The Legacy confifts of a fmall Indian Cabinet, . in 
the Drawers of which are 1 5 little Boxes or Cafes, each 
containing two Microfcopes, handfomely fitted up in 
Silver, all which, not only the Glafies, but alfo the 
Apparatus for managing of them, were made with the 
late Mr, Leeuwenhoek^s own Hands : Befides which, 
they feem to have been put in Order 4 n the Cabinet by 
himfelf, as he defign’d them to be prefented to the Roy- 
al Society, each Microfcope having had an Objed pla- 
ced before it, and the Whole being accompany’d with a 
Reglfter of the fame, in his own Hand- Writing, as be- 
ing defirous the Gentlemen of the Society fhould, with- 
out Trouble, be enabled to examine many ofthofeOb- 
jeds, on which he had made the moit confiderable Dif- 
coveries. 
Several of thefe Objects yet remain before the Mi- 
crofcopes, tho’ the greater Number are broken off, 
which was probably done by the fhaking of the Boxes 
in the Carriage. I have, neverthelefe, added a Tran- 
flation of the Regifter, as it may ferve to give a jufier 
Idea of what Mr, Leeuwenhoek defign’d by this Legacy,, 
and alfo be of Ufe, by putting any curious Obferver 
in Mind of a Number of Minute Subjeds, that may 
in a particular Manner deferve his Attention. 
The 13 Cafes abovemention’d are numbered from ly 
to 27 inclufively, correfponding to which is the Regi- 
Iter of the Objeds, Two to every Cafe, as follows. 
No. 15- Globules of Blood, from which its Red* 
nefs proceeds. 
A thin Slice of Wood of the Lime-Tree, where 
the Vellels conveying the Sap are cut tranf- 
verfely.. ' N°. 16..
