Extract
The inclosed paper was drawn up at a time when the subject engaged a more general attention among the learned, as long ago as the year 1748, and then designed to have been presented to your lordship's predecessor at the Royal Society, Mr. Folkes, to whom I had the honour of being well known; but, upon my being seized with an afflicting and long illness, which for some years disabled me for all literary enquiries, it lay by forgotten, till a gentleman's shewing some old dates at the Society of Antiquaries, when I was last in town, the memory of it recurred, and my inclination was awakened to search for it.
