A discussion on the mythology and influence of celestial bodies. A French writer Pluche 1688-1761 was a classical professor at Reims before taking Holy Orders and becoming director of the college at Clarement. His opinions forced him to leave the college and he settled in France where he made his reputation with his popular work "Spectacle de al Nature" 1732 in nine volumes. It was translated into 9 languages and was popular in England. The present work was first issued in 1735. This Catholic apologist offers a extended discussion of Newtonianism and the conformity of modern science to the teachings of Genesis. "In his Histoire Pluche restated his opposition to the cosmologies proposed by the physicists-whom he termed `romans philosophiques'-- and sought to display the excellence of the physics of Moses which supposedly conforms to the teachings of both `history and experimental physics. He also attemped to demonstrate that monotheism preceded polytheism." Dic. of Scientific Biog. XI pp. 42-44. Jean Neaulme unknown books
