[Charles Agvent]

 From our new catalog just posted on our website:

CAVALLO, Tiberius. TIBERII CAVALLOS FULLSTÄNDIGA AFHANDLING OM 
ELECTRICITETEN. Öfversättning Jemte Tillägg Och Anmärkningar af Carl 
Gust. Sjöstén, Carl Pet. Ohrling. 1-3. Lund: Prof. Joh. Lundblad, 
1795-96. First Edition. Three parts in one small octavo (4-1/4" x 
7-1/8") volume in calf-backed boards with contrasting gilt-lettered 
morocco spine labels; [14], 207, [2]; [2], 387, [1]; [2], 139, [13] + 8 
folding plates engraved by J. M. Weller. Swedish translation of the 
treatise on electricity by the Italian physicist Tiberio Cavallo. 
Cavallo examined the use of electricity in the treatment of human 
diseases. Cavallo (1749-1809), born in Italy but worked in England, made 
many improvements to scientific instruments, especially the "Cavallo's 
multiplier" that could amplify small electrical charges and make them 
measurable in an electroscope. Moderate to heavy foxing throughout, the 
folding plates generally clean. While the spine is in very nice shape, 
the boards are heavily rubbed with loss. Good. (#020567)        $350
