'The Social Bias and Changing Fortunes of an Early Scientific Institution: An Analysis of the Membership of the Royal Society, 1660-1685', vol. 31, pp. 9-114 Notes: Hunter says this is definitely not the Rhode Island Roger Williams (c1603-1683), as the RS one was dead by 1666. In addition, the Rhode Island one was not in England in 1664 and was very anti-establishment. |
