Sheet measures approx. 24" x 9.25," on orange paper, with copious text within thick typographical border. An ambitious undertaking described, the various paintings on display, on eighty square feet of canvas, with Came's optical apparatus, the man not shy about overstatement, he "who has given over one thousand lectures in different parts of the Union." He described himself as "a self-invented, enterprising itinerant lecturer who earned a living by performing demonstrations for the public." See Roger Sherman, "CHARLES CAME, ITINERANT SCIENCE LECTURER, AND HIS SPLENDID APPARATUS," in RITTENHOUSE, Vol. 5, No. 4 (1991). This, a remarkably ephemeral item, miraculously surviving in Very Good+ condition.

Terms of sale
CWO, in U.S. funds. Libraries only may be billed. $ 8.95 Priority Mail postage and handling for the first volume: $5.00 for each succeeding volume. Foreign orders shipped via Global Priority Mail, flat rate at cost, or via Air Mail. Inquire, if uncertain, about the use of Global Priority on heavier books or multi-volume sets. If need be, telephone me at 1-(413)-773-5811, for clarifications. Because of the implemented EPR Registration protocols required on sales and shipments to France and Germany, I may soon be cancelling all orders to be sent to either of those two countries: the volume of sales made there in the course of a calendar year do not justify my spending the time and energy needed to register and possibly to pay the fees which shall likely follow.
Shipping terms
Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
