Abstract
So far as I know, the Diary which Dr. Gunther has transcribed had not been published when I wrote the article in question. This alone is sufficient to account for my not having read it. I may add that Waller himself says ” the greater part of my Vouchers have been either taken out of his own Memorials or from the Journals of the Royal Society”, and although it is clear from his biography of Hooke that he had spoken with his subject on more than one occasion, there is nothing in it that bespeaks intimacy.
