AN EXAMINATION OF Dr. BURNET'S Theory of the Earth.

The Introduction.

    agreeable to Holy Scriptures, that being a work already done by others, who I presume understand that Subject better than I do, neither will I consine my self to follow the Author from Chapter to Chapter, and find fault with every thing contain'd in the Theory, least it should look more like spitefulness and ill nature than a diligent search after Truth. My design therefore is to choose out some of the principal heads of the Theory, and having shown them to be false and disagreeable to the laws of Mechanisme, the rest must all fall to the ground of course.
