INTRODUCTION

Cf Schaffer, "Glassworks;" Shapiro, "The Gradual acceptance" for two different versions about this dispute.

2 C.f. Bennett, Hooke and Wren, 37; De Gandt, 6-7. 3 The correspondence has been presented and interpreted in various Ievels of

details by Westfall, "Hooke;" Force, 424-431; and Never at Rest, 382-388; Nauenberg, "Hooke;" Lohne, "Hooke versus Newton;" Whiteside, "Before the Principia," 9-15; "Prehistory," 20-24; and "Newton's early Thoughts," 129-137; Erlichson, "Newton's 1679/80 Solution," 728-729 and "Newton and Hooke," 56-62; Pugliese, "Robert Hooke:" 182-186.

4 Kepler adopted this proportion citing Aristotle (Copernicus took it on the authority of Euclid's Optics), and reasoned from it to his second law, viz.; that the (vector radii to the) planets sweep equal areas in equal times. He then realized that the two 'laws' are not equivalent, and abandoned the Aristotelian one for his own. There is no indication in Hooke's Ietter that he is aware of the relation or the difference between the proportions. See Barker and Goldstein; Wilson, "From Kepler Laws:" 96-98 for details.

5 Westfall, Force, Chapter 5. 6 U nless otherwise stated, all italics, capital letters and other stresses used in

citations, especially from primary sources, are original. I have also kept the original spelling, and avoided 'sie.' as much as possible. The pages of the Micrographia's Preface arenot numbered, and I have assigned Roman numerals to them starting with Brouncker's acknowledgment on the frrst page.

CHAPTER 1: INFLECTION

C.f. Heri vel, 192-198: MS IVa; and Hall, "Newton on the Calculation of Centtal Forces," 63-64. An extensive analysis of theses two issues and the relations between them see Pugliese, "Robert Hooke," 181-205. For a discussion of Wren's claims to priority of this idea, see Bennett, "Hooke and Wren," esp. 33-39.

2 Hall, "Two Unpublished lectures," 226: Address to the Royal Society, February 19, 1690.

3 A notable exception is Whiteside's, "Newton's Early Thoughts," and especially "Before the Principia." See my reference to the latter bellow. There are other mentions of the Address, but there are usually cursory, such as Puglisese's "Robert Hooke," 194-198.

NOTES

Descartes' accounts. Astronomia Nova, Part III, Chapters 33-37 and Part IV, Chapter 57. Principia Philosophice, Part III, Article 57. "Species ergo mota in gyrum, ut eo motu Planetis inferat, corpus Solis, seu fontem, una moveri necesse est; non quidem de spacio in spacium mundi: dixi enim me id corpus Solis cum COPERNICO in centro mundi relinquere: sed super suo centro, seu axe, imrnobilibus; partibus ejus de loco in locum (in eodem tarnen spacio, toto corpore manente) trancentibus." (Kepler, Werke, 3rct vol., 243)

8 "Et cum differentia perenium temporariorumque corporum sequatur in eorundem etiam motus; circulares vtique revolutiones erunt perenium corporum; seu Sol moueatur, seu eius loco Tellus; rectilinei ver~ vanescentium: habent enim vtrique conditionis suae causam in forma quisque sua: aeternitatis in circulo, motilitatis in linea recta, quae infinita vtique nequit esse." (Kepler, De Cometis, 93-94. Cited by Ruffner, 192)

9 C.f Miller and Miller's footnotes to their translation of these Articles. In Chapter 3 (section 2.2.3) I touch summarily upon Huygens' grappling with the notion of radial centrifugal forces.

10 I am thankful to the anonymaus Kluwer referee who directed my attention to these Articles in the Principia Philosophice.

11 McGuire and Tamny, 167-175. 12 Herivel, 192-198: MS IV, Hall, "Newton on the Calculation of Centrat Forces,"

63-64 and Whiteside, "Before the Principia," 11. 13 Concerning the former see McGuire & Tamny. In the debate concerning the

latter Whiteside ("Newton's Early Thoughts") maintains that this knowledge was limited, while Russell ("Kepler's Laws") holds a morefavorable opinion.

