Abstract:
Although consistently recognized as desirable by both the Royal Society and the Académie des Sciences, translations of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society were only infrequently undertaken officially. More successful were some private attempts, which by the end of the eighteenth century had produced a virtually complete translation, albeit only of Lowthorp's abridgements.

Abstract:
Fellows of The Royal Society have been interested in weather from the earliest years of the Society. When John Locke was in Montpellier in 1676 he made many observations of the weather, which are in his unpublished Journal . Edmond Halley collected observations of winds worldwide from sea captains and published a chart of the trade winds in Philosophical Transactions . Robert Hooke devised a barometer for use at sea. Present Fellows are deeply involved with questions of change of climate. Our Archivist assembled a number of items from the Library for the New Frontiers in Science Soirées last year in an exhibition entitled ‘From Hooke to Houghton. Meteorology and The Royal Society’, which showed the continuing study by Fellows of weather and climate over three centuries. We reproduce some of the pictures here as a sample of those studies.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the finances of the Royal Society and its Philosophical Transactions , showing that in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries journal publishing was a drain on funds rather than a source of income. Even without any expectation of profit, the costs of producing Transactions nevertheless had to be covered, and the way in which this was done reflected the changing financial situation of the Society. An examination of the Society's financial accounts and minute books reveals the tensions between the Society's desire to promote the widespread communication of natural knowledge, and the ever-increasing cost of doing so, particularly by the late nineteenth century.

Abstract:
John Hill (1714–1775), a brilliant man of many talents, was extremely productive, having produced more than a hundred books and pamphlets on a wide range of subjects, but despised by most contemporaries for his egotistical, argumentative, and provocative manner and for his slanderous writings that resulted in many heated disputes, among scientists and literati alike. Rejected in his attempts to join the Royal Society of London, he began a campaign of criticism and derision against the Society, its president, Martin Folkes (1690–1754), and the Philosophical Transactions, by publishing, under a pseudonym, satires on the Society that destroyed his chances of ever being elected to that body. Accusations of plagiarism followed much of his work. A previously unnoticed example of his wholesale lifting of the classification of fishes published in 1738 by Swedish naturalist Peter Artedi (1705–1735), is described. As for the Royal Society, Hill’s persistent satirization, which was mixed with sound critical advice, is said to have done more to improve the quality of the Philosophical Transactions than any other contemporary effort.

Abstract:
We discuss the context, content and importance of the paper ‘The population dynamics of microparasites and their invertebrate hosts’, by R. M. Anderson and R. M. May, published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society as a stand-alone issue in 1981. We do this from the broader perspective of the study of infectious disease dynamics, rather than the specific perspective of the dynamics of insect pathogens. We argue that their 1981 paper fits seamlessly in the systematic study of infectious disease dynamics that was initiated by the authors in 1978, combining effective use of simple mathematical models, firmly rooted in biology, with observable or empirically measurable ingredients and quantities, and promoting extensive capacity building. This systematic approach, taking ecology and biology rather than applied mathematics as the motivation for advance, proved essential for the maturation of the field, and culminated in their landmark textbook of 1991. This commentary was written to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society .

Abstract:
This paper explores the contested afterlife of Philosophical Transactions following the death of its founder, Henry Oldenburg. It investigates the complex interrelation between the institution and the periodical at a time when the latter was supposedly independent, and outlines the competing proposals for institutional publishing in science contemplated in the Royal Society, linking some publications that were actually attempted to those proposals and to the Society's attempts to revitalize its experimental programme between 1677 and 1687. It argues that the Society was concerned to produce experimental natural knowledge over which it could claim ownership, and intended this work for publication in other venues than Transactions , whereas the periodical was seen as a more suitable site for work reported to the Society than for research that the institution had primarily produced. It was only from the early 1690s, after the collapse of the Society's experimental programme, that Transactions gradually became a more straightforward reflection of the mainstream of Royal Society activity, paving the way for its formal reinvention as the official publication of the Society in 1752.

Abstract:
The Royal Society of London and the Philosophical Transactions (PTRS) have played an important role in the promotion of science and knowledge ever since their founding in the 1660s. Not only the British but also scholars and researchers from all over the world ‒ among whom many Italians ‒ have been interested in corresponding with the Society, becoming members and/or publishing on the Society’s journal. The PTRS thus became a focal point of cultural interaction between researchers from different countries. Moreover, by considering the journal in diachronic perspective we can see the gradual development of present-day scientific writing. My purpose is to investigate Italian contributions the Philosophical Transactions from a linguistic, historical and cultural perspective focusing on English and Italian relationships from the journal’s creation in 1665 up to the end of the 19th century. In this respect, the present piece of research focuses on a largely unexplored area in the history of Anglo-Italian socio-cultural relations, that is to say the scientific interactions between English and Italian researchers at the time when modern science was born and developed. The present study is a historical and critical linguistic analysis of PTRS articles written by Italians or based on Italian research and by analysing English and Italian relations through the papers and the epistolary exchanges of the scientists from the two countries. The aim from the linguistic perspective is to describe the features and development of Italian and Italian-research-inspired scientific writing in the Transactions; and ultimately, from the historical and cultural point of view, to provide a picture of Anglo-Italian relations in scientific context. The critical linguistic analysis of the primary sources here becomes functional to an objective analysis of cultural relations. It moreover adds to the existing research on the development of scientific writing by providing a study that is focused on a culturally-restricted group of papers and distinguishes between the sources of the writings. Comments and descriptions on editorial and translation practices will also be provided.

