Correspondence of Scientific Men of the Seventeenth Century, Volume 1, offers a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual world of the era through the personal letters of some of its most prominent figures. This collection includes correspondence from Isaac Barrow, John Flamsteed, John Wallis, and Sir Isaac Newton, among others.
Printed from the original documents in the collection of the Earl of Macclesfield, these letters provide invaluable insights into the development of scientific thought and the personal relationships between these influential thinkers. Edited by Augustus De Morgan and Stephen Jordan Rigaud, this volume captures the spirit of scientific inquiry that defined the 17th century and remains a valuable resource for historians of science and anyone interested in the lives and works of these seminal figures.
