Stated Second Edition, bound in calf leather, gilt lettered title over red Morocco leather in one spine compartment.

He discourses simply upon hydro- and electrostatic, air, wind, pulleys, light, color, and other aspects of the natural world. A perfectly serviceable reference copy; nothing fancy, but complete.
