Diagrams relating to experiments for the re-integration of nitre and the pressure of air, in a letter from Benedict de Spinoza to Henry Oldenburg.
Object history
According to Birch, Spinoza's correspondence with Oldenburg is only acknowledged in the latter's obituary (not in the minutes of the meeting) as starting in 1665 (Birch 3:354). However, this letter indicates there was correspondence between the two prior to 1665.
