Many amusing anecdotes are told Of
Sir Isaac Newton during his residence
In St Martins street. One of the best
concerns DR.. Stukely, the most famous
antiquary of his day, who called on
Sir Isaac by Appointment. The servant
who opened the door said that Sir
Isaac was in his study and must not
be disturbed. DR.. Stukely sat down to
wait for the great mathematician, as
it was near his hour for dining. and by

An hour passed and Sir Isaac did not
appear. The hungry and philosophic
antiquary calmly devoured the fowl,
and, replacing the cover on the empty
dish, requested the servant to get an
other bird prepared for his master
Before the dish was ready, Sir Isaac
came down from his study, and, apollo
gizing for his dilatoriness, said, Give

and discovering the empty dish, he OBJ
