Hardcover. Condición: Fine. 1st Edition. First Easton Press edition, 2000. Fine oversize leatherbound hardback issued without dust jacket, clean and unmarked. A relatively scarce Easton title. Some question as to how Easton actually catalogs this title. Spine says, "Principia"; half-title says, "Newton's Principia (Motte's Translation Revised)"; title reads (in full), "Sir Isaac Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy and his System of the World, translated into English by Andrew Motte in 1729. The translations revised, and supplied with an historical and explanatory appendix, by Florian Cajori, late professor of the history of mathematics emerits [sic] in the University of California.".
