A closely related example is illustrated and described in Claxton Stevens, Christopher and Wittington, Stewart 18th CENTURY ENGLISH FURNITURE, THE NORMAN ADAMS COLLECTION, page 463. The Royal Society scale thermometer was devised by Robert Hooke in 1664 and was calibrated to every degree representing an increase of 1/500 in volume of the thermometer liquid. The scale used the freezing point of water as the fixed point and was scaled from high to low with the increase of temperature. As the rate of expansion of the alcohol varied between instruments, each scale had to be individually made . For the instrument. The current Lot has a replacement silvered scale as the original paper scale had probably become to worn and discoloured to read. Hooke’s original thermometer was adopted and became known as the standard of Gresham College and used by the Royal Society until 1709.
