TO THE
Royal Society.
T will not become me, to adde any Attributes to a Title, which has a Fulness of Lustre from his Majesties Denomination.
In these Rude Collections, which are onely the Gleanings of my private diversions in broken hours, it may appear, that many Minds and Hands are in many places industriously employed, under Your Countenance and by Your Example, in the pursuit of those Excellent Ends, which belong to Your Heroical Undertakings.
Some of these are but the Intimations of large Compilements. And some Eminent Members of Your Society, have obliged the Learned World with Incomparable Volumes, which are not herein mention'd, because they were finisht, and in great Reputation abroad, before I entred upon this Taske. And no small Number are at present engaged for those weighty Productions, ​which require both Time and Assistance, for their due Maturity. So that no man can from these Glimpses of Light take any just Measure of Your Performances, or of Your Prosecutions; but every man may perhaps receive some benefit from these Parcels, which I guessed to be somewhat conformable to Your Design.
This is my Solicitude, That, as I ought not to be unfaithful to those Counsels you have committed to my Trust, so also that I may not altogether waste any minutes of the leasure you afford me. And thus have I made the best use of some of them, that I could devise; To spread abroad Encouragements, Inquiries, Directions, and Patterns, that may animate, and draw on Universal Assistances.
The Great God prosper You in the Noble Engagement of Dispersing the true Lusstre of his Glorious Works, and the Happy Inventions of obliging Men all over the World, to the General Benefit of Mankind: So wishes with real Affections,
Your humble and obedient Servant
HENRY OLDENBURG.
# Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (1665-1886)/Volume 2/Epistle Dedicatory

To the Right Honourable
William Lord Viscount Brounker,
Chancellor to Her Majesty,
and
President to the Royal Society, &c.
    My Lord,
fter I had dedicated the First Volume of these Philosophical Occurrences to the R. Society, to whose service I have dedicated my self, I thought it my next duty to present the Second to your Lordship, who have for so many years with so high and universal an Applause presided in that Illustrious Assembly, and there given full proof both of the vast extent of your knowledg, and the incomparable solidity of your judgment in all the various Arguments and Matters there produced, observed, experimented and discoursed of. This, my Lord, though it deserves a far better Pen to be proclaim'd to the world, then mine; yet did I think, I might be suffer'd in the crowd to cast in my voice, and to deliver the truth and my perswasion thereof in thefe plain expressions. To which I shall add no more but my humble acknowledgments for your Lordships particular favour and goodness, in condescending on all occasions, to encourage these (though rude and undigested) Communications, and thereby to fortifie (against the obloquies of some singular men) the endeavours of the Authour for the improving and enlarging his Philosophical Commerce; which, being done, may perhaps be a means to render these Papers less inconsiderable for the future.
          I am,
             My Lord,
                Your Lordships
London. March 2, 1667 8
                   Very humble, and very much
                            obliged Servant,
                               Henry Oldenburg.

# Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (1665-1886)/Volume 54/An Account of a remarkable Tide at Bristol

Read Feb. 23, 1764.
At Rownham Passage, a mile below the city, the ferry-men observed the tide to ebb almost instantaneousy, and to sink at least four feet perpendicular. Then it flowed in again, as it should have regularly done.
Ar King-Road, which is about three miles below the city, the officers observed the king's boat to float suddenly, which they attributed to a great fresh comming. But they found afterwards the boat presently aground.
I could get no intelligence of any thing observable, that happened in the river Severn, excepting that at Gloucester, and at Worcester, the inundation sunk ​very fast on that day. But most undoubtedly the strong rapid tide of the Severn must have been affected in a very remarkable manner, had there been any curious persons to take notice of it.
# Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (1665-1886)/Volume 54/An Account of the Effects of Lightening at South Weald, in Essex