15

Whiteside ("Newton's Early Thoughts" and "Before the Principia") makes the clearest case concerning Newton's difficulties to abandon centrifugal for centripetal force, even after the correspondence with Hooke. In her Janus Faces of Genius the late Betty Jo Dobbs has convincingly shown just how difficult it was for Newton to finally assimilate Hooke's challenge in its own terms and abandon his alchemically motivated vortical notions ( c.f 117-132). Dobbs, however, concentrates more on the notion of gravitation than on that of encurvation or bending. Whiteside ("Before the Principia," 14) makes a similar point.

NOTES 209

19 Birch II, 272: July 6, 1663. 20 C.f Harwood in Hunterand Schaffer, 119-147; 'Espinasse, 42-59; Drake, 23-32. 21 I have tried to consistently follow the philosophical convention by writing

'inflection' in single quotes when referring to the linguistic object-the term as it appears in Hooke's texts, and inflection without quotes when using it the way Hooke hirnself does. The decision whether to use quotes or not was often more difficult than expected.

22 Or perhaps intermittent-I am not sure whether Hooke is settled on this issue. 23 This depiction of the behavior of light in the atmosphere seems to have been

more readily incorporated by Hooke' s contemporaries than either his term or the further uses he has made of it. This is suggested by the following lines, taken from Lowthrop's introduction to some observations on refraction: "The Air being no uniform Fluid, the Rays of Light are not refracted in any one terminated Superficies, but continually into a Curve" (Hooke, Philosophical Experimentsand Observations, 338).

24 In the version of this Chapter in my "Producing Knowledge in the Workshop" I wrongly claimed that the 'attractive principle' in this experiment is represented by the chord. The exact representation of this 'endeavour' does not affect the argument here, but it will have some bearing on the discussion in Chapter 2 and I will attain to it in detail there.

25 In his Cometographia of 1668 Hevelius used the Latin form of the verb in a similar manner: " ... Cometre neutiquam in exquisia linea rectä, ut quidem Keplerus, alliq; arbitrati sunt, sed in linea ex parte inflexä, & incurvata, cujus concavita pepetuo Soli prona est ... " (658, cited by Ruffner, 194, f. n. 43). Though published two years after the Address, most of Hevelius work on the Cometographia was simulaneous with Hooke's Micrographia. The delay was caused by the debate (and scandal) over the comet of 1664, during which Hevelius turned to the Royal Society to argue his case. Whether the term 'inflection', in the sense discussed here, came up in that correspondence and, if it did, by whom, I simply do not know. Note, however, that Hevelius uses 'inflection' in a manner closer to Hooke's use in the Micrographia then in the Address, namely; as bending rectilinear motion into an open curve. He employs it to account for slight variation of the ephemeral comets from rectilinear projection, which he explicitly opposed to the perpetual revolutions of perfect, etemal planets.

26 c onceming agency in science c.f Gooding, Experiment and Latour, We Have Never been Modem.

27 Rorty is somewhat prone to this approach, c.f Hesse and Rorty, "Unfamiliar Noises," 296 and 2nd Interlude bellow.

28 In my "Tropes and Topics" I called this function of language 'tropical meaning.' 29 Somewhat similar to what I termed the "topical force" of central theoretical

terms in structuring scientific texts ("Tropes and Topics").

210 NOTES

30 In his Culterian Lecture Helioscopes (Gunther, vol. 8., 119-152. Henceforth:

31

C.L.) Hooke presents a somewhat similar line of technological inquiry: various ways of compounding reflecting mirrors in order to control the amount of light reaching the eye and enable observation of the sun. Hooke notes that 'single microscope,' one of a single lens, has, in fact, 'double refraction,' and a double microscope has four refractions, as the ray is refracted once upon entering the lens and once upon exiting it (C.L., 312).

