in wrote of hooke in principles of geology his treatise is the most philosophical production of that age in regard to the causes of former changes in the organic and inorganic kingdoms of nature 147 memory hooke s scientific model of human memory was one of the first of its kind in a 1682 lecture to the royal society hooke proposed a mechanical analogue model of human memory that bore little resemblance to the mainly philosophical models of earlier writers 148 this model addressed the components of encoding memory capacity repetition retrieval and forgetting some with surprisingly modern accuracy 149 according to psychology professor douglas hintzman hooke s model s most interesting points are that it allows for attention and other top down influences on encoding it uses resonance to implement parallel cue dependent retrieval it explains memory for recency it offers a single system account of repetition and priming and the power law of forgetting can be derived from the model s assumption in a straightforward way 149 other on 8 july 1680 hooke observed the nodal patterns associated with the modes of vibration of glass plates he ran a bow along the edge of a flour covered glass plate and saw the nodal patterns emerge 150 151 in acoustics in 1681 hooke showed the royal society that musical tones can be generated using spinning brass cogs cut with teeth in particular proportions 152 architecture church of st mary magdalene at willen milton keynes designed by hooke detail from ogilby and morgan s most accurate survey of the city of london and libertyes therof 153 robert hooke was surveyor to the city of london and chief assistant to christopher wren in which capacities he helped wren rebuild london after the great fire of 1666 154 hooke designed the monument to the great fire of london 1672 155 156 s montagu house in bloomsbury 1674 157 and bethlem royal hospital 1674 which became known as bedlam 158 other buildings hooke designed include the royal college of physicians 1679 159 aske s hospital 1679 160 ragley hall warwickshire 1680 161 the church of st mary magdalene at willen buckinghamshire 1680 162 and ramsbury manor wiltshire 1681 163 he worked on many of the london churches that were rebuilt after the fire hooke was generally subcontracted by wren from 1671 to 1696 wren s office paid hooke 2 820 in fees t more than he ever earned from his royal society and cutler lectureship posts 164 wren and hooke were both keen astronomers the monument to the great fire of london was designed to serve a scientific function as a zenith telescope for astronomical observation though traffic vibration made it unusable for this purpose 165 166 the legacy of this can be observed in the construction of the spiral staircase which has no central column and in the observation chamber which remains in place below ground level he also collaborated with wren on the design of st paul s cathedral hooke determined the ideal shape of an arch is an inverted catenary and thence that a circular series of such arches makes an ideal shape for the cathedral s dome 109 in the reconstruction after the great fire hooke proposed redesigning london s streets on a grid pattern with wide boulevards and arteries 167 for which wren and others also submitted proposals the king decided both the prospective cost of building and compensation and the need to quickly restore trade and population meant the city would be rebuilt on the original property lines 168 hooke was given the task of surveying the ruins to identify foundations street edges and property boundaries he was closely involved with the drafting of an act of common council april 1667 which set out the process by which the original foundations would be formally recognised and certificated 169 according to lisa jardine in the four weeks from the 4th of october hooke helped map the fire damaged area began compiling a land information system for london and drew up building regulations for an act of parliament to govern the rebuilding 170 stephen inwood said the surveyors reports which were generally written by hooke show an admirable ability to get to the nub of intricate neighbourly squabbles and to produce a crisp and judicious recommendation from a tangle of claims and counter claims 171 hooke also had to measure and certify land that would be compulsorily purchased for the planned road widening so compensation could be paid 172 in 1670 he was appointed surveyor of the royal works 173 hooke s precise and detailed surveys enabled the production in 1677 of ogilby and morgan s large scale map of london 153 the first known to be of a specific scale 1 1200 174 likenesses portrait conjectured to be hooke 175 but almost certainly jan baptist van helmont 176 no authenticated portrait of robert hooke exists a situation that has sometimes been attributed to the heated conflicts between hooke and isaac newton although hooke s biographer allan chapman rejects as a myth claims newton or his acolytes deliberately destroyed hooke s portrait 177 german antiquarian and scholar zacharias conrad von uffenbach visited the royal society in 1710 and his account of his visit mentions him being shown portraits of boyle and hoock which were said to be good likenesses but while boyle s portrait survives hooke s has been lost 10 178 in hooke s time the royal society met at gresham college but within a few months of hooke s death newton became the society s