1687réf. 3096London: Joseph Streater for the Royal Society 1687. FIRST EDITION. contemporary vellum. Very Good. EXCEEDINGLY RARE FIRST EDITION OF THE GREATEST WORK IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE. "The Principia is generally described as the greatest work in the history of science. 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. With him the separation of natural and supernatural of sublunar and superlunar worlds disappeared. 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. It was the final irrevocable break with a medieval conception based on Greek and Roman cosmology and a scholastic system derived from the medieval interpretation of Aristotle. Newton's universe almost independent of the spiritual order ushered in the age of rationalism scientific determinism and the acceptance of a mechanistic view of nature" Printing and the Mind of Man 161. On the history of the first edition: The first edition was financed almost entirely by Newton's friend the astronomer Edmund Halley and it is estimate that only about 300-400 copies were printed.

In the "Continental" issue as in this copy printed to be distributed throughout the rest of Europe the title page is a cancel and has a three-line publisher's imprint with the name of the bookseller Samuel Smith added.

1972réf. 550383New York: Random House 1972. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Introduction by Franz Schurmann. Near fine with the spine ends a touch bumped a few tiny spots and small subtle splash mark on the foredge in near fine dust jacket with the rear flap creased small chip at the bottom of the spine and some wear at the corners. Inscribed by Newton to Franz Schurmann who wrote the book's introduction: "To Franz all power to the people - from Huey - P.S. Thanks you for all your help - love you." Schurmann taught at the University of California Berkeley for nearly 40 years founded the Berkeley Faculty Peace Committee in 1964 and was an expert on China according to his The New York Times obituary which called his book Ideology and Organization in Communist China 1968 "one of the first significant accounts of life inside Mao’s China." In Schurmann's introduction he compares China's revolution to that of the Black Panthers who evolved from "a political weapon of self-defense by Black People" into a "growing party with a vision reaching out to the entire world . who want power identity and respect for their own race" typified by their leader Newton who is "no longer the Minister of Defense but the Servant of the People." An especially nice association in a book seldom found signed. Random House hardcover books
