communicated to the Royal Society, inti- 
tided , DifTertatio philofophico-medica de

; printed at Prague 1751 : extracted and 
tranfated from the Latin hy Mr . Wm. 
Watfon, K R. S. 
Read Jan. ^ 3 , rTHI HE treatife, of which I now offer 
1 an extract to the Royal Society, was 
fent hither from my friend and correfpondent Pro- 
feffor Bofe at Wittemberg, who is always defirous of 
teftifying his zeal and attachment to the Royal So- 
ciety, by communicating to us whatever he imagines 
worthy our notice. The author of this treatife. Dr. 
Bohadfch, is a Bohemian, a very learned and inge- 
nious gentleman, who, while he was in England 
about two years fince, was frequently at our meetings, 
and was very converfant with, and much efteemed 
by, many of our body, from whom he received 
very great civilities. He was more particularly taken 
notice of by his Grace the late Duke of Richmond, 
whofe lofs we yet lament : His Grace did me the 
honour to recommend him to me, as a gentleman 
not lefs remarkable for his great knowledge in various 
kinds of literature, than for his exemplary modefty : 
and it is with great pleafure that I lay before you 
what comes from the hands of one, for whom I have 
fo great an efteem.
