Hardcover. Zustand: Like New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good+. facsimile of the Third Edition (1726). Two volumes. 916pp. Black Boards, Silver lettering. Except for a lower bumped corner on Volume 2, this is a fine, unmarked set of a facsimile of the Third Edition(1726) with variant readings. Diagrams throughout. Text is in Latin with a bibliography in English. Unclipped green, ruled jacket has creasing to the upper extremities of Volume one. Of great importance in the history of mathematics and philosophy, Principia Mathematica sparked interest in symbolic logic and advanced the subject by popularizing it; it showcased the powers and capacities of symbolic logic; and it showed how advances in philosophy of mathematics and symbolic logic could go hand-in-hand with tremendous fruitfulness. This is a photrographic reprint of the Third edition, which allows the reader to see all the changes that Newton introduced and to determne exactly how the last and definitive edition, published a few months before Newton's death, grew from earlier versions. Size: 8 1/2" x 11 1/4".

First edition of Godel's classic work. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket, small name to the title page. Translated by B. Meltzer. Introduction by R.B. Braithwaite. Uncommon in the original dust jacket. In 1931, a young Austrian mathematician published an epoch-making paper containing one of the most revolutionary ideas in logic since Aristotle. Kurt Giidel maintained, and offered detailed proof, that in any arithmetic system, even in elementary parts of arithmetic, there are propositions which cannot be proved or disproved within the system. It is thus uncertain that the basic axioms of arithmetic will not give rise to contradictions. The repercussions of this discovery are still being felt and debated in 20th-century mathematics. The present volume reprints the first English translation of Giidel's far-reaching work. Not only does it make the argument more intelligible, but the introduction contributed by Professor R. B. Braithwaite (Cambridge University}, an excellent work of scholarship in its own right, illuminates it by paraphrasing the major part of the argument.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Harvard University Press edition. 2 vol. Folio. [4], v-xl, [2], 1-547, [3]; [7], 548-916 pp. Black cloth with silver lettering on the spine. Illustrated with a facsimile frontispiece portrait of Isaac Newton, taken from the 1726 edition of Newton's Principia. Also illustrated with 67 in-text diagrams, from the original editions. Facsimile half-title, title, and text pages as well, all taken from the first three published editions of Newton's Principia. Assembled and edited by Alexandre Koyré and I. Bernard Cohen with the assistance of Anne Whitman. Pressler, Printing in the Mind of Man (PMM) 96. According to PMM, "The Principia is generally described as the greatest work in the history of science . [providing] the great synthesis of the cosmos, proving finally its physical unity". Newton's work provided the last blow to the Aristotelian view of the universe, present and dominant through the medieval period and into the Renaissance. The book was a great catalyst for the Scientific Revolution. This edition allows the reader to see how Newton's work evolved over time, from the manuscript draft of the first edition between 1685 and 1687 to the release of the third edition in 1726. The textual variations are displayed, with other variant readings taken from surviving manuscripts. The front flap refers to this publication as a photographic reprint of the third edition, with the variant readings from the seven other sources at the bottom of each page. Thus the reader can easily observe Newton's changes. The appendices provide a bibliography of the Principia, information on the contributions of Roger Cotes and Henry Pemberton, and a complete table of contents for the third edition. A beautiful example of this important and comprehensive edition of one of the great works of science. A private person's stamp on the front pastedown of each volume; a small blemish to volume one's jacket's front panel.

First edition of volume one and second editions of volumes two and three, in the rare dust jackets of Russell and Whitehead's monumental work. Octavo, three volumes, original cloth. Rare and desirable. Probably named after Isaac Newton's great work, "Principia Mathematica was Whitehead and Russell s detailed account of their logicist thesis that mathematics could be derived solely from logical concepts and by logical methods [it] has had an influence, direct and indirect, of near Newtonian proportions upon the spheres of its chief influence: mathematical logic, set theory, the foundations of mathematics, linguistic analysis and analytical philosophy" (Grattan-Guinness, p. 89). "Whether they know it or not, all modern logicians are the heirs of Whitehead and Russell" (Palgrave, p. 20). In very good to near fine condition with volumes two and three in the rare original dust jackets, endpapers renewed to volume one.

