Shewing what great things may be perform'd by mechanick engines, in removing and raising bodies of vast weight with little strength, or force; and also the making of machines, or engines, for raising of water, draining of grounds, and several other uses. Together with a treatise of circular motion artificially fitted to mechanick use, and the making of clock-work and other engins. A work pleasant and profitable for all sorts of men, from the highest to the lowest degree: and never treated of in English but once before, and that but briefly. The whole comprized in ten books, and illustrated with copper cuts. By Ven. Mandey and J. Moxon, philomat.
