Disbound, 19pp., inc. title, some faint foxing, good condition. Note on the background: But Flamsteed was furious when Sir Isaac Newton, who regularly used his data for his own studies, grew tired of Flamsteed's insistence on double-checking every detail before allowing his data to be published and rushed out an error-strewn version of the 'Historia Colestis Britannica' in 1712.| Feeling deeply betrayed by Newton and Edmund Halley who had edited the volume, Flamsteed spent a small fortune buying up as many copies as he could before publicly burning them at the Royal Observatory.| Newton responded by removing all references to Flamsteed from his 'Principia Mathematica' despite the astronomer's huge contribution to the volume."

First edition. Three volumes. 8vo. Twentieth century tan quarter sheep over russet cloth boards, gilt ruled compartments to the spines, gilt lettered direct to two panels and dated at the feet, blind tooled device to the others. Very good. Whewell was a prolific writer and something of a scientific polymath, concerning himself with the development and understanding of the wider reaches of the subject rather than specialising in specific branches. Indeed, it was said that Charles Lyell initially regretted that his contemporary didn't concentrate his great intellect on particular sciences, but subsequently came to the opinion that "by being a universalist rather than a specialist he was assisting the progress of science". (ODNB).
