Diary entry 5 June 1712 I after walked to the Royal Society, where I met with some very agreeable company, besides the President (Sir Isaac Newton) and both the Secretaries, viz., the noted Dr. Edmund Halley and Mr. Keil, both Professors at Oxford, Mr. Derham, &c., with whom afterward, at the Grecian Coffee-house: after my return, took a walk into the fields, with Mr. Gale and Lawyer West; and in our way home called at Mr. Britton’s, the noted small-coalman, where we heard a noble concert of music, vocal and instrumental, the best in town, which for many years past he has had weekly for his own entertainment, and of the gentry, &c., gratis, to which most foreigners and many persons of distinction, for the fancy of it, occasionally resort. |
