‎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.""

‎Précieux exemplaire de la Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica de Newton (1643-1727) grand de marges, conservé dans son élégant vélin ivoire de l’époque au dos orné d’un décor doré à la grotesque. In-4 de (28), 484, (8) pp. Title printed in red and black and with engraved vignette, engraved folding plate of the cometary orbit facing p. 465 ; woodcut text diagrams throughout. Vélin ivoire, dos lisse orné d’un décor doré à la grotesque, tranches jaspées, rousseurs éparses. Reliure de l’époque. 245 x 198 mm. Newton, Isaac (1643-1727). Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica. Amstelodami (Amsterdam) Sumptibus Societatis, 1714. First Amsterdam reprint of the substantive second edition and « a fine example of bookmaking » (Macomber-Babson). Isaac Newton’s (1643-1727) “Principia Mathematica” is considered “the greatest work in the history of science. 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 ruled everywhere ; [… ] It was this grand conception that produced a general revolution in human thought, equaled perhaps only by that following Darwin’s “Origin of the Species” [… ] The second edition of “Principia” was not published until 1713” (“Printing and the Mind of Man” # 161). The second edition of Principia, here presented in a rare first Amsterdam reprint from 1714, was revised by Isaac Newton himself to improve its arguments. This was necessary partly because more than 20 years had passed since the first edition was published and new research had appeared, new comets had been found. Newton made constant revisions to the Principia which, during the long interim until the second edition, circulated only in manuscript. First published in Cambridge in the previous year, the second edition is the first to include the Scholium generale, and shows considerable additions, in particular to the chapters on lunar theory and the theory of comets. The German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) had published theories that were close to Newton’s own, which forced him to sharpen his arguments and therefore this edition was also provided with a long anti-Leibnizian preface by Newton’s editor Roger Cotes. “Newton’s masterwork was worked up and put into its final form in an incredibly short time. His strategy was to develop the subject of general dynamics from a mathematical point of view in book I, then to apply his most important results to solving astronomical and physical problems in book III. Book II, [… ] is almost independent, and appears extraneous. [… ] One of the most important consequences of Newton’s analysis is that it must be one and the same law of force that operates in the centrally directed acceleration of the planetary bodies (toward the sun) and of satellites (toward planets), and that controls the linear downward acceleration of freely falling bodies. This force of universal gravitation is also shown to be the cause of the tides, through the action of the sun and the moon on the seas”. (DSB). Faibles rousseurs éparses habituelles à cette édition mais fort bel exemplaire grand grand de marges conservé dans son très élégant vélin ivoire de L’époque au dos orné d’un décor doré à la grotesque.‎

‎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.)

‎Arithmetica Universalis.‎

‎“L’Arithmetica universalis” de Newton. Précieuse et rare seconde édition du grand texte de Newton sur le calcul différentiel, la dernière révisée par l’auteur. Exemplaire conservé dans sa reliure anglaise de l’époque. From the Earls of Macclesfield's "South Library" at Shirburn Castle. In-8 de (1) f., 332 pp. Veau marbré, double filet doré encadrant les plats, dos à nerfs orné de double filet et fleurons dorés, coupes décorées, tranches bleues. Reliure anglaise de l’époque. 201 X 122 mm. Newton, Isaac. Arithmetica Universalis: sive de compositione et resolutione arithmetica liber. Londini, Benj. & Sam Tooke, 1722. Exemplaire conservé dans sa reliure anglaise du temps. Provenance : Earls of Macclesfield's "South Library" at Shirburn Castle, shelfmark 180.C.30, avec ex-libris et cachet de bibliothèque. Précieuse et rare seconde édition de l’« Arithmétique universelle » de Newton, son ouvrage mathématique « le plus lu et publié » (Whiteside). C’est la dernière édition revue par l’auteur. Rare second edition of Newton’s “Universal arithmetic”, his "most often read and republished mathematical work" (Whiteside). It’s the last edition to be revised by Newton. Babson, 200; Wallis, 278. Revised by Newton himself, who already by September 1720 was "fort avance", this second edition of his Lucasian lectures incoporates up-to-the-minute revisions. The cancelled leaf U6, which in this copy has almost the air of being a page proof, is a vivid testimony to this (cf. Mathematical Papers V, p.469 note 686). The section by Halley which had been included in the 1707 edition edited by Whiston (see lot 1517) is here omitted. The running-titles throughout the 1707 edition which had so vexed Newton were simply Algebrae and Elementa on facing versos and rectos. In this edition the running-titles change according to the text up to p.75 and thereafter the versos have Resolutio Quaestionum and the rectos Arithmeticarum (to p.97), Resolutio Quaestionum Geometricarum (p.99-239), Aequationum Natura (pp.240-241), Aequationum and Natura on facing versos and rectos (pp.242-249), Aequationum Natura on p.250, and thereafter they change again in accordance with the text. The book is therefore much easier to find one's way around. In addition there is a greater use of italic in this edition. “L'importance des travaux de Newton n’a pas résidé seulement dans le fait d’avoir créé une base utilisable et logiquement satisfaisante pour la mécanique proprement dite (…) Ses principes fondamentaux étaient si satisfaisants au point de vue de la logique que les faits d’expérience durent donner l’impulsion vers un nouvel essor » (Albert Einstein).‎

