When I was in France; I was press’d by M. Le Noir, and M. Cadet, to give a Description of my Stove for burning Smoke, they conceiving it might be useful to the Citizens of Paris. I promis’d to do it, but had not time while I staid there. When at Sea, I wrote that with some other Pieces, which being read to our Philosophical Society here, are now printed in their Transactions. I send you herewith a Copy. I address’d it to you, wishing that if those publick Spirited Gentlemen continue in the mind of publishing it, you would do me the Honour to take care of the Translation. Mr. Cadet has my Plate for it ready engrav’d, which I left with him. The other two Pieces are; One on the Causes and Cure of Smoky Chimneys address’d to Dr. Ingenhausz our common Friend, the other containing maritime Observations address’d to our common Brother. Mr. Grand will show them to you if you desire it: tho’ you will receive the Volume (by the first Ship from this Port) which contains them all. There is a Volume also for the Academy. I am, ever, my dear Friend, Yours most affectionately
