centrical end of the pully, by the pressure of the external atmosphere.
In the mean time the opposite pully has got
to the where the slit in the axle-tree begins; and so the wheel
goes round, two of the pistons out of the four being constantly
at work. ascending. How the refrigerating water is let in
I know not. I suppose in the same manner as
in the common engine, whatever that is. Dr Nooth
the inventor, who was a pupil of Fordyce's, has one a
making, which is to be set up somewhere in or about London.
There, my dear Sam, I have done what I could
for you, and now must bid you good night. I was
prevented by an accident sending the letter that I had
written to my father for last post: and now I must
say something more. Don't wonder if some time
or other he should be the death of me. But don't
be alarmed, as I should keep myself were it only for
your sake, till your return. How happy it is for
man, that tyranny extends not beyond the grave!

Fordyce is not particularly acquainted with Belidor's Architecture
Hydrolique: mais en general il dit, que tocit
ce qui est de Belidor est bon: which it is a great deal
for Fordyce to say.
A friend of Fordyce's has got the Commission for victualling
the forces at Boston. He sends amongst other things Sauer
Crout: Cabbages which are made to undergo to a
certain degree the acetous fermentation: a great dish
in Germany. They are stowd in 1/2 Ton Casks. As this
fermentation will continue while they are on ship board, Fordyce
has contrived a method to give vent to the vapour
that will be discharged. In the middle of each Bung, which
is of cork he introduces a flat circular Cross valve which
opens by the force of the vapour and shuts itself again by
a spring. Each Bung thus prepared costs half a
Crown.
