About This Item
Springfield, Mass: Lewis J. Powers & Brother, 1867. First edition, 12mo, pp. viii, [3], 12-120; 4 diagrams in the text; original brown cloth stamped in gilt on the upper cover; fine. Not common. In OCLC I find 3 tangible copies, all in the UK. "If we were to compare Mr. Chapin's powers of mathematical and speculative insight with those of eminent modern physicists, it would be greatly to his disparagement. We think, nevertheless, that he reasons on physics much better than Aristotle, and has much clearer ideas on many scientific subjects" (North American Review, vol. 105, no. 216, July, 1867, pp. 330-331).
