Collection of 5 original Black Panther / Peace and Freedom Party oversize bumper stickers

1968143730Berkeley: Berkley Graphics Arts 1968. Collection of five vintage bumper stickers from the 1968 political campaigns run via a collaboration between the Black Panthers and the Peace and Freedom Party. Each of the stickers were made for various Peace and Freedom Party political campaigns including: Mario Savio for California state senator Black Panther founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale and Eldridge Cleaver for president and two stickers simply advertising the Peace and Freedom Party itself. In 1968 the Black Panthers would move away from direct actions including their legendary confrontations with the Berkeley police department and briefly into the political sphere when they joined forces with the PFP a left-wing anti-war party advocating Black liberation women's liberation and LGBTQ rights. The campaigns were largely seen as political statements as Cleaver was a convicted felon and technically ineligible for the presidency due to his being under the age of 35 by the time of inauguration and as Newton and Seale were on trial at the time repeatedly being denied their civil liberties. All items rare each with original peel-off paper backing and each between 4 x 13.5 an 4 x 15 inches. Near Fine and unused with light soil on two of the stickers and rubber stamp for the "Lancaster County Peace & Freedom Movement Organizing Committee" on the verso of one sticker. A few of these rear peel-off panels have come loose due to dryness but most are intact and the bumper stickers themselves are unaffected. Berkley Graphics Arts unknown books

Mathematical Elements of Natural Philosophy Confirm'd by Experiments: Or an Introduction to Sir Isaac Newton's Philosophy. Written in Latin by the late W. James s'Gravesande. Translated into English by J. T. Desaguliers. The Sixth Edition greatly improved by the author.

1747RW1580London:: Printed by W. Innys T. Longman and T. Shewell C. Hitch and M. Senex 1747. 1747. 2 volumes. 4to. 4 lxxv 1 475 1; ii 389 33 pp. Original full calf raised bands calf gilt-stamped red & brown spine labels; joints cracked. Small rubberstamp on title. Very good. NICE CLEAN COPY. Sixth edition "greatly improved by the author" of 'sGravedande's extensive experimentation and instruction in Newtonian physics. The experiments range from basic physics to hydraulics optics electricity and astronomy. The entire work is profusely illustrated with folding engraved plates detailing among many other experiments and apparatuses a steam-powered Hero's Engine plate 78 a static electricity generator plate 79 the first magic lantern slide projector plate 109 the prismatic effect of a rainbow plate 120 and the known solar system plate 122. 'sGravesande "is the author of Elements de physique demonstres mathematiquement. . . ou introduction a la philosophie Newtonienne which was translated from the Latin and published at Leyden in 1746. In the second volume he gives a description of an electrical machine constructed on the plan of that of Hauksbee. It consisted merely of a crystal globe which was mounted upon a copper stand and against which was pressed the hand of the operator while it was made to revolve rapidly by means of a large wheel." Mottelay. / Willem Jacob 'sGravesande was a Dutch philosopher and mathematician. Born in 's-Hertogenbosch he studied law in Leiden and wrote a thesis on suicide. In 1715 he visited London and King George I. He became a member of the Royal Society. In 1717 he became professor in physics and astronomy in Leiden and introduced the works of his friend Newton in the Netherlands. He was ardently opposed to fatalists like Hobbes and Spinoza. In 1724 Peter the Great offered him a job in Saint Petersburg but 'sGravesande did not accept. His best remembered work is Physices elementa mathematica experimentis confirmata sive introductio ad philosophiam Newtonianam or Mathematical Elements of Natural Philosophy Confirm'd by Experiments Leiden 1720 in which he laid the foundations for teaching Newtonian physics. / 'sGravesande's chief original contribution to physics involved an experiment in which brass balls are dropped with varying velocity onto a soft clay surface. This demonstrated that a ball with twice the velocity of another would leave an indentation four times as deep that three times the velocity yielded nine times the depth and so on. He shared these results with Emilie du ChÃ¢telet who subsequently corrected Newton's formula E = mv to E = mv2. / 'sGravesande was also the owner of the oldest known magic lantern which was built around 1720 by Jan van Musschenbroek and is currently housed at the Museum Booerhave in Leiden. / "From the outset of his teaching both physics and astronomy 'sGravesande modeled his lectures on the example of Newton in the Principia and Opticks although in later years they incorporated other influences especially that of Boerhaave. Moreover he adopted from Keill and Desaguliers the notion of demonstrating to his classes the experimental proof of scientific principles accumulating an ever larger collection of apparatus as may be seen from successive editions of his Physics elementa mathematica experimentis confirmata. Sive introductio ad philosophiam Newtonianam Leiden 1720 1721. The scientific reputation of 'sGravesande is enshrined in this book which he constantly corrected and amplified in later editions. An 'official' English translation prepared by Desaguliers to whom copies of the Latin original were sent in haste was also issued in 1720 and 1721 and it passed through six editions. The booksellers Mears and Woodward printed a rival version under the name of John Keill. French translations appeared only in 1746 and 1747 but a critical review by L. B. Castel was published in the Memoires de Trevoux in May and October 1721. The book was at once welcomed by British and a number of German scholars." â€“ DSB V p. 510.

