Sir Isaac Newton
Reading edition
President of the Royal Society, &c.
SIR,
o Act under Your Influence, is to do Good, and to Study the Laws of Nature, is the Obligation I owe to the Royal Society, who have so wisely placed Sir Isaac Newton at their Head.
The following Piece, therefore, as I design it for the Publick Good, naturally claims Your Patronage, and, as it depends chiefly upon Rules in Nature, I am doubly obliged to offer it to the President of that Learned Assembly, whose Institution was for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge.
I am, Sir With due Respect, Your most obliged, Humble Servant, R. Bradley.
