Philadelphia Publishers' Names Shown On Title Page, London Printer's Name Shown On Verso Of That Page. Quite Worn, Front Cover And Two Endpapers Detached, Binding Split In Two Near Center But Still Holding, Morocco / Gilt Spine Label Mostly Chipped Away, A Few Letters Remaining. Basic Scientific Facts In 1815, But There Is No Evidence That Even Half Of High School Graduates In 2023 In The U.S.A Could Pass A Test On Them Without Use Of Their I-Phones. Public Education Is Ill-Defined If Not An Oxymoron, Being A Selective Tool For Promotion Of The Best But Utterly Failing The Rest. The Aberage Graduate Can't Locate The Countries Of The World On A Map, Doesn't Really Believe In Evolution, And Has No Philosophical Idea Of What Is Good, And Why, Nor What Is The Economic Feasibility Of The Government They Demand For Others. Teachers Must Be Increasingly Highly Paid To Put Up With This Without Major Protests.
