‎First appearance of the paper in which Watt set forth his ""Crystallization Hypothesis"".""The first hypothesis as to the origin of prismatic structure which which had any experimental or observational basis was that of Gregory Watt, and may be entitled ""crystallization hypothesis"". Whatt in 1804 observed (the paper offered) that a large mass of basalt which he had melted down in a reverbatory furnace crystallized radially from centers which were fairly regularly spaced in a horizontal plane"" the intersections of these radially growing fibrous bundles formed a network of hexagonal partings through the mass, leading Watt to the conclusion that this manner of crystallization, by its vertical extension upward from the base of a mass of basalt, must have been the cause of the prisms found in the Giant's Causeway, Fingal's Cave, and elsewhere.""

‎Erstausgabe. Seltene Chronik der Statt St. Gallen, mit umfangreichem Register, illustriert mit Kupfertitel und einer schönen gefalt. gestoch. Panorama-Ansicht der Stadt. “Seine Arbeit erstreckt sich bis 1683. ... sie verdient theils wegen der Geschichte selbst, teils wegen der Beschreibung der Stadt und deren Regierungsform, nicht wenig Achtung. In der Geschichte findet man viel merkwürdiges, besonders von den Zeiten der Glaubensverbesserung, und hauptsächlich von den Wiedertäufern in den Jahren 1525 und 1526, und von der Bibliothek wird auch viel Lesenswürdiges beygebracht” (Haller).Teil 2 enthält die mit gestochenem Porträt illustrierte Biographie Joachim von Watts (gen. Vadianus) (1484-1551). Er wurde 1526 erstmals Bürgermeister der Stadt und von da an bis zu seinem Tode war er neunmal regierender Bürgermeister, Altbürgermeister und Reichsvogt. Von Watt “griff die politische und geistige Leitung bei der Vorbereitung und Einführung der Reformation und übernahm die Auseinandersetzung mit den Wiedertäufern, die Begründung der st. gall. evangelischen Kirche und den Versuch der Säkularisation des Klosters” (HBLS). “Hier ist eine ziemlich umständliche Lebensbeschreibung dieses Mannes, die vollständiger und zuverlässiger ist, als alles was vor und nachhero über ihn ist geschrieben worden. ...” Lonchamp 1389; Barth 20216; Haller IV/869 und II/1594; HBLS VII/429 (von Watt) IV/67, Nr. 3 Haltmeyer, und IV/302, H.d Nr. 4 (Huber).
