EVELYN PAPERS. Vols CLXXXVI-CLXXXIX. Manuscripts relating to Evelyn's project for publishing a verse translation with commentary of Lucretius' De rerum natura; 1656-1657. Only the translation of the first book was ever published. No manuscripts relating to the second book are known to survive. The project, which reflected Evelyn's interest in the new science as well as in classical literature and philosophy, is discussed in his letters to Sir Richard Browne of 1656-57 in Add. MS 78221. See also Keynes, Evelyn, a Study in Bibliophily, pp. 41-45, Michael Hunter, `John Evelyn in the 1650s', Science and the Shape of Orthodoxy (Woodbridge, 1995), pp. 67-97, and Michael M.
