[PEMBERTON, Henry (1694-1771)]. A View of Sir Isaac Newton's Philosophy. London: S. Palmer, 1728. 4° (277 x 215mm). 7 engraved vignettes (including title-vignette), 6 initials and a few culs-de-lampe by John Pine, 12 folding engraved plates, list of subscribers (light waterstaining in lower margins of quire Ff) but otherwise a good copy in contemporary panelled calf (rebacked).
FIRST EDITION of Pemberton's explanation of Newtonianism, especially useful for the unmathematical. The work remains one of the most important sources on Newton's latter years, written by as close a friend as it was possible to be and one who was invited by Newton to edit the third edition of the Principia. Babson 98.
