Henry Pemberton
Henry Pemberton (1694 – 9 March 1771) was an English physician and man of letters. He became Gresham Professor of Physic, and edited the third edition of ''Principia Mathematica''.
==Life==

Born in London, he received a general education in England, then went to Leyden University in August 1714. There he studied medicine under Herman Boerhaave, and read mathematical authors. From Leyden he passed to Paris to study anatomy, and bought a collection of mathematical works at the sale of the library of the Abbé Jean Gallois. He returned to London to attend St. Thomas's Hospital, but went back to Leyden in 1719 as the guest of Boerhaave, and graduated M.D. on 27 December of that year.
On his settling in London Pemberton did not practise much, because of delicate health. He was, however, a writer on medical and general subjects. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society, and contributed papers to its ''Philosophical Transactions'' (vols. xxxii.–lxii.). One of these, a demonstration of the inefficiency of an attempted proof by Giovanni Poleni, of Leibniz's assertion that the force of descending bodies is proportional to the square of their velocity, was transmitted to Isaac Newton by Richard Mead, and gained for Pemberton Newton's friendship. Newton brought him a refutation by himself based on other principles. This was afterwards printed as a postscript to Pemberton's paper. Pemberton saw much of Newton in his old age.
In 24 May 1728 he was appointed Gresham professor of physic in succession to John Woodward. For seven years (1739–1746) he was chiefly employed in the preparation of the fifth ''London Pharmacopœia'' for the Royal College of Physicians; he performed all the chemical and pharmaceutical experiments. The work was published in 1746 as ''Translation and Improvement of the London Dispensatory'', and he received from the college a gift of the copyright and a hundred guineas above the expenses incurred. Pemberton died on 9 March 1771.
