Description
Synopsis: Letters between Hooke and Newton discuss an attractive force pulling toward a single point, resulting in curvilinear motion.
Opening line: "What I do want to show you, though, is what we, I think almost all of us who've worried about this, feel that Hooke contributed with this."
