Abstract
At the Imperial Diet held in Regensburg in the year 1654, when certain enthusiastic followers of these investigations sought to have me perform several of my new experiments, I was unwilling justifiably to disappoint them. These were the last days of the Diet, however, when it had already begun to be dissolved and the large group of artisans were no longer on hand who, through their efforts and skill, were needed to make and set up the pieces of apparatus again.
