Explaining and Demonstrating the General Laws of Motion, the Laws of Gravity, Motion of Descending Bodies, Projectiles, Mechanic Powers, Pendulums, Centers of Gravity, &c. Strength and Stress of Timber, Hydrostatics, and Construction of Machines.

Bound in full, thick leather, with raised bands and decorated spine. I believe that some time ago the book was slightly repaired to made the spine stronger. (I think!) In any even the book is very strong, and bright, with good full margins. The title page is a bit rough, but advancing from that, the book is on the lovely side. [++] The drawings are terrificthey are both very detailed and somehow spare at the same time. The topics are very wide and beautifully described. Some of the machines and instruments described: air pump, artificial fountains, blowing wheel, barometer, bellows, clocks, cranes, endless screw, fire engines for coal pits, gun powder mill, horse mill, lifting stock, pile engines, musical organs, sail chariots, thermometer, slitting mill, pumps, wind mills, twisting mill, and much more. …

Owners name to FFEP. Some pencil marginalia. Scattered foxing and soiling to some plates. BM 8: 122 (444); ESTC T77169 William Emerson was an English mathematician, who, unsuccessful as a teacher, devoted himself entirely to a studious retirement. Possessed of remarkable energy and forthrightness of speech, Emerson published many works which are singularly free from errata. In The Principles of Mechanics, he shows a wind-powered vehicle in which the vertically mounted propeller gives direct power to the front wheels via a system of cogs. In mechanics he never advanced a proposition which he had not previously tested in practice, nor published an invention without first proving its effects by a model.…