32 Hooke adds: "but this, for other inconveniences, I made but little use of' but does not specify what were these "other inconveniences."

This was a hierarchy that Hooke hirnself acutely experienced. See Shapin, "Who Was Robert Hooke?'' and Pumfrey. For analysis of its epistemological significance see Shapin, Social History of Truth. These citations are from Hooke's "General Scheme ... of the Present State of Natural Philosophy and How its Defects may be Remedied ... " published in Waller's posthumaus edition of Hooke's works (Hooke, Posthumaus Works, 1-70). I bring them here by way of suggestion-my main arguments are going to be drawn from Hooke' s actual scientific work, rather than his didactic presentations. However, this particular work does read as a real methodological treatise by a highly experienced practitioner, and not merely a collection of Baconian commonplaces, and is therefore worth more attention than I can dedicate to it here. 'Of poor origins' would have been more accurate; his legacy included, among other things, close to flO,OOO left in his money ehest. See Appendix to Hunter and Schaffer.

nd Rorty, the focus of the 2 Intcrludc, also uscs Dewey's phrase "spectator theory ofknowledge," e.g. in his "Epistemological Behaviorism," 119, f. n. 18. Quine's position is not that na"ive after all, and he does allow that "ones man's observation is another man's closed book or flight of fancy" ("Epistemology Naturalized," in his Ontological Relativity, 88) An earlier philosophical discussion of skills that comes immediately to mind is Polanyi's. His account resembles Hacking's in the stress on the non-theoretical nature of skills, but his notion of tacit knowledge, as some additional information hidden in the achievements of one genius to be discovered by a later one, is in direct Opposition to Hacking's strengest point-the notion of knowledge production. An interesting scrutiny of skills as an essential element of human reason is Dreyfus, What Computers Can 't Do. Hacking does not pay much attention to the positive secretive tendencics of experimenters, as pointed out, e.g. by Collins, but this addition of course only

NOTES 211

strengthen his point. 8 For a discussion of procedures in knowledge producing practices c.f Gooding,

Experiment, especially Chapters 1 and 2. 9 In his "Empiricism, Semantics and Ontology," Rudolph Carnap, from very

different presuppositions and on his way to almost opposite conclusion, arrives at a very similar claim about "the reality of entities."

10 It also reveals the original context of Hacking's monograph-a reply to the empiricist, anti-realist position developed by Bas van-Fraassen in The Scientific Image.

11 C.f van Prassen, 15-19. Van Prassen himself, an avowed empirieist and anti­realist, presents these two philosophical positions as an indivisible pair. This pairing, however, is not self-evident. One need not commit to any attitude towards realism in order to count as an empirieist

CHAPTER 2: CLOCKS, PENDULUMS AND SPRINGS

My references will be both the edition of published of De Potentia published independently by John Martin in 1678 and to the edition published in Gunther (vol. 8: C.L.) which is more available.

2 Reconstructions of the theory were offered by Hesse ("Hooke's Vibration Theory") and Patterson ("Pendulums of Wren and Hooke").

3 Patterson ("Robert Hooke and the Conservation of Energy ," 151) thinks he does. 4 The part authored by Hooke is titled "An Explication of Rarefaction" (178-182).

C.f Hesse, ("Hooke's Vibration Theory," 436-437); Clericuzio. 5 I will attend to this analogy in details later. 6 C.f Clericuzio, 7 4-7 5. 7 On January 23rd, 1675/6, Hooke first remarked in bis Diary: "wrote a theory of

springs." 8 See Clericuzio for Hooke's part in formulating Boyle's Law and the 'spring of

air' hypothesis. 9 Hooke's acquaintance with it was probably via Galileo's writing, in which he

was clearly versed. One reason to believe that he has learned of O'resme's diagram from Galileo is the fact that, like the latter, he treats the areas assums of the ordinates (De Potentia, 19; C.L., 351).

