The minutes of the scientific meetings of the Royal Society reveal 23 meetings attended by Richard Price between 1751 and 1764, when he was not yet a Fellow. Examining the names of the Fellows present and the subjects discussed in those meetings we were able to unfold a network of connections Price established at a very young age. Given the scarcity of details about Price's early career, our article sheds some light on this period in the life of a Fellow of the Royal Society with key contributions in several fields.
