‎First edition of the first text book of astronomy based on Newtonian principles. Apart from its importance in the remodeling of astronomy in conformity with physical theory, the work is of the utmost importance as a source book - it contains the FIRST PRINTING OF NEWTON'S PAPER ON LUNAR THEORY (""Lunae Theoria Newtoniana"", pp. 332-336) as well as the FIRST EXPOSITION OF NEWTON'S CLASSICAL SCHOLIA, which Newton himself considered an important part of his philosophy.Gregory, a Scottish mathematician, who taught at Edinburgh and Oxford, was one of Newton's closest friends and associates. Newton thought highly of his work and communicated for insertion it in his Lunar Theory. He also permitted Gregory to use the material of that which is known as his ""Classical Scholia"", which are incorporated into Gregory's preface. ""Newtonian scholars have long been aware of a set of draft Scholia to Propositions IV to IX of Book III of the ""Principia"". These were composed in the 1690's, as part of an unimplemented plan for a second edition of the work. Since they describe supposed anticipation of Newton's doctrines in the thought of Greco-Roman antiquity, they have been known as the 'classical' Scholia..... Newton's thoughts on these matters were not, however, kept completely concealed. HE PERMITTED DAVID GREGORY TO USE THE MATERIAL EXTENSIVELY in a long historical preface to his ""Astronomiae Physicae & Geometricae Elementa"" (1702), IF WITHOUT ATTRIBUTION. (It was also available to Maclaurin for his much later work)."" (McGuire & Rattansi in ""Newton and the Pipes of Pan"", 1966).""It was the first textbook composed on gravitational principles, and remodeling astronomy in conformity with physical theory. Newton thought highly of it, and communicated for insertion in it (p. 332)) his 'lunar theory', long the guide of practical astronomers in determining the Moon's motions. The discussion in the preface, in which the doctrine of gravitation was brought into credit on the score of its antiquity, likewise emanated from Newton."" (DNB).""His thick folio text on foundations of astronomy, Astronomiae...elementa (1702) is a well-documented but unimaginative attempt to graft the gravitational synthesis propounded in the first book and especially the third book of Newton's Principia onto the findings of traditional astronomy. While respected as a source book it is now chiefly remembered for the remarks by Newton on the prisca sapientia of the ancients and their ""knowledge"" of the inverse-square law of universal gravitation and for the Latin version of Newton's short paper on lunar theory which it reproduces.""

‎First appearance of the famous issue of Acta Eruditorum in which the 4 solutions by the 4 most eminent mathematicians at the time, were printed together. There were in all 5 solutions to the posed problem, and Newton's solution was first printed in the Philosophical Transactions (January 1697) and reprinted here. The solution proposed by L'Hopital, not printed here, was not published until 1988.The brachistochrone problem was posed by Johann Bernoulli in Acta Eruditorum in June 1696. He introduced the problem as follows: ""I, Johann Bernoulli, address the most brilliant mathematicians in the world. Nothing is more attractive to intelligent people than an honest, challenging problem, whose possible solution will bestow fame and remain as a lasting monument. Following the example set by Pascal, Fermat, etc., I hope to gain the gratitude of the whole scientific community by placing before the finest mathematicians of our time a problem which will test their methods and the strength of their intellect. If someone communicates to me the solution of the proposed problem, I shall publicly declare him worthy of praise."" Johann Bernoulli and Leibniz deliberately tempted Newton with this problem. It is not surprising, given the dispute over the calculus, that Johann Bernoulli had included these words in his challenge:- ....""there are fewer who are likely to solve our excellent problems, aye, fewer even among the very mathematicians who boast that [they]... have wonderfully extended its bounds by means of the golden theorems which (they thought) were known to no one, but which in fact had long previously been published by others.""According to Newton's biographer Conduitt, he solved the problem in an evening after returning home from the Royal Mint. Newton: ... ""in the midst of the hurry of the great recoinage, did not come home till four (in the afternoon) from the Tower very much tired, but did not sleep till he had solved it, which was by four in the morning.""Newton send his solution to his friend Charles Montague and Montague published anonymously in the Transactions. Newton's solution, presented here in the Acta, is also anonymous. The episode did not please Newton, as he later wrote: ""I do not love to be dunned [pestered] and teased by foreigners about mathematical things ..."" After the competition Johann Bernoulli said "".... my elder brother made up the fourth of these (after Leibniz, himself and Newton), that the three great nations, Germany, England and France, each one of their own to unite with myself in such a beautiful search, all finding the same truth.""Struik (Edt.) ""A Source Book in Mathematics, 1200-1800, pp. 391 ff.‎