Read June 28, 1764.
On Monday June 18th, 1764, between twelve and one (about three hours before the time when the thunder and lightening happened in London, by which St. Bride's Steeple and Essex-Street were damaged) there was a storm at South-Weald, attended with uncommonly loud thunder. The lightening struck the weather-cock, and passing along the iron bars, upon which it stands, rushed against the wall of the turret, and has broken a space from the top of the turret to the leads of the tower, about four feet wide, being about one third of the circumference of the turret and facing the North. The weather-cock, and irons that support it seem to be unhurt. The ​ walls of the turret were made of rough stones and mortar; and part of what is beaten down has fallen upon the leads of the tower underneath, and part upon the roof of the church, which is greatly damaged. The stair-case also, which leads up to the turret, is so full of the stones and mortar, that it is with great difﬁculty and some hazard that any one can go up it. From a leaden spout at this West end of the church, which only comes down to near the top of the West window, the plaster is beaten of the wall for some inches in breadth quite to the window; and at the bottom of the upright iron bars of this window several of the stones are cracked, and the wall is chipped here and there from thence to the ground. The same is observable in the stones at the bottom of the upright iron bars in the East window, which is also near a leaden spout that comes down from the roof over the chancel, the end of which rests upon a buttress, and does not reach the ground by several feet; which buttress is cracked, as well as the adjoining wall. On the inside of this wall, within the church, there is a large wooden frame, which holds the commandments. This frame at the left hand corner is supported by an iron holdfast driven into the wall, which was mentioned above as being cracked on the outside under the leaden spout. The plaster of the wall, for three or four inches all round this holdfast, within the church, is beaten off; and to the left hand there is a space, slanting from the holdfast toward the ground, five or six inches wide and three or four feet long, from which all the mortar is forced away. That part of the wooden frame, where the holdfast is fixed, is shattered. The canvas, upon which the ​commandments are painted, which was in this wooden frame, is torn from the frame on the two sides of it next the holdfast, and is rent besides in several places.
The whole appearance of the damage done to this church very much favours the conjecture of that sagacious observer of nature, Dr. Franklin, who thinks it probable, that, by means of metallic rods or wires reaching from the roofs to the ground, any buildings may be secured from the terrible effects of lightening.
# Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (1665-1886)/Volume 54/The Description of a New Hygrometer

Fig. 2.
Read Nov. 8, 1764.
Now it is plain, that as much as the pannel expands between F and G, so much will the pully G be removed farther from the pin F; and just so much will the cord DE turn the pulley G backward; and any point in the ​groove of the pulley H ten times as much, because it is ten times the diameter of G in the groove: and this motion will cause the cord IK to turn the pulley L (and draw up the weight N) ten times as much as the pulley G is turned. So that, if the pannel expands a tenth part of an inch, by moist air, the pulley L will be turned quite round: and half round if the pannel expands but a 20th part of an inch: As the air grows dry, the pannel contracts, and the weight M descends and turns all the pullies the contrary way.
The back of the plate AA (Fig. 2.) is screwed to the other side of the frame (Fig. 1.) so as the straight edge of the plate may be even with the uppermost side of the frame, and the center B (Fig. 2.) may be directly over the center of the pully L (Fig. 1.) on whose axis the index BC (Fig. 2.) is fixed. And as the pulley L is turned by the cord IK, the index will he moved on the plate, and shew the degrees of moisture or dryness of the air.
If the expansion and contraction of the panel be so great as to move the index beyond the limits of the degrees on the plate, this may be remedied by putting on a larger pulley at L. — But if not great enough, in very wet and very dry weather, to move the index through all the degrees on the plate, the pulley L must be made less in diameter accordingly.
N. B. In three or four years at most, a new pannel should be put into the frame: because, when the old one has been so long exposed to the air, it will almost cease to be affected thereby. And therefore, a large thick piece of deal should be kept in reserve for that purpose; and about the thickness of a card always planed off that side from which the new pannel is to be taken.
At G and M, there must be small knobs of some hard wood glued on the back of the pannel below the graduated plate, to make a proper thickness for holding the wires upright and fast on which the pullies G and M do turn: for otherwise, the wires would soon loosen in the pannel.
# Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (1665-1886)/Volume 54/Extract of a Letter from Mr. John Winthrop, Professor of Mathematicks in Cambridge, New England, to James Short, A. M. F. R. S.

