Cookery, Voyages at sea, Confectionary, Making of Drinks, Chymistry, and Dying. With an account of the Price a good big Engine will cost, and of the Profit it will afford. By Denys Papin, M.D., Fellow of the Royal Society. London, Printed for Henry Bonwicke, at the Red Lyon, in St. Paul's Churchyard. 1681. 4to.-(First edition of the curious work in question, and printed in consequence of an order of the council of the Royal Society, dated 8th December, 1680, and signed CHR. WREN.) 3. La manière d'amollir les os, et de faire cuir toutes sortes de viandes en peu de temps et à peu de frais, avec une description de la machine dont il faut se servir à cet effet. Paris, 1682. 12mo.-(Erroneously stated by Ducoux to have been the first edition. A still later edition, also in French, was published at Amsterdam, in 1688, in 12mo.) 4. A Continuation of the New Digester of Bones, &c.; sive continuatio novi Digestoris ossium autore Dionys. Papino, M.D., et Societatis Regiæ Socio. Londini, apud Joseph Streater. 1687. in 4to. 5. Recueil de diverses pièces touchant quelques nouvelles machines. Cassel, 1695. 12mo. This little work is one of extreme rarity. M. Arago, in his Notice Scientifique sur les Machines à Vapeur,' in the Annuaire du Bureau des Longitudes' for 1830, has repeatedly cited and given extracts from it, but does not mention what copy of it he had the privilege of using. M. Hachette, however, in his 'Histoire des Machines à Vapeur de'puis leur origine jusqu'à nos jours,' published in March of the same year, 1830, says that only one copy of the Recueil' was known to exist at Paris, which then belonged to M. Molard, of the Academy of Sciences. Dr. Ducoux, in 1838, says that M. Molard's copy was, he believed, acquired by the Royal Library, and soon afterwards abstracted by a reader, "whom the librarian "thought he might describe as an Englishman;" but he produces no further evidence in support of so singular, vague, and ungracious an allegation. In the library of the British Museum, however, there is a copy, which was included in the catalogue of that noble collection published forty years ago, and has been preserved with better care than appears to have been the case with the French one. This interesting volume,-for an inspection of which we were indebted to the well-known courtesy of Mr. Panizzi and his able assistant Mr. T. Watts,—had hitherto, [1859], been bound up with some other old treatises on mechanical subjects, (one of which is Papin's Nouvelle manière 'pour lever l'eau par la force du feu,' 1707); it is a duodecimo of 176 pp., including title, dedication, list of contents, and index; with 3 plates, containing 27 figures; and appears to be perfect and in excellent condition. The dissertations contained in it are;-1. A description of the Hessian pump. 2. On several ways of saving fuel. 3. On some new methods of draining water out of mines. 4. The memoir of 1690, (see pp. 136-142, suprà), 6. On the way to · with some additions. 5. On running waters. estimate moving forces. 7. On instruments proper to preserve flame under water. 8. On the Hessian diving-bell. 9. Inaugural harangue, delivered when Papin was admitted Professor of Mathematics at Marburg. 6. Fasciculus dissertationum de novis quibusdam machinis atque aliis argumentis philosoph. Marburgii Cottorum, 1695. Small 8vo. Plates.-(Said by Brunet to be a Translation of the Recueil;' see Manuel des Libraires,' 1843, v. PAPIN.) M. Brunet, however, states that both the Recueil' and the Fas'ciculus' include the Treatise on 'La Manière d'amollir les Os;' from which we are led to imagine that this author, usually so accurate, has never had the advantage of seeing a copy of either the French or the Latin collection in question. 7. Nouvelle manière pour élever l'eau par la force du Feu, mise en lumière. Cassel, 1707. Small 8vo. 8. Ars nova ad aquam ignis adminiculo efficacissimè elevandam. Franc. 1707. 8vo. 2.

In the third and fourth volumes of Birch's History of the Royal Society' there are recorded many experiments and observations communicated by Papin, as well as some details of the pecuniary aid, "convenient lodging in Gresham College," and further encouragement, which he received from the Society. From one of the earliest of those entries, (vol. iii. p. 486), it appears that on The History of the Royal Society ' of London for improving of Natural Knowledge, fiom its first rise. In which the most considerable of those papers communicated to the Society, which have hitherto not been published, are inserted in their proper order, as a 'Supplement to the Philosophical Trans'actions. By Thomas Birch, D.D., Secre Stary to the Royal Society." London, 1757, 4 vols. 4to. the 22nd of May, 1679, Papin was introduced by Mr. Hooke; and from one of the last of them, (vol. iv. p. 557), that "It was "ordered that Dr. Papin have a present of four copies of the History of Fishes, and a letter testimonial, under the seal of the Society, of the good services rendered them by him." 66 To one of Hooke's works, also, viz. his 'Lectures de Potentiâ • Restitutivâ, or of Spring,' published in 1678, there is appended, among other Collections,' Dr. Papin's Letter, containing a Description of a Wind-Fountain, and his own particular con'trivance about the forcer of its Syringe.' 3.
