Babson 70. Gray 82. HBS 42731. - Third edition and the last issued in Latin, the most expanded edition, to double the plates of the editions before, newly engraved. Willem Jacob Storm van 's Gravesande (1688-1742) was the earliest influential exponent of the Newtonian philosophy in continental Europe. The scientific reputation of 'sGravesande is enshrined in this book, which he constantly corrected and amplified in later editions... easily the most influential book of its kind, at least before 1750. It was a larger, better-argued, and more philosophical work than most of its predecessors; moreover it leaned heavily on Opticks (including the queries) as well as on the Principia. One should therefore distinguish between 'sGravesande's roles as an exponent of Newtonian concepts (the rules of reasoning, the theory of gravitational atttraction and its applications in celestial mechanics, theory of matter, theory of light, and so forth) and as an exponent of an empiricist methodology disdaining postulated hypotheses. The strenghth of his exposition was in his perfection of the method of justifying scientific truths either by self-evidence or by an appeal to experimental verification in the manner already begun by Keill and Desaguliers. Yet,'sGravesande's teaching and his Elements were by no means the sole vehicle for the introduction of British empiricism to the Continent, although probably they were the most important (DSB). The 127 plates are engraved with extraordinary care (Babson). - Nur vereinzelt fleckig, einige Bll. gebräunt.
