CHRONOLOCICAL
ACCOUNT.
An English translation of this work prepared by Mr. Charles
E. Strutt was published by the Swedenborg Association in 1847,
under the following title: "Some Specimens of a Work on the
Principles of Chemistry, with other treatises." The other treatises
published in that volume are nos. 29- 31.
A favourable notice of this work appeared in the Acta Erudi
torum of Leipzig, in the number for February, 1722, pp. 83 to 87.
At the close of his review the critic says, "It is to be observed that
the illustrious author endeavoured to give an account a priori of
all those facts which are established experimentally; and indeed
that he endeavours to deduce the ultimate causes from the shape,
the size, the weight, and the interstices of the particles. In doing
so he displayed much penetration, and no less industry; but how
much of truth he attained in his theories, we leave to others to
determine."
A second edition of this work was published in Amsterdam by
John and Abraham Strander in 1727, and a third in Hildburghausen
in 1754 by J. G. Hanisch.

This work was translated into English by Mr. C. E. Strutt, and

together with the "Principles of Chemistry," (see no. 28) pp. 183 to
211. A second edition of the original Latin was published in
Amsterdam in 1727.
This work also was favourably reviewed by the Acta Eruditorum
of Leipzig in the number for April, 1722, pp. 225 et seq.

which publication (no. 17) we refer the reader for further particulars.
