Ferguson, (James). Lectures on Select Subjects in Mechanics, Hydrostatics, Pneumatics, and Optics. London: W. Strahan…[et al.], 1770. Stated second edition (but actually the third; apparently the first edition with the supplement). Contemporary calf, rebacked, new maroon morocco spine label, covers scratched with rounded corners. Twenty-three engraved folding plates in main text, 13 in the supplement. 8vo. [xvi], 394, [6], 8pp. One plate repaired at fold, light browning and fraying to edges of some plates, browning and short tears and chipping to half-title and title. Still, a good, sturdy copy.
