This is the first of a six volume edition of the correspondence of John Wallis, who was a central figure in the scientific revolution in 17th century England. The letters contained in this volume, which covers the mid-century, give unique insight into the scientific, cultural, and political developments of the time, against the background of the Civil Wars and the Commonwealth.
