8vo, pp. 24; paper wrappers; small worm-hole to lower margin of last few leaves, including wrapper. First edition of this academic dissertation arguing the benefits of practical experimentation in the sciences, and the necessity of experimental laboratories. Based on Diderot, Fleck argues that practical application is indispensa…ble as a prerequisite of real understanding. He exemplifies this with examples in mechanics, such as balances and hydrostatic balances, with the use of the eudiometer, thermometer, and medical electricity, all described with some reference to their invention.
