Isaac Newton Document Signed.

1698149618January 25 1698-1699. Rare vellum manuscript signed by Sir Isaac Newton as Warden of the Royal Mint in which he makes a case against his nemesis coin counterfeiter William Chaloner soon to be hanged for high treason. One page vellum manuscript document signed by Isaac Newton Â â€œIs. Newtonâ€ January 25 1698-1699. Recognizance bond issued by Isaac Newton as Warden of the Royal Mint to ensure the future appearance of Nathaniel Peck as a witness against Newtonâ€™s nemesis the counterfeiter William Chaloner. The document reads in part "Nathanl Peck de Black Fryars Londonâ€¦Thos Worley de St Sepulchres London Gloverâ€¦Symon Cross de east Aurifaberâ€¦Upon Condition the said Peck do personally appear at the next Genll Sessions of the peace â€¦in St John str for the County aforesaid Then and there to answerâ€¦objected agt him touching his packing away Counterfeit money for advantage." Appointed as Warden of the Mint in 1696 upon the recommendation of Charles Montagu Chancellor of the Exchequer Isaac Newton ascended to the role of Master of the Mint the following yearâ€”a position he would retain for the remainder of his life. Prioritizing his duties at the Mint over his academic commitments he relinquished his responsibilities at Cambridge in 1701 to devote himself fully to the office. As Master Newton spearheaded significant currency reforms and pursued counterfeiters with unwavering diligence wielding the full force of the law as exemplified by the fate of William Chaloner. On the very day Newton signed this bond he received a formal statement from Nathaniel Peck who attested that seven years prior Chaloner had commissioned him to modify two iron pieces which were subsequently used to produce counterfeit French pistoles. Additionally Peck admitted to purchasing counterfeit pistoles from Chaloner at a rate of eight shillings per coin and reselling them for eleven shillings. Some months later Chaloner provided Peck with forged guineas which he likewise circulated before Chaloner turned to Thomas Holloway as his preferred distributor. By early 1699 Newton had compiled a formidable body of evidence against Chaloner consisting of 44 depositions. Chaloner had been apprehended in November 1698 on charges of forging lottery tickets though those specific allegations were ultimately dismissed. Nevertheless Newton proceeded to indict him on three separate counts securing a conviction for high treason on March 3 1699. Mere weeks later on March 22 Chaloner met his end at the gallows of Tyburn. In good condition fold at center scattered toning. Archivally mounted matted and framed with a portrait of Newton. The document measures 12.25 inches by 3 inches. The entire piece measures 23.5 inches by 23 inches. Signed documents by Newton are exceptionally rare. Isaac Newton 1643â€“1727 was an English mathematician physicist and astronomer widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists in history. His groundbreaking work PhilosophiÃ¦ Naturalis Principia Mathematica 1687 laid the foundation for classical mechanics introducing the laws of motion and universal gravitation. However beyond his scientific achievements Newton played a crucial role in Englandâ€™s financial and legal system. In 1696 he was appointed Warden of the Royal Mint largely due to the recommendation of Charles Montagu Chancellor of the Exchequer. A few years later in 1699 he became Master of the Mint a position he held until his death. Newton took his role seriously overseeing the recoinage of Englandâ€™s currency implementing measures to stabilize the economy and aggressively pursuing counterfeiters. His meticulous investigations led to the conviction of notorious forgers like William Chaloner demonstrating his unwavering commitment to upholding the integrity of Englandâ€™s monetary system. hardcover

The treatise on the Scoter occupies pp. 119 of the second part. This exquisite duck has been the subject of numerous and lengthy controversies The history of the scoter deserves our attention as it holds both gastronomic and theological interest. Because of the peculiar beliefs surrounding their origin these birds were considered lean meat and therefore permitted during Lent. This curious privilege arose from the fact that they appeared suddenly in countless flocks upon the waters surface and aided by a taste for the marvellous people imagined that they were born from seaweed decayed wood or shells. The poet Du Bartas echoed this notion in his Création du Monde when he celebrated this strange creature: Ainsi le vieil fragment d'une barque se change En des canards volants ô changement étrange Même corps fut jadis arbre verd puis vaisseau Naguère champignon et maintenant oyseau! It is easy to see how such a belief could reassure the most timid consciences; it thus required Pope Innocent III to issue an explicit prohibition placing the flesh of the scoter among forbidden meats. In vain did he launch his prohibitions for enthusiasts continued to eat them; and when the truth about these birds became known thanks to Graindorge and the accounts of navigators other pretexts were sought to preserve the old regulations. It was suggested that the scoters blood was cold even claimed that its fat resembled fish oil and the custom which lasted into the nineteenth century of eating scoters during Lent was extended to other waterfowl such as brant geese coots and teal which were conveniently confused with the species sanctioned by the councils. Cf. G. Oberlé Les Fastes de Bacchus et de Comus no. 869 concerning Graindorges Traité de lorigine des macreuses 1680. Pierre DAVID hardcover
