[Digby, Sir Kenelm.]
Two treatises, in the one of which the nature of bodies, in
the other the nature of mans soule is looked into, in
way of discovery of the immortality of reasonable
soules. 1644..

..qr530 D57

First edition of Digby's two chief philosophical treatises, which contain much that is curious, if little of any value. “Although a shrewd observer of natural phenomena, Digby was a scientific amateur rather than a man of science. Astrology and alchemy formed serious parts of his study, and his credulity led him to many ludicrous conclusions." Dictionary of national biography. Fleming, John Ambrose.

Waves and ripples in water, air and æther; a course of Christmas lectures delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain. 1902....

Contents: Water waves and water ripples.-Waves and ripples made
by ships.-Waves and ripples in the air.-Sound and music.-Electric
oscillations and electric waves.-Waves and ripples in the æther.
Begins with visible waves in water and proceeds to the invisible vibra-
tions in air and ether which are concerned with sound, heat, light
and electricity. Simple explanations are given of their properties,
functions and utilization in the arts and industries. Gives a good
popular account of the principles underlying wireless telegraphy.

An elementary text-book. Aims to avoid all mathematical demonstration
and to teach physical laws by means of practical and familiar examples.

"Characterised throughout by the absence of obscure and inconclusive
reasoning such as is sometimes found in treatises dealing with intri-
cate problems in an elementary manner, by the employment of sound
yet simple mathematical methods, and by the inclusion of accounts
of recent work not to be found in other books of the same class."
