Fire A Young Woman that lived with her Father in the House that belong'd to this Farm leaves the House and not seeing the Young Man about the Barn goes with speed and tells the Family he was related to That she feared he was slain They came to the Barn and found it even so a sad Spectacle His Clogs driven from his Feet one not to be found and the other cloven and his Hat not to be found after search This Young Man would have been 22 Years of Age next June is said to have been sober and hopeful was Buryed at Luddenden the Monday following To this I have but Two more Philosophical Matters to add the first is an Account of the Generation of Fleas See Numb 249. p. 2. At last is discovered by the Indesatigable Industry of Signior D'iacinto Cestone the true way of the Generation of Fleas their Worms and entire Metamorphoses which have hitherto been obscure tho' sought after The Fleas bring forth Eggs or a sort of Nits from these Eggs are hatched Worms these Worms make to themselves Bags like Silk-Worms and from out of these Bags come Fleas Having thus given you an Historical Account of the Generation of Fleas I shall proceed to a Discourse of Coffee Numb 256. p. 311. Of the Berries Boyled in Water is made a Drink and drank much amongst the Arabians and Turks and also now in Europe As for the manner of its being first made a Trade of in England I shall give you the following Account Anno 1652. One Edwards came over into England and Marryed the Daughter of one Alderman Hodges This Hodges setled to drink Coffee with Edwards with much delight After this Edwards set up one Pasqua for a Coffee-Man The Ale-house keepers fearing it would spoil their Trade Petitioned the Lord Mayor against him Upon this Hodges joined as a Partner with Pasqua one Bowman at the last Pasqua dyed and Bowman kept the Trade and when he dyed left his Wife who had been Hodges's Cook-Maid pretty Rich but she dyed Poor John Painter was Bowman's first Apprentice Bowman dyed and after a Year his Wife let the House to one Batler whose Daughter Marryed Humphrey Hodskins Bowman's second Apprentice And after some time the Trade grew universal but what was the Rise of Batsons Wills or Richards I cannot tell But this I have been told Coffee hath greatly encreased the Trade of Tobacco and Pipes Earthen Dishes Tin Wares News Papers Coals Candles Sugar Tea Chocolate and what not Coffe-hauses make all Sorts of People sociable they improve Arts and Merchandize and all other Knowledge And a Worthy Member of this Society has thought that Coffee-Houses have Improved Useful Knowledge very much I thought to have proceeded to give you an Historical Account of the most Remarkable Trades in England as Chimney-Sweping Tinkers Pedlars c. And what were the Names of those that were first of that Employment as also the Names of their Apprentices and who they Marryed But since I have pressed upon your Patience so long I shall force no more upon you than you are willing to bear But pray let me ask your Opinion of these Philosophical Transactions and what Thoughts you have 〈◊〉 my Friends are they not Men that take a great deals of Pains to Improve Knowledge and let nothing pass that 's worth Noting Gent. Much Pains it must be allowed ye have taken 't is pity ye had not consider'd to what Purpose Transact Why is there not a great deal of Natural Knowledge to be learned from what I have wrote and Published Gent. Sir one may learn how prettily You and your Correspondents are Employ'd But nothing that will make a Man wiser or more a Philosopher for what am I the wiser for knowing the Mice creep into holes or how nastily the Moors pull their Meat Nor is what you have acquainted me with of the Generation of Fleas any more than what a Lowzy Beggar could have told many Years ago And as for your Coffee Story I take it to be a Tale fit to be Related only amongst Old Women and Mechanicks Transact And is that all you can see in such Improvements Gent. No Sir it 's not all for your Correspondent tells us That Coffee promotes the Tobacco Trade and consumes Pipes and Candles But I suppose any Coffee-Woman knows that without the assistance of your Friend to inform her Transact Well since I see you are resolved not to think so well of my Correspondents as I could wish I beg your Pardon for entertaining you so long with such Philosophical Relations which I perceive instead of diverting have made you uneasie But yet I must tell you my Correspondents will not be discouraged from pursuing their Design though the whole World Laugh at them FINIS