10 See Discorsi, Third Day, Theorem I, Propositions I and II and Corollary I; Figs. 47-49. For an earlier, somewhat different diagram see Dialogo, Second Day, Fig. 15.

11 C.f Westfall (Force, 206-208) and Pugliese, in Hunter and Schaffer, for other occasions in which Hooke makes use of this assumption. Pugliese remarks that this assumption is 'an axiom of motion' for Hooke, but does not elaborate on the particularities of Hooke's notion of 'powers'.

12 In the Introduction, I presented Hooke' s "General Rule of Mechanicks" as

212 NOTES

derived from interpretation of Galileo's theorem. One may understand Hooke's proof here as proceeding along the same lines; if (translating Galileo into "Mechanicks") constant power along distance produces velocity proportional to the root of the distance, then power which varies as the distance (as, according to Hooke, is the case with displaced springs) produces velocityproportional to the distance.

13 Patterson's is still the mostextensive analysis of Of Spring. 14 "The distended rope, by the same endeavor to relax or unhend itself, will draw

the horse as much towards the stone as it does the stone towards the horse" (Newton, Mathematical Principles, 14. Henceforth: Principia). It is tempting to wonder whether Newton did not have Hooke in mind when he formulated his third law in the Principia. Otherwise, the rope illustration seems somewhat out ofplace.

15 The problem, as Peter Machamer has pointed out to me, is principal: parallel processes cannot measure each other.

16 White notes that the origins of the fusee mechanism are probably in military

17

technology-a device for spanning heavy cross-bows called in typical medieval chivalry 'the virgin'. Another mechanism for this purpose is the stackfreed, which operates on similar principles but to a somewhat less satisfactory results, and was therefore less popular.

18 Cycloid is the curve described by a point on the circumference of a circle rolling

on a plain (see Figure 14-top ). A cycloidal pendulum can be visualized as a ball rolling up and down in a bowl whose cross-section is a cycloid. A cycloid, Huygens proved in his Horologium Oscilatorium, is it own "evolute" (see Figure

14-bottom). Therefore the pendulum can be made to describe a cycloid by two cycloidal 'cheeks' limiting the motion ofits chord (see Figure 13).

19 Cf 'Espinasse, 1956, 62 ff. 20 This text survived as Trinity College Ms. O.lla.Jl5, without the diagrams

referred to in the text, and was transcribed by Wright (102-118), who also beautifully reconstructed the devices described. The 1675 dating is bindered by the absence of any reference to Huygens' all-important Horologium Oscilatorium of 1673.

NOTES 213

Huygens' proof of isochrony, which was published only in the Horologium Oscilatorium of 1673. If he learned about the proof before amending the text, he did not add anything to indicate that (see Section 4.1).

25 Huygens did try to develop methods of suspending pendulum clocks that would make them immune to "the heaving of the ship" (The Pendulum Clock, 30-32). See Figure 15.

and synecdoches see Vickers. A more philosophical approach to these particular 'master tropes' is Burke's Grammar of Motives.

32 The examples in my "Tropes and Topics" are terms like gravity, levity, proper places and natural form, the never-questioned relations between which structured texts in the tradition of Aristotelian cosmology. I show there how Galileo, carefully observing these relations, is able to introduce radical changes into the ('tropic') meaning of these terms without rendering his text unintelligible.

33 In "Tropes and Topics" I explored Galileo's use of terms like 'natural motion' and 'proper places' in discussing falling bodies after depri ving these terms of their traditional Aristotelian (tropic) meaning.

For another account of Rorty's argument see Bernstein (1985). My interpretation is similar to Bernstein's on a number of points, but my motivation is concerned with Rorty's criticism of the theory of knowledge, and Bernstein's in his reflections in the role left for philosophy. As Ong (Ramus, Method, and the Decay of Dialogue) forcefully argues, these metaphors gained new vigor with the invention of the movable type, which encouraged the use of diagrams, tables and emblems for pedagogical and rhetorical purposes. Foucault, for one, offers in The Order of Things a very different interpretation of enlightenment concept of representation. According to his interpretation language "does not stand in opposition to thought as the exterior does to the interior" (82). A most potent argument in favor of personal knowledge is provided by Collins in hisChanging Order.

