Zusatztext This is a remarkable and very welcome volume ... Technically, the edition is of a high standard. The text and apparatus are presented separately, with both commentary and textual notes at the end of the book, and it soon becomes intuitive to the user to flick backwards and forwards between the two ... the finishing touch is provided by a section of eight plates in full colour, most of them of manuscripts, which gives a fine sense of the material on which the volume is based. In all, this is a splendid book. Informationen zum Autor Felicity Henderson manages history of science events and exhibitions at the Royal Society.