‎Paris E.P.A. Hachette 2005 Première édition donc (édition française). Une rétrospective du travail d'Helmut Newton, montrant son approche théâtrale et cinématographique du portrait. Le livre et la jaquette sont presque comme neufs, avec juste une petite manipulation. Aucune marque ou usure significative. Peut-être est-ce le fruit de notre imagination, mais la jaquette et les planches assorties semblent avoir un ton beaucoup plus sombre et doré que l'édition américaine. Bien que l'introduction et les autres textes soient en français, cela n'a guère d'importance, car ce livre est entièrement consacré à la photographie. Au sommaire : Motels - Mode printemps-été - Kinski révélé - Poupées vivantes - Garde prussienne - A votre service - Les anges - Jeunes et vieux - Les filles Newton - Vivre et manger - 10 questions - Loving ladies - Playmates par Helmut Newton - Désirs de demain - A votre beauté - Newton Physics - Postface. 176 pages. 310 x 240 mm‎

‎First Edition thus (French edition). A retrospective of Helmut Newton's work, showing his theatrical / cinematic approach to portraiture. The book and dust wrapper are both almost as new, with just a fractional handling. No significant marks or wear. Perhaps our imagination, but the dust wrapper and matching boards seem to have a much darker, golden tone than the US edition. Although the introduction and other text is in French - this hardly matters, as this book is all about the photography. Contents include Motels - Spring summer fashion - Kinski revealed - Living dolls - Prussian guard - At your service - The angels - Young and old - The Newton girls - Living and dining - 10 questions - Loving ladies - Playmates by Helmut Newton - Desires of tomorrow - To your beauty - Newton Physics - Afterword. 176 pages. 310 by 240mm (12Œ by 9œ inches). .‎

‎La Methode des Fluxions, et des Suites Infinies Par le Chevalier Newton. (Translated by G. Louis Le Clerc, ount de Buffon). - [THE CALCULUS - THE INFINITESIMAL METHOD]‎

‎Paris, De Bure, 1740. 4to. Contemporary half calf, raised bands, richly gilt spine and and red speckled edges. Leather title-label to spine. Corners neatly repaired. Title in red/black. (2), III-XXX, (2) Errata, 148 pp., many diagrams. The ""Preface"" and the first 18 leaves of the text with a foxing to lower margin and right corners. The ""Preface"" is an historical account of Newton's method ""la sublime méthode"", written by Buffon. Without the leaf ""Extrait des Registres"".‎

‎The influential first French edition of Newton's important work, which constitutes the most extensive description of the mathematical method he used in his famous ""Principia"", the method of infinitesimals, which was already written about 1671, but not published until 1736, i.e. posthumously, with the title ""Method of Fluxions and Infinite Series..."". In this work ""Newton stated clearly the fundamental problem of the calculus: the relation of quantities being given, to find the relation of the fluxions of these, and conversely. In conformity with this problem and the new notation, Newton then gave examples of his method....In this book Newton introduced his characteristic notation and conceptions. He regarded his variable quantities as generated by the continuous motion of points, lines and planes, rather than as aggregates of infinitesimal elements, the view which had appeared in ""De analysi""...The rate of generation Newton called a ""fluxion"", designating it by means of a letter with a dot over it, a ""pricked letter"", the quantity generates he called a ""fluent"".( Boyer, The History of the Calculus.).Colson (in his preface to the first edition from 1736) says: ""I gladly embraced the opportunity that was put into my hands, of publishing this posthumous work, because I found it had been composed with that view and design. And that my own Country-men might first enjoy the benefit of this publication, I resolved upon giving it an English translation, with some additional remarks of my own, I thought it highly injurious to the memory and reputation of the real Author, as well as invidious to the glory of our own Nation, that so curious and useful a piece should be any longer suppress'd and confined to a few private hands, which ought to be communicated to all the learned World for general Instruction.It was through the French translations of his works that Newton came to play the seminal role as the most important of mathematicians that he did in France, and particularly the years around 1740, when the present work appeared in French for the first time were seminal to the scientific development in France, where the likes of Voltaire had only just made the nation acquinted with the work of the great mathematician.

‎Scarce second Latin edition of Newton's ""Optics: or a Treatise of the Reflections, Refractions, Inflections, and Colours of Light. London 1704."", one of the great books in the history of science. ""Newton's Optics did for Light what his Principia had done for Gravitation, namely, placed it on a scientific basis."" (E.W. Brown). The translation was brought to light ""At the request of Newton, Dr. Samuel Clarke prepared a Latin edition of his Optics which appeared 1706, and he was generously presented by Sir Isaac with GBP 500, or GBP 100 for each of his five children, as a token of the appreciation and gratitude of the author. DeMoivre is said to have secured and taken charge of this translation, and to have spared neither time nor trouble in the task. Newton met him every evening at a coffe-house, and when they have finished their work he took De Moivre home with him to spend the evening in philosophical conversation.""(Brewster in his ""Newton"", 1855"").""In the accumulation of optical phenomena from his first paper (the short memoir in Philosophical Transaction, 1672) until the above book (the Optics,..) 33 years later, Newton had gathered explanations to many problems. The rainbow is fully explained and also ""Newton's rings"", produced by pressing the flat side of a plano-convex glass against a double convex lens of long focal lenght, producing rings of alternating brightness and darkness"" his explanation was not valid, as he did not know optical interference. He speculated on the double refraction of Icelandic spar...."" (Dibner in Heralds of Science No 148) - G.J. Gray No 180.‎

