Selected Chapters from "Elemens de la Philosophie de Neuton" [par] Voltaire : chapters I - V, and XVI - VVI

Abstract

The following is a translation from Elemens de la philosophie de Neuton. The volume I used is in Michigan State University's Special Collections department of their main library. Its call number is QA 803 .V94 1738. I have taken most of the figures from a reprint of a translation done in 1738. Its title and call number are The elements of Sir Isaac Newton's philosophy, by John Hanna, London, Cass 1967, QA 803 .V94l3 1967. Where necessary, I have changed lettering to agree with the figures, rather than following a strict translation from the French and changing the figures to match. For the pleasure of the reader, I have added four illustrations from a copy of Metamorphos d'Ovide printed in 1677 by Francois Foppens in Brussels.
