Présentation de l'éditeur

Fter what the Frontijpecc and Porch of this Wooden Edfee prefents you, I (hall need no farther to repeat the Occafion of this following Vifcomfe :I am only to acquaint you ,7 hat as it was deliver dto the ROYALSOCIETY by an unworthy Member thereof, in obedience to thtir Commands by the fame it is now publifh dwithout any further Profpc. And the Reader is to know. That if thele dry fiics afford him any Sap, it is one of the leaji and mcaneji of thofe fteces which are every day produc dby that l Uujirious A jjembly and which enrich their Co UeS iions as fo many Monmnents of their accurate Experiments and Publique Endeavours, in order to the produftion of real and ufeful Theories the Propagation of Natural Science and the honour of their I nfiitution. If to this there be any thing fubjoyn dherc which may a while bcfpcak the patience of the Reader, it is only for the Encouragement of an I nduflry, and worthy Labour, too much in our days negle ied, as haply eftecm da confidcration of too fordid and vulgar a nature for Noble Perfons and Gentlemen to bufie themfelvcs withal, and who oftner find ways to fell down and deftroy their Trees and Plantations, then cither to repair or improve them. But what fhall I then fay of our late prodigious Spoilers, whofe furious devaftation of fo many goodly Woodszvdi Forejis have left an Infamy on their Names and Memories not quickly to be forgotten! I mean our unhappy Vfurpers, and injurious Se juejlrators ,N ot here to mention the deplorable neceflities of a Gallant and Loyal Gentry, who for their Compofiiions were (many of them) compell dto add yet to this Wafle, by an inhumane and unparallel d Tyranny over them, to prcfervc the poor remainder of their Fortunes and to find them Bread.
