Description
Paris, Académie des Sciences, 1746. 4to. 56 pp.; three folded engraved plates. Disbound. = An early - perhaps the earliest - contribution to the knowledge of evaporation of preserving spirits. Written by the naturalist and physicist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur (1683-1757), author of the influential Memoires pour servir a l'histoire des Insectes, and inventor of the temperature scale - the first to use the freezing point and boiling point of water - named after him. Well-illustrated. Excerpt of the academy's Mémoires. A very good, clean copy. Rare.
