Author/ Illustrator
The volume was translated and abridged by John Martyn, F.R.S., and Ephraim Chambers, F.R.S.
The collection includes papers on natural philosophy, anatomy, astronomy, and other early scientific topics. It was intended to make the discoveries of the French Academy accessible to an English-speaking audience, similar to the works of the Royal Society of London.
The coat of arms depicts a bull's head, possibly referencing the Coppinger family. Text: Below the crest, the text reads "Thos. Stephen Coppinger" and "Midleton".
