(p. 586) discuss the role of music and, in particular, his vibration theory as part of Hooke's scientific method and argue that music provided experimental and geometrical proof that ‘harmony existed in both macrocosm and microcosm’. Penelope Gouk, ‘The Role of Acoustics and Music Theory in the Scientific Work of Robert Hooke’, Annals of Science 37 (1980), 573–605 (p. 589), discusses Hooke's model of the memory and the role of vibration for bringing items to the ‘soul's’ attention.

- Among Hooke's papers at Guildhall Library, MS 175, were a number of reports from exotic parts. See Captain Minors Journal to Banham with good notes of the Variation and its use, 1671 (i); an account of ‘American Pirats’ (not in his hand but among his papers), ibid. (ii); ‘A Journal into the South Seas’ by Basil Ringrose, 1688, ibid. (iii); ‘An Account of the Voyage by the Emperor of China Into Western Tartary’, 1682, which Hooke seems to have translated into both English and French, ibid. (iv); ‘A Relation of the Moscow Envoy's Journey to China 1693’, ibid. (vii); ‘A Voyage of Evesco Petlin, a Muscovite into Tartary and Cathay 1620’, ibid.

Although this list is not exhaustive it is useful for comparative purposes. Matthews lists some 40 diaries in the sixteenth century; a further 70 to 1640; the decade of the civil wars produced another 50; while there were a further 70 recorded up to the time of Hooke's diary in 1672. Matthews labelled no more than twelve of all these ‘private’ in the manner of Hooke and Pepys.
