SIR ISAAC NEWTON.
Sir Isaae Newton, Knight, who by the light of mathematical learning, and a force of mind almost divine, first explained the motious and figures or the planets and planatary orbits; Hie paths of the cornels, the tides and tiic ocean; and discovered, what no one before had ever suspected, the difference of the rays of light, and the distinction of colours Ihcncc arising He was a diligent, faithful, and penetrating interpreter of nature, of antiquity and the Holy Scripture. By his philosophy he asserted the .Majesty of God, the greatest and most glorious of all beings; and by his morals expressed the simplicity of the Gospel. Let mortals congratulate themselves, that there has been so great, so good a man, the glory of the human race. The following was intended for his monument, by Mr. Pope: "Nature and Natures laws lay hid in night. God said, let Newton he, and all was Jiijlil."
