2 copies; copy 2 cropped at top and bottom. Similar to P/B699.4 L. Air-pump, tongs, crucible, and other apparatus at lower left of image; compass, books at lower right. A cat visible in the glass receiver of the air-pump may be an allusion to Addison's comment in The Spectator, no. 21 (1711), "For want of other Patients [they] amuse themselves with the stifling of Cats in an Air-Pump." |
