Extractions: W. P. Watson Antiquarian Books HOOKE, Robert Micrographia: or some Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies made by Magnifying Glasses. With Observations and Inquiries thereupon... London, John Martyn and James Allestry, 1665 Folio (290 x 194 mm), pp. [xxxvi] 246 [10], title printed in red and black, engraved arms of the Royal Society on title, and 38 engraved plates, of which 33 are folding; six plates (viii, ix, 21, 23, 28 and 32) just touched by binder's knife, a few minor tears repaired, a very clean, crisp copy with fine impressions of the plates, in early eighteenth-century tree calf, gilt greek key border on sides, minor repair to hinges. £45,000 In addition to its contributions to microscopy, Micrographia contains many other important inventions and discoveries, including the wheel barometer and a new hygrometer. Micrographia also 'presents the first substantial opposing theory to the Pythagorean concept of light as a stream of particles,' hypothesising 'that light is a vibration transmitted through a medium' (Parkinson, Breakthroughs). Hooke's research was the inspiration for Newton's optical experiments leading up to his Opticks.

Curates were notoriously underpaid, and Hooke was apparently left without much when his father died. However, a dead father is a different affair from a living one, and I see enough uncertainty that I will mark financial status as unknown. 3.

Extractions: Von Hooke selbst existiert keine Abbildung. Ein Grund dafür könnte sein, dass sich Robert Hooke schämte, seine unvorteilhafte Gestalt und sein unschönes Gesicht abzeichnen zu lassen. Wir geben dafür an dieser Stelle seine berühmteste Abbildung wieder, die Korkzellen aus seinem Werk Micrographia. Hooke war ein erfolgreicher Experimentator, der sich der empirischen Methode von Bacon verpflichtet hatte. Er leistete auch auf vielen anderen Gebieten Bahnbrechendes, so in der Optik, Geologie und eben auch in der Biologie. Mit seinen Bildern konnte er die Zellennatur von Pflanzen zeigen. Der Begriff der Zellen geht auf seinen Versuch zurück, die beobachteten Poren in dem Korkgewebe zu beschreiben.

Extractions: Hooke, Robert Micrographia . London: Printed by Jo. Martyn and Ja. Allestry, 1665. This seminal work on microscopy is more noted for its impressive engravings of magnified insects than for its contributions to lunar topography. The work, however, contains the very first attempt to delineate a particular lunar feature, in this case the crater Hipparchus, which is just south of the center of the moon. Hook also attempted to determine whether lunar craters were formed by impact or by volcanic action. He dropped balls into wet clay to simulate impact, and heated alabaster to produce bubbling volcanoes, and decided that the moon more closely resembled the pock-marked alabaster. To make this drawing, Hooke used a 30-foot long telescope and observed just before first quarter, when the shadows were strong. His drawing can be favorably compared with those of later observers see items 13 and and is a considerable improvement over the undefined circles that appear on the maps of Hevelius or Riccioli. Hooke further suggested that since the floor of Hipparchus reflected less light than the mountain tops, perhaps it was covered with vegetation and might be, in his words, a "fruitful place".

Hamerton, Etching and Elclzers (London, 1877). HOOK, THEODORE EDWARD (17881841), English author, was born in London on the 22nd of September 1788. He spent a year at Harrow, and subsequently matriculated at Oxford, but he never actually resided at the university. His father, James Hook (17461827), the composer of numerous popular songs, took great delight in. exhibiting the boys extraordinary musical and metrical gifts, and the precocious Theodore became See the Rev. R. H. D. Barharns Life and Remains of hook (3rd ed, 1877); and an article by 5. G. Lockhart in the Quarterly Review itlay 1843). HOOK, WALTER FARQUHAR (17085875), English divine, nephew of the witty Theodore, was born in London on the i3th of March 1798. Educated at Tiverton and Winchester, he graduated at Oxford (Christ Church) in 1821, and after holding an incumbency in Coventry, 18291837, and in Leeds, 1837 i85~, was nominated dean of Chichester by Lord Derby. Tic received the degree of D.D. ifl 1837. His friendship towards the Tractarians exposed him to considerable persecution, but his simple manly character and zealous devotion to parochial work gained him the support of widely divergent classes. His stay in Leeds was marked by vigorous and far-reaching church extension, and his views on education were far in advance of his time. Among his many writings are An Ecclesiastical Biography, containing the Lives of Ancient Fathers and Modern Divines (8 vols., 18451852), A Church Dictionary, The Means of Rendering more Effectual the Education of the People, Tire Cross of Christ (1873), The Church and its Ordinances (sermons, ~ vols., 1876), and Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury (12 vols., 18601876). He died on the 20th of October 1875.

He went to school at Oxford He was a M.D. at Doctors' Commons in 1691. Hooke was employed by Robert Boyle to construct the Boylean air pump. He discovered the law of elasticity, which became known as Hookes law. His law laid the basis for studies of stress and strain and for understanding of elastic materials. He applied his studies in his designs for the balance springs of watches. He was appointed curator of experiments to the Royal Society of London. He was elected a fellow. He was one of the first men to build a Gregorian reflecting telescope. Hooke discovered the fifth star in the Trapezium and an asterism in the constellation Orion. He was the first to suggest that Jupiter rotates on its axis. Hookes detailed sketches of Mars were used in the 19th century to determine that planets rate of rotation. He was professor of geometry in Gresham College. He studied the crystal structure of snowflakes, discussed the possibility of manufacturing artificial fibers by a process similar to the spinning of the silkworm, and first used the word cell to name the microscopic honeycomb cavities in corks in
