GB 0117 RSL 1737-1799 Sub-fonds 3 volumes of 149 items Various
Letters sent to the Royal Society, its President or Officers. Subject matter is both domestic and scientific. Domestic concerns include such matters as instructions from authors on the publication of papers. The letters on scientific topics appear to be those which were considered of small significance, e.g. giving notice of minor inventions, or appealing to the Society for recognition.
The letters and some printed material are arranged alphabetically by author within each volume. The series appears to be incomplete; volume 1 contains 49 items, only one of which dates from 1737 - the remainder date from 1768-1783. Volume 2 contains 47 letters dating between 1784-1787. Volume 3 contains 53 letters dated between 1787-1799.
