Reviewed by Mario A. Di Gregorio, M.A., Ph.D., F.L.S., Darwin College, Cambridge. The more the scope of research in the history of science widens, and the more intriguing the problems it touches appear to us, the more we feel the necessity to refer to the original sources represented by unpublished material. Thus archives are now invaluable points of reference in our research. It often happens ...

transit ofVenus in that year. This was an important contribution to international collaboration in science in those early days when America was little known for its contributions to scientific achievement, apart from Franklin's important studies of electricity. The observatory found a further niche in American history when it was the scene of"a great concourse ofpeople" on 8 July 1776. From the...
