order_n to_o our_o present_a design_n be_v the_o difference_n in_o weight_n betwixt_o water_n and_o quicksilver_n and_o though_o this_o have_v be_v define_v already_o by_o the_o illustrious_a verulam_n and_o some_o other_o inquisitive_a person_n that_o have_v compare_v the_o weight_n of_o several_a body_n and_o cast_v their_o observation_n into_o table_n yet_o we_o shall_v not_o scruple_n to_o annex_v our_o own_o trial_n about_o it_o partly_o because_o we_o find_v author_n considerable_o to_o disagree_v partly_o because_o we_o use_v exacter_n scales_n and_o a_o somewhat_o more_o wary_a method_n than_o other_o seem_v to_o have_v do_v and_o partly_o also_o because_o have_v prosecute_v our_o inquiry_n by_o two_o or_o three_o several_a way_n the_o small_a difference_n between_o the_o event_n may_v assure_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o much_o mistake_v we_o take_v then_o a_o glass_n pipe_n of_o the_o form_n of_o a_o invert_v siphon_n who_o shape_n be_v delineate_v in_o the_o sixteen_o figure_n and_o pour_v into_o it_o a_o quantity_n of_o quicksilver_n we_o hold_v it_o so_o that_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o liquor_n both_o in_o the_o long_o and_o short_a leg_n lay_v in_o a_o horizontal_a line_n denote_v in_o the_o scheme_n by_o the_o prick_v line_n e_o f_o then_o pour_v water_n into_o the_o long_a leg_n of_o the_o siphon_n till_o that_o be_v almost_o fill_v we_o observe_v the_o surface_n of_o the_o quicksilver_n in_o that_o leg_n to_o be_v by_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o water_n depress_v as_o from_o e_z to_z b_o and_o in_o the_o short_a leg_n to_o be_v as_o much_o impel_v upward_o as_o from_o f_o to_o c_o whereupon_o have_v former_o stick_v mark_n as_o well_o at_o the_o point_n b_o as_o at_o the_o opposite_a point_n d_o we_o measure_v both_o the_o distance_n d_o c_o to_n have_v the_o height_n of_o the_o cylinder_n of_o quicksilver_n which_o be_v raise_v above_o the_o point_n d_o level_n with_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o quicksilver_n in_o the_o other_o leg_n by_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o water_n and_o the_o distance_n b_o a_o which_o give_v we_o the_o height_n of_o the_o cylinder_n of_o water_n so_o that_o the_o distance_n d_o c_o amount_v to_o 2_o 13\54_n inches_n and_o the_o height_n of_o the_o water_n amount_v 30_o 45\54_n inch_n and_o the_o whole_a number_n on_o both_o side_n which_o the_o annex_v fraction_n be_v reduce_v to_o improper_a fraction_n of_o the_o same_o denomination_n the_o proportion_n appear_v to_o be_v the_o denominator_n be_v leave_v out_o as_o equal_v on_o both_o side_n as_o 121_o to_o 1665_o or_o by_o reduction_n as_o one_o to_o 92_o 121._o beside_o this_o unusual_a way_n of_o determine_v the_o gravity_n of_o some_o thing_n we_o measure_v the_o proportion_n betwixt_o quicksilver_n and_o water_n by_o the_o help_n of_o so_o exact_a a_o balance_n as_o lose_v its_o aequilibrium_fw-la by_o the_o hundred_o part_n of_o a_o grain_n but_o because_o there_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v commit_v a_o oversight_n in_o weigh_v quicksilver_n and_o water_n especial_o if_o the_o orifice_n of_o the_o vessel_n wherein_o they_o be_v put_v be_v any_o thing_n wide_a in_o regard_n that_o man_n heed_v not_o that_o the_o surface_n of_o water_n in_o vessel_n will_v be_v concave_a but_o that_o of_o quicksilver_n notable_o convex_a or_o protuberant_a to_o avoid_v this_o usual_a oversight_n i_o say_v we_o make_v use_v of_o a_o glass_n bubble_n blow_v very_o thin_a at_o the_o flame_n of_o a_o lamp_n that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v too_o heavy_a for_o the_o balance_n and_o terminate_n in_o a_o very_a slender_a neck_n wherein_o the_o concavity_n or_o convexity_n of_o a_o liquor_n can_v not_o be_v considerable_a this_o glass_n weigh_v 23½_n grain_n we_o fill_v almost_o with_o quicksilver_n and_o fasten_v a_o mark_n over_o against_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o protuberant_a superficies_n as_o near_o as_o our_o eye_n can_v judge_v we_o find_v that_o the_o quicksilver_n alone_o weigh_v 299_o 7_o 12_o grain_n then_o the_o quicksilver_n be_v pour_v out_o and_o the_o same_o glass_n be_v fill_v as_o full_a of_o common_a water_n we_o find_v the_o liquor_n to_o weigh_v 21⅞_n grain_n whereby_o it_o appear_v the_o weight_n of_o water_n to_o quicksilver_n be_v as_o one_o to_o 13_o 19_o 28_o though_o our_o illustrious_a