The title translates loosely to "The Philosopher's Stone entertainment and instruction in all areas of knowledge for home and family." While sounding rather "popular" in nature, this volume is actually quite technical with images of apparatus, many many illustrations highlighting things as complex as optical paths, and a number of full page plates as well.
