This book deals with the history of Isaac Newton, the greatest genius that ever existed, one of the famous men of science. In the same year in which Galileo, sad and blind, went away from the earth, Sir Isaac Newton came to make his home upon it... In speaking of Newton we are tempted to paraphrase a line from the Scriptures: Before Newton the Solar System was without form, and void; then Newton came and there was light. To have discovered a law not only applicable to matter on this earth, but to the planets and sun and stars beyond, is a triumph which places Newton among the super-men.
