Physical Astronomy, c1804
Volume consists of lecture notes in astronomy.
Physical Astronomy, c1780-c1803
Volume contains manuscript notes on physical astronomy, which is to say, the governing laws of planetary motion, with numerous diagrams and tables.
Pneumatics, c1780-c1803
Volume contains manuscript notes on pneumatics, much space devoted to pumps in particular. Numerous good diagrams intersperse.
Pneumatics, Gunpowder, c1780-c1802
Rotation, Philosphy, c1780-c1803
Volume contains lecture notes, with only one or two diagrams, of the physics of rotating bodies, and of the nature of physics itself.
