Microfcope in various Altitudes, and under different 
Circumftances ; an Affiflance I could hardly have 
received from any other Hand, as this Gentleman 
joins the greateft Accuracy in obferving the true 
Strudure of the Works of Nature, with a peculiar 
Happinefs in reprefenting them. And thefe Draw- 
ings I have brought with me, for the Entertainment 
of the Gentlemen prefent; and to whom I am 
perfuaded they will not be lefs p leafing and fatisfadory, 
than they have been to myfelf. 
After which Mr. Cuff \ who has at my Requeft 
brought hither an excellent Microfcope, will be fo 
kind as to endeavour at fhewing the Infed itfelf to 
fuch Gentlemen, as not having yet feen it, may 
now be willing to take a View of it in that Manner. 
But as it may be found difficult for the whole Com- 
pany to fatisfy their Curiofity here fufficiently at the 
fame time : I muft again repeat what I had the Honour 
of faying to you the lad Thurfday , that fo long as I 
ffiall have any of thefe little Animals in my Pofleffion, 
I ffiall always be ready and defirous to {hew them, at 
my own Houfe, and give the bed Satisfadion I am 
able, to any Gentlemen difpofed to take further 
Notice of them.
