Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover with mylar covered dust jacket. Some discoloration on top edge. Tan covers with gold in blue block and blue lettering to spine. Pages clean and unmarked. These five articles by Henry Guerlac, an eminent historian of science, reflect his lifelong interest in the work of Isaac Newton. Three of the papers, constituting what Professor Guerlac has termed a "reputation study," deal with Newton's fortuna on the Continent, notably France, and a pair of short essays point to echoes of European thought which are found in Newton's earliest surviving notebook. Four of the articles, published previously, have been revised and somewhat expanded. The concluding paper is a study of the resistance, mainly in France, to Newton's work on light and color, and the path by which his discoveries on light were confirmed and finally accepted. This book will be welcomed by historians and philosophers of science and by others interested in the history of ideas.…

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A collection of five essays by distinguished historian of science Henry Guerlac examining the reception and influence of Isaac Newton's work in continental Europe. Three essays form what Guerlac described as a "reputation study," tracing Newton's intellectual fortunes on the Continent, particularly in France. Two additional essays explore European influences reflected in Newton's earliest surviving notebook. The illustrations include two of Newton's optical sketches later used in the principal sections of the French edition of the Opticks. Guerlac considers how Newtonian science crossed linguistic and national boundaries, how continental scholars interpreted and adapted Newton's theories, and how Newton himself absorbed elements of European intellectual traditions. The volume offers a focused contribution to Newton studies, the history of optics and physics, and the broader circulation of scientific ideas during the Enlightenment. Condition: Near Fine hardcover in a Near Fine original dust jacket. Binding appears square and firm. Interior pages are clean and gently age-toned. Pencil notations reading approximately "IP 1995" and "13.50" appear at the upper edge of the half-title; no additional writing, underlining, or ownership markings are visible in the photographed portions. Dust jacket shows general toning, light soiling and rubbing, mild edge and corner wear, and a short crease or closed tear near the upper front panel. Jacket is protected in a clear removable cover. First edition of a specialized work by one of the major twentieth-century historians of science. Guerlac was particularly associated with the study of Newton, Lavoisier, and the Scientific Revolution, and this volume remains relevant to collections devoted to Newtonian science, European intellectual history, optics, physics, and the transmission of scientific ideas.
