Adapt signature charter

I'm in the library of the Royal Society in London and the Society has one of the best autograph books in the world and this is Keith Moore who's our librarian who is going to introduce me to the book and show me the most interesting signatures here oh here's the Royal Society's charter book and if we open it you'll see immediately what's going on here it opens with the Royal coat of arms because of course we're the Royal Society and then you will find the Royal Society's own coat of arms with the motto nullius in verba take nobody's word for it and then the reason it's called the charter book is because the Royal Society's charters are reproduced in the text on the vellum here this is not on paper this is animal skin they're rather stiffer than paper they're slightly slick to the touch I'm wearing gloves so it's harder to feel that but you can actually if you run your fingers over you can feel the NAP of the the animal but you'll see this is really where the book gets very interesting indeed the first page of the signatures and the head of the list here is Charles the second he was there all studies first patron the man who put the royal into the Royal Society the other Royals here the one you've probably heard of his Prince Rupert who was interested in science is that ribbit from Prince Rupert's drop it is indeed so he did do experiments after all Society and elsewhere as the glass drops that he produced are quite famous each successive monarch and therefore each successive patron of the Royal Society gets their own highly decorated royal page and if I turn the page here this is the first page where you get the fellowship proper so these are the leading scientists from 1660 onwards and the book is a continuous record of all of the fellows of the Royal Society will one or two notable exceptions and if you examine this page you'll immediately begin to see the great scientists of the 17th century here we got there then said he would Robert Hooke down Bolton squeezed into the foot of the page yes John Wallace here and John Wilkins Christopher Wren's on this page as well and Christopher Wren who built sand Paul's Cathedral in London that's absolutely right well then let's turn the page and see if we can see Newton and here is quite quite a small signature and you can see immediately the man under Isaac Newton is being gradually raised because Newton so popular people was point to his signature and run their fingers along it and therefore it's just erasing the ink from the surface of the vellum people say is that really a sick Newton and rub out the poor guy underneath here's John Flamsteed the astronomer royal who is one of the people that you argued with and...
