_Fig. 4._ Is the double Microscope, with all its Apparatus and Contrivances, as to the Position of the Object, the Light to be thrown upon it, and the Elevation and Depression of the Instrument it self, as the Case requires, _&c._ all which the Figure does plainly shew to the Eye.

_Fig 5._ Is a circular Plate of Ivory, with a small Sphere of Glass in its Center, and a Screw round the Center, to be put upon the first Figure at B C, as a single Microscope.

_Fig. 6._ Is a small Fish, represented in a Cylindrical hollow Glass, so as it is to be placed when the Circulation of Blood in its Tail is to be seen by the single Microscope.

_Fig. 7._ Is the Magick Lanthorn, with its Pedestal T: its Lamp W; its double Convex Glass X Y; its Pictures inverted upon the Plate E F; and its large or gygantick Images at B A projected upon the white Wall, to the Surprize of the Spectators.

_Fig. 8._ Is the Demonstration of the _Camera obscura_, or dark Chamber; which will shew the Object as A B erect. Where C D is the double Convex Glass, ready to form an inverted Picture _b a_: Which by the Reflection of the plain Speculum E F, plac'd obliquely in an Angle of 4°, is formed in an erect Position at _a b_, for the View of the Spectator.

Figure 1. Is one of Sir _Isaac Newton_'s Experiments, to shew the different Refrangibility of the Rays of Light, of the different Colours, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. Where D E is a Parallelogram of Pastboard, having the one half D G blue, and the other half F E red; both strongly illuminated by the same Candle: and having black Silk wrapped several times round it. M N is a Lens or double Convex Glass interpos'd, which gathers upon white Paper the blue Rays sooner at _h i_ than the Red at H I: As appears by the Distinctness of the Colours and of the Silk at those and only those Distances. Where also at somewhat above 12 Feet from the Colours to the Images, the Distance between _h i_ and H I is no less than an Inch and half.

_Fig. 2._ Is another of Sir _Isaac_'s Experiments to the same Purpose: Where X Y represents the Sun: E G, a Window, with a small round Hole at F: within which is a Triangular Glass Prism A B C, by which the Rays of the Sun are differently refracted upon a white Wall or Paper M N; and become an Oblong Image P T; the Violet seen at P as most refracted; and the Red at T, as least refracted: And the intermediate Colours seen in intermediate Places, according to the different Degrees of their Refraction.
