'Oct. 25. Wednesday. I went with the Prior to St. Cloud, to see Dr. Hooke.�We walked round the palace, and had some talk.�I dined with our whole company at the Monastery.�In the library, "Beroald",�"Cymon",�"Titus", from Boccace.�"Oratio Proverbialis" to the Virgin, from Petrarch; Falkland to Sandys;�Dryden's Preface to the third vol. of Miscellanies.'
[Boswell's footnote: 'He means, I suppose, that he read those different pieces, while he remained in the library'.]