SIR,Dated June 6, 1764.
Read Nov. 15, 1764.
I therefore beg leave now to trouble you with the substance of it. Your remarks turned on two points, the longitude of the place of observation, and the equation of time when found by equal altitudes. As to the first, I was fo diffident of the observation on the Moon, that I chose to keep to the longitude of St. John's, as set down by Sir Jonas Moore, who makes it 52° 50′ West of Greenwich. Though I did not think it needful to mention this doubt in the pamphlet, which was published soon after I got home, to gratify the curiosity of my countrymen, yet I expressed it fully in a written account of the observation, drawn up in a different form, and sent to the late Dr. Bradley, but which I believe never reached his hands.
I am, &c.
John Winthrop.
# Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (1665-1886)/Volume 54/Observations on the Eclipse of the Sun at Chatham, April 1, 1764

Sir,
Read May 24, 1764.
"I am infinitely obliged to you for your kind present of the telescope glasses. I got them most curiously mounted, and, as you said, they make a 12 foot telescope, which takes in the whole Sun nearly. I set my watch by a very good vertical sun-dial, precisely at 9 o’clock, and at 8 minutes after I perceived the Moon just enter on the Sun. About half an hour after 10, the eclipse was barely annular, the light of the Sun below the Moon being but just visible, and less than a hair in the telecope. At 55 minutes past 11 the eclipse ended, and left the Sun quite round."
By this, Sir, I think you may safely conclude, that Chatham was not much more than a mile (perhaps less) south-east of the limit; which therefore passed over Rochester-bridge, or very near it.
Your most obedient humble servant,
John Bevis.

# Old man's wish/Buxom Joan

The words of this song first appeared in Act 3 of Love for Love, a play by William Congreve, first published in 1695.
BUXOM JOAN.
A Soldier and a Sailor, A Tinker and a Taylor. Had once a doubtful strife, Sir, To make a maid a wife, Sir, Whose name was buxom Joan;
For now the time was ended, And she no more intended To lick her lips at men, Sir. And know the sheets in vain, Sir, Or ly one night alone.
The soldier swore like thunder, He lov’d her more than plunder, And shew’d her many a scar, Sir, Which he had brought from far, Sir, By fighting for her sake.
But whilst the three were prating, The sailor slyly waiting, Thought it came about, That they three should fall out, Sir, He then might play his part.
And just e’en as he meant, Sir, To loggerheads they went, Sir, And then he let fly at her, ​A shot twixt wind and water. Which won this fair maids heart
# The Cavalier Songs and Ballads of England/When the King enjoys his own again

Cavalier Songs and Ballads.
This is perhaps the most popular of all the Cavalier songs—a favour which it partly owes to the excellent melody with which it is associated. The song, says Mr Chappell, is ascertained to be by Martin Parker, by the following extract from the Gossips’ Feast, or Moral Tales, 1647. “By my faith, Martin Parker never got a fairer treat: no, not when he indited that sweet ballad, When the King enjoys his own again.” In the poet’s Blind Man's Bough (or Buff), 1641, Martin Parker says,
but this song was printed without his name or initials, at a time when it would have been dangerous to give either his own name or that of his publisher. Ritson calls it the most famous song of any time or country. Invented to support the declining interest of Charles I., it served afterwards with more success to keep up the spirits of the Cavaliers, and promote the restoration of his son; an event which it was employed to celebrate all over the kingdom. At the Revolution of 1688, it of course became an adherent of the exiled King, whose cause it never deserted. It did equal service in 1715 and 1745. The tune appears to have been originally known as Marry me, ​marry me, quoth he, bonnie lass. Booker, Pond, Hammond, Rivers, Swallow, Dade, and “The Man in the Moon,” were all astrologers and Almanac makers in the early days of the civil war. “The Man in the Moon” appears to have been a loyalist in his predictions. Hammond’s Almanac is called “bloody” because the compiler always took care to note the anniversary of the death, execution, or downfal of a Royalist.

Air—“Cocachelunk.”
Tell us not we will make blunders, That our hopes are but a dream, What reck we of Lincoln’s thunders, They are not the things they seem.
The Southrons all are bold and fearless, Who fight for freedom as their goal, Of lives and fortunes they are careless, Seeking liberty of soul.
We’ve the generals that are wanted, They have but one famous name, Scott for fuss and feathers vaunted, And they’re welcome to that same.
Then they’ve Bombastes F. Butler, Conqueror of a pump go brave, Lying, swearing, whiskey-gutter, Harborer of many a slave.
Let us then be up and doing, We will beat them sure as fate, Nigger-worshippers pursuing With a most inveterate hate.
While we’ve Lee and Johnson peerless, Bragg and Beauregard so true, We’re of George McClellan fearless, Though he boasts what he can do.
So farewell “old Fuss and Feathers,” Good bye “Picayune” also, You’ll make excellent bell weathers, To lose a fight in a week or so.
