ufe of many Experiment’s and Explanations of the 
great Sir 1/aac Newtons having alfo added feveral of 
his own, befides fome littie Cavils, a mere Jen des 
Mots , againft that great Man’s Dottrine of Attraction, 
to which he prefers the Impulfion of Cartejius. He 
quotes againft Sir Ifaac , M. de Fontaine , M. Bannier , 
and M. Voltaire ; and as our young Author had 
a mind to oppofc the Opinions of one of the greateft: 
Abilities in the Sciences, common Prudence fhould 
have informed him, that the Name Newton befpeaks 
the greateft Modefty and Diffidence in the Attempt. 
Our Author amufes himfelf thus againft that Prince 
of Philofophers, which is the more ftrange; fince if 
he had wrote nothing on the Subject, Monfieur le Cat 
would have wanted a great Part of his Furniture for 
this Sedtion. 
The principal Authors befides, regarding Anatomy 
and Phyfiology, which our Author leems to have had 
in his View, are "Du Verney , Willis , Synac upon 
Heifter , and Verducs excellent Book L’Ufage des 
Parties. However, this Preatife of the Senfes is 
judicioufly compiled ; nor does it want feveral in- 
genious Embellifhments from the Author, befides the 
Opinions of feveral others ; we may therefore con- 
clude it to be a very ufeful Book.
