  <dc:title>Paper, 'An essay upon glass and the several uses of it among the ancients' by Charles Lamotte</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Lamotte shares thoughts on an essay by Mr Valois about glass. Lamotte writes: 'as I had never read anything before, nor made any collections upon that subject, I fear this essay will be very defective, and imperfect, and not free from many errours and mistakes. Such as it is I beg to present it to this illustrious Society, as an humble acknowledgement of the honour I've receiv'd, into being admitted into that learned body'.
