Experimenting
Conduct of Experiments
NOTE

Plan extended to
other Sciences. Sciences, Sciences in which all nations are interested and
yet by which there is no immediate danger likely to accrue
to any one nation one by any invention adopted by otheranother. In There would
not be the same objections to the publication of the
proposals.

—

When no preparatory experiments are made and accounts of them published
Prizes to be
Sailed for then premiums may be? began to be offered for when to any who for vessels which
shall be produced of certain descriptions to answer the given purpose best. Prizes to be sailed for as a means of the Inventors being rewarded
by that kind of pleasure of reputation which would accrue to any
one who is a concourse assembled for that purpose should be able
to outsail the next. The value of a prize so bestow'd
would be greatly wonderfully enhanced by the celebrity that would accompany
it. [+]

The preparatory experiments here alluded to would consist of
Experiments
relative to shape such as are made not so much on Vessentire Vessels themselves butas on
the resistance ofgiven to bodies of any kind by water: on the mechanism of floatingfrom most advantageous
bodies which it would be convenient should be madeform that could be given to floating bodies for the purpose of enabling
them to overcome the resistance of the water. Such experiments
a number of them when the all together where theproper apparatus is at hand once provided
should be made a number of them together. If different forms for
instance are proposed by different persons, the models should be tried
all at once.

The Secretary then should draw up these receive proposals for these
Secretary to form
one plan from all preparatory experiments and from them all draw up a plan
himself for the approbation of the Society.

[+] In It was this celebrity that among the antient Greeks could
give an inestimable value to a sprig of parsley.
