I could enlarge upon this; but there are many reasons for not proceeding farther. I have done what appeared to be not foreign from my duty, and am content. I only wish it were possible for me to remove the perverse impression, which the late discussion has occasioned, by any means more effectual than the circulation of this Treatise. But this only is allowed to me.

It

may be defective, but it is earnest and sincere: it is inadequate to my desires, yet, capable, perhaps, of producing some benefit. At all events, it has been written with a determined attachment to the sovereign authority of Scripture; with zeal for the public esteem of Parliament; and

I now take my leave. My private duties recall me from too long an excursion.— Reddar tenebris.

THE CENTURY OF INVENTIONS OF THE MARQUIS OF WORCESTER,

From the original MSS. with Historical and Explanatory Notes, a Biographical Memoir, and an original Portrait, 8vo.

"A practical mathematician who has quickness to seize a hint, and sagacity to apply it, might avail himself greatly of these scantlings. It is extremely probable that Savery took from the Marquis the hint of the Steam Engine, for raising water with a power made by fire, which invention alone would entitle the author to immortality."-Grang. Biog. Hist. Vol. v. p. 278. "Here it may not be amiss to recommend to the attention of every mechanic, the little work entitled a Century of Inventions, by the Marquis of Worcester, which, on account of the seeming improbability of discovering many things mentioned therein, has been too much neglected; but when it is considered that some of the contrivances, apparently not the least abstruse, have, by close application, been found to answer all the Marquis says of them, and that the first hint of that most powerful machine, the steam engine, is given in that work, it is unnecessary to enlarge on the utility of it."-Trans. of the Society of Arts, vol. iii. p. 6.
