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
