1738Best.-Nr. 103385Amsterdam, Étienne Ledet & compagnie, 1738, in-8, [4]-XII-[2]-410-[6] pp.8 pl, Veau marbré havane, filet à froid en encadrement sur les plats, dos à nerfs orné de caissons dorés, tranches rouges, Édition originale de ce traité. Il est illustré de 8 planches hors-texte (dont un tableau des couleurs et des tons de la musique) et de nombreuses vignettes dans le texte ainsi que de jolis bandeaux et culs-de-lampe. Dans ses Élémens dédiés à la Marquise du Châtelet, qui partage avec Voltaire la gloire d'avoir introduit, en France, les idées scientifiques et philosophiques de Newton et à qui l'on doit la première édition française des Principia, Voltaire présente Newton comme le découvreur du vrai système du monde et le destructeur des erreurs du cartésianisme. Il s'engage personnellement pour la propagation de newtonisme, dont il fit la découverte pendant son exil en Angleterre entre 1725-1728 : pour Voltaire, l'empirisme de Newton, sa méthode expérimentale et son refus de tout dogme symbolise la victoire des Lumières sur la métaphysique chrétienne (Voir Norman). Complet du chapitre additionnel Du flux et reflux, l'Avertissement des libraires et des Éclaircissemens nécéssaires donnés par l'auteur pour servir de préface. Déchirure avec atteinte au f. R2 (sans dommage pour la lecture), petits manques et épidermures, restaurations à la reliure, dos gauchi, sans le portrait de Voltaire. Bel état intérieur.

1867Best.-Nr. 5032England 1867. Full sheep embossed in blind with gilt to front board measuring 200 x 160mm and comprised of 155 manuscript pages. A gift inscription to the front pastedown reads "Frances Phoebe Newton A Present from her Mother Mrs. A. Morley. July 31st 1841." On the first page Phoebe has created a formal title page: "Phoebe Newton's Album. July 31st 1841." A dense and research-rich piece in which a young woman documents her reading from a variety of sources including collections of poetry popular magazines and circulars church sermons and oral stories within her community. Potential projects include but are not limited to Victorian reading practices women's reading the intersection of popular and evangelical literatures genealogy and paleaography. Within her commonplace book Phoebe gravitates toward poetry and short anecdotes in which the narrating voice calmly uses rhetoric and logic to undermine non-believers or convert doubters. Her faith is the underlying basis for each selection -- even when celebrating a royal marriage or waxing on Queen Victoria's leadership. Early selections such as Doctor Watts and Collins the Freethinker focus on how Christians unshaken in their faith can lead by calm example responding to criticism or even outright scorn by gesturing to the value of their interior relationship to God rather than to any external possessions. Doctor Watts for example responds to a coffeehouse stranger's "contempt at his diminutive appearance" with a short verse concluding "I must be measured by my soul -- The mind's the standard of the man." Similarly Collins the Freethinker "once met a plain countryman going to church" and attempted to confound him by asking about God's size. The countryman's participation in the dialogue -- and his embrace of contradiction -- impress and convert the Freethinker. "He is so great that the heaven of heaven cannot contain Him; and so little that He can dwell in my heart." In this sense Phoebe reveals in addition to her evangelical beliefs an attraction to literary realism. Rather than gravitating to soaring sentimentalism and romance the works gathered here often rely on dialogue and daily settings presenting a realistic world with idealized social outcomes. Phoebe's selections come from a variety of sources which speaks to the array of material she had contact with. Some uncredited pieces appear to be stories from sermons or overheard among family. Many include Victorian writers such as Cowper and Toplady. Still others come from popular regional magazines such as the Norfolk Chronicle and the Gospel Standard. More work could be done to identify where she and her family resided and what schooling she had access to. Additional work could be done on at least one other hand in the book several times signed John Newton and potentially her husband given that her mother Mrs. Morley gifts her the book under the name Newton. unknown books

Newton 1642–1727 natural philosopher and mathematician had been elected a fellow of Trinity College Cambridge in 1667 and Lucastrian professor of mathematics in 1669. Those positions combined with income from his estate made him both financially secure and almost free from prescribed duties. His great researches on optics were the first fruits of that freedom. However at the same time he became an earnest student of both alchemy and of theology. His surviving manuscripts show that in the latter field he reached firstly an anti-Trinitarian or Arian position which developed into an even more radical position which saw Jesus as merely the latest of a series of prophets sent by God to reclaim mankind from false gods a position Newton developed in the 1680s in the unpublished manuscript of "his most important theological composition 'Theologiae gentilis origines philosophicae' 'The philosophical origins of gentile theology'" O.D.N.B. Such opinions were completely unacceptable to contemporary society and Newton realising that they would have undermined his position kept them a closely guarded secret but in later life he revisited the treatise and "thoroughly purged it became his 'Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended' 1728. The original treatise he kept to himself . When he died his heirs found the completed manuscript of the Chronology which they immediately sold to a publisher for £350" O.D.N.B. and the book was published shortly thereafter. The book was distributed in Dublin by Smith and Bruce. John Smith an Ulster Presbyterian whose radical activities had led to his expulsion from Glasgow University in 1722 came to Dublin in 1724 where with the sympathetically minded William Smith and later William Bruce he established a book-selling business. They were notable for their intellectual and continental connections they were cousins of the philosopher Francis Hutcheson and their publication of works challenging conventional opinions. E. Hudson is probably Edward Hudson 1703 ca. - 1757 of Ardee Co. Louth who having entered Trinity College in 1722 aged 19 became a Fellow in 1728 the year of publication of this book. He was later Rector of Omagh. The signature on the title page may be that of Rev. George Thomas Payne 1819-1888 of Kilkenny who had entered T.C.D. in 1833. Printed for J. Tonson, J. Osborn, and T. Longman; and sold by Messieurs Smith and Bruce Booksellers on the Blind Key in Dublin hardcover

1815In-8°, VIII, pp. 224,1 tavola ripiegata fuori testo. Rilegatura in mezza pelle con nervi e titolo al dorso. Prima edizione non comune, stampata a Clermont-Ferrand, di questa curiosa confutazione delle tesi di Newton composta da un pensatore dell'Alvernia di cui non sappiamo quasi nulla. È la prima opera dell'autore, alla quale dobbiamo anche in particolare una confutazione del saggio materialista "Della mente" di Helvetius e un “Trattato sulle molecole grezze”. In-8 °, VIII, pp. 224,1 folded leaf out of text. Half leather binding with bands and title on the spine. Uncommon first edition, printed in Clermont-Ferrand, of this curious refutation of Newton's theses composed by a thinker of Auvergne of whom we know almost nothing. It is the author's first work, to whom we also owe in particular a refutation of the materialistic essay "Of the mind" by Helvetius and a "Treatise on raw molecules".
