"The mercurial barometer, with which this book is chiefly concerned, first became fashionable as a piece of furniture in the late seventeenth century. After a brief but helpful technical introduction, Nicholas Goodison traces the development of the domestic barometer in England and discusses the clockmakers, instrument-makers, and other retailers who made and sold barometers."
