The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, by Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)
Translated into English by Andrew Motte (1693 - 1728)
Published by Daniel Adee, 1846. Edited by N. W. Chittenden

Addendum, by Nicolae Sfetcu:
- Historical context: Action at a distance
- The methodology of Isaac Newton
- The dispute over the priority of the law of gravity

The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy (Latin: Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica), often abbreviated as Principia or Principia Mathematica, the Isaac Newtons masterpiece, was published in London on July 5, 1687. The text of the third edition in Latin, 1726 , will be revised and enriched for the last time by Newton, being generally considered as a reference. The book is one of the most important scientific books ever published, being the foundation of classical mechanics. It is considered by most physicists to be the most famous book in this field. Newton applies here the mathematical laws to the study of natural phenomena. The book contains Newtons laws of motion that formed the basis of Newtonian mechanics, as well as the universal law of gravity.
Most translations of the book are based on Newtons third edition in 1726. The first translation, in 1729, belongs to Andrew Motte, republished in 1846 by Daniel Adee as the first American edition, edited by N. W. Chittenden.
The book begins with definitions, laws, or axioms, followed by three parts (or books) about the motion of bodies and the system of the world.
This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being... This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of his dominion he is wont, to be called Lord God pa?t???at?? or Universal Ruler. (Isaac Newton)
The whole evolution of our ideas about the processes of nature might be regarded as an organic development of Newtons work. (Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar)
