- In his book Moraal en eigenbelang bij Thomas Hobbes en Adam Smith Amsterdam 1979 G. Manenschijn demonstrates that, for example, Smith indeed wants to apply Newton's investigative method, but that his metaphysical framework has been derived from Leibniz rather than from Newton.
- Mantell rose to prominence in both the Geological and Royal Societies, though he was the nonuniversity son of a provincial and scarcely literate shoemaker and was not, therefore, a ‘gentleman’. He has not fared well at Rudwick's hands. Mantell is mentioned, for example, three times in Rudwick's The Meaning of Fossils New York 1976 revised; with each mention including a significant mistake. In the present book too, Mantell is first denied his Wollaston Medal (p. 102) and then, having been misread, dismissed as ‘inexpert’ (p. 313).
