 Redeeming Culture: American Religion in an Age of Science by James Gilbert, excerpt
The essence of true science, he concluded, was the study of "classified Knowledge" and its organization into patterns and hierarchies; all else was speculation.
The highest pillar of truth, he wrote, was the agreement of science and religion on one essential proposition: mankind was the center and purpose of the universe.
Science, in its public guise, adopted the scientific method as a means of achieving unity.

 ANTEBELLUM AMERICAN SCIENCE:
The gain was in the suggestion of a greater social impact for science when viewed in a causative relationship to material advancement, while it was loss that science as knowledge was overshadowed in public perceptions by the more obvious economic and life-changing consequences derivative from technology and invention.
Zoology in particular (and the life sciences more generally) constituted the largest area of interest for antebellum scientists, though this was followed closely by geology, which underscores the perception that American science was oriented to a significant degree toward study of the American environment.
Science and science-related employment accounted for 70% of the occupational total for scientists, and employment in multiple positions characterized two-thirds of the scientific population.

 New Page 1
At a time when science was coming of age in the new republic, Baconianism, or the "inductive method," provided a tried and true foundation and framework for the blossoming fields not only of natural science but also of all fields of inquiry where "facts" could be gathered.
In the midst of this period in which the population at large was clearly enamored of science and immersed in a popularized Baconian philosophy, Quimby began a journey from clockmaker and amateur scientist to mesmerist and mental healer.
While his religious ideas regarding science came as a later outgrowth of his discoveries and theories concerning healing, the seeds were germinating early on in his work with clocks, in his inventions, and in his apparent obsession with all things scientific.

Professor Bruce, a Boston University don with degrees in mechanical engineering and history, has the storyteller's gift: he has built a fascinating mosaic from thousands of dry, historical details.
As Bruce says, "Scientific emphasis, style, and institutions bear the stamp of a nation's culture and circumstances." At first, science did not make much of an impression in America.
For a long time, American science was pretty much a Northern, whitemale monopoly.