CHAPTER 3: NEWTON'S SYNTHESIS

2

"On the tercentenary of the frrst publication of his master work on 'The mathematical principles of science' my final words are simple: I give you its onlie begetter: Isaac Newton!" (Whiteside, "The Prehistory of the Principia," 35). And Whiteside is one of the more sophisticated readers of this 'prehistory', giving much attention to the roles of others in its shaping. Especially by Whiteside, "Prehistory" and "Before the Principia," and also by Westfall, "Hooke and the Law of Universal Gravitation" and Pugliese, "Robert Hooke."

3 Westfall, "Hooke and the Law of Universal Gravitation;" Wilson, "From Kepler's Laws," especially 143 ff. Nauenberg ("Hooke," 335) argues that Hooke's 1666Address "shows Hooke's understanding ofthe universal character of gravitational force."

4 Tobe exact, the apex of all the cones lies in the center of earth. 5 "Demonstratum est cap. XXXII. Planetarum motus intensionem et remissionem

sequi proportionem distantiarum simplicem. At videtur virtus ex Sole emanans intendi et remitti debere in proportione duplicata vel triplicata distantiarum seu linearum effluxus. Ergo intensio et remissie motus Planetarum non erit ex attenuatione virtutis ex Sole emanantis." (Kepler, Werke 3, 248) Kepler investigates the analogy and its boundaries again in his Epitome Astronomire Copemicance, explicitly rejecting an inverse square law for the solar force moving the planets (Kepler, Werke 7, 304-305).

6 C.f Wilson, "From Kepler's Laws," 107; Oe Gandt, 4-5. 7 "Denique in Planetis primarijs cum cubi distantiarum a sole reciproce sunt ut

quadrati numeri periodorum in dato tempore: conatus a sole recedendi reciproce erunt ut quadrata distatniarum a sole." (Herivel, 195)

8 Wilson, "From Kepler Laws," especially 89-92, 133-135; "Newton and Some Philosophers," 233-240. Whiteside ("Newton's Early Thoughts," 121-129), agrees with Wilson about the frrst two laws, but is wavering about Newton's acceptance of the third law from "degree of confidence" (125) to "unequivocally" (129). Russel's demonstration that Kepler's laws were widely known in the seventeenth century strengthens the impression that Newton positively chose not to accept them.

9 "Spatium quod corpus urgente quacunque vi centripeta ipso motus initio describit esse in dupllicat ratione temporis." (Herivel, 258)

10 "Corporibus in circumferentijs circulorum uniformiter gyrantibus vires centripetas esse ut arcuum simul descriptorum quadrata applicata ad radios circulorum." (Herivel, 259)

11 "Casus corolarij quinti obtinet in corporibus c«Xlestibus ... jam statuunt Astronomi" (Herivel, 260. Herivel's translation is on page 279).

12 "Hinc si datur figura qrevis et in ea punctum ad quod vis centripeta dirigitur,

NOTES 215

inveniri potest Iex vis centripetae quae corpus in figuras illius perimetro gyrare faciet'' (Herivel, 261). De Gandt's (33) translates "gyrare faciet" as "will cause ... to orbit." I think Herivel's use of the present tense better captures the impression of saving a given astronomical phenomenon that Newton is working to create, but the difference is of course minor.

13 "Gyrat corpus in ellipsi: requiritur Iex vis centripetae tendentis ad umbilicum Ellipseos." (Herivel, 263)

14 "Gyrant ergo Planetae majores in ellipsibus habentibus umbilicum in centro solis, et radijs ad solem ductis describunt area temporibus proportionales, omnino ut supposuit Keplerus" (Herivel, 263)

15 "Posito quod vis centripeta sit reciproce proportionalis quadrato distantiae a centro, quadrata tenporum periodicorum in Ellipsibus sunt ut cubi transversorum axium." (Herivel, 263)

16 The proofs are extremely interesting, but accounting for them in any detail will carry us too far away from our main inquiry. They were excellently interpreted in De Gandt, 31-42.

