Beschreibung

Desirable and scarce second English edition of Newton's "Opticks," Newton's "other" masterpiece dealing with light, second only to his masterwork on mechanics, the "Principia." Contemporary paneled calf binding in very sound condition (nicely re-backed with leather spine label). Purchased from the bookseller, Jeff Weber, who verifies that this book was the personal copy of the former definitive Newton scholar and biographer ["Never at Rest"], Richard Westfall. Light uniform toning (as typical for this book) and light foxing to the title page and the first few pages of the advertisement which follows.The multiple engraved plates are uniformly clean. Nice, sound copy, overall. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 000019
