Contemporary red pigskin, giltlettered and gilt decorated in compartments.
Good copy of an influentual work on surveying and cartography by the one of the best Dutch surveyors Jan Pietersz. Dou (1615-1682) together with Johannes Sems (1572-before 1652) and published by the famous Dutch cartographer and publisher Willem Jansz. Blaeu (1571-1638). Simon The first edition was published in 1600 and Simon Stevin used this work for training engineers in all the aspects of surveying. Our copy is not as usual bound together with Sybrant Hansz' geometrical 'questions and answers', as mentioned is on the first title, but with another work by Dou, that was first published in 1620. This 'Tractaet vant maken ende gebruycken ...' describes his newly invented surveying instrument, the socalled 'Cirkel van Dou' or 'Hollandse Cirkel', that would become the most used Dutch surveying instrument for over 200 years. Some signs of use, mainly in the beginning (occ. thumbed), but - A good copy.

Pieter van Musschenbroek was an 18th-century Dutch scientist known for his numerous physics experiments. He extensively studied the work of Isaac Newton, attended his lectures, and developed many of his own hypotheses based on those of Newton. His experiments were illustrated and thoroughly described in his book 'Experimental and Mathematical Physics'. This 1756 edition includes impressive engravings showing the details of his experiments on hydraulics, mechanics, optics, and navigation!
According to the 'Daumas Historical Science',
"Underlying Musschenbroek's lectures demonstrated with experiments was the experimental philosophy. The principal source of inspiration was Newton, but Galileo, Torricelli, Huygens, Réaumur, and others were important to this school."
This tome includes the oft-lacking folding map of the world which features California as an island!
