Third Continuation of the Letters, written to the Royal Society in London

Dobell #13: Letters 68 - 75

pp. viii + 351- 531

The eight letters are all numbered and continuously paginated. The figures are in the text and on 8 plates.

The front matter includes a six-page dedication to Queen Mary.

The volume also includes a letter from Richard Waller on pp. 430-433. Alle de Brieven / Collected Letters included it and dated it February 2, 1692, though that date is not in Leeuwenhoek's volumes. He published Waller's letter, with one figure (not included in the table below), between Letter 71 of March 7, 1692 and his reply, Letter 72 of April 22, 1692, addressed to Waller.
