Description

This book gives a fresh view of the formative years of Britain's oldest scientific institution, the Royal Society of London, founded in 1660. It consists of a series of detailed case-studies of key episodes in the Society's early evolution, based on the extensive documentation that survives. Taken together, these essays - most of them hitherto unpublished - give a telling picture of the process by which the institution developed and the book argues that the institutionalization of science in the late 17th century can only be properly understood if the intricacy of the interplay of ideals and realities is appreciated, and that the process had a momentum of its own which explains much about the way in which organized science was to develop.
