In Latin, concerning articles in recent and forthcoming issues of the journal Acta eruditorum; mentions report edited by Wyer Guillaume Muys, and report on the book by Jean Raphson, which he has edited himself; also remarks on the recipient's objection concerning his explanation of movement, and asks whether he has meditated on the application of the barometer to terrestrial observations. Leibniz does not address the recipient by name; the salutation reads, "Vir celeberrime, fautor et amice honoratissime". A note added at head reads, "Leibnitius Wolfio 10 dec. 1711 / Censura Raphsoni, Monita ad definitionem motus, de Barometri applicatione ad objecta terrestria cogitandum".
