  A discourse made before the Royal Society, Decemb. 10, 1674 concerning the nature, causes, and power of mixture / by Nehemiah Grew.

summary:
  1. Congruity , or aptitude and respondence betwixt the Sizes and Figures of parts to be mixed : whereby bodies may be truly called the Instrumental Causes of their own Mixture , As when a plain answers to a plain , a square to a square , a convex to a concave , or a less to a greater or an equal , &c. according to which Respondencies in the parts of Bodies , they are more or less easily mingleable . What we have said of Principles ; and of Mixture as consequent thereupon ; may be a foundation for an intelligible account , of the Nature and Cause of most of the Intrinsick Properties , and Qualities of Bodies : as of Gravity , Levity , Fixity , Fluidity , Angularity , Roundness , Heat , Cold , Blackness , Whiteness , Sowerness , Sweetness , Fragrancy , Fetidness , and very many more .

summary:
  the Honesty of F. Fra. Preyhausen , who deserves to be chronicled for his Faithfulness & Truth to F.

  The aerial noctiluca, or, Some new phœnomena, and a process of a factitious self-shining substance imparted in a letter to a friend living in the country / by the honourable Robert Boyle ...

summary:
  For having purposely kept certain Fish in a Glass , freed from Air , till I concluded it had lay'n longer than was necessary to bring it to that degree of Putrefaction , which was wont to make such Fish , at that time of the year , to shine , I could not perceive in the Cavity of the Glass the least glimpse of light : and presently after I had let in the outward Air , it did ( according to my expectation ) as it were , kindle a flame , in the proximately dispos'd matter , or at least produce in it a manifest light . And to examine that suspicion , I thought it less proper to make the foregoing Tryals with a more vigorous Noctiluca , then in a substance , wherein , as in that we have hitherto employ'd , the disposition to be kindled , or excited to shine , was but faint ; so that being , as long as it remain'd , unexcited , opacous and dark , the absolute , or almost absolute , necessity of the concurrence of Air to the actual shining ( that constantly ensu'd upon its Contact ) of the dispos'd matter , seem'd manifest enough .

  A letter to a gentleman concerning alkali and acid being an answer to a late piece, intituled, A letter to a physician concerning acid and alkali : to which is added A specimen of a new hypothesis for the sake of the lovers of medicine / by Thomas Emes ...

summary:
  But what has Poetry to do with the pretended new Hypothesis of Acids , or the Dialogue between Alkali and Acid ? In answer to my Assertion , That Alkalies , when in Solution , are not coagulated alone , but by meeting with Acids ; and so that the Chalky Matter in the Gout will not prove the Disease caus'd by Alkali , rather than Acid ; he replys , pag. 81.

  Curiosities in chymistry being new experiments and observations concerning the principles of natural bodies / written by a person of honour ; and published by his operator, H.G.

summary:
  Since Tallow , as well as every other Body , is materially nothing else but water Coagulated by a seminal Acid , and since 't is only the Acid Particles that feed the Flame ; it follows , that when they are consum'd , he remainder , being robb'd of , the Coagulating , Acid must return into Elementary Water , and therefore 't is insensibly dissipated like a Vapour : even as the water of Spirit of Wine kindled vanishes into a Vapour . The diversity , that is among Natural Bodies , is wholly owing to the different Seminal Ideas , that regulate the Operation of the Plastick Spirit , which Coagulates Water into various Substances , differing in Figure , Solidity , Bigness , Order and Connection of Parts , and other Modifications , according as its Motions are guided by these Ideas .

  Experiments and considerations about the porosity of bodies in two essays / by the honourable Robert Boyle ...

summary:
  Having then made several inquiries fit for my purpose , his Lordship told me , that when he did , as he was wont to do from time to time , ( though not every day ) inject with a Syringe some actually warm medicated Liquor into his Thorax , to cleanse and cherish the Parts , he should quickly and plainly find in his Mouth the tast and smell of the Drugs , wherewith the Liquor had been impregnated . That part of this Narrative which relates to Injections may be much confirm'd by what is delivered by Galen himself , who says that Mulsum or Honeyed Water , being injected at the Orifice of Wounds penetrating into the cavity of the Thorax , has been observed to be in part received into the Lungs , and discharged out of the Aspera Arteria by coughing .

  Essays of the strange subtilty great efficacy determinate nature of effluviums. To which are annext New experiments to make fire and flame ponderable. : Together with A discovery of the perviousness of glass. : Also An essay, about the origine and virtue of gems. / By the Honourable Robert Boyle ... ; To which is added The prodromus to a dissertation concerning solids naturally contained within solids giving an account of the Earth, and its productions. By Nicholas Steno. ; Englished by H.O.

summary:
  The Author having many years ago written an Essay about an Experiment he made of Nitre , by whose Phaenomena he endeavour'd to exemplifie some parts of the Corpuscular Philosophy , especially the Production of Qualities ; he afterwards threw together divers occurring thoughts and experiments , which he suppos'd might be imployed by way of Notes , to prove or illustrate those Doctrines , and especially those that concern'd the Qualities of Bodies ; and among these observing those that are call'd Occult , to be Subjects uncultivated enough , ( at least in the way that seem'd to him proper , ) he propos'd to handle them more largely than most of the rest ; and in order to that Design he judg'd it almost necessary , to premise some Considerations and experimental Collections about the Nature and power of Effluviums , about the Pores of Bodies and Figures of Corpuscles , and about the efficacy of such Local-motions as are wont either to be judged very faint , or to be pass'd by unheeded . WHether we suppose with the Antient and Modern Atomists , that all sensible Bodies are made up of Corpuscles , not only insensible , but indivisible ; or whether we think with the Cartesians , and ( as many of that Party teach us ) with Aristotle , that Matter , like Quantity , is indefinitely , if not infinitely divisible : It will be consonant enough to either Doctrine , that the Effluvia of Bodies may consist of Particles extremely small .
