Damaged copy of Rumford's classic work. The pagination matches the description of the third edition, but without the title page and imprint it is difficult to be sure.

Born in America, he was a Loyalist in the War of Independence, and ended up in London, then Paris and Munich. As well as solving the problems of inefficient fireplaces he helped to found the Royal Institute, and - apparently - invented thermal underwear. One of the great Enlightenment figures.…
