The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Supplementary Letter and Papers

Reference number: L&P/13

Date: c.1732-1810

Description

Uncollected papers submitted to the Royal Society for publication in the 18th century.

The series commences with manuscripts from the 1730s, which should have been gathered into either of the two original sequences of communication, Early Letters and Classified Papers.

Later manuscripts date to the 1810s, material that would naturally be gathered into the combined Letters and Papers set of guardbooks.
