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."

"Leeser's career as a translator also began in Philadelphia in 1830 with the publication of his rendering from German of J. Johlson's Instruction in the Mosaic Religion. Leeser as part of his ongoing efforts to contribute to the development of Jewish education and culture in America translated a number of important works into English from German Spanish French and Hebrew. Among his most important translations were Moses Mendelssohn's Jerusalem Joseph Schwartz' Descriptive Geography and Brief Historical Sketch of Palestine as well as his renowned Bible translations first of the Pentateuch and later of the entire Hebrew Bible. Leeser continued to play an unceasing role in creating the cultural foundations of Jewish life in Philadelphia and throughout North America. In 1845 Leeser founded the first American Jewish Publication Society and in the same year published his translation of the Pentateuch entitled The Law of God a bi-lingual edition which included the unpointed unvocalized Hebrew text. " Penn Libraries; Biographical Sketch of Isaac Leeserby Arthur Kiron Schottenstein-Jesselson Curator of Judaica Collections. "The translator of the first American Jewish Bible Isaac Leeser 1806-68 was a modern Orthodox German Jew who immigrated to America in 1822. Leeser 'was the most important Jewish religious leader in the United States during the Ante-bellum Period.' In 1830 Leeser published an English translation of Johlson's catechism Instructions in the Mosaic Religion in Philadelphia another English edition appeared in 1867. However his major work was a Bible translation for American Jews the authoritative English translation until the first Jewish Publication Society translation appeared in 1917." A History of German Jewish Bible Translation Abigail Gillman pg 126. "The translation of the Bible was Leeser's great literary achievement and represented many years of patient labor and devotion to a task which he considered sacred. Leeser was not fully equipped for this work for he was no specialist in Hebrew philology nor a master if Jewish learning in general and he was quite conscious of his shortcomings but he was inspired. He says in his preface: 'I thought in all due humility that I might safely go to task confidently relying upon that superior aid which is never withheld from the inquirer after truth.' He made good use of the various German translations by Jews of the collective commentary known as the Biur vol. III sec. 81 and of other Jewish exegetic works. As a result his translation though based in style upon the King James version can be considered an independent work for the changes he produced are numerous and great. His prime consern was to supply the traditional interpretation when necessary and the retention of the Jewish spirit at times even at the expense of beauty of style. The translation went through numerous editions and until the new Jewish Publication Society version was issued in 1917 it was the only source from which many Jews not conversant with Hebrew derived their knowledge of the Bible in accordance with Jewish tradition" Waxman History of Jewish Literature 1090.

Kabir is known for being critical of both Hinduism and Islam stating followers of both were misguided by the Vedas and Quran and questioning their meaningless rites of initiation such as the sacred thread and circumcision respectively.25 During his lifetime he was threatened by both Hindus and Muslims for his views.6:4 When he died both Hindus and Muslims he had inspired claimed him as theirs.3 Kabir suggested that Truth is with the person who is on the path of righteousness considered all creatures on earth as his own self and who is passively detached from the affairs of the world.3 To know the Truth suggested Kabir drop the "I" or the ego.6:4 Kabir's legacy survives and continues through the Kabir panth "Path of Kabir" a religious community that recognises him as its founder and is one of the Sant Mat sects. Its members are known as Kabir panthis.7"--Wikipedia Radha Soami Satsang Beas unknown books

1797028149New York: Printed and sold by Isaac Collins no. 189 Pearl-Street 1797. Small Octavo. xii 2 360 pages. In this travelogue and account of American Quaker practice Scott recounts how he traveled from his home in Rhode Island to congregations of Friends throughout the United States in 1779. The big issue was the Quaker refusal to pay taxes to support the war. Though evocative place names are abundant travel-detail is limited. His diary is divided between his soul-searching and specific accounts of his experiences at various meetings. Although Scott often records feeling compelled to remain silent in these meetings he was a notable speaker and his writings although they became controversial after his death were highly influential. "A testimony from the Monthly Meeting of Providence concerning Job Scott."--Page iii-x./ Bio/History: "The Rhode Island Quaker minister Job Scott . was not a deist but a Quietist who advocated the inward experience of God over any outward authorities and placed personal experience as central to authentic spiritual experience ." Previous owner's gift of book reads: "Mary Lawson to Lactitia Harry to Sarah Lukens". The inscription appears to be in the early 19th century. Bound in modern black cloth spine lettering gilt newer endpapers some toning to leaves. A very good copy. Cf. Dandelion Introduction to Quakerism p. 84. Evans 32810; Howes S-228.
