CONTEMPORARY HAND COLOURED SET, 8vo, 220 x 130 mm, 8½ x 5 inches, 65 contemporary hand coloured folding engraved plates, some illustrations in the text, pages: [4], xvi, 1-267; [4], xii, 1-280; [4], xii, 1-296; [4], xvi, 1-367, contemporary tree calf covers, recently rebacked with contrasting gilt lettered labels, gilt decoration and date to spines.

The contents of each volume are set out on the half-titles which follow the title pages, Volume I: Arithmetical and Mechanical Experiments; Volume II: Experiments in Optics, Chromatics and Acoustics; Volume III: Electrical and Magnetical Experiments; Volume IV: Experiments in Pneumatics, Hydrology, and Pyrotechnics. With an Appendix of Miscellaneous Recreations. This Appendix (pages 175-295), contains the conjuring, magic and card tricks, "Several of the Recreations in this Appendix have, in fact, but little relation to experimental philosophy, especially those that depend on a dextrous manoeuvre; but as experiments of this kind are commonly found in books of mathematical recreations, it seemed requisite to insert some of the most entertaining among them at the end of this treatise" (author's note). See Toole Stott, A Bibliography of English Conjuring 1581-1876, page 137 No. 392; Trevor Hall, Old Conjuring Books.

Philip points out that Hooper states that much of this work stems from Guyot (Nouvelles Recreations Physiques et Mathematiques - 1786): "We shall here add the description of a new method of imitating artificial fireworks, which appears to be the invention of the ingenious M. Guyot" (Vol. IV page 156). MORE IMAGES ATTACHED TO THIS LISTING, ALL ZOOMABLE, FURTHER IMAGES ON REQUEST. POSTAGE AT COST.
