This is the second volume of a six volume compendium on the
correspondences of John Wallis (1616-1703). Wallis was Savilian
Professor of Geometry at Oxford from 1649 until his death, and was
a founding member of the Royal Society and a central figure in the
scientific and intellectual history of England. Along with his role
as decipherer on the Parlimentary side during the Civil War, he
prepared the ground for the discovery of infinitesimal calculus by
Newton and Leibniz and played a decisive role in modernization of
English mathematics. This volume provides fascinating insight into
the life of Wallis through his correspondences with intellectual
and political figures of the latter part of the 17th century.
