A note indicates this was also re-issued as miscellany works Oeuvres diverses of Fontenelle in 1736 see pt. 4. Fontenelle was a prolific biographer of notable persons publishing also a series of Dialogues with famous past historical figures. His Eloges commenced with a 1699 work on Claude Bourdelin. He also issued collective editions starting in 1708. This is the first 'separate' edition of the "Suite" containing biographies of 14 scientific notables.

The volume for the year 1699 which appeared in 1702 opens with an untitled preface usually called "Préface sometimes "Discours préliminaire" sur l’utilitë des mathématiques et de la physique et sur les travaux de l’Académie the paper offered which contains essential material on the philosophy of science and is a sort of bridge between Descartes’s Discours de la méthode and Claude Bernard’s Introduction à l’étude de la médecine expérimentale. Here one finds the first literary expression of the idea of the interdependence of the sciences and of the constancy of the laws of nature." </em> unknown

Embossed ownership stamps of S. G. Morten heraldic bearing: crowned eagle wings raised. Good. Early edition in English of the author's Nouveaux dialogues des morts. Fontenelle was one of the earliest authors of "popular science" texts. While not much of a researcher himself he found great success expounding the discoveries of his contemporaries in such a way that a broad audience could make sense of them. In his own time his popularity as an author among educated French society was second only to Voltaire and he was in fact "described by Voltaire as having the most universal mind produced by the era of Louis XIV" – Britannica. Fontenelle's Dialogues of the Dead was very popular at the time of its publication and the basic conceit of the book is still employed by authors today. In the work Fontenelle imagines dialogues between great minds of various eras such as the philosophers Socrates and Montaigne or the physicians Erasistratus and William Harvey. This allows the imagined speakers to present their views in a naturalistic way making them much more palatable to lay readers who might have difficulty sloughing through more scholarly works like On the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals.

Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle 1657 1757 was noted for his accessible treatment of scientific topics during the unfolding of the Age of Enlightenment. Remarkably for his time he died only one month before his 100th birthday. A noted gourmand he attributed his longevity to eating strawberries. Book I in this volume is the second edition of the first Dutch translation of "Entretiens sur la pluralité des mondes." First edition was in 1702. The author engages in a philosophical discussion with laymen in this book about Copernican astronomy and Cartesian physics with the aim of education readers about science. Includes fold-out engraving of the solar system and anoter one showing the surface of the moon. There are also two title poems by Joh. vanden Brouke and A. de Zoete. <br /> <br />John Ray 1627 1705 author of the second book was an English parson-naturalist who published several important works on botany zoology and natural theology. The John Ray Initiative formed in 1997 takes its name from this theologian; the organization exists to promote a Christian understanding of environmental issues.
