Shortly after Hooke died in 1703, his miscellaneous papers and
unpublished manuscripts were entrusted to Richard Waller, who
edited and published some of them in a volume titled The Posthumous
Works of Robert Hooke (1705; reprinted, Frank Cass, 1968). Waller
himself died, however, before he was able to complete the task of
republishing Hooke's papers and they were eventually handed on to
William Derham. After delaying for what some of Hooke's followers
thought to be a scandalously long time, Derham finally published
this volume in 1726. It contains numerous papers and notes by Hooke
as well as a number of important papers and letters written by
Hooke's contemporaries and found, evidently, among Hooke's literary
remains. This is an exact facsimile reproduction of Derham's
edition of the Philosophical experiments and Observations of the
late Eminent Dr. Rober Hooke (1726) except that an analytical table
of contents, prepared by the General Editor, has been added. First
Published in 1967. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis,

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and
practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the

their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology,
agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even
cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled
