Excerpt from Miscellanea Curiosa Mathematica, or the Literary Correspondence of Some Eminent Mathematicians in Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 1: Containing a Choice Collection of Mathematical Essays and Dissertations on What Is Most Valuable and Really Useful

The effect of a force imprefs'd on a moveable bod is the mo tion of that body from one place to another. Now orafmuch as the elite} cannot but be proportional to its ennfe, hence Mr Leibnitz (whom the other Gentlemen have followed) contends that the fpace defcribed by a body, in falling, is proportional to the force by which it is impelled during its fall; which fpace being agreed to be as the fquare of the velocity (as being proportional to the velocity and to the time taken together) hence they infer. That the force likewife is as the fquare of the velocity.
