John Th. Desaguliers (1683-1744) (ne: Desaguillers) was at the forefront of two vastly growing movements: Newtonianism and Freemasonry. Desaguliers, fellow of the Royal Society, was a personal friend of Isaac Newton. He composed numerous scientific books and papers in which he defended Newtonian natural philosophy and, as such, he was a key figure in the popularization of Newtonianism. Whilst in London, Desaguliers also became a key figure in the rise of Freemasonry: in 1719 he became Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of London and was also involved in the composition of James Anderson's The Constitutions of the Free-masons (1723).
