Abstract
Although the evidence afforded us by the most recent observations and discoveries, not only of the existence, but also of the various and singular properties of the atmospheres of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and the Moon, be in a manner incontrovertible; yet so inconclusive are the few observations hitherto made on the atmosphere of Venus, that several of the greatest astronomers have lately thought themselves authorized to doubt its very existence. The following inquiry may hence prove the more acceptable to those who favour the investigations of nature, not only as it evinces, in my opinion, the existence of such an atmosphere, but also as it points out several inferences concerning its nature and properties, which to me appear new and interesting.
