    Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. ---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- P., Guérin, 1746, un volume in 12 relié en plen veau marbré, dos orné de fers dorés, tranches rouges (reliure de l'époque, 1 frontispice, 20pp., (2), 227pp., (1pp.), 4 planches dépliantes ---- "NOLLET was the first to observe that pointed bodies electrified give out streams of light, but that they do not exhibit as powerful indications of electricity as are shown by blunt bodies. He also found that glass and other non-conductors are more strongly excited in air than in vacuo ; that the electric spark is more diffuse and unbroken in vacuo ; and that an excited tube loses none of its electricity by being placed in the focus of a concave mirror when the sunlight is therein concentrated.". (Mottelay, pp. 181/183) ---- DSB X, pp. 145/147**8781/ARB3.
