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. ; 297 pages
