Biography of the Dutch scientist and account of his widely-varied studies; the author notes he was too much influenced by Descartes and his main influence on Newton may have been to spur him to consolidate & publish his ideas, yet he was still the greatest European man of science between the death of Galileo and the rise of Newton.

Text clean, no names or marks; 220 pages; index, short bibliography, brief notes on persons mentioned, figures, equations, a few b/w plates. Size: Octavo. N° de réf. du vendeur w0450
