Twenty four issues, complete of these early two volumes, rare so. Amongst the important articles in these issues are the first description of an effective steam pump: An Account of Mr Savery s Engine, for raising water by the help of fire (issue 253). They contain also amongst many others a dissection of the American opossum from Virginia by Tyson (issue 239), a method of extracting the root of an infinite Equation by Moivre (issue 240) a description of a triple rainbow by Halley (issue 240), observations on Giants Causeway (issue 241), some thoughts on vegetation by John Woodward (issue 244), a description of Loch Ness, explaining how deep it is [but, alas, no mention of the monster] (issue 254), correspondence between Wallis and Leibnitz (issue 255), a discourse on coffee by John Houghton (issue 256), A calculation of the credibility of human testimony (issue 257), on the discovery of the bulbourethral glands by Cowper (also known as Cowpers glands), and also a letter by Benjamin Woodroose concerning several observations in Maryland (issue 259). They also contain an objection to Leeuwenhoek s assertion on the generative properties of male semen by Dr Lister (issue 244), and Leeuwenhoek s reply (in issue 255), in which there are two articles from him: i) containing his answers to objections made to his opinions, and ii) concerning the Animalcula in Semine humano, in which he argues from his own experimental researches that the shape of sperm does not resemble a homunculus. This letter has a good claim to be the first serious scientific article on human developmental biology, posing as it does (goaded by the objection to his work), the question of how a fully formed animal shape can emerge from a sperm that bears no outward resemblance to its final developed form.

4to: 1 p. Very good on the first leaf of a bifolium. A third quarto leaf carries the address, in Dampier's hand, with his franking signature 'free | T. Rochester.' Also the oval seal, c.3 cm high, a clear impression in red wax. 24 lines of text. Interesting letter. Dampier begins by thanking Adams for 'your Congratulations to me on my Promotion to the See of Rochester. It is a Situation particularly agreeable to me, as, besides other Circumstances, it does not entirely remove me from my Kentish friends or from my Northern Friends.' Adams is suffering from Gout, and Dampier commiserates: 'I know how to feel for you'. As a result Adams has 'come to a Resolution of giving up the Business of the Trust. it was so safe in your Hands, on whose Zeal & Integrity, Experience & Abilities I have such Confidence, that I cannot but think myself under a personal obligation to you for having continued it so long.' Dampiers promotion 'will necessarily withdraw me from a constant Residence at Durham', but he will continue to pay 'such attention to the Concerns of the Trust as my Brethren may think proper to committ to me. I cannot from some late occurrences flatter myself that this will be much'. He would be 'glad if I could as easily part with my Connexion with the Trust as you have with yours; This would be a great Relief to me, but I cannot look to it.' He promises that he 'will never pass through Alnwick to the Castle without dining with you.' In 1776 Dampier succeeded his father as master of Sherburn Hospital, near Durham. Between 1778 and 1808 he was a prebendary of Durham Cathedral.
