Trade Review

"After two centuries, Perry's work can now be judged by a modern audience in this handsome fascimile edition. Summing Up: Highly Recommended."
—CHOICE


"While it would be easy to simply delight in the plates and dismiss the text as of little value, from an historical perspective there is something to be gained by taking the time to read it. At the very least Perry's Arcana provides insights into an important period in the development of the natural sciences as we know them today."
