Information from submitter:
There are three possible titles for this book. It is taken
from "Discourse on Bodies in Water" edited by Stillman Drake,
who noted that the work is more commonly referred to as "Discourse
on Floating Bodies". Within Drake's book is a facsimile of
Salusbury's translation titled: "A Discourse Concerning the
Natation of Bodies upon, and Submersion in, Water", and this
is what's being submitted. All the modern material is omitted,
so it doesn't make sense to use Drake's title. This will
explain the contents of the "title" tag used in the HTML file.
Regards,
Al
