Transcription
Keill has drawn up an account of Dr Gregory’s ‘Astronomy’ for the Philosophical Transactions as per Sloane’s direction. He cannot possibly shorten it and asks that it be printed soon. John Keill was a mathematician, astronomer, natural historian, and proponent of Newtonian physics. He was involved in a major dispute with G.W. Leibniz over who first conceptualized calculus (John Henry, Keill, John (16711721), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Sept 2010 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/15256, accessed 4 July 2013]).
