The Royal Society and the Invention of Modern Science

Guided by its motto Nullius in Verba (take no one’s word for it), the Royal Society grew from its foundation in 1660 as a ‘learned society’ of twelve natural philosophers and physicians to become a preeminent scientific institution. Adrian Tinniswood traces the difficulties of its early years, the establishment – and decline – of its Repository of curious artefacts, the much-needed reforms of the 1830s, and developments in the 20th century.
