The first edition of this curious work is excessively rare, no copy having happened for sale for the last 20 years, while 

 a copy of the second edition, which is far commoner, fetched £3. 3.9 in 1903. Some of the experiments described ajid 

 depicted are very curious, including instructions how to make Weather-glasses ; Water-clocks, etc., Experiments of 

 ' drawing water by tlie Crane, and by Engins, of forcing water by ayre compressed and by Engins, of producing sounds by 

 ayre and water, by evaporation of water by fire, and by Eugins, of motions by evaporating water, and by rarifying ayre,' 

 etc. etc. etc. Bearing in mind the early date of publication, its descriptions of engines driven by steam are of considerable 

 interest. There is no copy of this edition in the British Museum, nor is the author noticed in D. N. B. 



Page 155 describes liow to make a Frkezing Mixture, which is of special interest, Robert Boyle having been credited 

 with making the first experiments in 1667 — thirty-tliree years after the publication of the above work.

The account of the splendid series of impounding reservoirs in Longdendale, and their distributing works, carried out 

 by the author continuously during forty years. The work ends with a statement of the still greater Thirlmere scheme, also 

 designed by him, which was carried out under his care till his death in 1889, ' The work deals with many points of 

 interest to the student of hydraulic engineering.' — D.N. B.

All the above works belonged to Richard Watson, f.r.s., the absentee Bp. of Llandaff, and bear his Calgarth Park 

 booklabel, and were doubtless used by him when victoriously cramming for his chemistry professorship at Cambridge.

 Mathematicians against the Objections of the Author of the Analyst, 8vo. (pp. 50), sewn {title

a reply to Bp. Berkeley's charges, and incidentally of great interest as a commentary on the fluxional calculus. 

 It contains some strictures on Leibniz's dift'erential method. Very little is known of the author, who is described as a 

 Dissenting Minister in a MS. note on title. He was unknown to Poggendortl' and is not in D. N. B., and is best remembered 

 for his important contributions to the theory of probability.
