'C'est dans ce recueil que Sennert donna carriere a sa verve paradoxale. D'apres lui, I'ame 6tait dans la sfmence avant 

 I'organisation, et c'est elle qui formait les corps ; les metaux devaient leur creation a des esprits intelligents, et I'ame des 

 b^tes n'etait point mat^rielle.'— Uiogrr. Gen. 



The work is nevertheless scientifically important for the contributions to the atomic theory which it contains. The 

 author accepts physical, as distinct from mathematical, minima as the smallest no longer physically perceptible parts of 

 a body, and attacks in this connexion the doctrines of Aristotle. His atomistic theory found many followers, among 

 others Otto von Guericke and Johannes Sperling.

Chiefly interesting for the fact that it was still considered necessary at so late a date to write a defence of the 

 Copernican System. The author was a friend of Samuel Pepys, and took part in the campaign against the Duke of 

 Monmouth as an officer of artillery at the battle of Sedgemoor.
