A System of Experimental Philosophy Prov'd by Mechanicks wherein the principles and laws of Physicks Mechanicks Hydrostaticks and Opticks are demonstrated and explained at large by a great number of curious experiments. . .

Inscription on recto of front blank verso is ad for Boerhaave book "W. --- 1720 Power." SPURIOUS EDITION OF DESAGULIERS' FAMOUS PRIVATE LECTURES CONTAINING NOTES ON BOYLE'S AIR PUMP AND NEWTON ON COLOR THEORY. FIRST ENLARGED EDITION early issue without "All carefully Examined and Corrected by Mr. Desaguliers" on title which otherwise is re-titled "Lectures of Experimental Philosophy". Includes: Sir Isaac Newton's Colours. Proposition. Lights which differ in Colour differ also in Degrees of Refrangibility. Initially published without the author's permission and then by evidence of the printed Preface agreed to issue the book with an erratum. / There are multiple forms of this edition as different copies collate differently Andrade Kenney Honeyman copies. 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. The preface follows the Dawson dedication in some copies of the book entitled A System of Experimental Philosophy but precedes it in another version called Lectures in Experimental Philosophy." See: Carpenter pp. 34-5 119. / Contents: Mechanical experiments Mechanical powers & definitions; How to make a heavy Body seem to rise it self; gravity balance leaver pulley wheel axle wedge screw laws of nature hydrostatics; Description of Robert Boyle's Air-Pump uses & experiments; How to make an air vacuum; Barometers Thermometers Hydrometers; Catoptrichs; Dioptrichs; Sir Isaac Newton's Colours; Condensing Engine; "Rowley's Horary being a machine to represent the Motion of the Moon about the Earth and the Earth Venus and Mercury about the Sun." / The preface written by Desaguliers himself explains that this volume of lectures was released "before I designed to publish them." 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. The he invites the owner to annotate the book throughout "before he begins to read the lectures." And indeed the owner named Powers did annotate this copy :: clear evidence he read that Preface. A2-3. / The DNB asserts that Desaguliers "held in great esteem by Sir Isaac Newton" "is said to have been the first to deliver learned lectures to general audiences. Lectures by him at his London house were widely attended and were made attractive by experiments." In addition it mentions that Paul Dawson was responsible for the work and that Desaguliers himself "disavowed" himself of the edition. :: DNB pp. 850-1. / Nicholas A Hans describes the types of persons attending Desaguliers' lectures: "merchants craftsmen and clerks and his private audiences consisted of gentlemen and courtiers and included ladies as well." :: Nicholas A Hans New Trends in Education in the Eighteenth Century 1951 p. 141. / Westfall says of Desaguliers he "became a fixture at the meetings of the Royal Society where he carried out sets of experiments intimately related to various aspects of Newtonian natural philosophy. Some of his experiments such as the transmission of heat through a vacuum influenced Newton's views and other found their way into the third edition of the Principia." :: Never at Rest pp. 685-6. / Writing for the DSB A. Rupert Hall points out that Desaguliers did not produce his own version of these lectures until 1734 "when he took occasion to denounce this unauthorized version. . ." :: DSB IV pp. 43-6. / John Theophilus Desaguliers 1683-1744 born at La Rochelle emigrated to England in 1685 as a Huguenot refugee hidden in a tub at 2-years of age studied at Oxford he became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1714. As the Society's experimenter and a close friend of Newton he often verified Newton's theories through experimentation. "In 1717 he published Physico-Mechanical Lectures an eighty-page abstract of the twenty-two lectures of his course. Although not authorized by Desaguliers the present work is the first full account of his lectures edited by his student Paul Dawson. Primarily of interest as a textbook of Newtonian physics many chemical topics are included. The first issue appeared with the title A System of Experimental Philosophy." / REFERENCES: Bakken title: "Lectures of experimental philosophy . . . 1719" pp. 52-3; Goodison English Barometers 1680-1860 p. 369; Keynes Boyle 366 pp. 122-9; Roy G.
