The limits of an-eflay exclude a detail of obfervations made by myfelf, 
or collected from judicious perfons, and of their more general, or local 
and temporary application: J with that curiofity roufed by faéts may be 
further animated by this reflection In ‘the works of Almighty power 
and infinite wifdom there can be xo chance; the feafons revolve on the 
fame fixed principles as the planets; and the apparent diforders leflen 
with our encreafing knowledge. The bountiful Creator difcovers his 
marvels in proportion to our wants; if man has by a fublime fagacity 
traced the intricate: path of the moon, why may he not explore the fource 
of the tempeft? every country has native remedies again{t its natural de- 
fects; is it not then probable that as the Polygala Senega was given us 
againft the rattle-{nakes, fo may we have faithful prognoftics of the 
dangerous caprices of our climate? Let us therefore ftudy nature, and 
nature’s Ruler hall reward our labour.
