A first edition copy of Sir Isaac Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy in English has sold at auction for £22,000.
The "rare" volumes were found on a bookshelf in a house in South Wales during a lockdown clear out.
Auctioneer, Chris Albury said he "almost fell off" his chair when he realised it was "the greatest work of science in the English language".
