A satire on Sir Isaac Newton
The "prophecy lately fulfilled" refers to the "Ballad of the dragon of Wantley destroyed by Moore of Moore-hall" Cf. p. 4. The author contends that the ballad is prophetical of "The theology and philosophy in Cicero's Somnium Scipionis, explained; or, A brief attempt to demonstrate, that the Newtonian system is perfectly agreeable to the notions of the wisest ancients", a work by George Horne published anonymously in 1751. Cf. Halkett & Laing
