- Abstract
This essay considers two 1957 articles written by Charles Coulston Gillispie, “The Natural History of Industry” and “The Discovery of the Leblanc Process,” published in the volume 48 journal of "Isis," numbers 4 and 2 respectively. It argues that the articles were unique during the period for exploring the interrelationship between science and industry. Also explored is the influence of historian of science Alexandre Koyré and Robert K. Merton on Gillispie's writings, as well as Gillispie's books "Genesis and Geology" and "The Edge of Objectivity.
