active approximately 1808 Tom Tit

Writing as Tom Tit, Arthur Good was a French journalist and popular science author. He became especially well known for La Science amusante, a series of books filled with experiments, tricks, and practical demonstrations designed to make scientific ideas easy and entertaining.

His approach was clear and welcoming rather than technical, which helped his books reach a broad audience. Alongside his science writing, he also worked as an illustrator and caricaturist, showing the same playful spirit that made his experiments so memorable.

The date you gave appears to be off: the sources I found connect Tom Tit with Arthur Good, who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, not around 1808. If you meant a different "Tom Tit," I can look further.
