182018041717London: Printed for Thomas Boys of Ludgate Hill printed by Thomas Davison Whitefriars 1820. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Cruikshank Isaac Robert. Quarto size 212 pp. not matching pagination see below with 12 aquatints by Isaac Robert Cruikshank. A humorous collection of sketches exalting through parody the merits of the thrifty. The writing although very much a parody contains many nuggets of truths which illuminate how little the world has changed in the about 200 years since the book's publication: "Money money alone though it has been unaccountably neglected by authors strangers perhaps to its very name and still more to its practical use and management. . .is the mainspring of all human action want wish and desire." The author goes on to state that it is the desire of "the Save-all Club" to keep "the Kind and Benevolent Reader" out of the grip of poverty through thrift. The "Rules of the Club" provide amusing proof of such virtue: Rule VI "The smallest superfluous expense is not only a reproach to a member but he may be fined by the Committee for the use of the poor"; and Rule IV "As a new coat never fails to attract animadversion in the Club the members are requested to avoid that singularity as much as possible. If it prove that the coat is only turned the owner shall dine that day GRATIS".<br /> <br /> Isaac Robert Cruikshank 1759-1856 was a popular English caricature artist and cartoonist and like his brother George is known for his pioneer work in the history of comics and comic strip cartoons. He collaborated often with George who is better known for his work with Charles Dickens. <br /> <br /> This edition was originally issued in boards and had pp. 39-42 87-110 and 163-178 omitted as is the case in this edition and all known editions and which is explained in a footnote appearing on p. xvi: "The reader will perceive an hiatus after p. 38 another after p. 86 and a third after p. 162. Some digressions occurred in those places on subjects too abstruse to be generally interesting; they have therefore been withdrawn; but in consequence of a temporary absence of the author the suppression took place after the work was printed. As the connexion of its parts is not disturbed it is hoped that the liberty thus taken will be tolerated with indulgence." Additionally this copy has plate no. 11 bound as the frontis instead of being bound at p. 186.

1972000013920Cambridge Massachusetts: Harvard University Press 1972. First Harvard University Press edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 2 vol. Folio. 4 v-xl 2 1-547 3; 7 548-916 pp. Black cloth with silver lettering on the spine. Illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of Isaac Newton taken from the 1726 edition of Newton's Principia. Also illustrated with 67 in-text diagrams from the original editions. The text and illustrations are reproduced here from the first three published editions of Newton’s Principia. Assembled and edited by Alexandre Koyré and I. Bernard Cohen with the assistance of Anne Whitman. Pressler Printing in the Mind of Man PMM 96. According to PMM "The Principia is generally described as the greatest work in the history of science . providing the great synthesis of the cosmos proving finally its physical unity". Newton's work provided the last blow to the Aristotelian view of the universe present and dominant through the medieval period and into the Renaissance. The book was a great catalyst for the Scientific Revolution. This edition allows the reader to see how Newton's work evolved over time from the manuscript draft of the first edition between 1685 and 1687 to the release of the third edition in 1726. The textual variations are displayed with other variant readings taken from surviving manuscripts. The front flap refers to this publication as a photographic reprint of the third edition with the variant readings from the seven other sources at the bottom of each page. Thus the reader can easily observe Newton's changes. The appendices provide a bibliography of the Principia information on the contributions of Roger Cotes and Henry Pemberton and a complete table of contents for the third edition. A beautiful example of this important and comprehensive edition of one of the great works of science. A private person's stamp on the front pastedown of each volume; a small blemish to volume one's jacket's front panel. Harvard University Press hardcover
