Full-Leather. Zustand: Fair. No Jacket. Twelfth Edition. Twelfth edition. Lacks front board and spine label, spine and boards rubbed with most of gilt decorations eroded, split along rear joint but text block holding together firmly. 1754 Full-Leather. xv, [1], 444, [12] pp. Full sheep, five raised spine bands. A discussion of Christian theology focusing on proving the existence and nature of God. The author, William Derham, was Canon of Windsor, Rector of Upminster in Essex, and F.R.S. He also had a deep interest in the natural sciences, and is best known for producing the earliest reasonably accurate measurement of the speed of sound (he used a large telescope and mathematical calculations to triangulate the sound produced by gunshots). Physico-Theology is a work on teleology, one of several by Derham, which were referenced by William Paley while formulating his famous watchmaker analogy. Derham's approach, though, is mainly scientific: he demonstrates the ways in which observable phenomena illustrate the presence of God. Among his observations recorded here are his recognition of natural variation within species and that he knew that Didelphis virginialis (the Virginia opossum) was the only marsupial in North America. It also includes one of the earliest theoretical descriptions of a marine chronometer, accompanied by a discussion of the use of vacuum seals to reduce inaccuracies in the operation of timepieces. He is the first person known to have used the word chronometer.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - William Derham's 'Physico-theology' is a profound 18th-century work, originally presented as a series of influential sermons, that meticulously argues for the existence and attributes of God through His works of creation. This seminal text, subtitled 'Or, a demonstration of the being and attributes of God, from His works of creation,' stands as a cornerstone of natural theology and physico-theology. Derham guides readers through an exhaustive exploration of the natural world, from the grand cosmic order to the intricate details of life on Earth, revealing what he saw as irrefutable evidence of divine design. His keen observations in pre-Linnean natural history are masterfully integrated with theological reasoning, making 'Physico-theology' an unparalleled example of Enlightenment thought on religion and science. This classic volume delves deep into God's attributes-wisdom, power, and benevolence-as illuminated by the observable universe. It is an essential read for those fascinated by early natural theology, 18th-century English sermons, and the historical interplay between scientific inquiry and religious belief. Derham's timeless exploration offers enduring insights into humanity's quest to understand the Creator through the wonders of creation itself.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations. Within the United States, you may freely copy and distribute this work, as no entity (individual or corporate) has a copyright on the body of the work.Scholars believe, and we concur, that this work is important enough to be preserved, reproduced, and made generally available to the public.

Here he argues for a plurality of worlds, contrasts the various theories of Astronomers coming down on the side of the Copernican,arquing that fixed Stars are suns and there that there are many more as yet undiscovered,that the planets are worlds, theorizing on their inhabitants, but also asserting the Huygens is wrong when he says that there is no water on the moon as he claims to have seen lunar seas. However he is at pains to show that the regular motions,the pull of gravity, their light and heat and many other attributes do not conflict with their being a God. Chapters on eclipses,Rings of Saturn, comets etc and in Book VIII and interesting discussion of the practical inferences by for example Aristotle, Seneca, Tully and other early astronomers. 1 volume.
