Described by press founder Francis Meynell as "a little peach of a book" this discussion on the heliocentric universe was one of the significant works of the Enlightenment. First published in 1686 it takes the form of a conversation between a philosopher and a marquise on scientific theories about the cosmos and it was credited for stimulating public interest in astronomy. The playful astrological ornaments and colorful stencils make this fine translation especially charming. Nonesuch Press unknown