president and plans for a new meeting place were made when the royal society moved to new premises in 1710 hooke s was the only portrait that went missing 179 and remains so according to hooke s diary he sat for a portrait by renowned artist mary beale so it is possible such a portrait did at some time exist 180 conversely chapman draws attention to the fact that waller s extensively illustrated work posthumous works of robert hooke published shortly after hooke s death has no portrait of him 177 two contemporaneous written descriptions of hooke s appearance have survived his close friend john aubrey described him in middle age and at the height of his creative powers he is but of midling stature something crooked pale faced and his face but little below but his head is lardge his eie full and popping and not quick a grey eie he haz a delicate head of haire browne and of an excellent moist curle he is and ever was temperate and moderate in dyet etc brief lives 9 richard waller writing in 1705 in the posthumous works of robert hooke described the elderly hooke as to his person he was but despicable being very crooked tho i have heard from himself and others that he was strait till about 16 years of age when he first grew awry by frequent practising with a turn lath he was always very pale and lean and laterly nothing but skin and bone with a meagre aspect his eyes grey and full with a sharp ingenious look whilst younger his nose but thin of a moderate height and length his mouth meanly wide and upper lip thin his chin sharp and forehead large his head of a middle size he wore his own hair of a dark brown colour very long and hanging neglected over his face uncut and lank 63 on 3 july 1939 time magazine published a portrait supposedly of hooke but when ashley montagu traced the source it was found to lack a verifiable connection to hooke montagu found the two contemporaneous written descriptions of hooke s appearance agree with one another but that neither matches the portrait in time 181 in 2003 historian lisa jardine conjectured that a recently discovered portrait was of hooke 175 but this proposal was disproved by william b jensen of the university of cincinnati who identified the subject as the flemish scholar jan baptist van helmont 176 other possible likenesses of hooke include a seal used by hooke displays an unusual profile portrait of a man s head which some have said portrays hooke 177 the engraved frontispiece to the 1728 edition of chambers cyclopedia shows a drawing of a bust of robert hooke 182 the extent to which the drawing is based on a real work of art is unknown a memorial window existed at st helen s church bishopsgate london but it was a formulaic rendering rather than an accurate likeness 177 the window was destroyed in the 1993 bishopsgate bombing rita greer s imagined portrait of hooke in 2003 the amateur painter rita greer embarked on a project to memorialise hooke and produce credible images of him both painted and drawn which she believes match aubrey s and waller s descriptions of him greer s images of hooke which are free to use under the free art license have been used for television programmes in the uk and the us in books and magazines and for public relations 177 in 2019 larry griffing an associate professor in biology at texas a m university proposed that a portrait by mary beale of an unknown sitter and referred to as portrait of a mathematician is actually of hooke noting the physical features of the sitter in the portrait match hooke s the figure points to a drawing of elliptical motion that appears to match an unpublished manuscript created by him the painting also includes an orrery depicting the same principle according to griffing buildings included in the image are of lowther castle now in cumbria and its church of st michael the church was renovated under one of hooke s architectural commissions which beale would have known from her extensive body of work for the lowther family 1 according to griffing the painting would once have been owned by the royal society but was abandoned when newton its president moved the society s headquarters in 1710 1 christopher whittaker of the school of education university of durham england has questioned griffing s analysis according to whittaker it is more likely to be of isaac barrow 3 in a response to whittaker 2 griffing reaffirmed his deduction commemorations hooke memorial plaque in westminster abbey 3514 hooke an asteroid 1971 uj 183 a crater on the moon and another on mars are named in his honour the hooke medal is an annual award by the british society for cell biology to recognise an

civil year began on 25 march although common practice then as now was to start the year on 1 january thus his legal date of death was 3 march 1702 but was 3 march 1703 according to common usage and as shown here according to the dual dating practice at the time it would be recorded in church records as 3 march 170 2 3 4 wikipedia follows the convention adopted by most modern historical writing of retaining the dates according to the julian calendar but taking the year as starting on 1 january rather than 25 march according to the gregorian calendar that was used in most of europe he was born on 28 july 1635 and died on 14 march 1703 the deviation between the calendars grew from ten to eleven days between his birth and his death because the julian calendar had a 29 february 1700 but the
