 A FINE COPY OF THK KXcEssivELY KARK Orioinal EDITION of this moiuiineiital work, wliicli lirst made public the solar 

 nystftiii known by the author's name, and formed the starting point of modern astronomy. ' The De R'rolutwnihus he 

 completed in 1530, but could not be jjrevailed on to give to the press till Just before the end of liis life. In 1542 he was 

 seized w.th apoplexy, accompanied by paralysis on the right side. On •J4th May 1643 the first printed copy of the 

 work arrived at FniuenberK, and was touched by the author's dying hands only a few hours before he expired. His 

 memory gone and his faculties all obscured, it could only be said he seemed to know what it was he touched.'
