The APPENDIX contains an account of the discoveries, which have been an- nouiiced while the Movk was passing through the press; and in a Postscript, which will be found at the close of the second volume, I have been enabled, by the obliging communication of Mr. Davy, to give an abstract of the last paper which he has read before the Roval So- cietv.

A ninth plate is ajuiexed to this edition; and the series, I believe, now coinprehends every article of apparatus, that is essential to the pursuit of experi- mental chemistry. They liave been en- I
