way. This is taken from the General Advertiser of
Thursday or Friday Decr.—24 or 25th. There is about
a column in the whole respecting the Transactions
of the Soc:y Perhaps I may send it you when you
get to Petersburgh.
14. Heat.
Crawford on Heat. An interesting publication, containing
several original views and interesting experiments.
I have seen only an extract in the Reviews.
I shall get it and send you: it is well spoken
of. The 1st edition is out of print: the 2d in
the press.
15. Airs
Fontana has found that air receives more injury
from the lungs by fix: & air than by
phlogiston: and by breathing dephlogistuated air
insulated by a lime- water stopple, he breathes it thirty
times as long as he could if insulated by a
stopple of common water. The receiver floats
in a cistern of limewater, & he breathes by a
bent tube. This seems to agree with Troestwych.
It is published in the to Ingenhautz's book
which I have. in 24 hours
21,600 cub. inches of any what air.) 1 lb
of nitre yields 12,000 of dephlogd. air. Ingenhaus's
book you shall have: it contains many various
facts. 1. This. 2. the calculn. in the Hist.y of
canals, and 3. the french book above mentioned
(No 4) will afford excellent pus for dis.
16. Strachan
Nothing yet from Strachan.
17. Bukati
I understand from Lind's Clark that Lind has
heard from Haearjeuski of Buchati's being at
Dantzig. The young lady (Bukati's charge)
whom Matthias and every body was so charmed
with is no less a personage than the daughter
of a Mr Ebbel, Lind's Taylor who either
is a native of Poland, or has connections there.
17 Bibl. Navalis
Bibliotheca Navalis you shall have a copy of
when you get to Petersburgh. It was put up in
the box designed for Hamburgh. I have added to
it the articles you mention.
18 - Vesuvius
Les deux Jeudis passès on a lu a la Societé
Royale une lettre du Chev.r Mr Hamilton sur l'eruption
---page break---
18
eruption derniere du Mont Vesuve. On a voulu que
j'y presse: mais comme c'etoit une affaire qui
n'aboutissoit a rien, & que le tems, comme vous savez
vaut presentiment quelque chose, je n'y allois
pas.
19. Norman
Le Baron Podinariczki connait les deux Professeurs
B Büsch & Normann. Il a etudiè
avec les dernier a Göttingen. Il ne me donne
pas une très haute idèe de ses talens. Il dit que
ce Professeur a pris des engagemens pour avoir
part dans un espece d'Encyclopedie qui se
publie ou bien doit se publier quelque part
en Allemagne: mais qu'il y a apparence que
l'entreprise est au dessus des ses forces.
