I thank the anonymous reviewers of my work who helped me better capture the nuances of this narrative and better understand English society in Halley's time. I thank the Joseph Henry Press staff, Stephen Mautner, Ann Merchant, and Barbara Kline Pope, especially Sally Stanfield and Jim Gormley, for putting the book together, Michele De La Menardiere for the beautiful cover design, and Estelle Miller and Rachel Marcus.
