The first American edition of the foundational physics text first published in Latin in 1687. Andrew Motte's 1729 translation was reprinted in 1803 and 1819 in Britain but subsequent 19th century editions were printed only in the United States and Germany. The New York-based publisher Daniel Adee deposited a copyright for the Principia in 1846 then printed five issues between 1848 and 1850. A contemporary notice in the Scientific American declared: "For a long time the 'Principia' was kept far out of the reach of the mere English Scholar as if Newton had written it exclusively for the classical student and philosopher. It was a scarce book when printed in the Latin language; it is now thanks to the spirit of an American publisher printed in our mother tongue and should find a place in every family library.

Second book with page 120 misnumbered as 112. A lovely copy of Newton's second major book on physical science considered one of the Scientific Revolution's three major works on optics. It overturned centuries of thinking attributed to Aristotle or Theophrastus and accepted by scholars in Newton's time that "pure" light such as the light attributed to the Sun is fundamentally white or colorless and is altered into color by mixture with darkness caused by interactions with matter. Here Newton shows the opposite was true: light is composed of different spectral hues he describes seven - red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet and all colors including white are formed by various mixtures of these hues. He demonstrates that color arises from a physical property of light - each hue is refracted at a characteristic angle by a prism or lens - but he clearly states that color is a sensation within the mind and not an inherent property of material objects or of light itself. Unlike his earlier work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica which took a more deductive approach Opticks is largely experimental and inductive. Newton's study includes detailed descriptions of his experiments with prisms and lenses leading to the conclusion that white light is composed of a spectrum of colors. The work also delves into the phenomena of diffraction and interference which were crucial to the development of wave theory in later years. The work is notable for containing Newton's first mathematical papers in print and for giving the first full explanation of the rainbow complete with related diagrams. Like Galileo Newton decided to publish this text in his native English rather than Latin the language of scholarship; an enlarged Latin edition would be published two years later. Printed for Sam.

A well-preserved and very substantial run of the Black Panther Party's official newspaper with the issues representing a large swath of the paper's content circulation and overall aesthetic. In terms of content Huey Newton was acknowledged as the chief theoretician of the Party and its newspaper though in terms of generating mass-appeal much of the credit goes to Emory Douglas: "Douglas's work on the Black Panther newspaper and for the party was fearless in content and style. He was the party's Revolutionary Artist graphic designer illustrator political cartoonist and the master craftsman of its visual identity. His distinctive illustrations styles cartooning skills and resourceful collage and image recycling made the paper as explosive visually as it was verbally.Part of Douglas's genius was that he used the visually seductive methods of advertising and subverted them into weapons of the revolution. His images served two purposes: to illustrate conditions that made revolution a reasonable response and to construct a visual mythology of power for people who felt powerless and victimized" Durant Sam ed. Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas pp.95-96. Contains an over-arching glimpse of the art layout production and content of the newspaper as well as the rise and fall of the Black Panther Party with issues ranging from the earliest days through 1980. Visually stunning and innovative in its design and layout they tell the story of the Black Panthers' struggle fighting racism and institutional violence and oppression. A key publication responsible for shaping African American revolutionary thought in the twentieth century; runs this extensive are very uncommon in commerce. The Black Panther Party unknown books
