51, [1, blank]pp. 1 vols. 8vo. First edition. First edition. 51, [1, blank]pp. 1 vols. 8vo. "The first American contribution to the history of mathematics, as well as the earliest American analysis and appreciation of the work of Isaac Newton" (Felcone). Minto (1753-1796), a professor of astronomy and mathematics at Princeton, then the College of New Jersey, was an established scientist with an international reputation and a professorship at his alma mater the University of Edinburgh, when he emmigrated to America from Scotland. the present work was his inaugural speech upon his instatement as the professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at Princeton. "Noteworthy for its eloquence, his argument refuted the charge that the study of mathematics made men skeptical of everything that was not susceptible of a mathematical demonstration. On the contrary, Minto maintained that mathematics was the very handmaiden of religion, and that a student who lacked religious reverence did so because God had not bestowed him with sufficient understanding.[Minto] is credited with the liberalization of the college curriculum to offer mathematics and the physical sciences in place of the traditional requirements of Greek and Latin" (ANB). "It also contains the first careful American analysis and appreciation of Newton's Work, in section VIII which includes Newton's epitaph in Westminster Abbey" (Babson Newton Coll.). Minto attributes Newton's discoveries in natural philosophy to his mathematical genius. "Rejecting hypothesis and metaphysical visions, this prince of philosophers established the science of nature on the eternal foundation of facts or experiment, and by means of his own mathematics, reared a wonderful and immovable superstructure, which he carried so near to perfection, that little seems left to be done by posterity" (pp. 24-5).

Minto's address offered an occasion to rehearse the slow advance of the human mind until the recent unfolding of the active genius of man with Copernicus, Descartes, and others who paved the way for Isaac Newton, 'a man without an equal in the history of human genius.'"
