Note,

That though in this last Head there is repeated theTransfusionof Blood, because the Operation is an Art requiring diligence, and a practised hand to perform it for all advantagious Discoveries, and so to be distinguish'd from theAnatomicalAccount; yet that there is not affected noise and number, may well appear by reviewing and comparing the particulars ofArtificial Instrumentsin theTable, where sometimes one Engin or Instrument may minister Aid to discover a large branch of Philosophy, as theBaroscope, anOptick Glass, &c.

And very particularly M.Rook's directions for Seamen, which specifies Instruments, may hereunto belong.

And sometimes in one of the Discourses herein mention'd, and abbreviated, there are almost as many Artificial Inventions, as Experiments; as in Mr.Boyle's Hydrostatical Experiments: Besides all the Chymical Operations, recited in theTreatiseof theOrigine of Forms, &c.
