Good Ex-College Library With All The Associated Markings And Label Of A X-Library Book. Softcover. 300Pp Including List Of Catalog, Etc And Index.Small Crease To Front Cover Upper Rt Corner. Sir Isaac Newton Left At His Death A Large Collection Of Papers On Alchemy, Mostly In His Own Handwriting; The Importance Of This Legacy Has Been Debated Ever Since. When It First Appeared, Professor Dobb's Detailed Analysis Of The Foundations Of Newton's Alchemical Pursuits Further Stimulated Interest In The Subject By Firmly Establishing The Importance Of Alchemy In Newton's Thought. This Book Sets The Foundations Of Newton's Alchemy In Their Historical Context In Restoration England. It Is Shown That Alchemical Modes Of Thought And Particularly Those Of A Neoplatonic Kind, Were Quite Strong In Many Of Those Who Provided The Dynamism For The Scientific Revolution Of The Seventeenth Century And That These Modes Of Thought Had Important Relationships With General Movements For Reform In The Same Period: Reform Of Religion, Philosophy, Learning, Society And Of Man Himself. Newton's Alchemy Is Thus Seen As A Critical Link Between Renaissance Hermeticism And The Rational Chemistry And Mechanics Of The Eighteenth Century..

Description:
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (CUP), 1983. Paperback octavo, good plus condition, top edge foxed (other edges slightly), bottom edge rubbed, some edgewear, owner's written name title page. 300 pp. The famous English scientist Isaac Newton left at his death a large collection of papers on alchemy, mostly in his own handwriting. The importance of this legacy has been debated ever since. B. J. T. Dobbs exhaustively chronicles the mystic climate of Newton's age. She tracks the final 30 years of Newton's life spent in diligent but fruitless quest for the Lapis Philosophorum or the Philosopher's Stone.
