Scientific Method and Prose Style in the Early Royal Society.
Walters, Frank D.
Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, v23 n3 p239-58 1993
Discusses two conflicts occurring during the first decade of the Royal Society (1660-70) that questioned the proper writing style for communicating scientific knowledge: the taxonomists' method versus the conjecturalist method. Suggests parallels are present in contemporary issues and presents implications for teaching, practice, and theory. (NH)
