page no 482 note * Since this paper was read, I have been enabled to carry back the history of the Balance Barometer, or at least of the experiment described by Desaguliers, considerably farther. In Cotes's Lectures on Hydrostatics, &c, published by Smith in 1747 (but which were delivered more than forty years previously), the experiment is fully detailed and explained. It is also ascribed to Wallis, as well as an ingenious modification of it well adapted for the lecture table.
