believe, that Mr. Winkler, relying too much upon 
the honefty and veracity of Mr. Pivati, and his pre- 
tended extraordinary difcoveries, differed his heated 
imagination to dictate his firft letter to Dr. Mortimer; 
and that what he then fent, he rather hoped would 
prove true upon experiment, than what really was 
fo ? and that his fecond letter, in which there is fo 
remarkable a diminution of what was promifed in 
the firft, was the retreat of one, who was unwilling 
to be thought to have communicated to the Royal 
Society any thing, which would not upon trial come 
out as he had reprefented it ? But be that as it may ; as 
fuccefs both here and abroad has been wanting to the 
endeavours of thofe, who have defired to repeat thefe 
experiments, I fhall determine nothing myfelf ; but, 
from an undifguifed reprefentation of the fadts, as 
they have appeared to me, I fhall leave every one 
to deduce his own conclufion concerning the reality 
of them.
