Abstract
ACCOUNTS of the lives, work and writings of some of the more prominent naturalists and men of science who flourished during the second half of the seventeenth century and the early years of the eighteenth, among whom may be mentioned Newton, Boyle, Hooke, Ray and Plot, have provided the subject-matter of a number of books published in recent years. A further addition to these studies has now been issued as a result of the labours of the late Dr. R. T. Gunther*. It forms volume 14 in the series “Early Science in Oxford”, and has been published posthumously, thanks to the cooperation of Dr. John Johnson, of the Oxford University Press.
