My father is very keen on Hooke, and the five volumes I have (which
were bought for him as a birthday present by my mum. They were
previously owned by Margaret 'Espinasse, who wrote an authoritative
biography of Hooke also cited as a source in the article.
We paid, I think, £300 around 1985, but we don't have the other 11
volumes, and they are not a matched set.
