Bespeak a quantity of Iron-filings against we have occasion
for it: now is the time, that we may not be at a stand
for want of materials, when experiments occurr to us that we wish
to try. I shall want to make some examination into Air phlogisticated
by Pyritic mixture. I do not recollect precisely, but
I have a notion that, according to Priestly's experiments, Air phlogisticated
this way is not dephlogisticated by vegetation. That

by aw...al or .. respiration or putrid efflusion, that it is dephologisticated
by vegetation.

Synopsis or Abridgment, of my own contriving, not extracted

it at Gilbert's upon Ludgate hill; neither Martin nor
Adams had any such thing. the Corck Jacketts cost £2.3. St
along with them you'll have a book upon ye subject.
I wrote to my father on Saturday, pray don't you
