#English #naturalist who introduced #microscopy to the general audience with papers on the #microscopical #examinations of water creatures and #fossils.
He made a series of pioneering #observations of crystal #morphology. Baker also developed new methods of teaching the #speech-impaired. The novelist, Daniel Defoe, was his father-in-law. Influenced by Baker's work, Defoe wrote a book about a deaf conjurer, The Life and Adventures of Duncan Campbell(1720).
Together, they established the Universal Spectator and Weekly Journal(1728).
Baker also publishedThe #Microscope Made Easy (1742), and Employment for the Microscope(1753).