This chapter examines George Gabriel Stokes’s almost four decades of service to the Royal Society. As Secretary from 1854 to 1885, Stokes devoted an enormous amount of time and effort to editing the Royal Society’s Philosophical Transactions and Proceedings. In this role, he acted as both gatekeeper and mentor to a generation of scientists. The same qualities that made Stokes, as Secretary, an excellent steward of the ‘internal scientific work’ of the Royal Society, were sometimes at odds with the political challenges he faced as Royal Society President, an office he held from 1885 to 1890.

Abstract:
This chapter explains why music was so important to English natural philosophers in the seventeenth century and identifies the key scientific literature on the subject. In this period the term ‘science’ denoted a body of theoretical texts while ‘experimental philosophy’ was nearer to modern understandings of scientific endeavour, and it is this aspect of musical science that is chiefly focused on here. In his Sylva Sylvarum (1626) Francis Bacon advocated the investigation of music and sound (acoustics), while a decade later in his Harmonie Universelle Marin Mersenne established the musical laws governing pitch and frequency (harmonics). These books had a demonstrable influence on the early activities of the Royal Society, and musical topics soon appeared in its Philosophical Transactions, the first scientific journal to be published. Isaac Newton used his knowledge of Mersenne’s laws to help him mathematise the transmission of sound, light, and planetary motion. Newton also speculated on the division of the colour spectrum into ratios corresponding to the seven notes of the musical scale.

Abstract:
The next Franco-Spanish objective was Jamaica. The biggest and richest of the sugar islands, a crucial resource for the British Treasury with a white population completely loyal to the Crown. The joint forces for the invasion were to be gathered in Guarico, today’s Haiti, but the complex preparations and coordination between the two allies kept delaying their departure. When a French fleet under the command of the Count de Grasse was on its way to the rendezvous with the Spanish forces, it was defeated by Admiral Sir George Rodney (Battle of the Saints, April 1782), and the invasion had to be postponed. In the end, an armistice was agreed before the planned attack took place. Bernardo de Gálvez returned and his family travelled for the first time to Spain in September 1783. In Madrid he was frequently consulted on North American affairs and while he waited for his next assignment he became interested in the military applications of hot-air balloons, to the point of conducting an experiment recorded in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. In late 1785, Gálvez was appointed Cuba’s Governor, but with the death of his father, who was New Spain’s viceroy, he was appointed as his successor.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper addresses some of the wider issues in the design process for complex vessels with regards in particular to the design of naval ships and submarines. The presentation is given from the perspective of a British naval constructor, who spent the second half of his career teaching and researching into the design of complex vessels. This is presented to SNAME drawing on parallels with US Navy design practice from the author’s personal involvement in the design history of many of the designs that were built for the Royal Navy. A large number of the author’s publications have not been exposed directly to a SNAME audience so this paper compares and contrasts UK practice with that revealed particularly in the publications of the former Technical Director NAVSEA –Robert Keane – and his several co-authors. The paper’s title is deliberately contrived in its alliteration commencing with a phrase taken from an early critique of systems engineering by an eminent British naval constructor, querying whether systems engineering could provide the philosophical basis for modern naval ship design (NSD). The third “B” is considered to be a key technical characteristic in designing such complex systems, that of achieving a balanced design. In this regard the paper questions why the other major stakeholders in NSD, including collaborating engineers other than naval architects, seem to have such difficulty in appreciating the nature of ship design, particularly in the crucial early stages when most critical design decisions are made. The author draws upon a major paper published in 2018 in the RINA Transactions together with its written discussion by Robert Keane among others. A major point made in that paper is that not all designs follow the same process – in fact every new design is different and therefore the applicability of any process needs to be challenged. However, the intent of the current paper is to go beyond the largely technical argument of the 2018 paper by addressing the wider “fuzzy” half of ship design, in particular regarding the environment in which such “sophisticated” design is undertaken. Furthermore the consequences for the resulting vessels from such a constrained and often fraught process and professional practice are relevant to achieving the final complex design entity. The paper concludes by considering essential design engineering demands can be balanced with the pragmatic necessities of the design practice driven by the imperatives of the wider design environment and engineering practice. This consideration draws on not just the many and varied naval vessel projects the author has been involved in but also the subsequent research activities in the last two decades at University College London, where the UK naval constructors are trained in ship and submarine design. This leads on to considering how future research into complex ship design can be sustained through a mix of academic and practitioner collaboration. Finally, consideration is given to the complexities of the design environment and changing practices regarding how the profession of naval architecture can ensure future naval architects are best equipped to manage such complex ship and submarine designs. This applies not just in the Concept Phase but also through life as naval architecture is the only engineering discipline that can truly exercise design authority for such complex systems.
