Thursday February 9, 2006
The Guardian

science has been found gathering dust in a cupboard in a Hampshire

yellowing and stained pages are the handwritten minutes of the Royal
Society as recorded by the brilliant scientist Robert Hooke, one of the
society's original fellows and curator of experiments.