verulam_n questionless_a not_o for_o want_v of_o judgement_n or_o care_n but_o of_o exact_a instrument_n make_v the_o proportion_n betwixt_o those_o two_o liquor_n to_o be_v great_a than_o of_o 1_o to_o 17._o and_o to_o add_v that_o upon_o the_o bye_n since_o quicksilver_n and_o well_o rectify_v spirit_n of_o wine_n be_v how_o just_o i_o say_v not_o account_v the_o one_o the_o heavy_a and_o the_o other_o the_o light_a of_o liquor_n we_o think_v to_o fill_v the_o same_o glass_n and_o with_o the_o same_o scale_n to_o observe_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o which_o we_o find_v to_o be_v as_o of_o 1_o to_o 16_o 641_o 1084_o whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o spirit_n of_o wine_n that_o may_v be_v make_v to_o burn_v all_o away_o such_o as_o be_v we_o and_o common_a water_n be_v as_o betwixt_o 1_o and_o 1_o 44_o 171._o we_o may_v here_o take_v occasion_n to_o admire_v that_o though_o water_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o experiment_n former_o mention_v of_o the_o pewter_n vessel_n seem_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o considerable_a condensation_n and_o seem_v not_o to_o have_v intersperse_v in_o it_o any_o store_n of_o air_n yet_o quicksilver_n of_o no_o great_a bulk_n than_o water_n shall_v weigh_v near_o fourteen_o time_n as_o much_o but_o have_v only_o point_v at_o this_o as_o a_o thing_n worthy_a of_o consideration_n we_o will_v proceed_v in_o our_o inquiry_n after_o the_o height_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n and_o to_o avoid_v the_o trouble_n of_o fraction_n we_o will_v assume_v that_o quicksilver_n be_v fourteen_o time_n as_o heavy_a as_o water_n since_o it_o want_v so_o little_a of_o be_v so_o wherefore_o have_v now_o give_v we_o the_o proportion_n of_o air_n to_o water_n and_o water_n to_o quicksilver_n it_o will_v be_v very_o easy_a to_o find_v the_o proportion_n betwixt_o air_n and_o quicksilver_n in_o case_n we_o will_v suppose_v the_o atmosphere_n to_o be_v uniform_o of_o such_o a_o consistence_n as_o the_o air_n we_o weigh_v here_o below_o for_o since_o our_o engine_n have_v sufficient_o manifest_v that_o it_o be_v the_o aequilibrium_fw-la with_o the_o external_a air_n that_o in_o the_o torricellian_a experiment_n keep_v the_o quicksilver_n from_o subside_v and_o since_o by_o our_o accurate_a experiment_n former_o mention_v it_o appear_v that_o a_o cylinder_n of_o mercury_n able_a to_o balance_v a_o cylinder_n of_o the_o whole_a atmosphere_n amount_v to_o near_a about_o thirty_o inch_n and_o since_o consequent_o we_o may_v assume_v the_o proportion_n of_o quicksilver_n to_o air_n to_o be_v as_o fourteen_o thousand_o to_o one_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o a_o cylinder_n of_o air_n capable_a to_o maintain_v a_o aequilibrium_fw-la with_o a_o mercurial_a cylinder_n of_o two_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a in_o height_n must_v amount_v to_o 35000_o foot_n of_o our_o english_a measure_n and_o consequent_o reckon_v five_o foot_n to_o a_o geometrical_a pace_n and_o one_o thousand_o such_o pace_n to_o a_o mile_n to_o seven_o full_a mile_n but_o this_o as_o we_o late_o intimate_v proceed_v upon_o the_o supposition_n that_o the_o air_n be_v every_o where_o of_o the_o same_o consistence_n that_o we_o find_v it_o near_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o that_o can_v with_o any_o safety_n be_v conclude_v not_o only_o for_o the_o reason_n i_o find_v to_o have_v be_v take_v notice_n of_o by_o the_o ancient_n and_o thus_o express_v in_o seneca_n omnis_fw-la

ita_fw-la in_o aëre_fw-la spississima-quaeque_a desidunt_fw-la but_o much_o more_o because_o the_o springy_a texture_n of_o the_o aerial_a corpuscle_n make_v they_o capable_a of_o a_o very_a great_a compression_n which_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o incumbent_a part_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n be_v very_o sufficient_a to_o give_v those_o that_o be_v undermost_a and_o near_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o if_o we_o recall_v to_o mind_v those_o former_a experiment_n whereby_o we_o have_v manifest_v that_o air_n much_o rarefy_v without_o heat_n may_v easy_o admit_v a_o far_a rarefaction_n from_o heat_n and_o that_o the_o air_n even_o without_o be_v expanded_a by_o heat_n be_v capable_a of_o be_v rarefy_v to_o above_o one_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o time_n the_o extent_n it_o usual_o
