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. Borthwick . . . of Downing College Cambridge. Publisher's quarter green cloth with paper-covered boards. Rebacked in sympathetic cloth and new paper label antique style applied.

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

Bernard Cohen & Anne Whitman. 2 volumes. Illustrated with hundreds of in-text diagrams. 4to black cloth d.w. A near fine copy but for a sloppily removed label on the inside front cover.<br/><br/> Third edition of Newton's masterpiece."The most influential scientific publication of the 17th century." -Horblit. "The Principia is generally described as the greatest work in the history of science. Copernicus Galileo and Kepler had certainly shown the way; but where they described the phenomena they observed Newton explained the underlying universal laws. The Principia provided the great synthesis of the cosmos proving finally its physical unity. Newton showed that the important and dramatic aspects of nature that were subject to the universal law of gravitation could be explained in mathematical terms within a single physical theory. It was this grand conception that produced a general revolution in human thought equalled perhaps only by that following Darwin's Origin of Species." -PMM.<br/><br/> Harvard University Press unknown books
