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 ½ 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.

‎Lausannae & Geneva: Marci-Michaelis Bousquet & Sociorum 1740. 1740. 4to. iv xxxii 363 1 pp. Half-title engraved frontispiece portrait of Newton engr. Jean-Louis Daudet after Vanderbank 12 engraved folding plates title vignette of 4 cherubs and a female figure each using an optical instrument representing learning optics/perspective drawn by Delamoncein and engraved by Daudet head & tail pieces and woodcut initial letters drawn by Papillon index; first 11 leaves browned. Contemporary full vellum green leather gilt-stamped spine label edges with decorative red freckling as designed by the binder; foot of spine with faint ink marking "11-". Paper unevenly browned. Verso of title with small ink annotation "=1135="; rear pastedown with another notation "á 20.Luglio 1801." Very good. Third Latin edition edited by Bousquet with a dedication to Joannes Bernoulli. This edition contains the full array of 31 querries. / "Newton's contributions to the science of optics :: his discovery of the unequal refractions of rays of different color his theory of color and his investigations of 'Newton's rings' to mention only a few of the most noteworthy :: place him among the premier contributors to that science. . . . Today we recognize that his work on optics offers unique rewards in its exciting innovative conjunction of physical theory experimental investigation and mathematics and in the revealing glimpse that it provides of a crucial period in the evolution of experimental science." :: Alan E. Shapiro The Optical Papers of Isaac Newton: Volume 1 1984 p. xi. / Jean-Louis Daudet 1695-1756 who made the frontispiece and title vignette was an engraver and print publisher active in Lyon inherited business from his father Etienne Joseph Daudet. He flourished from 1722 till his death in 1756. Thereafter the business continued by his widow in association with his son-in-law Louis Martin Roch Joubert until 1773. / "Newton famously declared that it is not the business of science to make hypotheses. However it's well to remember that this position was formulated in the midst of a bitter dispute with Robert Hooke who had criticized Newton's writings on optics when they were first communicated to the Royal Society in the early 1670's. The essence of Newton's thesis was that white light is composed of a mixture of light of different elementary colors ranging across the visible spectrum which he had demonstrated by decomposing white light into its separate colors and then reassembling those components to produce white light again. However in his description of the phenomena of color Newton originally included some remarks about his corpuscular conception of light perhaps akin to the cogs and flywheels in terms of which James Maxwell was later to conceive of the phenomena of electromagnetism. Hooke interpreted the whole of Newton's optical work as an attempt to legitimize this corpuscular hypothesis and countered with various objections." / "Newton quickly realized his mistake in attaching his theory of colors to any particular hypothesis on the fundamental nature of light and immediately back-tracked arguing that his intent had been only to describe the observable phenomena without regard to any hypotheses as to the cause of the phenomena. Hooke and others continued to criticize Newton's theory of colors by arguing against the corpuscular hypothesis causing Newton to respond more and more angrily that he was making no hypothesis he was describing the way things are and not claiming to explain why they are. This was a bitter lesson for Newton and in addition to initiating a life-long feud with Hooke went a long way toward shaping Newton's rhetoric about what science should be. . ." / "The first edition of The Opticks 1704 contained only 16 queries but when the Latin edition was published in 1706 Newton was emboldened to add seven more which ultimately became Queries 25 through 31 when in the second English edition he added Queries 17 through 24. Of all these one of the most intriguing is Query 28 which begins with the rhetorical question "Are not all Hypotheses erroneous in which Light is supposed to consist of Pression or Motion propagated through a fluid medium" In this query Newton rejects the Cartesian idea of a material substance filling in and comprising the space between particles. Newton preferred an atomistic view believing that all substances were comprised of hard impenetrable particles moving and interacting via innate forces in an empty space as described further in Query 31." :: Newton's Cosmological Queries :: MathPages. / Grace K.
