverse by having what she later called the 'speculative eyes' of the created monster gaze expectantly back at his shattered and now impotent creator [Introduction 10].
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

Literature and Science, 1660-1834 published by Pickering & Chatto(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Science and literature were until recently two fields thought to be distinct, fenced in by special languages and cultivating different bodies of knowledge.
Although modern readers tend to associate the term ‘science’ with lab-coated physicists, in the eighteenth century the word is used in the sense of ‘knowledge’ of all sorts.
Literature and Science reproduces, in facsimile, primary texts which embody the polymathic nature of the literature of science, and the editorial matter provides overviews and extensive references, with a consolidated index at the end of each four-volume set.
This means that their social science was based on imagining humans stripped of social characteristics (in a state of nature) and working out how society came about through a social contract or agreement between the individuals.
For Bentham and his followers, social science is a way of looking behind the explanations (fictions) that human beings give for their actions, to discover the real reasons in terms of pain avoidance and pleasure seeking.
It is a practical science, because if science can analyze the real motives of human behaviour, laws can be designed that encourage citizens to behave in the way that maximises the sum of their pleasures, and minimises the pains.

When Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1834, science was in disarray.
Critics contended that British science was in decline, in contrast to the highly professional, well funded, state supported research they saw in France and Germany.
So amateurish was science in England that the English language even lacked a name for those who pursued it.
