Pp. 1-118 a. 2 folded engraved plates. Cavendish's paper: pp. 1-62. the torsion balance of Michell shown on the plates. <br/><br/><em>First German edition of Cavendish's famous paper in which he calculated the weight of the earth and determined its mass. He also as the first observed gravitational motion of minute portions of matter. He estimates the earth's mass to 66 x 10 to the potential of 24 kg. The original paper "Experiments to determine the Density of the Earth" appeared in Philosophical Transaction 1798."Cavendish published five papers between 1784 and 1809.With one exception they were comparatively minor productions.The exception was his determination of the density of the earth or weighing of the world in 1798 by means of John Michell's torsion balance. The apparatus consisted of two lead balls on either end of a suspended beam; these movable balls were attracted by a pair of stationary lead balls. Cavendish calculated the the force of attraction between the balls fro the observed period of oscillation of the balance and deduced the density of the earth from the force. He found it to be 5.48 times that of water. Cavendish was the first to observe gravitational motions induced by comparatively minute portions of ordinary matter.By weighing the world he rendered the law of gravitation complete. The law was no longer a proportionally statement but a quantitatively exact one; this was the most importent addition to the science of gravitation since Newton."DSB III p. 158. </em> unknown

1727026143London: J. Tonson 1727. First Edition. Quarto. 12 327 pages 18 leaves of tables one folding errata mounted to bottom of the second page of contents verso. This volume includes plate 18 which was done by Sir Isaac Newton near the end of his life Wallis 'Newton & Newtoniana' #357 while he was Master of the British Mint 1700-1727; During Newton's tenure at the mint he issued at least thirteen reports which like this one are all rare. Table 34 which is a fold-out of plate 18 is among his very last original works accomplished in his lifetime. While Newton is certainly best known for his scientific work in mathematics and physics a large part of his working life was his time as Master of the Mint; in fact his precise measurements enabled savings in the minting process. The previous system had not been uniform his keen measurements enabled an exact weight in determining the number of grains in an ounce of gold with precision had not been available previous to his work. The table is also known in Scottish bibliographies for the section on Scottish Weights and Measurements.

17901230921790. First Edition. NEWTON John. The Christian Correspondent; or A Series of Religious Letters Written by The Rev. John Newton to Captain Alexr. Clunie From the Year 1761 to the Death of the Latter in 1770. Hull: Printed by George Prince 1790. Octavo modern half olive cloth black morocco spine labels. $1200.First edition of the collected 18th-century letters between John Newton a slaveship master and born-again Christian to Alexander Clunie a fellow slaveship captain and Newton's Christian mentor.The Rev. John Newton was born into a sailing family. His father was a shipmaster in the Mediterranean. While Newton's mother raised him as a Christian she died when he was just six years old. Newton spent a few years in boarding school before joining his father at sea. While Newton was slated to become a slave master at a Jamaican sugar plantation he was forced into naval service. After attempting to desert and surviving a brutal court marshal Newton went to work in the slave trade. While he found Christianity in 1748 after nearly dying in a storm at sea he remained an active slave shipmaster. ""In the summer of 1750 Newton began another slaving expedition this time as master of the Duke of Argyle Throughout this voyage and the next as master of the African Newton felt no scruples about slave trading seeing it as the work marked out for him by Providence though he admits to his horror at slavery's brutal accoutrements and his prayer that in God's own time he would receive a more humane calling one that would keep him in regular communion with other Christians perhaps a reflection of his new friendship with Alexander Clunie whom he met when the African called at St. Kitts. Clunie a fellow ship master and believer convinced Newton of the importance of the fellowship of believers and of his security in the covenant of grace. In 1790 their long-term friendship ultimately resulted in the publication of The Christian Correspondent a collection of letters they exchanged over the years"" mainly dealing with Christianity and family life Encyclopedia of Christian Literature 489. In the time between the writing and publication of these letters a great deal changed in Newton's life. Following a series of strokes in 1854 that forced him to leave the seafaring life Newton reconsidered his association with slavery. He acknowledged the damage that it wreaked on a person's humanity and began to view it as fundamentally opposed to Christian beliefs. In the final years of his life he became an ardent abolitionist. He wrote extensively on the subjectas he had on all subjects throughout his lifeand counted Wilberforce among his closest friends. ESTC T18631.

Those positions combined with income from his estate made him both financially secure and almost free from prescribed duties. His great researches on optics were the first fruits of that freedom. However at the same time he became an earnest student of both alchemy and of theology. His surviving manuscripts show that in the latter field he reached firstly an anti-Trinitarian or Arian position which developed into an even more radical position which saw Jesus as merely the latest of a series of prophets sent by God to reclaim mankind from false gods a position Newton developed in the 1680s in the unpublished manuscript of "his most important theological composition 'Theologiae gentilis origines philosophicae' 'The philosophical origins of gentile theology'" O.D.N.B.<br />Such opinions were completely unacceptable to contemporary society and Newton realising that they would have undermined his position kept them a closely guarded secret but in later life he revisited the treatise and "thoroughly purged it became his 'Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended' 1728. The original treatise he kept to himself . When he died his heirs found the completed manuscript of the Chronology which they immediately sold to a publisher for £350" O.D.N.B. and the book was published shortly thereafter.<br />The book was distributed in Dublin by Smith and Bruce. John Smith an Ulster Presbyterian whose radical activities had led to his expulsion from Glasgow University in 1722 came to Dublin in 1724 where with the sympathetically minded William Smith and later William Bruce he established a book-selling business. They were notable for their intellectual and continental connections they were cousins of the philosopher Francis Hutcheson and their publication of works challenging conventional opinions. <br />E. Hudson is probably Edward Hudson 1703 ca. - 1757 of Ardee Co. Louth who having entered Trinity College in 1722 aged 19 became a Fellow in 1728 the year of publication of this book. He was later Rector of Omagh. The signature on the title page may be that of Rev. George Thomas Payne 1819-1888 of Kilkenny who had entered T.C.D. in 1833.</p> Printed for J. Tonson, J.

179095361London: Printed for J.F. and C. Rivington et al 1790. Eighteenth century example of Milton's masterpiece Paradise Lost: A Poem in Twelve Books and Paradise Regain'd. Octavo 4 volumes bound in full contemporary tree calf gilt titles and tooling to the spine red morocco spine labels gilt ruled marbled endpapers ribbons bound in all edges speckled brown engraved frontispiece to two volumes. In near fine condition. A desirable example. First published in 1667 "Paradise Lost is generally conceded to be one of the greatest poems in the English language; and there is no religious epic in English which measures up to Milton's masterpiece. Milton performed an artist's service to his God" Magill 511 515. The writer and critic Samuel Johnson wrote that Paradise Lost shows off "Milton's peculiar power to astonish" and that "Milton seems to have been well acquainted with his own genius and to know what it was that Nature had bestowed upon him more bountifully than upon others: the power of displaying the vast illuminating the splendid enforcing the awful darkening the gloomy and aggravating the dreadful." By 1688 when England was on the verge of the Whig revolution Milton's reputation had revived considerably. He was commended for his republicanism as well as his record as a defender of liberty. His supporters believed that his greatest poetic achievement merited this handsome monumental edition. One of the earliest examples of subscription publishing financed by Lord Somers the fourth edition of Paradise Lost was the first to be printed in folio format and is the first illustrated edition distinguished by high quality paper large clear type and ample margins. Milton had previously reorganized the poem into twelve books by splitting Books 7 and 10 of the original to parallel Virgil's Aeneid more closely. Printed for J.F. and C.
