"and the effect will be a page written. - If a Workman whites a wall, his action will be the whitening [[insertion]] of [[/insertion]] a wall, and the effect will be a wall whitened. -- If a labourer digs a garden, his action is the digging of a garden; and the effect is a garden digged."

"Iron becomes 1/60 longer, when red-hot, than when of its natural temperature; and D. [[superscript]] r [[/superscript]] [[underline]] Derham [[/underline]], in his last paper read before the [[underline]] Royal Society [[/underline]] concerning the vibration of [[underline]] pendulums [[/underline]], says, that a rod 39, 126 inches long, become 1/10 inch longer than its natural [strikethrough] state [strikethrough] dimentions in temperate air, by being exposed to heat equal to that of an human body;, 02 inch longer in hot sunshine; that it was ,2 or 1/5 inch longer than its natural state, by being heated in a flaming heat; that it became ,07 shorter than its natural length by being quenched in cold water; and still ,03 shorter, by being put into a mixture of salt & snow. From which experiments one may conclude, that from [[underline]] Fahrenheit's [[/underline]] cold of 40 below 0. to the greatest heat iron can bear without melting, a rod of 3 feet long will have about 1/4 inch increase." p440.

    The Rev. [[superscript]] d [[/superscript]] [[underline]] Stephen Hales [[/underline]], D.D. says, "A rod of iron 3 feet long will have about 1/4 increase, or 1/144 part." p. 446. 

   "A rod of brass, according to D. [[superscript]] r [[/superscript]] [[underline]] Musschenbroeck's [[/underline]] experiments, [[underline]] l.c. [[/underline]] was found to lengthen 377, when one of iron lengthened only 230 parts." p. 443. [[boxed]] 230:60::377:98 instead of 95, on p.92 by J. Ellicott [[/boxed]]

     The said D. [[superscript]] r [[/superscript]] [[underline]] Hales [[/underline]], says, "I have found that wood does not contract or dilate length ways with heat or cold. I am told that M.[[superscript]] r [[/superscript]] G. [[underline]] Graham [[/underline]] is about making this experiment, as I am also, in order to regulate [[underline]] pendulums [[/underline]]." p. 446.

     Bertoud found, that a metallic rod of 461 lines in length, at the Zero of Reaumur's thermometer, was lengthened at 127 degrees; annealed steel 69/360 of a line; cold hammered steel 74/360; annealed iron 72/360. Hardened steel 77/360. Hammered iron 78/360. Annealed gold 82/360, gold wire 94/360, copper 107/360, silver wire 119/360, brass 121/360, tin 160/360, lead 193/360, glass 62/360. 
Gents' Mag. Vol. XVIII. p. 111. Ash expands least 1 part in 31. and the wild pine most 1 part in 19. by excessive heat and cold.
