Seller's Description:
Very Good. This is a reprint of the book originally published by Harvard University Press, an introduction to Newton's treatise, which was originally published in three editions which differed in language, in technical content, and in philosophical position; this volume is an introduction to the author's modern edition of the treatise with variant readings from Newton's three original editions; it includes an extended preface that presents the history of the changes made to the treatise in its several editions, a biography of Newton's writing of the treatise, and a history of its critical reception, it's subsequent revisions and editions, and the reception of two later authorized versions (light yellow cover with orange & gray lettering, portrait of Newton on the front, very faint corner crease, previous owner's bookplate inside the front cover; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
