Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A collection of five essays by distinguished historian of science Henry Guerlac examining the reception and influence of Isaac Newton's work in continental Europe. Three essays form what Guerlac described as a "reputation study," tracing Newton's intellectual fortunes on the Continent, particularly in France. Two additional essays explore European influences reflected in Newton's earliest surviving notebook. The illustrations include two of Newton's optical sketches later used in the principal sections of the French edition of the Opticks. Guerlac considers how Newtonian science crossed linguistic and national boundaries, how continental scholars interpreted and adapted Newton's theories, and how Newton himself absorbed elements of European intellectual traditions. The volume offers a focused contribution to Newton studies, the history of optics and physics, and the broader circulation of scientific ideas during the Enlightenment. Condition: Near Fine hardcover in a Near Fine original dust jacket. Binding appears square and firm. Interior pages are clean and gently age-toned. Pencil notations reading approximately "IP 1995" and "13.50" appear at the upper edge of the half-title; no additional writing, underlining, or ownership markings are visible in the photographed portions. Dust jacket shows general toning, light soiling and rubbing, mild edge and corner wear, and a short crease or closed tear near the upper front panel. Jacket is protected in a clear removable cover. First edition of a specialized work by one of the major twentieth-century historians of science. Guerlac was particularly associated with the study of Newton, Lavoisier, and the Scientific Revolution, and this volume remains relevant to collections devoted to Newtonian science, European intellectual history, optics, physics, and the transmission of scientific ideas.
