Motion : Which, this lafl Author takes for a Mifapprehen- /ion of Sir Jfaac Newton's Corollary; urging, that the Water falling by the Power of Gravity, acquires its Mo- tion of it felt"; and that the Weight falling the fame Time, only receives a Motion equal to that of the Water out of the Vcffel. — There are lbme other Points which he ob- jects againft; and of which the learned Author, has an ex- prefs Vindication in the 'Pbilofofh. TranfaSions; to which nis Antagonist has fince reply'd : But the Author dying in the mean Time prevented any Reioynder.

Dr. Jurin, however, proceeds to give another Compu- tarion, on more unexceptionable Principles; tho' his Advcr- fary has found occafion therein for Recrimination.

He confiders one of the Ventricles of the Heart impelling the Blood, as a given Body impelling another at Rett,

Which Weights have a Velocity, wherewith they wou'd move an Inch each Second of a Minute.

Cor. Hence it is inferr'd, that when the Pulfe is quicker than ordinary, either the Refiftance is lefs than ordinary, or the Force of the Heart is increas'd, or a lefs Quantity of Blood than ufual is expell'd at each Contraction of the Heart; and vice verfa. — ■ As alfo, that if the Refiftance be either increas'd or diminifh'd; either the Pulfe, or the Quantity of Blood expell'd at each Contraction, will be either increas'd or diminifh'd refpectively, — ■ And that if

with a given Velocity; and after communicating Part of the Force of the Heart be increas'd or diminifh'd, either

its Motion thereto, proceeding with the fame"common Velocity. On which Principle rhe Force of the Heart will either be equal to the Factum of the Weight of the Ven- tricle, and its initial Velocity ere it impels the Blood; or to the Sum of the Motions of the Ventricle and the Blood flowing out of the fame, and the Motion commu- nicated to the Coats of the Arteries and the antecedent Blood.

Now, it is demonflrable : 1°. That the Motion whereby a hollow Machine, unequally contractile, does act in Con- traction, is equal to the Sum of the Faflums of the feveral Particles of the Machine multiplied into their refpective Velocities. Whence it follows, that the Motion of the

the Pulfe muft be accelerated, or the Refiftance diminifh'd. See Pulse.

On thefc Principles, Dr. Jurin proceeds to demonftrate the three following Theorems.

i". That the whole Motion of Refiftance made to the Blood, iffuing out of the Heart in the Syftole, or the whole Motion communicated to the antecedent Blood and the Coats of the Arteries, is equal to the whole Force of the Heart, quara froxime.

2°' That the Motion communicated to the antecedent Blood in a Syflole, is to the Motion communicated to the Coats of the Arteries, as the Time of the Syftole is to the Time of Diaftoie. Whence if, with Dr. Keill, we fuppofe

Machine is equal to the Factum of its Weight into fome the Syftole perform'd in one third of the Interval between

mean Velocity between the Particles moved fwifteft, and thofe moved ffoweft. — 2°. That if the Water be exprefs'd out of the Qrifice of fuch a Machine, the Motion of the Water, burfting out of the fame, will be equal to the Sum of the Facta of any tranfverfe Sections' of all the Threads of Water, feverally multiplied into their refpective Lengths and Velocities : Whence it follows, that the Motion of the Water is equal to the Factum of the Water iifuing out at

two Pulfes, the Motion communicated to the antecedent Blood will be I of the whole Motion of the Heart 5 and that communicated to the Arteries f.

3 . In different Animals, the Force of the Heart is in a Ratio compounded of the Quadruple Ratio of the Dia- meter of any homologous Veflel, and the inverfe Ratio of the Time wherein the Heart is contracted; or a Ratio compounded' of the Ratio of the Weight either of the the Orifice into fome mean Length between that of the Heart, or the whole Animal; the fubtriplicate Ratio of longeft Thread and the ftiorteft. Hence, alio, if there be the fame Weight, and the reciprocal Ratio of the Time.

feveral fuch Machines full of Water, and contracted alike, whether equally or unequally, the Motion of the Water, burfting out at the Orifice of one of them, will be in a

From thefe Data is drawn a Solution of the Problem, 'To find the Force of the Heart? — For, calling the Weight of the left Ventricle, or the Quantity of Blood equal to the fame, f; the inner Surface of the Ventricle, S; the mean length of the Filaments, or Threads of Blood expell'd from the fame, I; a Section of the Aorta, S; the Quantity of Blood, ccntain'd in the left Ventricle, q; the Time wherein the Blood would be thrown out of the

Heat is properly a Senfation, excited in us by the Action of Fire : Or it is the Effect of Fire on our Organ of Feeling. Sec Sensation and Fire.

Hence it follows, that what we call Heat, is a parti- cular Idea, or Modification of our own Mind; and not any Thing cxifting in that Form in the Body that occafions it. — Heat is no more in the Fire that burns the Finger, than Pain in the Needle that pricks it. — In Effect, Heat, in the Body that gives it, is only Motion; in the Mind, only a particular Idea, or Difpofition of the Soul.
