The electrical philosopher. 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. To which is subjoined, A Postscript, Containing Strictures upon the uncandid Animadversions of the Monthly Reviewers on those Essays. By R. Lovett, Lay-Clerk of the Cathedral-Church of Worcester.

Philosophical essays, in three parts. Containing I. An enquiry into the nature and properties of the electrical fluid, in order to explain, illustrate and confirm the truth of Sir Isaac Newton's Doctrine of a Subtile Medium or Aether. II. A dissertation on the nature of fire in general, and Production of Heat in particular. III. A miscellaneous discourse, wherein the forementioned active Principle is shewn to be the only probable mechanical Cause of Motion, Cohesion, Gravity, Magnetism, and other Phaenomena of Nature. To which is subjoin'd, by way of Appendix, a clear and concise Account of the Variation of the Magnetic Needle or Mariner's Compass; by which the Longitude is investigated on the most simple Principles. And, to render the whole more intelligible, a Glossary of Terms is added. By R. Lovett, Lay-Clerk, Of the Cathedral Church of Worcester. A Fool may find what a wise Man hath overlooked.
