First edition in English of the mathematical appendixes to <span class="match">Newton</span>'s fundamental 1704 Opticks one of the greatest works of science ever published. Translated from the Latin by James Bettenham Professor of Mathematics at the University of Aberdeen. Quarto bound in contemporary calf gilt titles to the spine burgundy morocco spine label rebacked woodcut diagrams throughout the text engraved tailpiece. In very good condition with some light wear and browning to the text with wide margined text. Exceptionally rare and desirable first editions are scarce with only four appearing at auction in the last 90 years. English mathematician astronomer theologian author and physicist Sir Isaac Newton is widely considered one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution. In one of his most important works Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica Newton formulated the the laws of motion and universal gravitation that formed the dominant scientific viewpoint until being superseded by the theory of relativity. Considered one of the greatest works of science ever published Newton's second major book Opticks analyzes the fundamental nature of light by means of the refraction of light with prisms and lenses the diffraction of light by closely spaced sheets of glass and the behavior of color mixtures with spectral lights or pigment powders.

Contemporary mottled calf raised bands gilt-stamped spines maroon & green spine labels; occasional browning. Ownership signature "Nolland avocat"auvcat. An excellent set. Very good . Second Jesuit edition emended and corrected based on the text of the third London edition of the Principia. This version is valued for its excellent annotations and copious commentary which is nearly the same length as the Principia itself. It contains Newton's Dedication to the Royal Society; Prefaces to the first second and third editions and Roger Cotes's Preface. In addition the Jesuits' edition of the Principia is prized for the inclusion of the important treatises on the theory of the tides: Daniel Bernoulli's Traite sur le Flux et Reflux de la Mer Colin MacLaurin's De Causa Physica Fluxus et Refluxus Maris and Leonardo Euler's Inquisitio Physica in causam Fluxus ac Refluxus Maris. These three works gained the prize given by the Royal Academy of Sciences in 1724 for resolving tidal problems relating to the theory of gravity. They represent the most significant discovery concerning tidal mechanics between the publication of the Principia and the discoveries of Laplace. REFERENCES: Babson 31; Gray 14; Wallis 14.
