Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Prodromus of Nicolaus Steno's Dissertation Concerning a Solid Body Enclosed by Process of Nature Within a Solid: An English Version With an Introduction and Explanatory Notes
Tm: task of preparing this translation of Steno's Prodromus has been lightened by the generous help of several of my colleagues in the University of Michigan. To Professor W. H. Hobbs I am indebted for suggesting the work and for reading the entire manu script, as well as for contributing a Foreword. Professor E. H. Kraus read in manuscript the section dealing with crystallography, and Professor E. C. Case gave helpful suggestions in questions of palaeontology. A point in physics was clarified by Professor W. D. Henderson.
