Transcription
[fol. 173] Sir, If your have been so kind as to look into my Manuscript on muscular Motion and if you are pleased to approve of it, I am very willing to make some Alterations in it, and read it as a Lecture before the Royal Society at the Time which Dr Croon has fixt for it, or wherever you shall please to appoint. I must confess that such a Thing would be an Honour I am very unworthy off, and little expected but since you were pleased to mentioned it to me, I think it my Duty to accept of it, if you think my Theory of muscular Motion is deduced from such Principles as will stand the Test of so learned an Audience. I humbly ask Pardon for being so troublesome, but if you will be pleased to favour me with a Line or two, it will infinitely oblige, most honoured Sir, your most obedient humble servant Browne Langrish Petersfield, in Hants, Aug: ye 24th 1732
