"The sciences, or more especially the natural sciences, in the eighteenth century were all put together under the heading of "Natural Philosophy." The teaching and investigation of this subject was done in a room, or laboratory, popularly called the Philosophy Chamber. It was a small affair compared to our enormous modern requirements. The apparatus of the early period could be housed in the cases around the walls of a modern sized room. On the second floor of Old Harvard Hall was such a chamber, with its cases and equipment. This collection was an excellent one for its time, and had been assembled over a period on many years." The Collection contains: telescopes, microscopes, astronomical models, clocks, surveying, hydraulics, mechincal and vaccuum instruments and much more." FINE HARDCOVER. With card signed by the author.

Hardback. Condition: New. A labor lawyer and publicist of weight in the Weimar Republic, Franz Neumann devoted his 21-year exile, after 1933, to understanding the failure of arrangements supposed to be in the line of social progress.
