A dissertation on the knowledge of the ancients, in Astronomy and Optical Instruments; on the Physical Causes of the Earth's Diurnal and Annual Motions; on the Distances of the Planets from the Sun, and on its Magnitude. Wherein is demonstrated, that the composition of a projectile and gravitating force, cannot account for the motions of the planets; and that their Distances, and the Magnitude of the Sun, cannot be by much so great as generally esteemed.
