A "lost" science manuscript by "England’s Leonardo" Robert Hooke, valued at £1 million, is to be auctioned:

The hand-written document – penned by Dr Robert Hooke – contains the minutes of the Royal Society from 1661 to 1682, experts said.

It was found in a house in Hampshire, where it is thought to have lain hidden in a cupboard for about 50 years.

    Poor old Hooke – a bitter, but brilliant man. His fights with Newton sound legendary.