‎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.‎

‎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,‎

‎London, printed for Benjamin Motte, 1729, in-8, 2 vol. in-8 : [38]-320 pp. 26 pl. + [2]-393-[13]-VIII-71-[1] pp. 25 pl, Reliure anglaise du temps, dos refaits, gardes renouvelées, Édition originale de la première traduction anglaise du mathématicien, écrivain et dessinateur Andrew Motte (1696-1734), publiée par son frère Benjamin. Elle est illustrée de frontispices dessinés et gravés par le traducteur, un pour chaque volume, ainsi que de quarante-neuf planches dépliantes en taille-douce. Le premier volume commence par la préface de Newton de la première édition, suivie d'extraits des deux éditions suivantes, ainsi que de la préface de Roger Cotes. Cette oeuvre maîtresse de la carrière de Newton a marqué un tournant dans l'étude de la physique. Elle était, selon Einstein, sans doute l'une des plus grandes avancées intellectuelles qu'un homme put faire ("Perhaps the greatest intellectual stride that it has ever been granted to any man to make"). Elle fut publiée avec le concours financier de John Machin qui en profita pour y insérer son Laws of the Moon's Motion, according to Gravity ainsi que son nom sur la page de titre. La traduction de Motte suit d'assez près l'édition originale latine. Il débute son oeuvre en 1727, quelques mois après la mort de Newton, probablement pour des questions d'autorisation. Newton étant une figure reconnue dans le monde scientifique, il eut été difficile de faire cette traduction sans son accord exprès. Cette traduction est toujours la référence, bien que révisée et modernisée, dans le monde anglo-saxon. Très beaux volumes, établis de manière uniforme.

Very rare collection of 9 articles in original first edition pertaining to the greatest 19th c. falsification in the history of science (astronomy). The world famous French mathematician Michel Chasles submitted false letters at the Academy which were to proof that the French scientist Pascal formulated Newton's law on the motion of celestial bodies 20 years earlier than Newton. When the fraud was finally disproofed they found at Chasles' house e.g. letters from Alexander the Great to Aristotle...all written in funny old French (sic). It remains inexplicable how one of the greatest mathematicians of the 19th c. could be taken in by this forger Vrain-Lucas who during a period of 8 years sold over 27.000 letters to Chasles.( P.S. Since I wrote this commentary we have had Corona and the Climate hoax).‎

‎Élémens de la philosophie de Neuton, mis à la portée de tout le monde‎

‎Amsterdam, Jacques Desbordes, 1738, in-8, [2]-399-[1] pp. 9 pl, , Édition originale, à l'adresse de Jacques Desbordes. Elle est illustrée d'un portrait de Voltaire, d'un portrait allégorique de Newton, 6 planches gravées, un tableau dépliant et de nombreuses vignettes dans le texte ainsi que de jolis bandeaux et culs-de-lampe. Dans ses Élémens, dédicacés à la Marquise du Châtelet, qui partage avec Voltaire la gloire d'avoir introduit, en France, les idées scientifiques et philosophiques de Newton et à qui l'on doit la première édition française des Principia, Voltaire présente Newton comme le découvreur du vrai système du monde et le destructeur des erreurs du cartésianisme. Il s'engage personnellement pour la propagation de newtonisme, dont il fit la découverte pendant son exil en Angleterre entre 1725-1728 : pour Voltaire, l'empirisme de Newton, sa méthode expérimentale et son refus de tout dogme symbolise la victoire des Lumières sur la métaphysique chrétienne (Voir Norman). Manques et épidermures, pâles mouillures, quelques rousseurs et taches. Norman 2165 ; DSB XIV, pages 82-85; Babson, 120. Couverture rigide‎

‎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. ‎
