‎Voltaire Arouet Francois Marie‎

‎Elemens de la Philosophie de Neuton Elements of the Philosophy of Newton.‎

‎Londres Paris: Prault 1738. First French edition of one of the most elegantly illustrated science books ever printed and the book that introduced France to Newtonian physics; a scarce presentation copy inscribed by Voltaire. Octavo bound in full contemporary calf with gilt tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands red morocco spine label lettered in gilt gilt ruling to the panels inner dentelles all edges gilt marbled endpapers. Illustrated with two frontispiece portraits of both Newton and Voltaire six full page plates one folding plate and illustrations throughout the text. Presentation copy inscribed by Voltaire on the front free endpaper to William Cheselden one of the most influential surgeons of 18th century England who attended Newton in his final illness. Although it is unknown if Voltaire and Newton met Voltaire attended Newton's funeral in 1727 while living in exile in England. During this exile he became an adherent of Newtonian physics and philosophy which he saw as the embodiment of the Enlightenment victory over Christian dogma and as the destroyer of the errors of Cartesianism. Voltaire dedicated the work to his mistress La Madame la Marquise du Chastellet who was a fellow scholar of Newton and completed the first French translation of the Principia in 1759. From the library of Dr. Adrian Pollock. A graduate of the University of Cambridge Pollock was a leader in the field of non-destructive acoustic emission testing an approach to emission testing which addresses dynamic processes in materials by listening to the energy released by objects. He amassed a large book collection covering the history of science which he acquired throughout his travels between the United States and United Kingdom and from international catalogs. Newton was a particular favorite of Pollock's as the two scientists worked in the same field and shared an alma mater. In very good condition with light shelfwear. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Exceedingly rare surely one of the most significant examples of this work. One of the most influential thinkers of the French Enlightenment Francois-Marie Arouet know by the nom de plum Voltaire was a resourceful and prolific writer. His works touched nearly every literary form including plays poems novels theoretical essays and scientific treatises. A forthright and candid advocate of civil liberties he frequently criticized the institutions of religious dogma and classism prevalent in 18th century France often doing so through satire to avoid censorship and imprisonment. "With the publication of the 'Elemens' Voltaire committed himself entirely to the propagation of Newtonianism which he had first encountered during his exile in England from 1725-1728; to Voltaire Newton's empiricism experimental method and avoidance of dogma symbolized the Enlightenment's victorious assault on Christian theory and metaphysics" Hook/Norman. "Voltaire witnessed the beginnings of the scientific revolution brought about by the impact of Newton's work. and played a key role in spreading knowledge of Newton" Cambridge Companion 48. This work unites two of the greatest minds of the Enlightenment Newton and Voltaire whose "importance for the history of science lies particularly in his having composed. Elements." To many it established Voltaire as the "earliest exponent of the modern discipline of the history of science. One of the greatest compliments to Voltaire's work was its immediate translation and publication in England" the same year Aldridge Voltaire 109. While exiled in England in the 1720s Voltaire recognized the immense philosophical and scientific implications of Newton's genius and saw "that Newton had shifted reason onto a new plane" Silver Ascent of Science 55-6. "For Voltaire Newton's scientific approach was just as revolutionary as political liberalism. It asserted that scientific truth had to be derived from observation and measurement of the physical world and that theories about the material world should be based on these measurable observations" Oates Encyclopedia of World Scientists 135. Here Voltaire presents an extensive analysis of "Newton's work particularly the Opticks 1704 as well as his underlying philosophy of science" and his theory of gravity Schofield Leadership or Chaos ix. Before Voltaire "France was under the 'spell' of Descartes' system. Newton's system by contrast 'provided a trustworthy instrument for predicting the motions of the planets. and led to the general decline of the Cartesian system and its total replacement by that of Newton'" Barber cited in Shank Newton Wars 34. By 1750 "France had been converted from backward erroneous Cartesianism to modern Enlightened Newtonianism thanks to the heroic intellectual efforts of figures like Voltaire" Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Newton's principles had "a profound effect on Voltaire's thought. They encouraged him to beware of theories and hypotheses unsupported by observation and experimentation and his treatment of Bacon and Newton greatly helped to establish the preeminence of empirical philosophy in 18th-century French thought. Also Newton's laws of gravitation inspired in Voltaire an abiding awe of the majesty of the heavens. The earliest expression of Voltaire's mystical sense of cosmic awe occurs in the dedicatory poem of the Elements" Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Prault unknown‎

‎La Henriade avec des Variantes et des Notes. Et l’Effai sur le Poeme Epique.‎

‎London: Jacob Tonsen 1734. Finely bound example of Voltaire's epic poem La Henriade. Small octavo original leather gilt titles and tooling to the spine marbled endpapers. In good condition. Text in French. La Henriade is an epic poem written by the French Enlightenment writer and philosopher Voltaire. According to Voltaire himself the poem concerns and was written in honor of the life of Henry IV of France and is a celebration of his life. The ostensible subject is the siege of Paris in 1589 by Henry III in consort with Henry of Navarre soon to be Henry IV but its themes are the twin evils of religious fanaticism and civil discord. It also concerns the political state of France. Voltaire aimed to be the French Virgil outdoing the master by preserving Aristotelian unity of place--a property of classical tragedy rather than epic--by keeping the human action confined between Paris and Ivry.
