Letter with good geological content from Scottish mathematician and antiquary W. A. Cadell, discussing the recent work of French mineralogist René-Just Hauy (1743-1822), famous for "Hauy's law" stating that every crystal of precise chemical structure and purity has a specific and characteristic shape: "I send you Lucas's work it may be interesting to your mineralogical acquaintances as it contains the alterations which M.

London: J. Dodsley, 1771. Cadogan, William (1711-1797). A dissertation on the gout, and all chronic diseases, jointly considered . . . 8vo. [iii]-viii, 88pp.; lacking half-title (A1). London: J.

Bagot"] on title. From the library of Haskell F. Norman, with his bookplate. First Edition. Cadogan was one of the first to publicly blame the occurrence of gout upon its victims' immoderate habits, identifying the causes of the disease as "Indolence, Intemperance and Vexation."