This treatise on optics was first published in English in 1704 the first Latin edition published in 1706. Sir Isaac Newton 1643-1727 was an English physicist mathematician astronomer alchemist philosopher and theologian. He is most well-known for his "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" published in 1687 laying the ground work for most classical mechanics. He built the first practical reflecting telescope and he developed a theory of color based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into many colors that form the visible light spectrum. He expanded on these theories in "Opticks". We find 20 libraries worldwide holding the book.

This edition contains the full array of 31 querries. / "Newton's contributions to the science of optics :: his discovery of the unequal refractions of rays of different color his theory of color and his investigations of 'Newton's rings' to mention only a few of the most noteworthy :: place him among the premier contributors to that science. . . . Today we recognize that his work on optics offers unique rewards in its exciting innovative conjunction of physical theory experimental investigation and mathematics and in the revealing glimpse that it provides of a crucial period in the evolution of experimental science." :: Alan E. Shapiro The Optical Papers of Isaac Newton: Volume 1 1984 p. xi. / Jean-Louis Daudet 1695-1756 who made the frontispiece and title vignette was an engraver and print publisher active in Lyon inherited business from his father Etienne Joseph Daudet. He flourished from 1722 till his death in 1756. Thereafter the business continued by his widow in association with his son-in-law Louis Martin Roch Joubert until 1773. / "Newton famously declared that it is not the business of science to make hypotheses. However it's well to remember that this position was formulated in the midst of a bitter dispute with Robert Hooke who had criticized Newton's writings on optics when they were first communicated to the Royal Society in the early 1670's. The essence of Newton's thesis was that white light is composed of a mixture of light of different elementary colors ranging across the visible spectrum which he had demonstrated by decomposing white light into its separate colors and then reassembling those components to produce white light again. However in his description of the phenomena of color Newton originally included some remarks about his corpuscular conception of light perhaps akin to the cogs and flywheels in terms of which James Maxwell was later to conceive of the phenomena of electromagnetism. Hooke interpreted the whole of Newton's optical work as an attempt to legitimize this corpuscular hypothesis and countered with various objections." / "Newton quickly realized his mistake in attaching his theory of colors to any particular hypothesis on the fundamental nature of light and immediately back-tracked arguing that his intent had been only to describe the observable phenomena without regard to any hypotheses as to the cause of the phenomena. Hooke and others continued to criticize Newton's theory of colors by arguing against the corpuscular hypothesis causing Newton to respond more and more angrily that he was making no hypothesis he was describing the way things are and not claiming to explain why they are. This was a bitter lesson for Newton and in addition to initiating a life-long feud with Hooke went a long way toward shaping Newton's rhetoric about what science should be. . ." / "The first edition of The Opticks 1704 contained only 16 queries but when the Latin edition was published in 1706 Newton was emboldened to add seven more which ultimately became Queries 25 through 31 when in the second English edition he added Queries 17 through 24. Of all these one of the most intriguing is Query 28 which begins with the rhetorical question "Are not all Hypotheses erroneous in which Light is supposed to consist of Pression or Motion propagated through a fluid medium" In this query Newton rejects the Cartesian idea of a material substance filling in and comprising the space between particles. Newton preferred an atomistic view believing that all substances were comprised of hard impenetrable particles moving and interacting via innate forces in an empty space as described further in Query 31." :: Newton's Cosmological Queries :: MathPages. / Grace K.

