SIR, 
IT may feen), by the curious Remarks fent to you from Scotland^ 
that we are yec to feek out the Caufes and original Source , as 
well as the Principles and Nature, of Frojs. I wifii, I were able 
to name all circumftances that may becaufative of Frofts, Heats, 
Winds, and Tempefts. I know by experiei^e, that the fcituation 
of the place is confiderable for fome of thefe ; but, afcer much di- 
ligence and troublefbmc refearches, 1 cannot define the proximity 
ordiftance, nor all the requififes, that ought to be concurrent for 
all the ft range effeds I haveobferv'd in them. 
2. Honourable Mr. jB(?;'/^ , according to his ufual accuratenefs, 
hath given us an account of the anrecedenc, concomitant, and fol- 
lowing changes of Air, and Weather, and very black Winds, when 
the Earthquake was abouc Oxford^ Jannar. 19. 1665 ; recited in 
Numk 1 1. 176. jour Tra5is. And *tis defcribed by DuWallis^ 
Numb. I o./». r 6 8 ,vvith the vpeight of the Air about the time. I con- 
ce?ve, the Subterraneous fteams might be the caufe of fuch a Mid- 
land Earthquake. And I know no Pjrer or better way to find 
out the nature and properties of thofe Steam?, than by obferving 
theEfFe6s,and all the Alterations of the Air, as they did. 
3, Of the ftrange Fro[l^ which was hereabout Ghrijlmas i6j2^ 
and the fudden bloflToming and budding Heats which followed , I 
fent you the particulars , as they are in your Mumk 90, from So- 
merfetfifire^icnh\mgraptim^2indconcG3L\ing my Name, becaufe I 
never heard of the like, (having often obferv'd the Multitude, 
after their Nine daies wonder, and their own Fabulous exaggerati- 
ons, to fall fo far back as to deny the truth of what themfelves faw 
and felt;") vet.finceit was in the main fubftance confirmed from
