In 4

42, [2] p., [1] table paper. folded

Coeval hardback binding. Complete

Rare first edition, in perfect condition, written by one of the greatest scholars in the history of science.

The present work constitutes an important springboard for Boscovich in his contribution to the structural analysis, which culminated three years later in the publication of Philosophiae naturalis theoria. This work, in which he anticipated the theories of Mach, Poincaré and Einstein by 150 years, postulated a revolutionary atomic theory according to which each material point connects a point in space and a moment in time.
