	Yorkshire Branch Newsletter, October 1999
		Copley's connection with the Virtuosi was perhaps through Kirke, a mathematician who was elected F.R.S. in 1693, the year in which their friend Hans Sloane became Secretary of the Royal Society.
		Copley and his contemporaries weren't interested in Physics especially - they were interested in everything; recourse to the earliest volumes of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (recently republished) will instantly confirm this.
		By his will Sir Godfrey Copley left his fine collection of mathematical instruments to Sloane, and also, to Sloane and Abraham Hill, "one hundred pounds in trust for the Royal Society of London for improving natural knowledge, to be laid out in experiments or otherwise for the benefit thereof as they shall direct and appoint".

	Copley Coat of Arms
		The ancient history of the Copley name begins with the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain.
		The name is derived from when the family resided in Copley Plain in Loughton, which was in Essex; in Copley Hill in Babraham, which was found in Cambridgeshire; or in Copley in Halifax, which was in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
		Thus, the surname Copley belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
