Containing, a new system of physics, founded upon the principle of an universal plenum of elementary fire: Wherein the Nature of elementary Fire is explained, its Office pointed out, its extensive Influence and Utility in explaining many of the most abstruse Phenomena of Nature shewn, and the Grand Desideratum in particular, which has been hitherto either entirely given up as inexplicable, or else sought after in vain by the most able Naturalists, is at length happily obtained, viz. The Cause of Gravity, the Cause of Cohesion, &c. &c. The greater Part of the Publication is disposed in the Form of a Dialogue, as the most familiar Method of conveying Instruction; and the whole is offered to the Public by Way of Supplement to the Philosophical Essays lately published by the same Author.
