Synopsis
The Present State Of The Republick Of Letters describes a mid-18th-century London periodical issue surveying recent books, travels, and scholarly debates across mathematics, philology, antiquities, and religious philosophy. It presents a mosaic of contemporary learning: Newtonian fluxions and the controversy over infinitesimals, with appendices defending Newton’s method against critics such as Philalethes Cantabrigienfis and Robins, and noting Colson’s English translations of the Principia. Armenian Bible studies and the Armenian language are treated alongside reviews of universal history and Butler’s Analogy of Religion, as well as practical handbooks on measurement and law. The text highlights cross-disciplinary exchange—translations, apparatus, and scholarly notes—together with travel sketches and antiquarian editions such as The History of the Pleas of the Crown and the Isle of Thanet. It emphasizes debates over how to reconcile rigorous proof with infinitesimal reasoning, how natural religion relates to revelation, and how 18th-century learning aims to codify knowledge across history, language, and law. It showcases a lively republic of letters, with appendices, notes, and translations that shape the period’s scholarly culture.
