Description
1781 ISAAC NEWTON Astronomy Cosmology Optics Illustrated Telescopes Philosophia

Benjamin Martin was an important 18th-century scholar who compiled dictionaries and encyclopedias, and was best-known for ‘Philosophia’; a work that was developed out a series of lectures on experimental philosophy. He devoted his studies and experiments to optics, mechanics, hydraulics, natural phenomena, and astronomy. This work was immensely popular with the English public which prompted Martin to reproduce the work in a juvenile form – a book entitled ‘The Young Gentleman and Lady’s Philosophy’.Martin condensed these lessons which covered the use of celestial and terrestrial globes, the philosophy of sound and music, the physical makeup and philosophical ideas of the heavens, and principles of animals, plants, and minerals. While the contents of this book are quite popular, the added engravings make this set even more desirable. Some of the more desirable plates depict telescopes, armillary spheres, solar system views, sun and moon eclipses, and more!
