Woodcut diagram in the text. 23, [1] pp. Small 4to, modern paste-paper boards (minor cropping at foot to four leaves). Uppsala: J.H. Werner, 1707. First edition and very rare; OCLC locates no copy in America. Elvius (1660-1718), professor of astronomy at Uppsala University, was one of the founders of the “Collegium Curiosum” (1710), the embryo of what later became the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala, the first scientific academy in Sweden. Elvius was the first in Sweden to lecture on Kepler’s laws. Apart from the cropping, a fine copy. ❧ Lalande, p. 354.
