acetous dr^ which terms he heard me make life of, and which he calls conceits, and an intimation that he can explain the pheno^ menon of detonatvm without fuppofmg a de- ftruflion of the acid. This was an eafy and neceffary refult from fome of my new expe- nments, efpecially thofe that relate to dephlo- gifticated air, in the difcovery of which he certainly had nothing to do. His whole philofophical theory refts upon the foundation of there being diftind pri- mary elements of matt-rr, of which ...he makes feven, viz. earth, ivatcr, alkali, acid, air, phh- gijlon, and light. All thefe, he afTerts, p. g^ to be impenetrable, im-mutable^ and inconvertible. But nothing can be more uncertain, or ha- zardous, than fuch a pofition as this. We are far from being fufficiently advanced in the knowledge of nature to pronounce concerning its primary conftituent parts. Dr. H— - — s more efpecially afTerts, p. 17, that the pretended coiiverfion of water into (arth is an erroneous notion. But while he pre- tends to have confidcred the experiments of Boyle, Borrichius, \Va,llerius, Leidenfrofl, Margraaft, Eller, and Lavoiiier (which is caiculated to convey an idea of his extenfive j-eading) he has overlooked the more deeifive Thilofophical Empirkifm.
