Newton published this edited and revised edition of the German Bernhardus Varenius' 1622-1650 textbook on the mathematics of geography and navigation for his students at Cambridge in 1672 making this Newton's first publication mere months before the publication of the Opticks. While the English editions were much reprinted in Cambridge and then London this first German edition is scarce outside of continental Europe. Published while Newton was Luasian Professor of Mathematics of Cambridge 1669-1702 Newton's version became the standard text on the subject for over a century. This edition reproduces Newton's Latin text with copies of the plates seen in the earlier Elsevier edition of 1650. While Newton's works were read and received within Germany from their first publication this is the first of his works published in Germany. USTC 2647283. VD17 39:115486D.

These provided the great synthesis of the cosmos, proving finally its physical unity. Newton showed that the important and dramatic aspects of nature that were subject to the universal law of gravitation could be explained, in mathematical terms, within a single physical theory. With him the separation of natural and supernatural, of sublunar and superlunar worlds disappeared". PMM, 161. Couverture rigide

Newton 1816-1894 achieved the great archaeological exploit of his life by the discovery of the remains of the mausoleum one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The results were described by Newton in his History of Discoveries at Halicarnassus 1862-1863 written in conjunction with R. P. Pullan and in his Travels and Discoveries in the Levant 1865. These works included particulars of other important discoveries especially at Branchidae where he disinterred the statues which had anciently lined the Sacred Way and at Cnidos where Pullan acting under his direction found the Lion of Knidos now in the British Museum. In 1860 he was named consul at Rome but was the following year recalled to take up the newly created post of keeper of Greek and Roman antiquities at the British Museum. from Wikipedia.

The discovery of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world First edition of this account of excavations at Mitylene Rhodes Kalymnos and various sites on the coast of Asia Minor. This includes the discovery of the ancient city of Halicarnassus and its famous mausoleum recounted in detail in the second volume. Following graduation from Oxford "Newton entered the British Museum in 1840 as assistant in the department of antiquities under Edward Hawkins. Here he took advantage of the opportunity to study a wide range of antiquities firsthand including coins and acquired a thorough training in curatorship. In 1852 Newton resigned from the British Museum on appointment as vice-consul at Mytilene. From April 1853 to January 1854 he served as acting consul at Rhodes. In addition to consular duties he was authorised to serve the interests of the museum by acquiring antiquities through excavation and purchase. His excavations on Kalymnos in 1854 and 1855 financed by Lord Stratford de Redcliffe the British ambassador at Constantinople yielded many inscriptions for the British Museum. Also in 1855 he unearthed the bronze serpent from Delphi in the hippodrome at Constantinople and visited Bodrum ancient Halicarnassus for the first time. After a second visit in the following spring he obtained a government grant of £2000 together with naval and military support for an expedition to retrieve some lions from the mausoleum immured in the castle of St Peter and to excavate the site of the mausoleum itself" ODNB. Newton became the first keeper of Greek and Roman Antiquities in 1861. He was closely involved in the foundation of three highly influential archaeological institutions: the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies to which he gave an inaugural address in June 1879; the Egypt Exploration Fund founded in 1882; and the British School at Athens opened in November 1886.
