William Wavell (1794-1866), one of the most prominent English encyclopedists of the 19th century, may rightly be considered the first major historian and philosopher of science. He wrote sixty-four scientific works on mechanics, dynamics, mineralogy, geology, astronomy, political economy, mathematics, architecture, theology, education, poetry, which were of significant scientific interest. Lyell once said that he once regretted that Wavell did not concentrate his energy as a specialist in one science, but later decided that he was most interesting as an outstanding "universalist".
