Table of ContentsReviews'The book's primary focus upon the urban dimension of the weekly parliaments rather than their scientific or intellectual content pays real dividends. The richly documented and meticulous case-studies illuminate the impact of the congresses upon the towns involved ... By deploying a wealth of primary source materials, most of which have not been exploited by urban historians in this kind of way before ... this book offers a new and genuinely Britain-wide perspective on a period when comparison and competition between neighbouring places was a constant preoccupation of urban elites.' Urban History 'While the British Association for the Advancement of Science has long formed a subject of research for historians of science, Louise Miskell does a useful service by putting it in the context not of the reforms of the Royal Society or the foundation of disciplinary societies, but of other similar peripatetic associations and of the urban locations that hosted them.' British Journal for the History of Science Author InformationLouise Miskell is Senior Lecturer in the Department of History and Classics at Swansea University.