Newton, Isaac (1643-1727). Matematicheskiye nachala natural'noy filosofii. Translated from Latin with notes and explanations by A[leksei] N. Krylov. 2 vols. vi, 276; [4], 277-620pp. 36 plates. Petrograd: M. M. Stasyulevich, 1915-16. Original printed wrappers, spines restored, edges of wrappers repaired, front wrapper of Vol. 1 a bit creased, a few tiny chips. Library stamps on titles and last pages of both volumes, some ink lines in the margins. Very good. First Edition in Russian of Newton's Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica (1687), made by Russian naval engineer and applied mathematician Aleksei Nikolaevich Krylov (1863-1945), who became internationally famous for his works on magnetic compasses, ship floodability, hydrodynamics and computational mathematics. He built the first machine in Russia for integrating ordinary differential equations, and in 1931 published a paper on what is now called "Krylov subspace," dealing with computation of the characteristic polynomial coefficients of a given matrix. The first volume of Krylov's translation of the Principia, unlike many Russian books of the period, was printed on good-quality paper; the second volume, however, was printed on paper of lesser quality. The edition does not include information on the number of copies printed, but it was likely a small edition. OCLC cites four copies in Western librariesStanford, Huntington, University of Oklahoma and Paris-BIUSJ-Mathematiques. Not in A Descriptive Catalogue of the Grace K. Babson Collection of the Works of Sir Isaac Newton. .

First edition in English, first impression, of the famed incompleteness theorems, overturning a century of efforts to place the whole of mathematics on an axiomatic basis and proving that the bounds cannot be those of one formal system. This edition includes a preface by R. B. Braithwaite (1900-1990), Knightbridge Professor of Moral Philosophy at Cambridge. For Gödel, even in elementary arithmetic there exist propositions that cannot be proven or disproven within the system. Mathematics is not finished, as had been believed, and computers can never be programmed to answer all mathematical questions. The theorems were originally published in Monatshefte für Mathematik in 1931. Newman, pp. 1668-95. Octavo. Formulae in the text. Original light green cloth, spine lettered in red. With dust jacket. With bookseller's ticket of Dillon's University Bookshop, London, to front pastedown. Boards gently splayed, rear cover faintly mottled; jacket unclipped, spine toned, extremities creased, closed tears to rear cover sometime repaired with tape on recto and verso: a very good copy in like jacket.

