Pointing out some important ends for which these tails were probably designed: wherein it is shewn, that, in consequence of these curious appendages, comets may by inhabited worlds, and even comfortable habitations; not withstanding the vast excentricities of their orbits. The whole interspersed with observations and reflections on the sun and primary planets.
