Transcription

Cuppage thanks Sloane for considering him worthy of a Royal Society Fellowship. Preparations for the teaching of mathematics in Bristol kept him from sending what Sloane asked. Cuppage relays an account of, and some remarks on, petrification and discusses the nature and design barometers. He asks Sloane to acquaint the Royal Society with his design.
