A Treatise Of The System Of The World (1728)

A Treatise of the System of the World is a book written by the renowned physicist and mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton, in 1728. It is a detailed and comprehensive treatise on the laws of motion and gravity that govern the celestial bodies in our solar system. In this book, Newton presents his famous theory of universal gravitation, which explains how all objects in the universe are attracted to each other in proportion to their mass and distance. He also discusses the motions of the planets and their satellites, the precession of the equinoxes, and the tides. The book is divided into four parts, each of which covers a different aspect of the system of the world. Part One deals with the laws of motion and gravity, Part Two covers the motion of the planets, Part Three discusses the precession of the equinoxes, and Part Four explains the tides. The book is written in a clear and concise style, and is considered one of the most important scientific works in the history of physics and astronomy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science or the workings of the universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
