Description
[Walker (Obadiah)] Propositions Concerning Optic-Glasses, with their natural Reasons, drawn from Experiments, first edition, engraved title-vignette, woodcut diagrams in text, some light water-staining, mostly marginal, modern calf-backed marbled boards, [Wing W409; Madan 3208], 4to, Oxford, At the Theater, 1679.

⁂ "Attributed to Odadiah Walker; sometimes also attributed to Abraham Woodhead (R.H., pseudonym), and Robert Cooper." (ESTC). Apart from the Macclesfield copy in 2005, which was bound with 3 other works and made £21,000, no other copy traced at auction since 1952. Sotheby's attributed the work definitively to Cooper, suggesting that Walker was in fact the publisher.
