      title = {Lectures of experimental philosophy Wherein the principles  of mechanicks, hydrostaticks, and opticks, are demonstrated  and explained at large, by a great number of curious  experiments: with a description of the air-pump, and the  several experiments thereon: of the condensing-engines; as  also of the different species of barometers, thermometers,  and hygrometers; with several experiments to prove and  explain sir Isaac Newton's theory of light and colours, as  performed in a course of mechanical and experimental  philosophy. By J. T. Desaguliers, M.A. F.R.S. Illustrated  with several curious copper plates to each subject. To  which is added, a description of Mr. Rowley's machine,  called the Orrery, which represents the motion of the Moon  about the Earth, Venus and Mercury about the Sun, according  to the Copernican System: All carefully examined and  corrected by Mr. Desaguliers.
