Speculative Truth: Henry Cavendish, Natural Philosophy, and the Rise of Modern Theoretical Science by McCormmach, Russell. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780195160048.

With a never-before published paper by Lord Henry Cavendish, as well as a biography on him, this book offers a fascinating discourse on the rise of scientific attitudes and ways of knowing.

Through the lens of this unique thinker and writer, this book is about the birth of modern science.
