Abstract
June 12, 1712.—In Devereux Court, Strand, are the Grecian Chambers. Until 1843, on this site stood the Grecian Coffee House, which two hundred years ago was a resort for the fellows of the Royal Society. Thoresby the antiquarian, in his diary for June 12, 1712, wrote: “Attended Royal Society, where were present the President, Sir Isaac Newton, both the secretaries, the two professors from Oxford, Dr. Hallev and Keill, with others, whose company we afterwards enjoyed at the Grecian Coffee House.”
