About this Item

A smart second edition of this illustrated guide to the principles of natural philosophy in science. Second edition. Scarce work. Illustrated with a frontispiece and many in-text figures. A guide to some of the most important principles of science and their practical applications, treated in a more popular manner than is usual in works of a scientific nature. With chapters on watches, light, lenses, mirrors, refraction, colours, heat, crystals, states, microscopes, and more. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing and bumping to the extremities. Minor fading to the spine with the odd small mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd spot. Light age toning to the endpapers with a contemporary ink inscription to the front endpaper. Very Good.
