Preface, p. 3, l. 14.—Charlatanery is only to be construed into an opinion, that the recommendation of the Tar Water was too general, and no ways to be attached to the literary reputation of one who ranks so deservedly high as the learned Bishop. P. 6. L. 29.—Supposing the height of the atmosphere at Bath to be 45 miles, it is invariably the same, whether the mercury in the barometer be low or high. P. 9, i.. 22. From the precipitation of Sulphur, is is probable that the Gas is principally sulphureted Hydrogen. P.22, l. 17.—Vegetable impressions are particularly found in the pennant stone, and which alternates in stratifications with the coal. P 38, The case of Mr. Wansborough was extracted from that valuable periodical work, the Lancet, to the Author of which professional gentlemen lie under great obligation. P. 51, in the Note, for gramnivorous, read graminivorous* P. 69, l. 14, for corrhage, read cowhage*
