in Uie 4th line lie fays, " Add the vitri- 

 olic acid to it," he, &^. But queie 

 ■what, and how much, vitriolic acid is to 

 be added; ant! ofwliat degree offtrength 

 or coiiceiitration is the vitriohc acid to 

 be? 



As the latter particulare are omitted, 

 iMid of the moft effential confeqireiice in 

 his formula^ and as, without the iiiiertion 

 ©f the (juantity and ftrength of this pow- 

 erful aud apparently rcquhite ingredient,. 

 what you hci\e dready printed wuU he 

 ufelels, if not injurious, to fome of your 

 readers, if J. VV. will have the goodnefs 

 to correct the communicatiou alluded to, 

 it will oblige them.

 sin, 



WILL you give me leave to query, 

 in your valuable work, whether I 

 can obtaia legal redrefs in the following 

 cafe : 



I have a large garden with i-ulnablc 

 flowers and fniit-trces in it. I have a 

 neighbour who from the Common has in- 

 clofed a narrow flip of ground, the length 

 of mj' fouth wall, and planted numerous 

 hives of bees under it. There is nothing 

 on his ground that will yield them fup- 

 port^ and every drop of honey they col- 

 lect, they travcrfe my fruit-trees and 

 flovvei-s to procure it. My fcrvants arc 

 often llung with the bees, and twice this 

 fieafon have I Uiffcred very fe\crely my- 

 felf. Hemonftrances for the i-cnio^al of 

 the hives have been inefVcctual, and 

 tn-ated with contempt. What 1 would 

 wifli tr) know is, whether I iiuve any legal 

 jpedrcfs in ray power to remedy the 

 grievance, and what that redrefs i» ? 



How far the conftant fudion of bees 

 on hloflonis and liovvers may impair their 

 fragrance and beauty, I am not compc* 

 tent to difcover. They enjoy in the 

 funny gleam but fliort happinefs, and 

 their grateful mailers foon hurl them into 

 " a gulf of blue fulphureous Hame."

SIR, 



IHA^'E the misfortune, (I fuppofo like 

 other folks), to be peftcred with that 

 troublefome little animal the flea. If 

 any of your Correfpondents can furnilh 

 fome experimental information rcfpcft- 

 ing it, they would confer confiderable 

 obligation on a conftant reader of your 

 pages f 

 What will prevent or dcftrov its ef- 



fea? 



And what will cure after it has wound- 

 ed ?

SIR, 



I SHALL be much obliged by the in- 

 fertion of the following queftion, 

 plainly hated. 



W'hat is the fpecdicft method of kilhng 

 eels .' 



The practice of fkinning them alive is 

 fo horrible, and fo difgraceful to human 

 nature, thatllhall forbear to eat them till 

 fome humane method of killing them is 

 prattifed. No perfon ought to permit 

 or countenance the praftices of flayinj 

 eels and boiling lobflcrs alive !

 rife to the law, a profefiion for 

 V/hich he appears to have been peculiarly 

 qualified, both by nature aud habit. The 

 ifiudy and the practice of it obtained for 

 hiiu both wealth and honours; rendered 

 him for a tune the tirll lay fulgett in the 

 kingdom, not of blood royal, and ena- 

 bled him to become the founder of a fa- 

 mily, of which his nephew is now the 

 reprefentad%e.
