“Whence arises all that order and beauty we see in the world?”

― Isaac Newton, Opticks

Few names in the course of the history of science have been as influential as Isaac Newton. His works, such as ‘Opticks’, summarized great discoveries and theories concerning light and color, reflections, color wheel, invention of the telescope, early theories of the rainbow, and Newtonian rings – one of the greatest works on optics. ‘Opticks’, in addition to his other famous treatises, were published together in the 1782 collected works of Newton by Samuel Horsley.

This set of three volumes from the Horsley collected edition includes not only ‘Opticks’, but works such as “Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms”, correspondence with Boyle on gravity, and “De mundi systemate”, or “Systems of the World”.
