A50778 A new treatise of natural philosophy, free'd from the intricacies of the schools adorned with many curious experiments both medicinal and chymical : as also with several observations useful for the health of the body. Midgley, Robert, 1655?-1723. 1687 (1687) Wing M1995; ESTC R31226 136,898 356
