Thermometer and Pyrometer (Optical Instruments and Thermometer and Pyrometer: Treatise of Optical Instruments and Thermometer and Pyrometer)

Thermometer and Pyrometer - by Thomas Stewart Traill. Published under the superintendence of The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. NOTE: This is a XEROX PHOTOCOPY, bound in library black buckram hardcover boards with bright gilt lettering on red leather label to spine. Clear adhesive contact covering over front & rear boards, which is affixed to front and rear pastedowns. "British Museum" stamps to a few of the Xerox pages, therefore presumably photocopied from a copy held at the British Museum. This ex-library copy with no title page, therefore no publishing details or date listed within. The library card in rear of volume has title listed as "Optical Instruments and Thermometer and Pyrometer: Treatise of Optical Instruments and Thermometer and Pyrometer". Appears to be a complete copy, without preliminaries (pagination begins at page 1). Lacks the rear addenda & advertisements. Originally published by Baldwin and Cradock in 1828. Contains numerous b&w illustrations throughout (51 figures). With footnotes. Includes appendix with tables. Ex-library copy with minimal library markings, otherwise a nice clean tight solid hardcover copy. 63pp. RARE copy of the original. SB-36.…
