Publications note
The ideas set forth in this letter are those contained in Bulstrode's book published in 1692-'A discourse of natural philosophy, wherein the Pythagorean doctrine is set in its true light and vindicated'. 'The aim of this book was to distinguish the Pythagorean from the vulgar doctrine of transmigration, the only transmigration he contends for being that of the sensitive and vegetative spirit necessary to the production of life in the present world'. [D.N.B.].
