Questions of measuring, calculation and a weather rope
Manuscripts
The volume is a compendium on measuring and calculation, with a final section on a "weather rope;" this is a type of hygrometer, whose use is apparently not described in Britain in other sources, which was first described by Santorio in 1612. The volume is bound with thread in paper covers; with some damage and staining to covers. Facing title page is written: "Thomas Turner / huius libri possesor / est : Anno Domini 1701."
