Dr Oliphants Solution of Mr Boyles Probl: about the specifick Gravity of bodys, s.d.

 Item
Identifier: Coll-33/Folio C [94]
Scope and Contents

A basic problem in physics. The hand may not be Gregory's. ' Dr Oliphant' may be Charles Oliphant, disputant in a furore over an anonymous tract lampooning Archibald Pitcairne in 1695, or perhaps David Oliphant, librarian to Glasgow University 1691-1671. Item 94 in Quarto A happens to be titled, 'Memoranda pro Arch Pitcarnio et C. Oliphant'. See also unlabelled page between C 100 and C 102 (which is not C 101--that being out of sequence, glued to the back of C 97).
