At this time an Italian, M. Poleni, produced a paper about the force generated by a moving body on impact, which Pemberton refuted as erroneous. Pemberton's treatment of the problem was passed to Newton and this, together with Newton's own refutation of Poleni's thesis, was published in the \u003cem\u003ePhilosophical Transactions\u003c\/em\u003e in 1772. Intercourse between Newton and Pemberton thus became established and Pemberton was invited to superintend the editing of the third edition of the \u003cem\u003ePrincipia mathematica\u003c\/em\u003e, which appeared in 1726'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work is illustrated with several folding diagrams explaining key scientific principles, including plans on Newton's celestial mechanics showing the orbits of the six known planets around the sun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFirst edition; 4to (29 x 23.5 cm); engraved title-vignette, further engraved vignettes at book headings and historiated initials by John Pine after J.
