 exponerem, nunc aliis negotiis implicitus reser^'o reliqua proximae 

 epistolag. 

 Scripsi multa addenda vol. 1. Syst. nat. idq quotidie ; absolvi dimi- 

 dium tomiun. Si Tuus frater edat, certus sum quod hoc prodeat 

 optimis typis, qui Anglis communis. Tarn multa quae quotidie 

 prodiere, post priorem editionem operis, et quae allegavi multum 

 laboris expostularunt. Si vixero absolvam opus in autumnum. 

 Quid mihi offerat in sostrum ? An poterit habere optimum cor- 

 rectorem typi?
