"This edition was the last published during the author's lifetime and the basis of all subsequent editions. It was edited by Henry Pemberton M.D. F.R.S. and contains a new preface by Newton and a large number of alterations the most important being the scholium on fluxions in which Leibnitz had been mentioned by name. This had been considered an acknowledgement of Leibnitz's independent discovery of the calculus. In omitting Leibnitz's name in this edition Newton was criticized as taking advantage of an opponent whose death had prevented any reply" Babson p. 12. Third edition of "the greatest work in the history of science" Printing and the Mind of Man. In the Principia Newton formulated the three laws of motion from which he derived the principle of universal gravitation "wherein all bodies of whatever mass attract one another in proportion to their masses and in inverse ratio as the square of the distance between them. This applies to dust particles as to the mightiest celestial bodies" Dibner. "Copernicus Galileo and Kepler had certainly shown the way; but where they described the phenomena they observed Newton explained the underlying universal laws. The Principia 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.The same laws of gravitation and motion rule everywhere; for the first time a single mathematical law could explain the motion of objects on earth as well as the phenomena of the heavens. The whole cosmos is composed of inter-connecting parts influencing each other according to these laws. It was this grand conception that produced a general revolution in human thought equalled perhaps only by that following Darwin's Origin of Species" Printing and the Mind of Man 161 describing the first edition.

1790réf. 1230921790. First Edition. NEWTON John. The Christian Correspondent; or A Series of Religious Letters Written by The Rev. John NewtonÉ to Captain Alexr. Clunie From the Year 1761 to the Death of the Latter in 1770. Hull: Printed by George Prince 1790. Octavo modern half olive cloth black morocco spine labels. $1200.First edition of the collected 18th-century letters between John Newton a slaveship master and born-again Christian to Alexander Clunie a fellow slaveship captain and Newton's Christian mentor.The Rev. John Newton was born into a sailing family. His father was a shipmaster in the Mediterranean. While Newton's mother raised him as a Christian she died when he was just six years old. Newton spent a few years in boarding school before joining his father at sea. While Newton was slated to become a slave master at a Jamaican sugar plantation he was forced into naval service. After attempting to desert and surviving a brutal court marshal Newton went to work in the slave trade. While he found Christianity in 1748 after nearly dying in a storm at sea he remained an active slave shipmaster. ""In the summer of 1750 Newton began another slaving expedition this time as master of the Duke of ArgyleÉ Throughout this voyage and the next as master of the African Newton felt no scruples about slave trading seeing it as the work marked out for him by Providence though he admits to his horror at slavery's brutal accoutrements and his prayer that in God's own time he would receive a more humane calling one that would keep him in regular communion with other Christians perhaps a reflection of his new friendship with Alexander Clunie whom he met when the African called at St. Kitts. Clunie a fellow ship master and believer convinced Newton of the importance of the fellowship of believers and of his security in the covenant of grace. In 1790 their long-term friendship ultimately resulted in the publication of The Christian Correspondent a collection of letters they exchanged over the years"" mainly dealing with Christianity and family life Encyclopedia of Christian Literature 489. In the time between the writing and publication of these letters a great deal changed in Newton's life. Following a series of strokes in 1854 that forced him to leave the seafaring life Newton reconsidered his association with slavery. He acknowledged the damage that it wreaked on a person's humanity and began to view it as fundamentally opposed to Christian beliefs. In the final years of his life he became an ardent abolitionist. He wrote extensively on the subjectÑas he had on all subjects throughout his lifeÑand counted Wilberforce among his closest friends. ESTC T18631.

1930réf. 8972gcsBoston: Little Brown and Company 1930. Octavo green illustrated cloth hardcover xii 252 pp ads. Near-Fine with lightly bumped corners. From Loose Sallies of the Mind: Dr. Johnson has defined an essay as “a loose sally of the mind; an irregular indigested peice not a regular and orderly composition.” The applicability of this definition to the volume in hand will not be lost upon the reader. Further: the Lexicographer says something to the effect that a man in writing a book thinks that he may be able either to instruct or amuse mankind. Little instruction will be found herein and the amusement will I hope not cause the reader to laugh loud; loud laughter always annoys me: it betokens as Goldsmith said the vacant mind. Contents: Loose Sallies of the Mind; In Scandinavia; In PAris; House-Hunting in London; House-Hunting in the Country; In Dimpled Devonshire; In Egypt; In Jerusalem; in Rome; In Standardland.

First Edition in Russian of Newton's Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica 1687 made by Russian naval engineer and applied mathematician Aleksei Nikolaevich Krylov 1863-1945 who became internationally famous for his works on magnetic compasses ship floodability hydrodynamics and computational mathematics. He built the first machine in Russia for integrating ordinary differential equations and in 1931 published a paper on what is now called "Krylov subspace" dealing with computation of the characteristic polynomial coefficients of a given matrix. The first volume of Krylov's translation of the Principia unlike many Russian books of the period was printed on good-quality paper; the second volume however was printed on paper of lesser quality. The edition does not include information on the number of copies printed but it was likely a small edition.
