		The Academy was administered by Colbert (and later by Louvois) as part of the Bâtiments du roi, a vast department of which he was surintendant, whose wide-ranging responsibilities extended from massive projects like the building and upkeep of royal châteaux down to occasional payments for labour and materials.

		The greatest ambition of any moderately successful nineteenth-century French scientist was to become a member of the Academy of Sciences.
		Science Under Control is the first major study in any language of this elite institution, in a period that began with such influential figures as Laplace and Cuvier and extended to the time of Louis Pasteur and Henri Poincare.
		The author argues that the Academy was of importance not only nationally but also internationally, by its influence and by the establishment of certain procedures now considered basic to the organization of modern science.
