Popular Displays of the Wonders of Nature (1840) (Paperback)

These papers were exclusively selected from the Transactions of the Royal Society of London. It is a popular selection of popular papers, calculated to instruct and delight the uninitiated, as well as to interest the erudite reader. It presents a multitude of facts of the most striking character, and must have the effect of enlightening the mind, while it directs attention to subjects of exhaustless gratification and contemplation. Due to the age of the rare original we reproduced, there are pages that are spotty or faded and we were unable to repair them.
