sample: ARISTARCHUS, a Greek Philosopher, and Native of Samos, was one of the first who maintain'd, that the Earth turn'd upon its Center, and described annually a Circle round the Sun. He invented one kind of Sun-Dials. It is not constantly agreed in what Time he liv'd. It's only known, that he was not born since the Death of Archimedes. There remains no more of his Works than the Treatise of the Magnitude and Distance of the Sun and Moon. The System of the World, which appear'd under his Name, is a Work of Roberval. We shall note a Fault that has slipp'd into the Text of Plutarch. [footnotes omitted]
