Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pike's Illustrated Descriptive Catalogue of Optical, Mathematical, and Philosophical Instruments, Vol. 1 of 2: Manufactured, Imported, and Sold by the Author; With the Prices Affixed at Which They Are Offered in 1865
The instruments illustrated in our modern works on natural philosophy are too frequently represented by old and Obsolete cuts, mere copies, book after book, for many years back, furnishing but little idea of more modern articles.
