I. An attempt to prove the motion of the earth from observations, made by Robert Hook fellow of the R. Society. London in 4. printed for J. Martyn at the bell in St. Pauls Church yard, 1674

    The Ingenious Author of this Attempt, having consider’d with himself, that the grand Controversie about the Motion of the Earth remains yet undetermin’d, and finding, there was no other means left for human Industry to decide it but by. observing, whether there be any sensible Parallax of the Earths Orb amongst the Fixt Stars; did thereupon resolve to employ himself in making some Observations concerning so important a point in Astronomy.
