    PoR ROP oA Oe N the year 1769 I made fome experiments on the fulphureous water at Harrogate which were communicated to the very accurate and in- genious Dr. Brack, profeffor of chemiftry in the Univerfity of Edinburgh, where I was then a ftudent. They were-afterwards made the fubject of my thefis in 1770. It is to this celebrated profeffor that I am chiefly indebted for the infor- mation which I formerly-received on the fubject of mineral waters in general; and I could not omit the opportunity of paying this tribute of gra- titude and perfect efteem to the man who honoured me early with his friendfhip, and whofe inftructive lectures firft infpired me with a defire of culti- yating philofophical and chemical knowledge.
