TThis book deals with the economic and social aspects of scientific discovery in the seventeenth century, and was first published in 1937.

Many questions have been asked in recent years, and more will be asked in the future, about the place of science in our civilization. The most urgent are those which arise from the application of science to industry and transport: the questions whether we can secure the benefits of improved technology without the economic evils which they sometimes bring; and whether scientists themselves have the power to cure all the social evils which seem to arise from the misuse of science.

‘It is rare to find a book that sives such a complete satisfaction as this one. It contains all the virtues, fascination of subject, lucidity of style and distinction of thought combined with a scrupulous and exact scholarship.’- Economic Review.

‘It is packed with learning and wisdom, and is a valuable addition to the literature of this great period of English history.’- Times Literary Supplement.

‘It is a masterpiece both of sound and minute research and of good judgement and clear arrangement. It is a small book, but more pregnant of fertilizing ideas than any other of the same scale· which we can rocall.’ – Hibbert Journal.