The Honeyman copy called a second edition has two title-pages and the Preface by Desaguliers with an imprint of 1719. There are also differences in the title-pages. The fiasco of the unauthorized edition is the cause of the various issue differences. "Perhaps Dawson hoped . . . to ingratiate himself with his patron but instead he incurred the wrath of the lecturer. Immediately Desaguliers became aware of the book which he called 'ill put together sadly transcrib'd and worse corrected' he approached the booksellers. He found that two-thirds of the imprint had already been sold by Messrs Mears Creake and Sackfield but they paid him ten guineas 'to pacifie me'. They also promised to insert into all remaining copies a preface that Desaguliers would write together with a substantial errata.

He then retells how Paul Dawson "took a copy of the lectures . . . that they may be service to him when he went thro' my courses and they were afterwards sold and published without my knowledge." He obtained a copy of the text and made numerous corrections :: thus the micro-print 1 Â½ page errata.

From Bull Run to Chancellorsville: The Story of the Sixteenth New York Infantry together with Personal Reminiscences.

1906122593New York & London: G. P. Putnam's Sons 1906. First edition of Union Major-General Newton Martin Curtis's memoirs; lengthily inscribed by him to American Civil War nursing pioneer Clara Barton. Octavo original cloth with gilt titles to the spine and front panel illustrated with four tissue-guarded engraved portraits including frontispiece of Major-General Curtis. Association copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "Presented to Miss Clara Barton in grateful appreciation of her careful supervision of hospitals and devoted attention to the disabled soldiers of the Civil War. Newton Marin Curtis Christmas 1906." The recipient Clara Barton took the lead in developing a program to care for soldiers wounded in the American Civil War. At the time of the inscription Barton had just resigned from her position as president of the American Red Cross and was working on her autobiography The Story of My Childhood which was published in 1907.

A Treatise of Fluxions

17422085Edinburgh: T.W. and T. Ruddimans 1742. First edition. Contemporary calf gilt. Fine. FIRST EDITION of MacLaurin's most important work including a strong defense of Isaac Newton and the first full presentation and development of Newton's calculus. The William Jones- Macclesfield copy. "Colin MacLaurin was a younger contemporary and to some extent a protÃ©gÃ© of Isaac Newton and he wrote the first thorough systematic axiomatic development of the method of fluxions the Newtonian version of the calculus. MacLaurin's magnum opus the Treatise of Fluxions published in 1742 was begun as a response to Berkeley's Analyst. MacLaurin founded the method of fluxions on a limit concept drawn from the method of exhaustions in classical geometry avoiding the use of infinitesimals infinite processes and actually infinite quantities and avoiding any shifting of the hypothesis. In addition he went on in this treatise of over 760 pages to demonstrate that the method so founded would support the entire received structure of fluxions and the calculus and could deal effectively with all of the challenge problems then being exchanged between British and continental mathematicians" Oxford National Biography. Provenance: Williams Jones the great mathematician and champion and publisher of Newton with his signed manuscript note on p. 621: "His collection of some 15000 books was considered to be the most valuable mathematical library in England and was bequeathed to George Parker the second earl of Macclesfield."
