July 5th, 1687, London, The Kingdom of England – The last of 305 pages is pressed in the first run of a new book sanctioned by The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge. Written entirely in Latin and prefaced with 48 lines of poetry in dactylic hexameter, the book was two years in the making and underwent careful consultation and scrutiny before the printing plates were primed. Revised in 1713 and again in 1726, the title of the book was Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. The author was one Isaac Newton. Tim Haïdar, Oil & Gas IQ
