Excerpt from Newton and Flamsteed: Remarks on an Article in Number CIX, of the Quarterly Review; To Which Are Added Two Letters, Occasioned by a Note in Number CX of the Review
As for your observations, you know I cannot communicate them to any body, and much less publish them, without your consent. But if I should perfect the moon's theory, and you should think fit to give me leave to publish your observations with it, you may rest assured that I should make a faithful and honorable acknowledgment of their author, with a just character of their exactness above any others yet extant. In the former edition of my book, you may remember that you communicated some things to me, and I hope the acknow ledgments I made of your communications were to your satis faction: and you may be assured I shall not be less just to you for the future. For all the world knows that I make no observations myself, and therefore I must of necessity ao knowledge their author: and if I do not make a handsome acknowledgment, they will reckon me an ungrateful clown. Account of flamsteed, p. 151.
This the Reviewer has quoted; but he has not quoted what immediately follows, striking as it is.
