The four books of the text are "Of the mechanism of nature"; "Attraction and gravity considered at large"; "Of a vacuum in the heavens, and between the parts of bodies: with an experimental enquiry into the physical causes of cohesion and repulsion"; and "The judgment of antiquity on the system of nature: together with the sentiments of some modern author of best repute". Jones and George Horne, later Bishop of Norwich, met while scholars at Oxford and became lifelong friends. Both were already students of the writings of John Hutchinson, though they were never unreservedly 'Hutchinsonians'. Babson, 76; Not in Gray; Wallis, Newton and Newtoniana, 101.6.
