Title
Earl of Salisbury to Chief Justice Treby at York: "while your Lordship was on your circuit a friend of mine recommended to my acquaintance a very honest and learned gentleman, doctor St Clair, who for many years till Mr Boyles death had assisted that great man not onely in all his philosophical and mathematical experiments, but in preparing what he published on those subjects Whereupon I resolved to set aside an hour a day for two months to rub up my old notions and see them reduced into practice by a course of chymistry"; has been surprised to hear that Treby disapproves of such experiments - but perhaps "your Lordships name is onely made use of by peevish humorists to divert me from my purpose"; "... tis hard that the Temple which allows free egress and regress to all the dregs of Mankind ... should make difficulty of suffering a member of the society to receive visits from one of the most learned and ingenious mathematicians and philosophers in England ..."
