The author was the first to explain correctly some of the properties of platinum, and to ascertain the quantitative

 ascribing to the phlogiston negative weight.

This is next to Snellius's (v. No. 4484 ante) the earliest work on the naval arts of the ancients. It is chiefly collected 

 from the Greek and Roman Classics, and treats the subject far more fully than that of Snellius, which is more exclusively 

 devoted to navigation, while the present work treats more especially of naval architecture.

 correct illustration of the human eye.