‎The Optical Papers of Isaac Newton: Volume 1, The Optical Lectures 1670-1672‎

‎ 1984 Cambridge University Press Hardcover Very Good 1st Edition ‎

‎Hardcover, Jacket: Very Good, 26 x 19 cm, 650 pp., English, 1st Edition, Illustrations, book condition: Very Good. The first volume of a three-volume complete edition of Newton's optical papers contains his Optical Lectures, delivered at Cambridge University between 1670 and 1672. The Lectures is Newton's first major scientific treatise, and consequently it represents a crucial link between his early years of discovery and his mature investigations and publications, such as the Optiks in 1704. It is divided into two parts: the first part devoted to color and the second to refraction. Originally published in 1984, this edition made available the complete text, together with translation and commentary, of both surviving versions of the Lectures, a draft and a vastly expanded revision. Until the time of publication, scholars had to depend on an uncritical text of the revision and an inadequate partial English translation, both published shortly after Newton's death. Professor Shapiro's critical edition has made a great contribution to the study of Newtonian science.‎

Colin Maclaurin, professor of mathematics at the University of Aberdeen, was awarded the prize in 1724 (forthe paper offered) over John Bernoulli...He expressed thet the interaction of forces on ciolliding bodies are equal in magnitude but opposed in direction (newton's third law) and used the physical construct of an elastic spring between the contact points in order to obtain changes in velocity during compression and restitution phases of collisions...""(W.J. Stronge in ""Impact Mechanics"").The Scottish mathematician Colin MacLaurin (1698-1746) is best known for developing and extending Newton's work in calculus, geometry and gravitation"" his 2-volume work ""Treatise of Fluxions"" (1742) was the first systematic exposition of Newton's methods. It is well known that MacLaurin was awarded prizes by the Royal Academy of Sciences, Paris, for his earlier work on the collision of bodies (the work offered here) and the tides (1740).‎

‎First printing of this controverial paper. ""In 1743 Clairaut read before the Academy a Paper entitled ""L’orbite de la lune dans le systeme de M. Newton,"" Newton was not fully aware of the movement of the moon’s apogee, and therefore the problem had to be reexamined in greater detail. However, Clairaut - and d’Alembert, and Euler, who were also working on this question - found only half of the observed movement in their calculations. It was then that Clairaut suggested completing Newton’s law of attraction by adding a term inversely proportional to the fourth power of the distance. This correction of the law elicited a spirited reaction from Buffon, who opposed this modification with metaphysical considerations on the simplicity of the laws of nature. Clairaut, more positive and more a pure mathematician, wanted to stick to calculations and observations. The controversy that arose between these two academicians appears in the Mémoires of the Academy for 1745 (published long afterward)."" (DSB).‎

‎PREMIÈRE ÉDITION FRANCAISE de cette histoire des premières grandes civilisations, à savoir celles des Grecs, Egyptiens, Assyriens, Babyloniens, Mèdes et Perses. L'édition originale, posthume, a été publiée à Londres la même année, et traduite de l'anglais en français par François Granet et Marthan. COMPLET des TROIS PLANCHES dépliantes gravées sur cuivre, représentant des plans du Temple de Salomon. Composé par Isaac NEWTON (1643-1727) pour son propre délassement, ce système chronologique a été publié à son insu par un certain Abbé Conti, à qui Newton en avait confié une copie. Il se trouva ainsi obligé, contre son intention, d'en donner une édition plus fidèle, mais il ne put que la préparer, la mort le surprenant avant sa publication. Pierre Daunou (1761-1740) a donné dans la "Biographie Universelle" de Michaud une longue note érudite à propos de cet ouvrage, note qu'il conclut en ces termes : «En perdant sa base astronomique, le système chronologique de Newton ne repose plus que sur des considérations relatives à l'histoire, à la durée des générations et des règles, aux progrès des sociétés, des arts et de l'idolâtrie. Quelques graves que soient ces observations, et quelque incertitude qu'elles puissent répandre sur la chronologie vulgaire, elles ne suffisent point assurément pour en établir une nouvelle. Mais ce système est un très grand fait dans l'histoire de la science chronologique ; et il sert au moins à confirmer ce qu'à dit Varron, que l'âge historique ne commence qu'à la première olympiade » (Tome XXX, pages 397 à 400). Exemplaire de Louis-Nicolas-Jean-Joachim de CAYROL (1775-1859), député de 1820 à 1822, commissaire des guerres sous la Révolution, puis commissaire ordonnateur et sous-intendant militaire. Grand bibliophile, il fut l'ami de Gérard de Nerval. BEL EXEMPLAIRE, conservé dans sa reliure de l'époque. NICE COPY. PICTURES AND MORE DETAILS ON REQUEST. ‎

