About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1724 Excerpt: ...or smaller than those of. Watay. (see his Optickpag.,341.) and who besides him would;he able to suppqfefthe Pores of Glass to;be. 900 Times less than those os Gold?, And. to, be fatisfied there is no such thing in Nature: as. that which, goes under the Name of AEther, we have only to come to the following Considerations, by which we shall soon find, that if Nature was provided with a Fiuit of so extraordinary a Vibration as the faid Author pretends AEther to.be, it would of consequence follow, that we ihould never have come to know any thing os what we call Winter, which only comes to pass for want of such a vibrating Fiuit.

Page of his Optick, he pretends to deduce all Colours from Light; he (hews plain enough, that he does neither know what Light is, nor what Colours are. For Light properly, and in it self, is nothing else but the Reflection of the Sun communicated from one Particle of Air to the other, just as the Image of a Man is communicated from one Looking-glass to another; for if the Sun's Heat, otherways speaking, the Rays, or Exhalation of the Sun (which is generally taken for Light) did come to us in so violent an Agitation, as to be capable of imitating Light, we, and all
