Dr . M ^ ad had a C ^ py ^ a ^ t ! frttW it an attempt wa ^ nhad ^ to priHi an eciition in his time ; but the bishop of London had so much influence with government that
they were afraid to publish it , and the design was dropped whenbnty half the work was printed * * Sdh * e of your readers mfty probably be able to give some intbrmatibn on this mutilated edition ^ of Avhich
copies are probably lfi r \ exnien £ e ; but I am detaining you from [ the letter of the Abby ^ wh ich £ to this purport :- — 46 I have the hohour of transmitting to you , Sir ihe passage of
Michael Servetus , concerning the circulation of the blood , virhich I extracted myself from his buok * entitled , Cbristianismi Restitutio , printed in octavo in 1553 , without mention of place or printer , word for word , line for line , the same
punctuation ^ the same abbrevia - tions , and the same orthography . " In this work are six tracts . The first is entitled , De Trinitate divind , quod in < & non sit invfsibilium trium re-rum- illusion sed vera substantial Del manifestatio
in verbo et comm ^ nicatio Spiritu . It is divided into seven books , of which the two last are in form of dialogues . The passage in question is found in the fifth tract , beginning at page 1 § 9 and ending in page 172 . fJoerhaave arid Haller were mistaken
in saying that it is in a treatise by Servetus , entitled , De Trinitatis Erroribiis , which was printed in octavo in 1531 " " The title of the Wbrk , Chris .
tialiismi Restitution has never been given exactly , such as it really is , neither by La Roche , Voglius , Oaudiu ^ , Niceron , La Bibliognu pkfe Instructive , Osmond ' s Ty .
