156 Catalogue of the Works of 



A reply~to the Animadversions of the Edinburgh Reviewer?, 8vo. 1804 : 

 —A defence of the Papers printed in the Transactions against two Articles 

 supposed to have been written by Mr. Brougham. 



To an Imperial Review, which was an unsuccessful speculation of some 

 booksellers in 1804, he contributed several medical and some other miscel- 

 laneous Articles. The works that he reviewed were, Dumas Phisiologie, 

 Darwin's Temple of Nature, Blackburn on Scarlet Fever, Percival's Medical 

 Ethics, Fothergill's Tic Douloureux, Crichton's Table, Nisbet's Watering 

 Places, Rowley on Madness, Huttoris Ozanum, Buchan on Sea-Bathing, 

 Robison's Astronomy, Winterbottom's Sierra Leone, Macgregor's Medical 

 Sketches, Wilson's Philosophy of Physic, Richerand's Physiology, and 

 Joyce's Scientific Dialogues. 



An Essay on the Cohesion of Fluids. Phil. Trans. 1805, p 71, containing 

 many of the results, which were published as new, about a year afterwards, 

 by La Place. The mathematical reasoning, for want of mathematical sym- 

 bols, was not understood, even by tolerable mathematicians; from a dislike 

 of the affectation of algebraical formality, which he had observed in some 

 foreign authors, he was led into something like an affectation of simplicity, 

 which was equally inconvenient to a scientific reader. 



A Course of Lectures on Natural Philosophy and the Mechanical 

 Arts; two volumes, 4to. London, 1807. This elaborate work was the 

 result of the unremitting application of five years ; two, whilst the Author 

 was engaged in giving Lectures at the Royal Institution, and three more in 

 compiling the mass of references contained in the second volume, and in 

 incorporating their results, when requisite, with the text of the first. By 

 means of numerous plates, and by indexes of various kinds, he had endea- 

 voured to render the book as convenient for occasional reference, as it was 

 correct for the purposes of methodical study. (The failure of the book- 

 sellers who published this work, at the moment of its appearance, so greatly 

 injured its sale at the time, that it did not repay the expenses of the publi- 

 cation ; and Dr. Young considered that his labours were first generally 

 appreciated by the Natural Philosophers of the Continent.)

 refutation of the hypothesis of Newton, respecting the cause of Gravitation.
