A large collection of mathematical and physical curiosities, including chapters on arithmetic ("To arrange 30 criminals in such a manner as to save 15 of them, &c.", "A lady lamenting that her age was triple that of her daughter") and amusing "secrets" ("To make people in a room have a hideous appearance").
