A continuation of the two previous volume (Folger MS V.a.290-V.a.291), opening as a diary of Ward's stay in London with notes on many aspects of the natural sciences, medicine and its history, chemistry, and botany. Ward's chief purpose as he here remarks is to "studie such diseases as are peculiar to women and also to children and furnish myself so as to be ready especialy att [the]m when I come into [th]e country" (leaf 18v). Numerous references to London chemists and physicians (leaves 1r-130v, passim) and many notes on the botanical ideas of Edward Morgan and Robert Morison (leaves 27v-107, passim), with accounts of visits to their gardens, as well as Brook's (in Holburn) and Drapers' (in Throgmorton). Extensive extracts from Boyle's Sceptical Chymist (75r-107r, passim) and from Velthusius's Tractatus duo. Ward also writes about visiting St. Thomas' hospital and mentions Thomas Wharton and Mr. Hollyer (leaf 1r); watching demonstrations and hearing lectures at Barber-Surgeon's Hall (leaves 15v, 32v); seeing the beheading of Sir Henry Vane (leaf 64v), Jewish worship, Ben Jonson's Alchemist (leaf 117v); inquiring into the nature of the London companies. Also includes comments on the sermons he heard, among them ones by Baxter (leaf 14) and Ought (leaf 22v), libraries (leaf 170v), and the books he was reading or meant to read.
