Leaf 137/138 has piece missing not affecting text --- perhaps the signatures were gathered and published that way. Overall: Good Plus. A beautifully produced work by the famous high quality private press Nonesuch Press in England established in 1923. This work was first published in 1686 notable because it is one of the first to attempt to explain scientific theories in popular mainstream language. The story is a series of conversations between a philosopher and a marquise who walk in marquise's garden at night gaze at the stars and discuss key issues such as the possibility of life on other planets or stars. The dialogues were more influential than any other work in securing acceptance of the Copernican system still far from commanding universal support in 1686. A highly collectible rare book.
