Remarks on the Opinion of Henry Eeles, Esq; concerning the Ascent of Vapour, published in the Philosoph. Transact. Vol. xlix. Part i. p. 124. By Erasmus Darwin, M.D. Communicated by Mr. William Watson, F.R.S.\n\nTo Mr. William Watson, F.R.S.\n\nSIR,\n\nThe inclosed papers were designed for the perusal of the Royal Society; being an endeavour to confute the opinion of Mr. Eeles about the ascent of vapours, published in the last volume of their Transactions. But the author, having no electrical friend, whose sagacity he could confide in, has at length prevailed upon himself to be so free to send them to Mr. Watson; to whom the world is so much indebted for the advancement of their knowledge in electricity.\n\nWhence, Sir, if you should think, that these papers have truth, the great Diana of real philosophers, to patronize them, you will confer a favour upon me, by laying them before that learned Body. If, on the contrary, you should deem this confutation trifling", "source": "olmocr", "added": "2026-01-12", "created": "2026-01-12", "metadata": { "Source-File": "/home/jic823/projects/def-jic823/royalsociety/pdfs/105254.pdf", "olmocr-version": "0.3.4", "pdf-total-pages": 6, "total-input-tokens": 8672, "total-output-tokens": 2344, "total-fallback-pages": 0 }, "attributes": { "pdf_page_numbers": [ [ 0, 0, 1 ], [ 0, 1093, 2 ], [ 1093, 2267, 3 ], [ 2267, 3452, 4 ], [ 3452, 4675, 5 ], [ 4675, 5647, 6 ] ], "primary_language": [ "en", "en", "la", "la", "la", "en" ], "is_rotation_valid": [ true, true, true, true, true, true ], "rotation_correction": [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ], "is_table": [ false, false, false, false, false, false ], "is_diagram": [ false, false, false, false, false, false ] }, "jstor_metadata": { "identifier": "jstor-105254", "title": "A Catalogue of the Fifty Plants from Chelsea Garden, Presented to the Royal Society by the Worshipful Company of Apothecaries, for the Year 1756, Pursuant to the Direction of Sir Hans Sloane, Baronet, Med.
