About This Item

Geneve: Chez Henri-Albert Gosse & Compagnie, 1743 First French edition of Reid's Abstract of Sir Isaac Newton's Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms, which first appeared in 1732. Another French abridgement of this Newton work was published in 1725, appearing at the end of Volume VII or Prideaux's Histoire des Juifs (1725), but that was unauthorized and was the work of another translator. Modern antique-style calf over marbled boards, gilt spine. . Octavo. A little light foxing, title-page has some minor chips and one small stain. Still, a very good copy of a scarce work. OCLC lists seven copies of this work, five in North America—including two copies at Berkeley and copies at the University of Chicago, Kent State, and the Burndy Library.

Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
