pp. 297, “Learned societies, such as the Royal Society of London and the Academie des Sciences of Paris, were a central feature of the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century. K. T. Hoppen shows that a study of the work and membership of these groups is essential before any realistic assessment can be made of the scientific world at this time. The present book provides a detailed examination of one such institution – the Philosophical Society which flourished at Dublin between 1683 and 1708 and numbered among its members Sir William Petty and George Berkeley.”Blank bookplate on FEP
