Small 8vo. Plates. (A Translation of the Recueil;' see Brunet, Manuel des Libraires, 1843, v. PAPIN. M. Brunet, however, states that both the Recueil' and the Fasciculus' include the Treatise on 'La Manière d'amollir les Os;' from which we are led to imagine that this author, usually so accurate, has never had the advantage of seeing a copy of either the French or the Latin collection in question. We must confess ourselves to be similarly situated in regard to both of those rare, if not unique, works; the only information we possess as to their contents having been derived from the analyses of them given in the Philosophical Transactions' and the Acta Eruditorum.' See above, pp. 133-139.)

In the third and fourth volumes of Birch's ' History of the Royal 'Society' there are recorded many experiments and observations communicated by Papin, as well as some details of the pecuniary aid, "convenient lodging in Gresham College," and further encouragement, which he received from the Society. From one of the earliest of those entries, (vol. iii. p. 486), it appears that on the 22nd of May, 1679, Papin was introduced by Mr. Hooke; and from one of the last of them, (vol. iv. p. 557), that "It was "ordered that Dr. Papin have a present of four copies of the History of Fishes, and a letter testimonial, under the seal of the Society, of the good services rendered them by him."
