    PREFACE. pmfuant to the Will of the late Lady Sadleir *. 'The Foundation of my Scheme is laid upon thofe Hints which. Sir Ifaac Newton has given us in the Queries at the End: of his incomp a- ruble Booh of Qpticks; together with what Hr. Pemberton has faid in his very learned IntroduElion to Cowper on the Mufcles. How well it is executed is mofi humbly fubmitted to my Superiors. I do not know that I have advanced any thing inconffent with true Phi- lofophy ; or to any of the known Laws of the animal Oeconomy. I have the SatisfaSlion to fee, in the fecond Volume of the late Hr. Defaguliers’j experimental Philofophy §, that he approved of what I had formerly pub- lifloed, beyond all other Accounts of Mufcular Motion \ and I mufl confefs, that meeting with Countenance from fo good a fudge gave me great Encouragement to purfue the En¬ quiry.v * Whofe firfl Husband was Dr. Croone, and at bis Requejl theft Leisures were founded. § Page 393.
