rcverfe of thofe made by Dr. Tayion the late Mr. Havpks^ 
hte and my felf, upon Water ; by which I am now en- 
abled to throw this tt’hole affair into a little Syffem 
by it felf, I (hall beg leave to lay it down in the follow* 
ing Propoficicns, the Proof of which is contain’d in the 
Experiments annext 
PROPOSITION I. 
Particles of Water attract one another. 
This. I think, is now univerfally acknowledged, and 
therefore needs no Demonftration ; the Sphericity of the 
drops of Rain, and the running of two drops of Water 
into one another upon their contadf, manifeftly proving 
it. 
PROPOSITION II. 
The Particles of fluickjtlver attraH one another* 
This is likewife manifed from the Spherical Figure, 
into which a drop of Mercury forms it felf upon a 
Table; and from two of them immediately running to* 
gether, as foon as they come to touch. 
PROPOSITION III. 
Water is attra6ied hy Glafs. 
This plainly appears from all the Experiments, that 
we have (hewn upon this Subject. 
PROPOSITION IV. 
^ickflver is attraBed hj Glafs, 
Experiment I. If a fmall Globule of Qukkfilvec 
be laid upon a clean Paper, and be touched with a 
piece of clean Glafs; upon drawing the Glafs gently 
away.
