The philosophical grammarbeing a view of the present state of experimented physiology, or natural philosophy. In four parts. Part I. Somatology, treateth of the universal nature and properties of matter, or substance, and the specifick qualities of natural bodies. Part II. Cosmology, exhibiteth a general view of the universe, and its great constituent parts ; the sun, moon, planets, fix'd stars, &c. Part III. Aerology, compriseth the philosophy of the atmosphere, shewing the wonderful nature and properties of the air, wind, meteors, and other phænomena therein. Part IV. Geology, containeth a philosophical view of the terraqueous globe, in all its parts and productions ; as minerals, metals, stones, &c. The laws of fluids ; the sea, its tides, &c. Of rivers, springs, &c. Of vegetation, and the nature of plants, trees, &c. Of the parts of animal bodies ; and a survey of the nature of beasts, birds, fishes, insects, reptiles, shell-animals, &c. The whole extracted from the writings of the greatest naturalists of the last and present age, treated in the familiar way of dialogue, adapted purposely to the capacities of the youth of both sexes ; and adorned and illustrated with variety of copper-plates, maps, &c.

A new compleat and universal system or body of decimal arithmetickcontaining, I. The whole doctrine of decimal numbers, not only the plain and terminate, but also such as repeat or circulate ad infinitum; and a plain but perfect management of both, laid down and explained in all the fundamental rules of plain arithmetick, and by logarithmes. II. The application and use of decimal arithmetick in all the parts or branches of arithmetical science; viz. vulgar arithmetich, vulgar fractions, duodecimal, and sexagesimal arithmetick; also in algebra and logarithms. In all which its excellency and absolute necessity is fully evinced. III. Its application and use in all such parts of the mathematicks as absolutely require its assistance; viz. plain trigonometry, and the arts depending thereon; as, navigation, fortification, altimetry, and longimetry; also the mensuration of all kinds of superfices and solid bodies; and the arts resulting therefrom; as, gauging, surveying, &c. IV. A new and compleat sett of decimal tables never before published, shewing by inspection the value of all kinds of decimals (without the tedious methods of reductions hitherto used) to four or six places of figures; also all the common tables very much inlarged, corrected, and improved; wherein all the circulating numbers are marked. With all other tables of interest, annuities, exchange, &c. necessary to render the work compleat. V. An exact and accurate canon of logarithms for natural numbers. And thro' the whole, several things new and useful, not here express'd
