Two 12mo volumes, second edition; translated from Italian to French by Du Perron de Castera, bound in uniform contemporary sponge-decorated calf with flat, gilt-tooled spines, 6 1/2 x 3 3/4 in. (2) Algarotti's Newtonianism for Ladies was an 18th century bestseller. It was also one of the main channels through which Newtonian ideas reached the general public in continental Europe. The book offered a description of some of Newton's experiments on the nature of light and colors in the form of a genteel dialogue between a chevalier and a marchioness." (Quoted from Massimo Mazzotti's Newton for Ladies: Gentility, Gender and Radical Culture, British Journal for the History of Science, Vol. 37, No. 2, June 2004, pages 119-146.)
