Excerpt from The Mysteries of Nature Revealed, or the Identity of Light, Heat and Electricity Fully Established: Embracing a Variety of New and Original Subjects of Great Practical Utility A round body may be conceived to be composed of arches or rings, * decreasing in size as you approach the centre, the last one being the smallest, and this last could not possibly have any greater pressure than the external one. Geologists suppose that the centre of the earth is a liquid mass if this is the case, why dont the earth cave in, and press out this liquid matter towards the surface, which would inevitably be the case, were there such a pressure as they suppose to exist. But in all probability there is neither liquid matter nor pressure, at least to the ex tent that they suppose. We have mentioned these circumstances, in order to show that philosophers, like other classes of men, are liable to be mistaken, and that we consider it no arrogance or presumption to endeavor to undeceive them (however elevated their station in life) or to advance opinions which we consider more plausi ble than theirs. The author would further observe, that since the manuscript was first written, he has read a great many of the works of medical authors regarding the contagious nature of diseases, and he finds he has been anticipated in a great: many of his observations on that subject; however, he trusts it will be found that there are still some original and useful, which may interest the reader, and on this account he has thought it best to retain them.

In 'Experiments and Observations Tending to Illustrate the Nature and Properties of Electricity' by William Sir Watson, the author explores the groundbreaking experiments and observations that shed light on the nature and properties of electricity. Written in a clear and concise style, Watson delves into the scientific context of the 18th century, providing detailed explanations of various electrical phenomena and their implications for the understanding of natural philosophy. The book serves as a foundational text in the history of electricity and science, influencing future research and discoveries in the field. The meticulous documentation of experiments and observations make this book a valuable resource for both students and scholars interested in the history of electricity and scientific inquiry. William Sir Watson, a respected scientist and experimenter of his time, was inspired to write this book based on his own extensive research and contributions to the study of electricity. Watson's expertise and meticulous approach to experimentation are evident throughout the book, solidifying his reputation as a leading figure in the field of electricity. His passion for uncovering the mysteries of nature and sharing his findings with the scientific community are reflected in the detailed accounts presented in this seminal work. I highly recommend 'Experiments and Observations Tending to Illustrate the Nature and Properties of Electricity' to anyone interested in the history of science, particularly the study of electricity. This book offers a fascinating insight into the early understanding of electricity and the pioneering work of William Sir Watson in advancing this field of science.
