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 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.

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 protégé 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."

17066324London: Samuel Smith & Benjamin Walford 1706. First Latin edition. Very Good/The Latin edition of Newton's 1704 Opticks was intended for the broader pan-European "Republic of Letters" and it was the first printing to carry Newton's name on the title. This is the edition that inspired Emelie du Chatelet and Voltaire and through them the whole of Europe. It is a compendium of Newton's main discoveries concerning light and color including the spectrum of sunlight the color circle the reflecting telescope and interference effects that is the so-called 'Newton's rings'. In expansion of the 1704 English text the Latin edition presents seven added "Quaestiones" which are partly devoted to Newton's support for the "corpuscular" or particle theory of light. The collation of this copy corresponds to the copy in the Babson Collection catalogue with "Pp" consisting of a single leaf and with pages 21-24 repeated in the Tractatus. .
