Front pastedown with neat pencilled signature of M. Slocum Pasadena. Dreyfus 65. ◆A touch of browning to untrimmed edges otherwise a very fine copy virtually unchanged from the day it was issued. Described by press founder Francis Meynell as "a little peach of a book" this discussion on the heliocentric universe was one of the significant works of the Enlightenment. First published in 1686 it takes the form of a conversation between a philosopher and a marquise on scientific theories about the cosmos and it was credited for stimulating public interest in astronomy. The playful astrological ornaments and colorful stencils make this fine translation especially charming. Nonesuch Press unknown

A beautifully produced work by the famous high quality private press Nonesuch Press in England established in 1923. This work was first published in 1686 notable because it is one of the first to attempt to explain scientific theories in popular mainstream language. The story is a series of conversations between a philosopher and a marquise who walk in marquise's garden at night gaze at the stars and discuss key issues such as the possibility of life on other planets or stars. The dialogues were more influential than any other work in securing acceptance of the Copernican system still far from commanding universal support in 1686. A highly collectible rare book.
