Leipzig, Gleditsch & Lanckis, 1751. 4to. No wrappers. In: "Nova Acta Eruditorum, Anno MDCCLI", March- Issue, Pars I-II. Entire issue in 2 parts offered. With titlepage to the volume 1751. Pp. 97-192. Koenig's paper: pp. 125-135 a. pp. 162-176. With 2 engraved plates. Titlepage with 2 stamps and a bit soiled. Leaves as usual a bit browned. First printing of this important paper in which Koenig set forth his "Law of least Action". The law states that the kinetic energy of a system of mass points is equal to the sum of the kinetic energy of the motion of the system relative to the center of gravity and of the kinetic energy of the total mass of the system considered as a whole, which moves as the center of gravity of the system."While still in Franeker, Koenig wrote the draft of his important essay on the principle of least action, which was directed against Maupertuis. The controversy touched off by this work, which was published in March 1751, resulted in perhaps the ugliest of all the famous scientific disputes. Its principal figures were Koenig, Maupertuis, Euler, Frederick II, and Voltaire" and, as is well known, it left an unseemly stain on Euler?s otherwise untarnished escutcheon. The quarrel occupied Koenig?s last years almost completely" moreover, he had been ill for several years before it started. Koenig emerged the moral victor from this affair, in which all the great scientists of Europe?except Maupertuis and Euler?were on his side. The later finding of Kabitz2 testifies to Koenig?s irreproachable character."(DSB).

FIRST EDITION, title-page with offsets from binding turn-ins, minor damp-stain in upper margin right at the end, a slight tendency to browning, pp. 311, [1], 8vo, disbound from a larger volume. Ray (1753-1837) was Pastor of the Congregationalist church in Sudbury for 63 years. His best known work, Christian Liberty, was published in 1789. The present edition is in ESTC, but anonymously. The 1790 John Murray edition refers to this as the first edition. Apart from the referral here, repeated in Avis á tout le monde touchant la liberté, ?Edinburgh, ?1792 (ESTC N33425), the Design of Creation seem to have sunk without trace. This is more about the divisions within Christianity, 'Pagans, Mahometans, Jews' being dealt with in pp. 15-76. The various schisms of the Christian church, including topical ones (notably in Scotland), take up most of the remaining chapters, though there are a few on general topics, including slavery. Ray was an influential member of the Suffolk County Association, which, according to an obituary notice in The Congregational Magazine, 'has the distinction of being the first religious body of dissenters that declared their abhorrence of slavery.' 4 copies only in ESTC: BL, NLS, EUL, St. Andrews. Cf ESTC N52298. (ESTC T93526).
