About This Item

Nieuwentyt wanted to convince atheists and unbelievers (notably Spinozists) of the existence of God by describing the intricacies and laws of nature. The work was pivotal in introducing the new experimental philosophy of Boyle and others into the Dutch Republic.Spine slightly damaged, plates slightly browned and frayed. Very good copy of this interesting work.l Bierens de Haan 3561; Poggendorff II, p. 289; STCN (4 copies, including 1 incomplete); cf.
