Seller's Description:
[iv], 565[3] pp; occasional spotting. Later half calf retaining old marbled boards, joints rubbed. First edition. 'A collection of 156 biographies of great philosophers and mathematicians. More than half of the book is devoted to men of the seventeenth century-Leibnitz, Hooke, Boyle, Flamsteed, Huygens, etc. It is interesting to see them through the eyes of a contemporary philosopher. Newton's life runs from page 361 to 376. A footnote speaks of an engraved portrait of Newton as a frontispiece of the book, but it is not found in this copy. ' Babson 291. Martin (1704-1782), was self-taught in mathematics and astronomy, and an enthusiastic follower of Newton. He attempted several compendia of natural sciences and philosophy; his 'English Dictionary' was published in 1749 with a second edition in 1757.