17 "Haec ita se habent ubi figura Ellipsis est. ffieri enim potest ut corpus moveat in Parabola vel Hyperbola." (Herivel, 267)

18 " ... figura erit parabola umbilicum habens in puncto S ... Sin corpus majori adhuc celeritate emittitur movebitur id in Hyperbola ... " (Herivel, 267)

19 I owe this citation to Sophie Roux. 20 Trinity College Library, Newton Library, NQ.10.52. 21 C.f Wilson, op. cit., 92; 132-133. 22 C.f Wilson, op. cit., 136. 23 "Gyrantia omnia radijs ad centrum ductis areas temporibus proportionales

describere." (Herivel, 258) 24 C.f his "Newton's Early Thoughts on Planetary Motion," 119-120; "Before the

Principia," 10-15. 25 Wilson presents somewhat of an exception. Op. cit., 140-141. 26 C.f Wilson, op. cit., 140-144. 27 "[V]is gravitatis est toties major, ut ne terra conventendo faciat corpora recedere

et in aere prosilire." (Herivel, 196) 28 According to Whiston and De Moivre (Whiteside, "Before the Principia," esp. f.

n. 30), this was an early test-the "moon test" (see Section 2.1.1)--ofthe theory of universal gravity and ISL. The theory failed the test because, following the common assumption that the distance between the moon and the earth is 60 times the Earth's radius, Newton expected the result to be was 3,600: J. Thus, according to this almost legendary story, the world was deprived of the Principia for another 20 years. As can be understood, I follow Whiteside in rejecting this account

29 In order to facilitate understanding, I replaced Newton's originallettering in the De Motu diagram to match the lettering he uses in OCM. The originalletters are

216

NOTES

S; B; C; D; F which I exchanged with C; A; B; D; E respectably. This is somewhat dangerous. For example, the Ietter S is consistently used by Newton in bis later writing for the center of motion, designating Sol, and is therefore rather important for manuscript dating. However, my interest here is in the comparison, which is rather cumbersome otherwise. Newton also produces two diagrams, as opposed to only one in OCM, and his procedure is that of proportions; F :f:: CD: cd which I abbreviated as ratios. See also Wilson, op. cit., 141.

31 See also De Gandt, 55-57. 32 In Yehuda Elkana's terrninology, this would be a change in the image, rather

than the body of knowledge ( c.f "Two-Tier-Thinking" and "A Programmatic Attempt," esp. 15-21).

33 C.f De Gandt, 124-139; Yoder, esp. Chapter 3, Erlichson, "Huygens and Newton."

34 Though slightly earlier than OCM, De Vi Centrifuga was published only posthumously and was not known to Newton when working on his text. Huygens published most of its theorems, but without proof, in the Horolgium Oscilatorium of 1673.

35 I have, again, installed a comparable lettering to that used by Newton in OCM. ~ .

It is a problern Huygens adopted from Mersenne, and constitutes an 1mportant

37

departure from physics of proportians towards physics of constants. C.f Yoder, esp. Chapter 2. In modern notation: Latus Rectum = :l-!y or 1/a in y = d.

38 . The segments DB, which are the path AB viewed as receding from the pomt 0, are equal to-not just approximating-the arcs DO. The curve BBBB will be titled the 'evolute' of the circle when investigated in the Horologium Oscilatorium. De Gandt ( 134-137) provides an excellent interpretation of the Huygens' reasoning here.

