Smith at the Sign of the Prince's Arms in St. Paul's Church-yard 1692. Advetisements of the Publisher I. Many Ingenious Persons especially Strangers having pressingly endeavour'd to procure a Catalogue of the Honourable Mr. Boyle's Writings and the Author himself being not at leisure to draw one up 't was thought it might be some Satisfaction to those Inquirers if I publish'd the following List as it was drawn out for his own use of the Philosophical Transactions as well as the Printed Volumes by an Ingenious French Physician studious of the Authors Writings some of which he Translated and Printed in his own Language II. The Letter L affixt in the Margin denotes the Book related to to have been Translated and Publish'd in the Latin Tongue also Several of the rest having likewise been translated into Latin but not yet Publish'd III. Those that have an Asterisk prefix'd to them came forth without the Authors Name tho' 't is not doubted but they are His. IV. Such as have this Mark ☞ prefix'd to them are Sold by Samuel Smith at the Prince's Arms in St. Pauls Church-yard V.
