Jean Baptiste Biot : Traite de Physique
'I have no enthusiasm-cui bono? I always ask myself. It would be irksome, & impossible, in this state of my sheet, to criticise the elegant and ingenious rather than powerful or philosophical narrative which Horace Benedict Saussure gives of his journeys in the Alps. I am in the third quarto- Nor shall I speak about Biot's traite de physique of which, to tell the truth, I have scarcely read 100 pages.'
