Opticks is one of the most important books and one of the great classics of physics and one of the great works of science in history. Written by Isaac Newton and first published in 1704, this 1706 edition, by Samuel Clarke, is a scholarly translation into Latin of this great treatise. The book analyzes the fundamental nature of light through the refraction of light with prisms and lenses, the diffraction of light on closely spaced glass sheets, and the behavior of color mixtures with spectral lights or pigmented powders. Rare and valuable.
