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".

�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This edition of Isaac Newton’s Principia is the first edition that enables the reader to see at a glance the stages of evolution of the work from the completion of the manuscript draft of the first edition in 1685 to the publication of the third edition, authorized by Newton, in 1726.

A photographic reprint of this final version, the present edition exhibits on the same page the variant readings from the seven other texts. This design allows the reader to see all the changes that Newton introduced and to determine exactly how the last and definitive edition, published a few months before Newton’s death, grew from earlier versions.

A series of appendices provides additional material on the development of the Principia; the contributions of Roger Cotes and of Henry Pemberton; drafts of Newton’s preface to the third edition; a bibliography of the Principia, describing in detail the three substantive editions and all the known subsequent editions; an index of names mentioned in the third edition; and a complete table of contents of the third edition.
