Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. 2nd Edition. Second edition, second issue, of one of the most important English astronomy books, the first printed text in English to discuss Kepler's first and third laws of planetary motion, alongside Streete's own version of Kepler's second law. This second edition was the first to include the lunar and planetary observations composed by Edmond Halley; he also revised the "much greater part of the tables" according to the preface. "Streete introduced, through his writings, Johannes Kepler's laws of planetary motion to Isaac Newton . . . Newton's path to universal gravitation was aided in part by his struggles with the accuracy of Kepler's laws and with the failure of vortices to confirm Kepler's second law. It was Streete among others who had provided Newton with the materials and problems that would eventually lead him to combine inertia with gravitational forces to derive Kepler's three laws" (Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers). "Streete's most important work was Astronomia Carolina (1661). One of the most popular expositions of astronomy in the second half of the seventeenth century, it served as a textbook for Newton, Flamsteed, and Halley. Its tables, constructed from a large number of observations, were generally conceded to be the best of their time. The lunar tables, in particular, were felt to mark an advance over previous ones. The book went through many editions and continued in use well into the eighteenth century. The Astronomia Carolina was an important vehicle for the dissemination of Kepler's astronomical ideas, which were as yet by no means generally accepted. Kepler's first and third laws of planetary motion were clearly stated, and it was from the Astronomia that Newton learned of them. In place of Kepler's second law, however, Streete, using as a basis the planetary theories of Seth Ward and Ismael Boulliau, developed an equant construction in which the planets generate equal angles in equal times about the 'empty' focus of the elliptical orbit" (DSB). "Streete spent most of his life in London, where he was employed as a clerk in the Excise Office under Elias Ashmole. He frequented Gresham College and numbered the leading astronomers both in England and abroad among his friends and acquaintances, often assisting them in observing eclipses, transits, comets, and other unusual astronomical phenomena. For many years Streete published highly regarded ephemerides and worked intensively on the problem of determining longitude at sea. After the great fire of 1666, he was engaged in the resurvey of London" (ibid.). Originally published in 1661, a new edition with Halley's observations appeared in 1710; this 1716 edition is a reprint of the 1710 with a new title page. A Latin translation of the 1661 edition appeared in 1705. All editions are rare in commerce. Houzeau & Lancaster 9229; Macclesfield 1958 (this copy). 4to (224 x 175 mm), pp. [8], 2, 31-84, 83-86, 83-114, 97-104, 123-137, [125]; [Halley's tables:] [4], 9-56, 53-68, 67-70, lacking the part-title to Halley's tables with the word 'Appendix' only on recto and verso blank, 'The Design and Use of the foregoing Observations', pp. 67-68, present in two variant states, title-page in red and black, woodcut diagrams in text, contemporary annotations, some small contemporary manuscript notes inserted containing mathematical calculations and proverbial anecdotes etc. (title-page edge strengthened, damp-staining and soiling).
