Joints and extremities somewhat rubbed boards with a hint of chafing occasional very minor foxing including to the final plate half a dozen leaves with faint dampstain to head edge but a really excellent copy the other plates clean and bright the text especially clean and fresh and the binding entirely sound.<br/> <br/> This is a very rarely seen early work on the topography of Venus written by the astronomer who first observed the planet's so-called phase anomaly and illustrated with 10 folding plates. One of a series of "fragments" Schröter published--the others concerning the sun the moon Saturn and Mercury--"Aphroditographische Fragmente" discusses the author's observations of Venus' surface at the same time coining the term "Aphroditographie" in reference to the Greek version of the goddess' name. The most important observation contained in our work concerns the phases of Venus: like the moon Venus appears to wax and wane when observed through a telescope. However due to the thickness of its atmosphere the planet will always appear less full than mathematical calculations indicate it should be. This phenomenon known as Venus' phase anomaly--or the Schröter Effect--first observed by the man who gave it its name in 1793 is discussed in detail in this text which is accompanied by highly detailed plates. Eight of these are focused on Venus primarily depicting its phases; another is a diagram of the telescope; and the other depicts the Orion Nebula to which there is a short addendum. Schröter 1745-1816 built a state-of-the-art observatory at Lilienthal in Lower Saxony equipped with the largest telescopes available at the time. One such instrument which he built in his own workshop was an impressive 27-foot telescope discussed in the present work which has sometimes been incorrectly credited to Schröter's colleague William Herschel 1738-1822. Schröter made systematic long-term observations of the surfaces of the moon and planets something DSB tells us he was the first to do. Not everything he discovered or asserted turned out to be true. Based on his findings he posited the existence of a mountain range on Venus' surface and suggested a rotation period for the planet. Both subsequently were disproven modern scientists have suggested that Schröter's "mountain" may have been an overly optimistic observation of a cloud formation but like the rest of his work they demonstrated the commitment to observational astronomy that leads astronomy historians William Sheehan and Richard Baum to call Schröter "the man who laid the foundations of planetology and modern selenography." His long and impressive astronomical career came to an unfortunate end in 1813 when during the Napoleonic invasion the French reportedly set fire to his observatory. His library instruments unpublished notes and copies of many of his works which were published in small runs at his expense were said to have been destroyed in the fire a fact that may partly explain the current rarity of our book. We have been able to trace at auction only an ex-library copy of the book with significant condition problems that sold in 1981 for a hammer price of £260; the fact that such an unattractive copy came from the distinguished Honeyman collection reinforces how difficult the work is to obtain.

He is also known for being a child prodigy and holding the record for being the youngest professor. A mathematician and younger contemporary of Newton's Maclaurin believed in Newton's theory of calculus and in the relationship between natural philosophy and mathematics. In this work which was published posthumously by subscription Maclaurin writes on Newton's discoveries and methods of investigation and also includes a long history of natural philosophy. "Though a number of other general expositions of Newton's thought were published during the eighteenth century MacLaurin's Account has long been recognized as the leading authoritative statement of mainstream Newtonianism" DNB. .

Per Wikipedia Willem Jacob 'S Gravesande 1688 - 1742 Was A Dutch Lawyer And Natural Philosopher Chiefly Remembered For Developing Experimental Demonstrations Of The Laws Of Classical Mechanics. As Professor Of Mathematics Astronomy And Philosophy At Leiden University He Helped To Propagate Isaac Newton's Ideas In Continental Europe. In 1715 'S Gravesande Visited London As Part Of A Dutch Delegation Sent To Welcome The Hanoverian Succession In Great Britain. In London 'S Gravesande Met Both King George I And Isaac Newton And Was Elected A Fellow Of The Royal Society.In 1717 He Became Professor Of Mathematics And Astronomy In Leiden. From That Position He Was Instrumental In Introducing Newton's Work To The Netherlands. 'S Gravesande's Main Scientific Work Is Physices Elementa Mathematica Experimentis Confirmata Sive Introductio Ad Philosophiam Newtonianam "Mathematical Elements Of Natural Philosophy Confirmed By Experiments; Or An Introduction To Newtonian Philosophy" Published In Leiden In 1720. In That Book He Laid The Foundations For The Teaching Of Newtonian Mechanics Through Experimental Demonstrations. He Presented His Work Before Audiences That Included Voltaire And Albrecht Von Haller. The Book Was Soon Translated Into English By John Theophilus Desaguliers Curator Of Experiments For The Royal Society. In 1722 He Published The Results Of A Series Of Experiments In Which Brass Balls Were Dropped From Varying Heights Onto A Soft Clay Surface. He Found That A Ball With Twice The Speed Of Another Would Leave An Indentation Four Times As Deep From Which He Concluded That The Correct Expression For The "Live Force" Of A Body In Motion What Is Modernly Called Its "Kinetic Energy" Is Proportional To Its Mass And The Square Of Its Velocity. <br/> <br/> Lugduni Batavorum Apud Petrum Vander Aa hardcover
