Description

This new work by one of this century's most eminent Newtonian scholars - Rupert Hall - brings together for the first time the early eighteenth century biographical notices of Sir Isaac Newton.

The centrepiece of the book is a brand new translation of Paolo Frisi's biography, the first published on Newton in 1778.

Also included are the biographies by Fontenelle (1727), Thomas Birch (1738), Charles Hutton (1795), and John Conduitt.

Each translation is accompanied by a commentary by Professor Hall.

A brief biography and a bibliography of Newton have also been included for the reader.

This book will be an extremely valuable addition to the works on Newton, and provide a fascinating text for historians of science
