About This Item

Munich: E.A. Fleischmann for the Author, 1829. Original lithographed boards (rubbed), front panel with an ornamental border, title and a vignette of Zeus throwing lightning bolts, rear panel with the same border and a vignette of two stargazers in a boat at night, spine title.

            Fun with science! Second Edition: more than four times the size of the first. Professor of mathematics and physics, Egger privately collected scientific instruments and apparatuses and regularly held demonstrations for school children and for learned societies. In his introductory guide to experiments with colors, magnetism, acoustics, gravity and optics, he shows a variety of electrical devices, including his luminous rainbow, comet, and clock, as well as a "magical electric question and answer" machine (Fig. 276). At the end he discusses astronomy, meteorology, and notable meteor strikes. Both copies in the U.S. are in D.C. (Smithsonian and Houdini-LC). In good condition (first few leaves foxed).
