RARE FIRST EDITION BY ‘THE LAST POLYMATH TO FIGURE IN AN IMPORTANT WAY IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE’ (DSB). The present work is an important stepping stone by Boscovich in his contribution to structural analysis, which would culminate three years later in his publication of Philosophiae naturalis theoria. This work, wherein he pre-empted by 150 years the theories of Mach, Poincaré and Einstein, posited a revolutionary atomic theory whereby every material point links a point in space and a moment in time. Riccardi I, 178 (46).
