Uniform title

[Tracts about flame and air]

Title

Tracts written by the Honourable Robert Boyle, containing new experiments, touching the relation betwixt flame and air. And about explosions. An hydrostatical discourse occasion'd by some objections of Dr. Henry More against some explications of new experiments made by the author of these tracts: to which is annex't, an hydrostatical letter, dilucidating an experiment about a way of weighing water in water. New experiments, of the positive or relative levity of bodies under water. Of the air's spring on bodies under water. About the differing pressure of heavy solid and fluids.

Physical description

[8], 142, [2], 17, [13], 176, [6], 19, [3], 16, [2], 39, [1]p ;, 16cm.

Note

Incomplete; contains "New experiments of the positive or relative levity of bodies under water.", "New experiments about the pressure of the air's spring on bodies under water.", and "New experiments about the differing pressure of heavy solids and fluids." (Parts IV-VI) only. Wants title-page.

Note

The words "Of the positive . solids and fluids" are bracketed together on title page, with "New experiments," running up at left.

Note

The hydrostatical discourse is a reply to "Enchiridion metaphysicum" by Henry More.

Note

Signatures: [A]4 B-I8 K8 (K1 + (+)-(++)8 k-x8) L-O8 P².

Note

The organization of the tracts is based upon the directions to the binder given on two advertisement leaves, (+)1 and k1. The first calls for quires (+) and (++) to be bound after leaf K1. The second calls for quires k-x8 to be bound before leaf K2.

Note

The first leaf is blank.

Note

"New experiments about explosions", "New experiments of the positive or relative levity of bodies under water", "New experiments about the pressure of the air's spring on bodies under water", "New experiments about the differeng pressure of heavy solids and fluids", and "An hydrostatical discourse" each have separate divisional title page and pagination; register is continuous.
