Physica subterranea profundam subterraneorum genesin, e principiis hucusque ignotis, ostendens. Opus sine pari, primum hactenus et princeps, edito novissima. [...] et Specimen Beccherianum, fondamentorum documentorum, experimentorum, subjunxit Georg. Ernestus Stahl, D.

A very good copy of the key texts of one of the finest German chemists.
