Very good (note: lacking pl. LIII). PHILADELPHIA OPHTHALMOLOGIST, ISAAC HAYS' COPY. Third edition, much expanded, of 'sGravedande's extensive experimentation and instruction in Newtonian physics. The experiments range from basics physics, to hydraulics, optics, electricity and astronomy. The entire work is profusely illustrated with folding engraved plates of the apparatus he used, including a steam-powered Hero's Engine (plate 78), generating static electricity (plate 79), the first magic lantern slide projector (plate 109), the prismatic effect of a rainbow (plate 120) and the known solar system (plate 122). 'sGravesande ". . . is the author of Elemens de physique demontrez mathematiquement . . . ou introduction a la philosophie Newtonienne which was translated from the Latin and published at Leyden in 1746. In the second volume, he gives a description of an electrical machine constructed on the plan of that of Hauksbee. It consisted merely of a crystal globe, which was mounted upon a copper stand, and against which was pressed the hand of the operator while it was made to revolve rapidly by means of a large wheel." [Mottelay]. Willem Jacob 'sGravesande was a Dutch philosopher and mathematician. Born in 's-Hertogenbosch, he studied law in Leiden, and wrote a thesis on suicide. In 1715 he visited London and King George I. He became a member of the Royal Society. In 1717 he became professor in physics and astronomy in Leiden, and introduced the works of his friend Newton in the Netherlands. He was opposed against fatalists like Hobbes and Spinoza. In 1724 Peter the Great offered him a job in Saint Petersburg, but Willem Jacob did not accept. His main work is Physices elementa mathematica, experimentis confirmata, sive introductio ad philosophiam Newtonianam or Mathematical Elements of Natural Philosophy, Confirm'd by Experiments (Leiden 1720), in which he laid the foundations for teaching physics. Voltaire and Albrecht von Haller were in his audience, Frederic the Great invited him in 1737 to come to Berlin. His chief contribution to physics involved an experiment in which brass balls were dropped with varying velocity onto a soft clay surface. His results were that a ball with twice the velocity of another would leave an indentation four times as deep, that three times the velocity yielded nine times the depth, and so on. He shared these results with Emilie du Chatelet, who subsequently corrected Newton's formula E = mv to E = mv2. The oldest magic lantern, as far as we know, is located in Leiden, the Netherlands, in the Museum Boerhaave. The projector was made about 1720 by the Dutch instrument maker Jan van Musschenbroek and was once the property of Willem Jacob 'sGravesande, professor of physics at the University of Leiden. After his death in 1742 the university bought with foresight his whole collection. The purchase price of the projection lantern was one hundred guilders. By this purchase the Leids Fysisch Kabinet (Physical Cabinet, Leiden) got the best and most complete collection of scientific instruments in the world. About 250 objects from this Cabinet, among them the magic lantern, have been preserved. Together they form one of the most important collections of the Museum Boerhaave.

PROVENANCE: Isaac Hays, MD (1796-1879), a prominent American ophthalmologist, naturalist, he was "A founding member of the American Medical Association, and the first president of the Philadelphia Ophthalmological Society, Hays published the first study of non-congenital colorblindness and the first case of astigmatism in America. He was editor or co-editor of The American Journal of the Medical Sciences for over 50 years."

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This foundational work in Newtonian physics was first published in the early 1700s and went through many editions and revisions. The book provides an introduction to the basic principles of physics, such as mechanics, optics, and thermodynamics, using mathematical notation and experimental evidence. The author, a Dutch physicist and teacher, was influential in popularizing the Newtonian system of physics in Europe. This work is still considered an important reference for physics students.

Although 's Gravesande was by no means the first semipupular exponent of Newtonian science and the experimental method, his 'Mathematical Elements of Physics' was easily the most influential book of its kind, at least before 1750 . The strength of his exposition was in his perfection of the method of justifying scientific truths either by self-evidence or by appeal to experimental verification, perfected by him through the design of many new instruments (DSB V, 510). - Bierens de Haan 1806; Sotheran 1627: "Last and best edition". - Unbeschnitten.

Verbeek, 1748, , 2 vol. in-4 en numérotation continue, soit ; [4]-LXXXII-[2]-572 pages et 62 planches + [1] f. de titre et pages 573 à 1073-[43], pl. n° 63 à 127, veau marbré, dos à nerfs orné, tranches rouges, 127 planches gravées sur cuivre représentant le matériel et les expériences réalisées par le physicien de Leyde qui introduisit la physique expérimentale dans son université. Quatrième édition de cet ouvrage publié pour la première fois en 1719-20. Gravesande (1688-1742) imagina un anneau métallique, qui depuis porte son nom, et qui montrait la dilatation volumétrique des solides. L'expérience consistait à prendre une boule passant au travers d'un anneau, puis à la chauffer pour constater qu'alors elle ne pouvait plus le traverser (p. 660). L'auteur a aussi perfectionné les machines pneumatiques. Dos refaits, coins restaurés, petites mouillures.
