“Sir David Brewster’s ’Life of Sir Isaac Newton’
is a valuable contribution to English literature.
It is an account of the life, writings, and
discoveries of one of the greatest men that ever
lived, by a gentleman distinguished for his
profound scholarship and scientific knowledge.
The book is worthy of the subject to which it is
devoted.”--_London Review, December 15._
“Such works as Sir David Brewster’s careful,
though rather partial, biography, are of the
utmost value in presenting a faithful summary of
all that materially illustrates the character of
the mind of our great philosopher.”--_Quarterly
Review, October 1861._
