About this Item

Electricity. 158 page section from the 6th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica on this subject/science in 6 sections: From General Ideas to Principles by Experiment to Theory and lastly Atmospherical. With 13 copper plates with 132 various implements and diagrams. Showing various contraptions for electrical experimentation and their uses. This explained in the body of the text. Paper browned and light foxing or age spotting to the copper plates. One of the last parts examines the Aurora Borealis or ?Merry Dancers? as it was once called in the Shetlands. Section ends on the discussion of electricity on Vegetation. Ends abruptly at last page! But tiny section only lost. Original early 19th century extract with all the old stitching showing from once being bound. This last page and section on the effects on vegetation is lacking tiny part as it explains the engraving (image number 133) which we have in the plates and the description begins on the final page but quite long full page still here included.

Store Description

We are a small, single-owner business. We have been operating on and off since 1977 and our stock is varied, leaning towards antiquarian and 19th century with the addition of original aquatint and lithographic, or woodcut engravings. Also maps and Ephemera - in fact, anything interesting on paper really. We have in stock every item we list. We do not use stock photographs, but photograph each item individually. We very rarely use "fine" or "mint" as a description, mainly due to the age and the fact that 99.9% of what we sell has been pre-owned and therefor Fine would not be a term for a book we sell despite its fine-like appearance. We always take items back unreservedly if not in the condition as described. We always try to describe fully.
