Description
1790 OPTICS Astronomy NEWTON Physics Natural Philosophy Nicholson Illustrated
“Before the discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton had shewn the composition of white light, the science of optics consisted of propositions in which the rays of light were always supposed to be equally refrangible or reflexible.”
? William Nicholson, An Introduction to Natural Philosophy
Written in 1781, “An Introduction to Natural Philosophy” was first published in London in two volumes. It contains 19 incredible folding plates of chemical, physical, and astronomical events – the most impressive being the map of the celestial sky!
The contents are extensive. While chemistry, astronomy, and physics are the overarching themes, this book gives lessons on metals, acids, heat, and chemical reactions; he discusses sound and its effect on music, the power of the air; the motion of fluids, and the states of matter; light and rainbows, plus more!
