 Fires by Explosion and Suffocation ; wherein a Description is given of the several Machines 

 and their Uses, with Directions for their proper Application, with short Narrative of Mr. 

 Povey's Behaviour in relation to this useful Invention, by which it will appear, that the said 

 Mr. Povey's pretended Watch Engine is at best a precarious, and often dangerous Remedy, 

 imperfectly Stolen from Am.brose Godfrey's Method, published with a Design to rob the 

 right Owner of the just Reward by imposing upon the Publick in suppressing an Invention of real 

 and universal Benefit, and substituting an imperfect and dangerous one in its room, with vignette 

 on copper, sm. 8vo. hf bound {very rare), £1. \s Printed in the Year 1724

 scarce, 155 1840 



A violent— and quite futile— attack on Newton's theoiy of colours by the poet-philosopher, but which is still suggestive

' It must be admitted that the statements contain more useful principles in all that relates to harmony of colour than 

 any that have been derived from the established doctrine.' — Preface.
