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unpublished manuscripts were entrusted to Richard Waller, who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,
an informa company.
