account of it in the Review if you can before you see Dr Lind.
Perpetual Motion
I have brought for you two lectures read & published in 1775 by Dr
Kenrick on the Perpetual Motion in 1775 Conyer was one
of the Auditors — I remember hearing him mention it at the
club. I don't believe there is much in it — however it is
but 6d thrown away.
Suppose you were to ask Dr Lind to write to you from the
E. Indies to tell you the result of his inquiries & observations
in matter relative to Shipbuilding?
