Keill went to Oxford with David Gregory in 1691 and studied at Balliol College, obtaining an Oxford degree in 1694. At Oxford Keill lectured on Newton 's work and was soon appointed as a lecturer in experimental philosophy. He was appointed deputy to the professor of natural philosophy in 1699, a post he held until 1709. Keill was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1700 and Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford in 1712. Keill acted as a propagator of Newton 's philosophy and argued against Whiston and others. He claimed that Leibniz had plagiarised Newton 's invention of the calculus and he served as Newton 's avowed Champion Keill wrote in Introductio ad veram (published in Leiden in 1725) The only true Philosophers are those who would account for all Effects and Phenomena by the known established Laws of Motion and Mechanics.

Extractions: John Keill KEILL, Keills small work is often referred to as authority by geologists and natural philosophers; it contains many experimental calculations, among which is that estimate of the depth of the sea, on which Breislak in later times founded his celebrated calculation, that there never could have been a sufficient quantity of water in and about our globe to have kept the matter of it at any time in solution. It was considered by many, that Keill had used the venerable doctor Burnet, much his elder in years, a scholar, and a man esteemed for his private virtues, with too much asperity and unbecoming sarcasm. It appears that the respective theorists answered the attack, although in what manner we have been unable to discover. In 1700, Dr Thomas Millington, Sedelian professor of natural philosophy in Oxford, on his appointment as physician in ordinary to the king, substituted Keill as his assistant, to read his public lectures; and the term for enjoying the Scottish exhibition at Baliol college then expiring, he accepted an invitation from Dr Aldrich, dean of Christs church, to reside there. As his master Gregory was the first who introduced the Newtonian philosophy to the universities, Keill himself possesses the reputation of having been the first to demonstrate its principles on experiment; a task he is said to have performed through machinery of his own invention, but of what description, or to what extent he proceeded in his proofs, we are not informed.
