much learning and fuccefs, fhould be publifhed 

 feparately. They are too important not to merit 

 and require a feparate impreflion. In detached 

 treatifcs they would make an admirable appear- 

 ance, and thus more firmly fix the attention of 

 amateurs. Send them to me whenever they come

 with our requeft. This new Treatife on infu- 

 fions will form an appendix to the former, — We 

 may even reprint the French tranflation of the laft, 

 and place it at the beginning of the new work. 

 Think of all this, and inform me. It has been 

 mentioned to M. Trembley. 



Your tracts on infufions, and other fubjefts,

 view, is not the Jeafl; merit of your learned re- 

 searches. 



You may well conceive we would have affoci- 

 ated M. de Sauflure in our philofophic amufe-

 journey to Lyons j however, we Ihall regale him 

 with your productions at his return. 



Still a word on infufions.'— »Behold the poor 

 Epigenefiil reduced to an impalpable powder j 

 and you have no lefs pulverifed his friend De 

 Buffon. I have read nothing on feminal vermi-
