Hi K/L  I am trying to post pages of the book for you, but having difficulty!!
The Book is called 'An Elementary Course of Physics.'
By Rev. J.C.P. Aldous.
Published by Macmillan. in 1900, so no copyright to worry about.
John bought it in a jumble sale when he was about 15, and his Father paid to have it re-bound as it was in a very tatty state.

So, here goes!!   :X:

And here is the Wimshurst Machine John made in my kitchen!!!  
And, yes they are flowers in water in a cut crystal vase!!!

And now I am going for a lie down after all that...it has taken 2 hours to convert that lot, so I hope you can read all the writing!!
