THE LIFE OF

To carry on both together, I could wish we were frequent in Dissectionsof Animals, of any Sort whatsoever, and that Figures be drawn, where Na-ture appears anomalar, as she is most in Fishes and Infects; especially in theParts that serve for Concoction. And with this we may take in the Ex-periments about Generation : The Spring should not be lost, for observingthe Progress of hatching Eggs; and likewise the springing of Grain andSeeds; which in a ruder Proportion gives some Light to the Generation ofAnimals. Tame Rabbets may be kept purposely for Dissection, as well be-cause they are frequently pregnant, as because of late, some Observations havebeen made from them, which seem to thwart those of Dr. Harvey , ho^truly, will be worth our Enquiry.

Besides these, there is another Part of Physiology, which concerns us Bnear as the Breath of our Nostrils, and I know not any Thing wherein W 6may more oblige Posterity, than that which I would now propose. It i jnot the Work of any one Person, and therefore fit for a Society, nor of 3little Time, though of little Trouble, and therefore fit to be propos’d notfat the Beginning of the Year, and to be carried on with other Things. Th 6History of Seasons is this excellent Work I would recommend to you, de-sir’d by all modern Philosophers, though no Body hath had yet the Patientto pursue it.

It consists of two Parts; i. A meteorological History. 2. A History ^Tilings depending upon Alteration of the Air and Seasons.

The meteorological Parts will be compleated by five Histories.

i - A punctual Diary of the Motion of the Air, the Winds; where! 11should be noted, not only the Rumb but Force of the Wind, as the Seamedhave these Distinctions, if I mistake not ; from a Calm they begin with 3soft Wind ; a fresh Wind ; a stiff Gale ; a Storm ; and sometimes a Hurri-cane. These may be noted down by a Cypher, and i, 2, 3, 4, &c. An^the Rumb by Letters.

2. A punctual Diary of the Qualities of the Air, as to Heat and Cold ob'ferv’d by a Thermometer ; and likewise of the Moisture of the Air observ’ 3by some other Instrument.

3. The Refractions should be obferv’d, and the Rising of dry Vapours b/the Telescope, and the Tremulation of the Air.

4. A Diary of the State of the Air, as fair, cloudy, Rain,

5. A Register of other accidental Meteors, as figur’d Snows, Parelii, C 0 'ronae, unusual Colours and Shapes of Clouds, call’d Fights in the Air. Fi^Meteors in the Night, falling Stars, (in which I could give Direction foring, if any Thing falls from them in their Extinction?)

The second Part will be compris’d in,_

1. The History of the Growth of those annual Things of Food, as Ft 11 ? 5and Grain. The Causes of Dearth and Plenty and Diseases. Especially t! ?Annals of the Plough should be kept. How the Weather retarded ofcelerated Seed Time, springing, flow’ring, corning, ripening and Harveywith the Diseases and Enemies of that Year: as whether blighted, mildewy’smutted, choked with this or that Weed, eaten with Rook-worms, or 113fccted with a little blue Mite, covering the Ear while green, a Calatfywhich I have obferv'd, but wants a Name. — Lastly, the Plenty, Scaresand Price of Corn. We are enough to learn this in every County of $land , by enquiring or corresponding with those that are a little more cufl°in Country Affairs. ' .
