Book excerpt: Who pays for science, and who profits? Historians of science and of France will discover that those were burning questions no less in the seventeenth century than they are today. Alice Stroup takes a new look at one of the earliest and most influential scientific societies, the Acad�mie Royale des Sciences. Blending externalist and internalist approaches, Stroup portrays the Academy in its political and intellectual contexts and also takes us behind the scenes, into the laboratory and into the meetings of a lively, contentious group of investigators. Founded in 1666 under Louis XIV, the Academy had a dual mission: to advance science and to glorify its patron. Creature of the ancien r�gime as well as of the scientific revolution, it depended for its professional prestige on the goodwill of monarch and ministers. One of the Academy's most ambitious projects was its illustrated encyclopedia of plants. While this work proceeded along old-fashioned descriptive lines, academicians were simultaneously adopting analogical reasoning to investigate the new anatomy and physiology of plants. Efforts to fund and forward competing lines of research were as strenuous then as now. We learn how academicians won or lost favor, and what happened when their research went wrong. Patrons and members shared in a new and different kind of enterprise that may not have resembled the Big Science of today but was nevertheless a genuine "company of scientists."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Morisonian Herbarium in the Possession of the University of Oxford Together With Biographical and Critical Sketches of Morison, and the Two Bobarts and Their Works, and the Early History of the Physic Garden 1619-1720 The description of the botanical collections of the University of Oxford, which was begun with the volume on the herbaria of Dillenius published in 1907, is here continued with an account of the still more ancient herbarium of Morison, who was the first Professor of Botany in the University (1669-83), and of Jacob Bobart the younger. It would be altogether incomplete without some notice of the distinguished men who formed it; or without some reference to the early history of the Garden with which the herbarium is intimately associated. The Physic Garden. The first suggestion of the formation of such a garden is the following entry in Anthony Wood's History and Antiquities of the University of Oxford (ed. Gutch, 1796), vol. ii, Annals, p. 335: {Dom. 1620. {18 Jacobi. Saville's Benefaction being in a manner setled, motions were made for the founding of a Natural Philosophy Lecture, as also a Garden for Physical Simples. Which being kindly embraced by the University, care was taken for their settlement soon after, as it shall be elsewhere showed. Indefinite though this statement is, effective means must have been taken to realize the suggestion as regards the Garden, for in the following year a founder was forthcoming in the person of Henry Lord Danvers, who in his youth had been at Christ Church, and had subsequently served with distinction in both the army and the navy. Probably the idea commended itself to him because he had seen academic Physic Gardens in the course of his travels abroad; and he put it into execution when he was residing at Combury Park as Ranger of the Royal Forest of Wychwood. He secured a plot of land, about five acres in extent, which formed part of what was known in early times as 'Paris Meade'.
