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. As I hope their kind Acceptance will pro∣duce their thanks to you to whom they are justly due, so your Acceptance will incou∣rage me in the further prosecution of these Inquiries to approve my self,
Noble Sir,
Your most obliged, and most humble Servant ROBERT HOOKE.
From Gresham Colledge, March 25. 1674.
