19331002709No place: no publisher 1933. Ephemeral promotional broadside produced in support of A.S.W. Rosenbach's Early American Children's Books. The broadside reprints Charles F. Heartman's favorable American Book Collector review of Rosenbach's book praising "the Doctor" for the breadth of his vision: "he has succeeded in robbing the dreary religious aspect of most of the early publications of its unattractiveness by injecting humorous remarks and reverting to a philosophical treatment. Regardless if one is a collector of children's books or not this is a scholarly book about books that should have a place in every collector's library." Heartman notes that the foreword by American collector A. Edward Newton makes Rosenbach's book "a necessary item to any collection of Newtoniana" as well. One copy recorded in the Charles F. Heartman Papers at the University of Southern Mississippi; we handled a second copy in 2015. A very good copy of a striking broadside. Color-printed pictorial broadside measuring 17.5 x 12.5 inches. Two faint creases from folding several small paper repairs and evidence of previous mount to verso one short closed tear. no publisher unknown books

183121773London: James Nisbet &T. Stevenson Cambridge 1831. 8vo 23.5 cm; 9". 1 f. xii 250 pp. <br><br>Third edition. In addition to being a physicist mathematician and natural philosopher Sir Isaac Newton was something of a Biblical scholar as well as shown by the present exegesis on apocalyptic texts. His analysis generally reads as being practical in nature as the New Catholic Encyclopedia X 428 says "Newton's writings on apocalyptical prophecies were not mystical or millenarian in any sense but more exercises in deciphering cryptograms." They comport with our sense of him as someone who believed in the scientific method!<br>Â Â Â Â "A new edition with the citations translated and notes by P.

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.

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.
