ANALYSIS OF STOCKHOLM MSS.
VII. From p. 163 to p. 355, at an interval usually of ten pages,
an interesting analysis of some historical work on Sweden is contained.
The analysis sometimes occupies only two or three lines, at another
time it covers a half, or a whole column of the page. The blank
part of these pages is mostly filled up by portions of the following
extracts:
VIII. Excerpts from Roumette on the deluge and paradise,
pp. 165 to 171.
IX. Excerpts from Gregory’s treatise on Astronomy, pp. 176 to 186.
X. A paper on the Calculus Exponentialis, pp. 191 to 205 ; this
paper is partly crossed out.
XI. Experiments from Musschenbroek, pp. 205 to 231.
XII. Additional extracts from Gregory’s Astronomy, pp. 232 to 257.
XIII
. Opinions of the philosophers, Kepler, Descartes, and Leibnitz,
extracted from Gregory, p. 257.
XIV. The anatomy of the brain and the nerves from Willis,288
pp. 261 to 275.
XV. Extract from Polhem, p. 277.
XVI. Extracts from the "Mémoires de l’Académie des Sciences"
for the year 1733, pp. 278, 279.
XVII. Some vocabularics or lists of words, p. 283 ; these are
crossed out.
XVIII. Plan of a work on Mathematics, pp. 395 to 398.
XIX. A paper on Motion, p. 399.

head of Algebraica et Geometrica in Vol. II of the Photo-lithographed
