deserves to be Recorded as One, and more especially by me whom you have honoured by establishing your first Lecturer. As an Earnest of others more considerable shortly to follow, I here present you with one of my Discourses in that Employment, which though short and plain, conteins somewhat of Information which the Learned have hi∣therto desired, though almost with despair.

Noble Sir, Your most obliged, and most humble Servant
From Gresham Colledge, March 25. 1674.
ROBERT HOOKE.
