Descripción

First edition. All four books bound into a single volume. A worthy candidate for repair/rebind as this book, in its present state, is a bit rough externally. Text appears to be complete, along with all plates, however it is possible that some might plates be lacking. It does include the final errata/ 'instructions to binder' leaf. 'Largely based on Newton. Greatly stimulated the construction of optical apparatus and is the most helpful historical treatise on light of its time'- Babson. 'Both comprehensive and reliable, the work became probably the most influential optical textbook of the eighteenth century'- DSB. Vol. I, [6],vi,[8],280; Vol.II, pp. [2],281-455,[1],171.[9],[iv]. [Babson 161; Bibliotheca Chemico-Mathematica 4459; Maslen & Lancaster 2593; Duncan 12597; Crawford 419; Bowes 455; DSB XII, 477; Houzeau & Lancaster 3323; Poggendorff II, 945].
