the ſurface of the Reſtagnant Quick-ſilver

in the Veſſel, which did at firſt both amaze

falling quite as low in this colder, as in

not believe that that difference in the Air

ſhould alone be able to make ſo great a one

in the heights of the Mercurial Cylinders;

and accordingly upon enquiry we found,

that though the various denſity of the

Air be not to be over-look'd in this Ex

periment, yet the main Reaſon why we

found the Cylinder of Mercury to conſiſt
<

of ſo many Inches, was this, That our

Engliſh Inches are ſomewhat inferior in
