A Bibliography of the Works of Sir Isaac Newton, George J. Gray — 1966 Facsimile Reprint
Publication: London, Dawsons of Pall Mall, 1966
Formatting: 8vo, pp. [viii], 80.
Condition Report: Near Fine. This copy is remarkably well-preserved, boasting a tight, sound quarter-cloth binding that remains square and secure. The light brown cloth spine is notably bright, with sharp ends and crisp black lettering. The olive-brown paper boards present cleanly, exhibiting only minor, superficial scuffing that barely detracts from the overall aesthetic. Internally, the text block is bright, fresh, and free from any obtrusive blemishes, culminating in an excellent, collector-quality example of this reference work.
Catalogue Note: This is the 1966 Dawsons of Pall Mall facsimile reprint of the Second Edition, originally published in Cambridge in 1907. Reprints by Dawsons were often produced in small runs for institutional libraries, making copies in such a bright, well-preserved state uncommon on the open market today.
The volume includes a frontispiece illustrating Roubiliac’s famous statue of Newton at Trinity College, Cambridge. It serves as an essential bibliographical tool, meticulously cataloguing Newton's published output alongside a supplementary list of books illustrating his life and works.
A cornerstone reference for historians of science and antiquarian collectors alike, George J. Gray's A Bibliography of the Works of Sir Isaac Newton offers a comprehensive and systematically organised catalogue of the great physicist’s writings. First published in 1888 and revised in 1907, this enduring bibliographical study covers everything from Newton's groundbreaking Principia and Opticks to his lesser-known tracts, letters, and the myriad of works that discuss his revolutionary theories. It remains an indispensable guide for anyone navigating the complex landscape of Newtonian literature.

Book Condition Guide
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| New | A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage. |
| As New | The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years. |
| Fine | The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked. |
| Near Fine | The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition. |
| Very Good | The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present. |
| Good | A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy. |
| Fair | A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity. |
| Poor | A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance. |
