Astronomiae Physicae & Geometricae Elementa. - [WITH THE FIRST PRINTING OF NEWTON'S ""LUNAE THEORIA"" AND THE FIRST UNVEILING OF NEWTON'S CALSSICAL SCHOLIA]
Oxoniae (Oxford), E Theatro Sheldoniano, 1702. Folio. Contemporary full calf, raised bands, rectangular blindtooled frames and central panel ""mirror"" on covers, Cambridge-style binding. leather at joints cracked, but cords intact so that covers not loose. Corners a bit bumped. Light wear to spine ends. Spine a bit rubbed. Pastedowns and flyleaves with browning. Title-page with large engraved vignette (Sheldon Theater). (12),494,(2) pp. With numerous textdiagrams. Very light browning to titlepage and a few marginal brownspots to last leaf, a fine clean copy, printed on good paper with wide margins.On the verso of the title-page is pasted the book plate of Sir William Baird of Newbaith. He habitually pasted his armorial bookplate on the verso of the title-pages of the books in his large and fine library.
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.""

"LEIBNITZ, GOTTFRIED WILHELM., JOHANN BERNOULLI, JACOB BERNOULLI & ISAAC NEWTON - SOLVING THE BRACHISTOCHRONE PROBLEM.

(1697)
Communicatio suae pariter, duarumque alienarum ad edendum sibi a Dn. Jo. Bernoulli, deinde a Dn Marchione Hospitalio communicatarum solutionum problematici curvae..descensus a Dn. Jo. Bernpulli....propositi solutione... (Leibniz). + Curvatura Radii in...
Leipzig, Grosse & Gleditsch, 1697. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Acta Eruditorum Anno MDCXCVII"", No V, May-issue. Pp. 193-240 (entire issue offered). With titlepage to the volume 1697. Leibniz: pp. 201-205. Johann Bernoulli: pp. 206-211. Jacob Bernoulli: pp. 211-214. Newton: pp. 223-224. As usual, some leaves with browning.
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.

Astronomie physique ou principes généraux de la nature, appliqués au mécanisme astronomique et comparés aux principes de la philosophie de M. Newton.
Paris, Jombert, 1740.
Première édition. Un ouvrage important dans l'histoire de l'introduction des théories de Newton en France. Il a été publié la même année que les "Institutions de physique" d'Emilie du Chatelet. En exposant la physique de Newton, Gamaches tente de concilier ces théories avec les tourbillons de Descartes. Etienne Simon de Gamaches (1672-1756) chanoine de Sainte-Croix de la Bretonnerie, était aussi un astronome membre de l'Académie des Sciences. Illustré par 22 planches hors-texte dépliantes et 10 vignettes et culs de lampe, gravés sur cuivre par Cochin. Petits manques aux coiffes. Bel exemplaire, frais. /// In-4 de (8), XLVIII, 362, (14) pp., 22 planches h.-t. Veau marbré, dos à nerfs orné, tranches rouges. (Reliure de l'époque.) //// First edition. An important book in the history of the introduction of Newton's theories in France. It was published the same year as the "Institutions de physique" of Emilie du Chatelet. "Gamaches gives here nine dissertations on the nature and laws of movement, the principles of the philosophy of Newton, the theory of planets, etc., and a clarification of relative movement and Newtonian attraction."

Printed on good paper, in general fine and clean internally.
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.

SUMO Helmut Newton, Celebrating 20 Years of Sumo. Auteur:
, Taschen Gmbh , 2025 Gebonden, in originele cellofaan verpakking, 464 pages, 43,4 x 31,9 x 11,1 cm . ISBN 9783836578196.
A tribute to one of the 20th century's most influential, intriguing and controversial photographers. SUMO established new standards for the art monograph genre, and secured a prominent place in photo-book history. This new edition, carefully revised by June Newton, is the fulfillment of an ambition conceived some years ago by Helmut Newton. He would surely be pleased that, a decade on from its first publication, SUMO now in a format that allows for a more democratic distribution?will reach the widest possible audience. However, proud owners of the new edition won?t wrestle with their copy of SUMO. It comes with a unique stand for displaying the book at home. SUMO was a titanic book in every respect: it broke records for weight, dimensions, and resale price. Helmut Newton (1920?2004) always demonstrated a healthy disdain for easy or predictable solutions. SUMO?a bold and unprecedented publishing venture?was an irresistible project. The idea of a spectacular compendium of images, a book with the dimensions of a private exhibition, reproduced to exceptional page size and to state-of-the-art origination and printing standards, emerged from an open, exploratory dialogue between photographer and publisher. With the physically commanding SUMO weighing in?boxed and shrink-wrapped?at 35.4 kilos, Newton created a landmark book that stood head and shoulders above anything previously attempted, both in terms of conceptual extravagance and technical specifications. Published in an edition of 10,000 signed and numbered copies, SUMO sold out soon after publication and quickly multiplied its value. This worldwide publishing sensation now features in numerous important collections around the world, including New York?s Museum of Modern Art. Legendary SUMO copy number one, autographed by over 100 of the book's featured celebrities, also broke the record for the most expensive book published in the 20th century,
Demonstration de Loix du Choc des Corps. (Piece qui a remporté le Prix de L'Academie Royale des Sciences, Proposé pour l'année mil sept cens vingt-quatre, selon Fonadation faite...).
Paris, Caude Jombert, 1724. 4to. Nice recent marbled boards in old style with titlelabel on frontcover. 24 pp. and one folded engraved plate. A few weak brownspots to margins. Otherwise fine and clean.
First edition of this extremely scarce work by the famous mathematician, solving an important problem in dynamics and extending Newton's work.""Despite the invention by Leibniz and Newton of the Calculus, the problem of mechanics of impact or percussion remained of centarl interest. The Royal Academy of Sciencesin Paris biannually qwarded a prize for the most outstanding paper"" in 1724 and 1726 the prizes were for papers on percussion. 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).

Cette édition revue par l'auteur est augmentée d'un 26e chapitre sur les flux et reflux. Elle est illustrée de 6 planches gravées hors-texte, de nombreuses figures gravées sur cuivre dans le texte, et d'un tableau dépliant. Cet ouvrage essentiel, introduisit véritablement la pensée de Newton en France. Voltaire découvre Newton lors de son séjour en Angleterre entre 1727 et 1729. A Cirey, où il installe un laboratoire, il se consacre à la physique et y rédige cet ouvrage. L'édition originale, publiée par Ledet en association avec Jacques Desbordes, fut imprimée sans l’autorisation de l’auteur qui avait décidé d’abandonner le projet suite au rejet de privilège en janvier 1738 et après maintes tracasseries. L'ouvrage avait paru avant que Voltaire eût envoyé la fin du 23e chap. et le 24e, dont le texte, fut rédigé par un mathématicien resté anonyme. (Bengesco, 1570, Tome II, p. 29).
