Robert Hooke

I have designed a new method of building houses, which will be more strong and durable than the old ones.

I am now very busy in drawing up a scheme for the rebuilding of London.

I find myself much out of order, and my head very giddy.

My eyes are very weak, and I cannot read or write without pain.

I have been much troubled with the stone, and have taken many remedies, but to little purpose.

I have lost my sister, and am much grieved for her.

I have been much abused by some persons, who have endeavoured to rob me of my inventions.

Mr. Newton has taken my ideas, and published them as his own.

I have been much neglected by the Royal Society, and have not received the credit due to my discoveries.

I am resolved to publish my own works, and let the world judge between me and my adversaries.

I have been much employed in making experiments, and have discovered many new things.

The microscope is an instrument of great use, and may be applied to many purposes.

The telescope is an instrument of great power, and may be used to discover many things in the heavens.

I have made many observations of the moon, and have discovered many new things in her.

I have observed the spots in the sun, and have discovered their motion.

The stars are at an immense distance from us, and are probably suns like our own.

The earth is a globe, and revolves about the sun.

The tides are caused by the motion of the moon about the earth.

Light is a motion of the ether, and is propagated in straight lines.

Color is caused by the different refractions of light.
