SUMMARY: This volume treats a remarkable period in the history of science in France. The articles in the first of its two sections concerned with patronage and institutions explore the structures that fostered research and the diffusion of scientific and technological knowledge not only in the great institutions under state control but also in the very different world of the independent academies and the many scientific and industrial societies in Paris and the provinces. The second section focuses on the physical sciences in particular the physics of heat and the imponderable fluids and their relations with experimental and technological practice. It contains studies of figures of outstanding importance in the history of French science including J.H. Lambert P.S. de Laplace and Sadi Carnot. Taken together the articles provide a coherent picture of a nation's science over a period of a century developing a methodological perspective that unites cognitive and social considerations.

"In Quebec and Related Silver at The Detroit Institute of Arts a catalogue of pieces from the Institute collection virtually the entire history of silverscarfting in Quebec can be traced. The reader is introduced to the work of many master silversmiths nineteen of them known others still anonymous. The biographies which Fox provides are the result of intensive research in the archives of churches museums and other depositories. Often he has discovered information about the lives of these men which has not been known until now. In his introductory essay Fox explains why silver was of major importance in Quebec society and then traces the stylistic development of the art up to the late nineteenth century. Each piece in the catalogue is described in detail with particular emphasis on construction. The metallic composition of the objects has been closely analyzed in order to detect modern repairs replacements or outright forgeries. This elemental analysis carried out at te Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum represents a pioneering effort and will be of intense interest to collectors and scholars. Forty-eight pieces are covered in the catalogue and for comparative purposes or detail sixty-two figures are shown. The catalogue contains an extensive bibliography a glossary appendixes and an index." - dust jacket description. Wayne State University Press hardcover books
