S. J. Rigaud, M.A., F.R.A.S., &c., Tutor of Exeter College : Oxford, printed for the Ashmolean Society, 1844.
2% HALLEY'S COMET the Electors simply chose in David Gregory one whom they believed to be a man better suited to the needs of Oxford.
David Gregory was an able man, one of a great family of able men,i descended from an able woman ; a family which gave the world the Gregorian telescope, ' Gregory's examples,' and Gregory's ' powder '. Newton himself, it is recorded, favoured the claims o...f David Gregory in 1691 ; and we have thus fair cause to think that the omission to elect Halley was no miscarriage of justice; we may be content that his claims were after all recognized in 1704, and his great work accom- plished in due season.
A few particulars of Halley 's life may be added here. He was born in 1656, and was educated at St. Paul's School and at Queen's College, Oxford. He plunged into scientific work at once by voyaging to St. Helena at the age of twenty, and laying the foundations of southern astronomy in the years (1676-8) of his residence there; and was thence- forward continuously in the front rank of scientific enter- prise, observing comets and transits of Mercury, ascending mountains to test the methods of finding heights by the barometer, adjudicating quarrels between men of Science, Secretary to the Royal Society (1685-93), ^"d, as we have seen, publishing ^ Newton's Principia at his own expense, or taking command of a ship to find the longitude.
