Memoirs of the Life, Writings and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton 12+

📒 Sir David Brewster (1781-1868) was a Scottish physicist of international reputation. These memoirs of Sir Isaac Newton's life and career, first published in 1855, were the result of more than twenty years of research, using previously unknown correspondence and original manuscripts. Brewster's own scientific interests, particularly in optics, gave him the ability to communicate Newton's work. The book is illustrated with numerous drawings and graphics.
