New photos on Commons from the Royal Society Library
[edit]As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Royal Society a special photo session in the Royal Society Library in London has resulted in Commons:Category:Royal Society Library, with over 50 photos of their treasures, mostly 17th century manuscripts, including several of the Blagden's diaries, the 1st edn of Sylva, one of the early minute books, Boyle's notebooks etc, the manuscript fair copy of Newton's Principia etc. Please add these as appropriate. Thanks! Wiki at Royal Society John (talk) 22:05, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
First *Western* scientist?
[edit]The article says Blagden was the first Western scientist to recognise the role of perspiration in thermoregulation. This suggests someone outside the West got there earlier, but no information is given either in the text or sources. If anyone knows who got there earlier, please add that in the text.