39 "The motion of a body can be at the same time truly uniform and truly accelerated, according as one relate its motion to different other bodies." (Oe Gandt, 137)

4° C. f. Dobbs; McGuire and Rattansi. 41 Of course, because of "the progression of the auges" (Birch, 92) the planetary

orbits are not properly closed. Hooke clarified that point in his 1666 address, and the Programme in the Ietter to Newton on 6 January 1679/80 also requires only that "the auges are almost opposite" (Correspondence II, 309. Italics rnine ). I shall return to this theme in the next section.

42 See also Whiteside, "Newton' s Early Thoughts," 119. 43 In the 1681 correspondence with Flamsteed Newton reverts to Borelli's model.

Whiteside ("Before the Principia," 15) takes it as evidence to bis claim that until 1684 Newton did not complete the transition from the centrifugal to the centripetal approach. My analysis of this transition is very much informed by

NOTES 217

Whiteside's, but here I think he overlooks an important phase of it. 44 On the role of the parabola in Galileo' s mathematical mechanics see Renn et al.,

"Hunting the White Elephant." 45 I purposefully shy away from the anachronistic 'integrate'. 46 It is questionable if Newton was able to solve this 'inverse problem', as it has

come tobe called in the 18th century, even in the Principia. C. f. Oe Gandt, 8-9 and 244-250.

uniforrniter movetur in directum et perinde Planetarum commune centrum gravitatis ... vel quiescit vel una movetur. Utroque in casu motus gravitatis inter se .. . eodem modo se habent, et eorum commune centrum gravitatis respectu spatij totius quiescit, atque adeo pro centro immobili Systematis totius Planetarij haberi debet. Inde vero systema Copernicreum probatur a priori. Nam si in quovis Planetarum situ computetur commune centrum gravitatis hoc vel incidet in corpus Solis vel ei semper proximum erit. Eo Solis a centro gravitatis errore fit ut vis centripeta non semper tendat ad centrum illud immobile, et inde ut planetre nec moveantur in Ellipsibus exacte neque bis revolvant in eadem orbita. Tot sunt orbitre Planetre cujusque quot revolutiones, ut fit in motu Lun? et pendet orbita unaquareque ab omnium Planetarum motibus conjunctis, ut taceam eorum omnium actiones in se invicem. Tot autem motuum causas simul considerare et legibus exactis calculum commodum adrnitentibus motus ipsos definire superat ni fallor vim omnium humani ingenii. Ornitte rninutias illas et orbita simplex et inter omnes errores mediocris erit Ellipsis de qua jam egi." (Herivel, 297)

49 "Gyrantia omnia radijs ad centrum ductis areas temporibus proportionales describere." (Herivel, 258)

50 "Hypoth 2 Corpus omne sola vi insita uniforrniter secundum rectam lineam in infinitum progredi nisi aliquid extrinsecus impediat." (Herivel, 258)

51 Hooke writes "consequently" here, which seems to me as a lapse, since it is followed by another "consequently" which signals a perfectly good argument. On the other hand the assumption that "Velocity will be in subduplicate proportion to the Attraction" (namely f oc --.IV) is a ratio between motion and force that Hooke used regularly and for many years, completely independently ofiSL.

52 Herivel, 108-17; Westfall, Force, 513-514, f. n. 6. 53 Hall and Hall; Whiteside, "The Prehistory," 53-54, f. n. 87; De Gandt, 283, f. n.

62. 54 In the case of a circle, this is a Straightforward consequence of the fact that the

angle between a tangent and a chord equals half the central angle on that chord. Here is the proof in short:

218 NOTES

Given a circle with center o, radius R, AC

tangent at point A, BC 1. AC and OD 1. AB, then: sina/2 = AD/R = AB/2R and sinß = CB/AB.

Now ß= a/2, therefore: CBIAB = ABI2R, or: CB = AB212R, which means that CB oc AB2 (because R is a constant). And since the arc AB is proportional to the chord AB, the ratio holds for the arc as weil. I thank E. Gal for helping me with this proof.

55 This is, admittedly, a little overstated-see Nauenberg, "Hooke."
