"In the mean time, those that desire to know how to construct Geometrically the Orb of a Comet, by Three accurate Observations given, may find it at the End of the Third Book of Sir Isaac Newtons Principles of Natural Philosophy, entituled De Systemate Mundi, in the Words of its renowned Inventor. Which have since been more fully explained by my very worthy Collegue Dr. Gregory, in his Learned Work of Astronomia Physica & Geometrica."
