1656ref. 48279Lugduni Batavorum Leiden Leyde Leiden: Apud Johannem Elsevirium 1656. Fine. Apud Johannem Elsevirium Lugduni Batavorum Leiden Leyde Leiden 1656 17 x 22 cm relié New edition and first Elzevier after the original published at Dordrecht in 1643. Dedication to Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia. Title-page in red and black. Binding in full worn yellow temporary cardboard. Red morocco title-label. Rubbing exposing the cardboard at joints headcaps corners and edges. External edges and corners bumped Collection of poetry on marriage composed for the future wedding of Elizabeth of Bohemia. This queen then aged 25 had studied philosophy from her earliest youth - Descartes whom she had chosen as her master dedicated The Principles of Philosophy to her with this praise: ""The first and most learned of his disciples"" - and feared that her approaching nuptials would harm her studies. The work contains 14 poems in verse on marriage all in a rather satirical and comic vein the union of Adam and Eve polygamy. 9 by Caspar Barleus 4 by Boyus and one by Cats who undertook to produce the edition. This is followed by a section consisting of philosophical dialogues on the virtues of marriage and weddings. As a historical note Elizabeth's union was a failure and the Queen of Bohemia chose to end her days as an abbess in a Protestant monastery. The whole forms a quite remarkable curiosity.

Per Wikipedia Willem Jacob 'S Gravesande 1688 - 1742 Was A Dutch Lawyer And Natural Philosopher Chiefly Remembered For Developing Experimental Demonstrations Of The Laws Of Classical Mechanics. As Professor Of Mathematics Astronomy And Philosophy At Leiden University He Helped To Propagate Isaac Newton's Ideas In Continental Europe. In 1715 'S Gravesande Visited London As Part Of A Dutch Delegation Sent To Welcome The Hanoverian Succession In Great Britain. In London 'S Gravesande Met Both King George I And Isaac Newton And Was Elected A Fellow Of The Royal Society.In 1717 He Became Professor Of Mathematics And Astronomy In Leiden. From That Position He Was Instrumental In Introducing Newton's Work To The Netherlands. 'S Gravesande's Main Scientific Work Is Physices Elementa Mathematica Experimentis Confirmata Sive Introductio Ad Philosophiam Newtonianam "Mathematical Elements Of Natural Philosophy Confirmed By Experiments; Or An Introduction To Newtonian Philosophy" Published In Leiden In 1720. In That Book He Laid The Foundations For The Teaching Of Newtonian Mechanics Through Experimental Demonstrations. He Presented His Work Before Audiences That Included Voltaire And Albrecht Von Haller. The Book Was Soon Translated Into English By John Theophilus Desaguliers Curator Of Experiments For The Royal Society. In 1722 He Published The Results Of A Series Of Experiments In Which Brass Balls Were Dropped From Varying Heights Onto A Soft Clay Surface. He Found That A Ball With Twice The Speed Of Another Would Leave An Indentation Four Times As Deep From Which He Concluded That The Correct Expression For The "Live Force" Of A Body In Motion What Is Modernly Called Its "Kinetic Energy" Is Proportional To Its Mass And The Square Of Its Velocity.