‎"Né Helmut Neustaedter dans une famille de la bonne bourgeoisie juive de Berlin, Helmut Newton est d'abord un enfant gâté qui se moque des études et ne s'intéresse qu'au sexe – pour lequel il manifeste un intérêt précoce. Quand, à l'âge de douze ans, on lui offre sa première caméra, c'est le coup de foudre pour un art qui fera de lui une célébrité mondiale. Sa vie fut mouvementée mais toujours tournée vers un seul but : devenir photographe. Fuyant l'Allemagne en 1938, il se retrouvera gigolo à Singapour, puis prisonnier et enfin soldat en Australie, où sa carrière artistique, intimement associée à l'image du magazine Vogue, prendra son envol après la guerre... On reconnaît entre mille autres une photographie de Helmut Newton. Son vocabulaire artistique si singulier a fait de lui l'inventeur d'un style. Un style dont il nous livre ici les clefs. Sulfureuse et provocatrice, l'œuvre de Newton restitue la beauté, l'humour, l'érotisme et parfois même la violence qu'il observe dans les univers qu'il fréquente : la mode, le luxe, l'argent, la célébrité."

‎PHILOSOPHIAE NATURALIS PRINCIPIA MATHEMATICA.‎

‎Perpetuis Commentariis illustrata, communi studio PP. Thomae Le Seur & Francisci Jacquier. Typis Barrillot & Filii, Genevae, 1739-1742. In-8 gr. (mm. 265x209), 3 volumi, cartonato rustico coevo, titolo manoscritto al dorso, pp. XXXV,(1),548 (le pp. XXXIII-XXXV sono state posposte dopo la pag. 546); (8),422,(2). Il 3° vol. (con numeraz. continua) è così suddiviso: parte I - (8),XXVIII,1-374, 1 c.b. (pp. XXV-XXVIII posposte dopo la pag. 4) / parte II (introdotta da un occhietto con titolo: "Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica". Autore Isaaco Newtono .. Tomi tertii continuatio, continens Lunae theoriam newtonianam), 1 c.b., pp. V-VIII,375-703 (le pp. 511-514 posposte). Frontespizi stampati in rosso e nero con bella vignetta calcografica incisa da Jean Louis Daudet; nel testo centinaia di diagrammi inc. su legno. I volumi 1° e 2° sono completi di un occhietto, dal titolo: Newtoni Principia philosophiae, cum commentario perpetuo. Prima edizione con questi commenti. Lopera è suddivisa in tre libri, nei primi due tratta del moto dei corpi e dei mezzi di contrasto, quali aria e acqua; nel terzo libro, chiamato De mundi systemate, Newton espone la legge di gravitazione universale che agisce, secondo l'A. in ogni luogo e per ogni corpo. Nel terzo volume sono contenuti inoltre tre studi complementari sul fenomeno delle maree: Traité sur le flux et reflux de la mer di Daniel Bernoulli (p. 133) - De causa physica fluxus et refluxus maris di MacLaurin (p. 247) - Inquisitio physica in causam fluxus ac refluxus maris di Euler (p. 283).These three works gained the Prize given by the Royal Academy of Science in 1724 for resolving the Problem relating to the Motion of the Tides from the theory of gravity (così Gray, Bibliogr. of the works of Sir Isaac Newton, p. 11)Questa edizione monumentale è particolarmente stimata per lexcellent commentaire (come cita il Brunet,IV, 49) dei padri Le Seur et Jacquier e dimportanza capitale per la storia della diffusione delle teorie newtoniane in Europa. I due commentatori lhanno arricchita di note, citazioni e dimostrazioni così notevoli da farne ledizione di riferimento per tutto il XVIII secolo.Newton divide con Galileo il merito di aver posto, nella sua opera fondamentale "Principia mathematica" (1687), le basi della meccanica.. e a prescindere dal posto che occupano in tale storia, essi costituiscono unopera fondamentale dal punto di vista dellevoluzione del pensiero matematico, così Diz. Treccani,VIII. p. 331.Con uniformi ingialliture su tutti i volumi, ma complessivamente esemplare in buono stato, con barbe.‎
