Transactions of the Cambridge Philosophical Society. Cambridge: Printed at the University Press, 1827-42. Thirty-seven separate papers from vols. 2-7 of the Transactions on such subjects as Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, Meteorology, Botany, Ornithology, Optics, Acoustics, etc. Numerous tables and charts, in-text diagrams, several plates. Disbound from broken volumes, page-gatherings neatly separated; occasional light toning and touches of soiling; foxing to one plate; otherwise quite clean. All the papers are complete.