First editions, an exceptionally rare presentation copy, inscribed by Whitehead on the front free endpapers of volumes I and II to his only sister, Shirley Maria Whitehead (1858-1943), "S.M.W. from A.N.W.", and dated "March 13 / 12" in the second volume (preceding publication in April). In 1891 Shirley Maria married Alfred's former Sherborne School mathematics master, the Rev. John Blanch (1842-1907), whom Alfred held in high esteem - in 1898 he presented him with an inscribed copy of his first book, Treatise on Universal Algebra with Applications. The marriage however is recorded as unhappy by Victor Lowe in his biography of Whitehead, and Blanch died by suicide in 1907, before the publication of the Principia Mathematica. Shirley continued to reside in Cambridge, where both Russell and Whitehead studied, and where they collaborated in writing the Principia. To our knowledge the only other presentation copy to have appeared on the market was that in the collection of Haskell F. Norman, which was presented to the mathematical philosopher Philip Jourdain. That copy, however, had only presentation slips from the publisher, rather than being inscribed directly by an author as here - it garnered $129,000 in the Norman sale in 1998. The authors are known to have sent complimentary copies to the library of Trinity College, Cambridge, of which they both were or had been Fellows, to R. G. Hawtrey, who checked over some of the text while it was in preparation, to G. G. Berry, a clerk at the Bodleian Library with remarkable abilities in mathematical logic, and to Jourdain. The University Press sent copies to G. Peano, G. Frege, L. Couturat, J. Royce, W. E. Johnson (who had examined the manuscript for the Press), E. W. Hobson, and A. R. Forsyth. We cannot trace the location of any of these copies, other than Jourdain's and the copy remaining in Trinity College, Cambridge. In the Principia, Whitehead and Russell attempted to construct "the whole body of mathematical doctrine by logical deduction from the basis of a small number of primitive ideas and a small number of primitive principles of logical inference" (DSB, XII, p. 14). This 'logicist' position holds that mathematics is as a branch of logic, and thus "that a separate philosophy of mathematics does not exist, a view contradicting the Kantian doctrine that mathematical proofs depend on a priori forms of intuition. the three colossal volumes of Principia Mathematica. formed the greatest single contribution to symbolic logic for the time" (ODNB). Russell wrote to Helen Flexner that he doubted anyone would read it all the way through, and it is renowned for its extraordinary complexity and impenetrability, yet nonetheless, it has been correctly called "one of the most impressive intellectual monuments of the twentieth century" (ibid.). A fourth volume, dealing with the applications to geometry, was planned but never finished, as both men turned their attention away from mathematics and towards philosophy. Aside from the desirable presentation, this is one of only 500 possible complete sets - the first volume was printed in 750 copies, but the publishers reduced the printings of volumes II and III to 500 copies each. John Slater, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto and editor of The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell, suggests that there are probably fewer than 50 sets surviving in private hands. Blackwell & Ruja A9.1a; Church, Bibliography of Symbolic Logic, 194.1-3 (one of a handful of works marked by Church as being "of especial interest or importance"); Martin 101.01-03. Victor Lowe, Alfred North Whitehead: The Man and His Work, vol. I, 2020. 3 vols, large octavo. Original dark blue cloth, spines lettered in gilt and ruled in blind, rules continuing to covers in blind; joints and extremities neatly restored. Housed in custom morocco-entry blue cloth slipcase. Bookplate of South-west Essex Technical College and School of Art Library to vol. I and II (active 1938-1970, absorbed into the North East London Polytechnic), their stamp to vol. I and II titles, every hundredth page from p. 5 on, and rear free endpapers and fore edges (vol. III without such markings and likely sometime supplied). Vol. I: endpapers toned with slight abrasion to front pastedown, upper outer corner a little bumped, two short closed tears at foot of first text leaf. Vol. II: restoration at upper outer corner of front free endpaper with loss to the "W" in the inscription. Vol. III with front free endpapers replaced, bump to lower outer corner. All three vols a little rubbed and sometime polished, vol. III a little more visibly. Contents clean aside from library markings. A very good set.

First Edition. First edition. Three volumes. ix, [5], 666; xxxiv, 772; x, 491 pp. Bound in publisher's navy cloth, spines lettered in gilt; housed in custom folding cloth box. Good condition overall. Unsophisticated copies, pleasantly not-ex-library (very uncommon in commerce thus), but certainly fragile. Rubbing to lettering, staining and edge wear to cloth, boards exposed at extremities; contents toned, brittle with age, and sometimes faintly foxed. Hinges of Vol. I starting; rear board split at head but holding; a few pages detached; about a fifth of pp.1-2 torn off but retained; circular tear to last several leaves of the volume. Vol. II has occasional marginal chipping including to lower corners of about 160 pages, not affecting text; tiny wormholes to inner margins of prelims; hinges worn with a few pages detached. Vol. III cloth chipped along edges; bump to bottom inner corner of textblock. A truly rare first edition of one of the major intellectual landmarks of the 20th century. It marked a milestone in the evolution of mathematical logic, upon which the development of computers and the information sciences would depend, by attempting to construct "the whole body of mathematical doctrine by logical deduction from the basis of a small number of primitive ideas and a small number of primitive principles of logical inference" (DSB, XII, p. 14). In the discipline of philosophy this work represents a culmination of centuries of empiricist and rationalist discourse, an ambitious masterwork.
