The Libraries would like to showcase a few images from its Heralds of Science collection today. Many of the titles can be found in this online show or by searching through Galaxy of Images.
Jan van der Straet, Nova reperta. Speculum diuersarum imaginum speculatiuarum., 1638
Stephen Hales, Vegetable Staticks: or, An Account of Some Statistical Experiments on the Sap in Vegetables, 1727
