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.
