Note: This workdiary has been
bound in Boyle Papers vol. 25 with workdiaries 34 and 35. We have distinguished
these three workdiaries on the basis of handwriting. This workdiary from the
1660s, written largely in Hand E, is on pp. 71-4, but is then interrupted by
pages 75-86, in Frederick Slare's and Warr's hands, who did not work for Boyle
during the same time as Hand E. These pages constitute Workdiary 35 from the
1680s. Workdiary 23 resumes on p. 87 to p. 94. Pp. 87-94, though, are badly
damaged. There is a large tear and various smaller holes at the bottom of the
folded foolscap sheet making up pp. 87-90 which render much of entries 28, 29,
35, 37, 38, 41, 48, 49, 50 illegible; much of the bottom of the folded foolscap
sheet making up pp. 91-4 has been torn off rendering many of these entries
illegible, if not completely missing (approximately the bottom fifth of pp.
93-4 is missing).
