Text in Latin. Dedication, preface, table of contents. Bernoulli's epochal work on fluids and gases. "A milestone in the study of the flow of fluids. In this work he established the 'Bernouilli Principle' that as the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases... Of particular interest are his critical observations on his father's theories". Twelve foldout plates, with 78 figures illustrating Bernoulli's research follow text.
