Sir Henry Lyons (1864-1944) was the Director of the Science Museum
and the Treasurer of the Royal Society in London. He began
researching this administrative history of the Society in 1940, and
managed to complete it shortly before his death from ill health. In
it, he reviews the way in which the Society's council governed its
affairs during the two and a half centuries in which it gained its
reputation in the scientific world. A brief bibliography is
supplied at the end of every chapter. This book will be of value to
anyone with an interest in the history of science and the creation
and continuation of the Royal Society.
