Transcription
Gray praises the Philosophical Transactions, especially the inventions, experiments, and discoveries involving the production of light and glass tubes. He relays detailed accounts of twelve of his own experiments involving luminosity and glass tubes and mentions his invention of a glass to be used for cupping. Gray was an experimental philosopher who established a rapport with the Royal Society and Royal Greenwich Observatory, published articles in the Transactions, and experimented with electricity (Michael Ben-Chaim, Gray, Stephen (bap. 1666, d. 1736), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/11354, accessed 26 June 2013]).
