Per Wikipedia John Gough 1757 -1825 Was A Blind English Natural And Experimental Philosopher Who Is Known For His Own Investigations As Well As The Influence He Had On Both John Dalton And William Whewell. His Family Belonged To The Society Of Friends. Before He Was Three Years Old Gough Was Attacked By Smallpox And Lost His Sight. In 1778 At The Age Of Twenty-One Gough Became A Resident Pupil Of John Slee A Mathematical Master At Mungrisdale Cumberland. From Around 1782 To 1790 He Enjoyed The Acquaintance Of John Dalton A Cousin Of George Bewley And Also A Lakeland Quaker Who Had Come To Kendal To Take Up A Position In Bewley's School. Dalton Assisted Gough By Reading Writing And Making Calculations And Diagrams On His Behalf. In Return Dalton Who Later Became One Of The Most Eminent Figures In Nineteenth-Century Science Was Tutored By Gough In Latin And Greek. Dalton Later Referred To Gough As A "Prodigy In Scientific Attainments." He Began To Act As A Private Tutor Of Mathematics To A Select Group Of Pupils From Northern England Whom He Prepared For University. The Subsequent Fame Of His Students Superseded His Own Celebrity. A Number Of Them Went On To Achieve High Distinction In The Mathematical Tripos And Subsequently In The Hierarchies Of University And Church. One Of Gough's First Students Was William Whewell Who Was With Him In 1812 And Later Described Gough As "A Very Extraordinary Person." Gough Had Wide-Ranging Scientific Interests. He Published Papers In Natural History Mechanics Mathematics Chemistry And Experimental Physics. One Of His Most Interesting Pieces Of Work Was An Investigation Into The Properties Of Natural Rubber Or Caoutchouc. He Was The First To Describe The Heat Released When A Rubber Band Is Quickly Stretched The Heat Being Detected By The Lips To Which The Band Is Pressed. When Stretched Rubber Is Heated It Contracts A Reversal Of The Normal Behaviour Of Materials When Heated. Gough Published These Results And Others In A Letter To The Manchester Literary And Philosophical Society In 1804. King Has Written That Through Dalton Gough Exerted An Indirect Influence Years Later On James Joule Who Undertook His Own Investigations Into Rubber Elasticity And Energy Changes And Specifically Referred To Gough's Earlier Studies.5 The Effect Eventually Became Known As The Gough-Joule Effect. Gough's Most Substantive Enquiry Was "An Investigation Of The Method Whereby Men Judge By The Ear Of The Position Of Sonorous Bodies Relative To Their Own Persons" Which Appeared In 1802 During An Ongoing Controversy With Another Former Quaker The Noted Natural Philosopher Thomas Young Over The Nature Of Compound Sounds. Among His Works In The Natural Sciences He Carried Out Experiments With Plants. He Had Developed The Skill Of Using His Upper Lip To Identify Plants By Touch And Reported The Hydrosere Succession As Freshwater Lakes Dry Out And Become Land. He Also Described Seed Banks In Soils. <br/> <br/> William Young hardcover
