We get a rich and fascinating view of Wallis's professional transactions during the Interregnum, and particularly his emergence as a mathematician of international stature. (Michael Hunter, Studies in the History and Philosophy of Science )
This is a first rate edition and a major scholarly accomplishment. The Correspondence of John Wallis is a trove for the historian of seventeenth century social and scientific life ... This edition is a must for every library and for every scholar whose interests touch upon the seventeenth century. (Paolo Mancosu, Studia Leibnitiana )
... will be of interest to historians of science and mathematics at all levels. (Zentralblatt MATH )
