This date is supported by the
Royal Society website. Ornstein, in a chapter (pp.91-138) on the Royal Society, indicates that it grew out of informal weekly meetings in London that first began in 1645. At these meetings, people interested in the new experimental science gathered for discussions. Some members moved to Oxford around 1648-1649, and established separate meetings there. But by 1658 many had moved back to London. Gresham College in London became the focus of the meetings that led to the founding in 1660 of the Society. And in 1662, King Charles II granted the Society a Royal Charter, making it the Royal Society of London. On p.150 of The Timetables of Science (1988) we read that the Society was founded in 1660 as the Invisible College for the promoting of Physico-Mathematical Experimental Learning, and became the Royal Society for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge in 1663 when King Charles II sealed its charter. In section entitled History at the Royal Society website, we read [quotation copied 2000, October 27]: At first apparently nameless, the name The Royal Society first appears in print in 1661 and in the second Royal Charter of 1663, the Society is referred to as ‘The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge’. |

Philosophical Transactions: giving some accompt of
the present undertakings, studies, and labours of the

[Full-text of 1665-1666 (Vol. 1) to 1886 (Vol. 177) is available at Gallica: la bibliothèque numerique.] Harvard Univ. cat also has a record with the modern spelling account in place of accompt.

Abrégé des Transactions Philosophiques de la
Société Royale de Londres...
An abridged French translation of the first 75 vols. of the Philosophical Transactions edited (and translated in part) by Jacques Gibelin. This publication seems to have appeared in slightly different forms (different publication dates, and differing numbers of volumes). A catalogue record in the Bibliot. Nat. France cat. indicates the following contents for a set published 1789 - 1791 : Part 1 (Histoire naturelle), and Parts 2-3 (Botanique) were evidently translated by Jacques Gibelin. Part 4 (Physique expérimentale) was translated by a M. Reynier. Part 5 (Chimie), Part 6 (Anatomie et physique animale), and Part 7 (Médecine et chirurgie were translated by a M. Pinel. Part 8 (Matière médicale et pharmacie were translated by MM. Wilmet, Bosquillon and Pinel. Part 10 (Mélanges observations voyages, and Part 11 & Part 12 (Antiquités et beaux arts, inventions et machines) were translated by A. L. Millin de Grandmaison. It is unclear whether Part 9 was ever published. [Bibliot. Nat. France cat.; Scudder #1597a & b] |
