Widely regarded as one of the greatest voyage collections published in any language the work assembles journals drawn from original editions autograph manuscripts supplied to the editor and first-hand narratives. Compiled by Isaac Commelin 1598-1676 a prominent Amsterdam bookbinder and scholar the collection is also celebrated for its extensive corpus of maps and plates carefully copied either from the original editions or the navigators own manuscript charts.The work was originally published by Johannes Janssonius in Amsterdam under the title Oorsprongh ende Voortgangh der Nederlantsche Oost-Indische Compagnie. It first appeared in 1645 and following its immediate success was reissued in 1646. Divided into twenty-one parts each section comprises multiple travel accounts which are supplemented by official documents and editorial commentaries by Commelin under the heading "Inworp" intended to update and contextualise the reports. Twelve of the travel accounts appear here for the first time including expeditions to the East Indies by Pieter Both Jacob van Neck Steven van der Hagen Wolphert Hermansz Van Warwijck and De Weert Cornelis Matelief Paul van Caerden Wybrant Schram H. Hagenaer and the voyages to the East Indies China and the Philippines by P. Verhoeven. Particularly significant are the preliminary sections which include the full text of the Dutch East India Company's VOC founding charter of 1602 the revised charter of 1622 and other key documents relating to the establishment and governance of the company up to 1631.

Title page shaved at foot without loss leaf A4 shaved at foot with loss of catchword scattered spotting. The sole edition of a detailed account of the 'gross abuses' meted out to Quakers in Newgate Gaol Bristol by Isaac Dennis his Wife and Servants and the Cruelty they acted toward these poor Men in the west-house'. Quaker persecution in Bristol as with elsewhere in England continued in the decades after the Restoration with legislation such as the Conventicle Act designed to supress nonconformist worship and reimpose Anglican uniformity. But the election of the high Tory John Knight d. 1718 as Sheriff in September 1681 led to a significant increase in the number of Quakers imprisoned there. The persecution that the Friends received in gaol which are fully evidenced and witnessed in this tract included denying visits the confiscation of worked goods brutal treatment and graphic threats of death and violence.

First Edition. <br /><br />An anonymous Dutch edition of Philosophia appeared in 1667 and new Latin editions in 1673 and 1674. Evidence for the staying power of the work and the controversies which surrounded it is found in <br /> the fact that it underwent a fourth edition long after Meyer's death in 1776. <br /><br />Rare Quarto edition which preceded the 12mo of the same year. <br /><br />La Peyrere is considered to be the father of Biblical criticism. He asserted in Praeadamitae that there were human beings before Adam. His approach to Biblical scholarship argued that the Bible was just the story of the Jewish people not all of humanity. His book and heretical views were quickly banned. La Peyrere was eventually arrested but offered a half-hearted renunciation of his views to escape punishment. La Peyrere went on to engage in polemics with Richard Simon famous defender of the Bible. A rare and important book in the Radical Enlightenment identified as one of the wicked books of the late 17th century. .the wicked sedition which commenced with La Peyreres Prae-Adamitae gained impetus with the utterly licentious dissipated dictionary of Koerbagh that shameless book the Philosophai S. Scripturae and Hobbes Leviathan and culminated in the Tractatus- Theologico-Politicus and Ethics of Spinoza Israel 367. <br /><br />CONDITION: Very Good in slightly soiled contemporary vellum over boards. Contemporary handwriting on titlepage. Dampstaining in corner of first pages causing ruff edges. Small repair in corner title. Some slight dampstaining in corner map. First edition.

Newton was one of his students and "is known to have helped in preparing Barrow's Lectiones XVIII 1669 and Lectiones geometricae 1670 for publication and even to have added one or two small improvements. As a mathematician Barrow is well-known as a pioneer in the development of calculusÂ…Barrow also presented although in geometrical form the fundamental theorem of the calculus in which integration and differentiation are shown to be inverse operations. His preferenceÂ…for geometrical proofs over algebraic manipulationsÂ…could well have had some influence on the young Newton who later expressed his own distaste for the new techniques introduced into mathematics by Descartes and his followers."
