Additional Details



Third edition. "Keill's role as a propagator of Newtonian philosophy was carried out primarily through his major work, Introductio ad veram physicam . . . (1701), based on the series of experimental lectures on Newtonian natural philosophy he had been giving at Oxford since 1694. The first such lectures ever given, their attempt to derive Newton's laws experimentally did much to influence later publications"--DSB VII, 276.<
