Transcription
Adams had recently written about Leeuwenhoek’s microscopes and their efficacy. He comments on their use and writes about others working with microscopes. Adams apologizes for sending his observations on the ‘inner Membrane of the ear’. He saw that a similar study was published in the Philosophical Transactions, which was of a superior quality to his treatise.
