For many in the nineteenth century, the spoken word had a vivacity and power that exceeded other modes of communication. This conviction helped to sustain a diverse and dynamic lecture culture that provided a crucial vehicle for shaping and contesting cultural norms and beliefs. As science increasingly became part of public culture and debate, its spokespersons recognized the need to harness the presumed power of public speech to recommend the moral relevance of scientific ideas and attitudes. With this wider context in mind, The Voice of Science explores the efforts of five celebrity British scientists—John Tyndall, Thomas Henry Huxley, Richard Proctor, Alfred Russel Wallace, and Henry Drummond—to articulate and embody a moral vision of the scientific life on American lecture platforms. These evangelists for science negotiated the fraught but intimate relationship between platform and newsprint culture and faced the demands of audiences searching for meaningful and memorable lecture performances. As Diarmid Finnegan reveals, all five attracted unrivaled attention, provoking responses in the press, from church pulpits, and on other platforms. Their lectures became potent cultural catalysts, provoking far-reaching debate on the consequences and relevance of scientific thought for reconstructing cultural meaning and moral purpose.

Excerpt from Tribune Popular Science, 1874 Now let us consider the might that resides in the sun. If the sun was merely an orb very much larger than the earth, as we see he is. There might still not be the force necessary to the sun as a ruler over the earth. Let me give you an idea of how large the sun is. I am in the habit. In England, when I wish to speak of the size of the sun, of informing my audience that this country (england) in which we live, which seems to us so large. Is nevertheless small by comparison with the earth, for if the earth were one inch m diameter, England would be a small triangular speck, which you could scarcely recognize. But I am afraid that to an American audience that comparison would be im perfect. Ln fact, I have heard that an American traveling in England found the country so small that he at once sought the central counties, and was even then afraid to go out in the evening for fear of falling of the little island. [laughton] We in England, whether it be the natural courage of our disposi tion or the eiiect of long habit, are not troubled with that feeling. But even America is so small compared with the sun. That if there were a Spot upon the sun as large as the whole of America, it would be quite invisible to the naked eye. In deed. Ii an object as large as the earth were placed immediately before the sun, and there appeared as a black disk, it would nevertheless require a large telescope to make it visible; 108 times does the sun's diameter exceed that of the earth, and the surface of the sun exceeds that of the earth 108 times 108 times.
