Additions and Corrections in Vol. xlviii. 
P AGE 19, to the end of the third paragraph relating to Sir lfaac 
Newton's Chronology, add this Note : 
I think myfelf bound, for the fake of truth, to fay, that I was mif- 
informed in what I have laid here concerning Sir lfaac Newton’s Chro- 
nology ; for I find fince, that the five firft chapters of that work had 
received his finifhing hand ; that he had refolved to pubhfh it in his 
life-time ; and that it was only the Jhort Chronicle, which had been fur- 
reptitioufly tranflated and printed in France. I am greatly obliged to 
the prefent Lord Bifhop of Bangor for this intimation, fupported by many 
curious particulars of what patted in converfation on that head between 
Sir lfaac and his Lordfhip.

In the fame Table, CgI. ill, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th, are 
fufficiently explained by the titles upon them in the Table. Col. 9th 
is the difference of the numbers in columns 3d and 7th, and exprettes 
the differences of expanfion of the bafis and the bar meafured, between 
the different degrees of heat expreffed in the 10th column ; which co- 
lumn confifts of the differences between col. 4th and 8th. Col. nth 
is made by proportioning the numbers in col. 10th, to what they ought 
to be, upon the fuppofition of an uniform expanfion, in cafe the differ- 
ence of heat had been conftantly 1 66 degrees of Farenheit. — Col. 12th, 
13th, and 14th, are made in the fame manner, from columns 3d and 
5th, 4th and 6th, as columns 9th, loth, 1 ith, are made from columns 
3d and 7th, 4th and 8th. Col. 15th is made by faying as 166 0 is to 
66°, fo is any number in col. 1 1 th to its correfpondent one in col. 1 5th; 
which, was the expanfion quite uniform, or in the fame ratio as that of 
quickfilver, ought to agree with coi. 14th. Col. 16th contains the 
differences of col. 14th and 15th, which are the irregularity of the ex- 
panfion.
