There are divers Reflections, and other

Paſſages in the following Epiſtle, and even
<
lb
/>
ſome Experiments (occaſionally mention'd)
<
lb

which may ſeem either impertinent or ſu
<
lb

perfluous, but are not ſo: Being purpoſely
<
lb

written, either to evince ſome truth oppoſ'd,
<
lb

or diſprove ſome erroneous conceit main
<
lb

tain'd, by ſome eminent New Philoſopher,
<

or by ſome other Ingenious Men, who, I

lb

preſum'd, would eaſily forgive me the ha

lb

ving on ſuch occaſions purpoſely omitted
<
lb
/>
their Names; though an inquiſitive Perſon
<
lb

will probably diſcover divers of them, by
<

the mention of the Opinions diſprov'd in
<
lb
/>
the Experiments I am excuſing.
