| Description | Paper by Wildbore describing the difference between motive force and accelerative force. The paper is followed by a short letter on the same page from Wildbore to Banks, in which he states that he had received no word regarding his expanded paper on spherical motion, and wonders if the delay is because [John] Landen was expected to publish on the same subject. Wildbore explains that this paper on forces was intended for only interested Fellows, not the public,
