An internally sound and complete copy with all the cancel and errata leaves present. ---- ESTC s.v.; Norman 2240. - Book I: Third Impression Corrected and Enlarged. Book II: First edition. FIRST COMPLETE EDITION. 'ONE OF THE EARLIEST SIGNIFICANT WORKS OF POPULAR SCIENCE' Norman which comprises the third edition of Wilkins' The Discovery of a New World as part i and the first edition of A Discourse Concerning a New Planet as part ii. 'Wilkins's primary aim was to promote general knowledge and acceptance of the "new" science of Copernicus Galileo and Kepler and to wean his readers from an unquestioning dependence upon Aristotelian doctrine and literal biblical interpretation. In the first edition of the Discovery Wilkins had used Galileo's statement that the moon is a world similar to the earth as a foundation for more speculative hypotheses wondering if the moon might not support life what it inhabitants might be like and whether the moon's resemblance to the earth could be extended into a uniformitarian theory of the universe. In this edition Wilkins added a section inspired by Francis Godwin's Man in the Moone 1638 on the then-sensational idea of voyaging to the moon discussing the problems connected with this endeavor -- such as gravity and the nature and height of the atmosphere -- in terms of contemporary physical knowledge' Norman.
