FONTENELLE, Monsieur [Bernard Le Bovier de]
The lives of the French Italian and German Philosophers. Late members of the Royal Academy of Science in Paris. Together with abstracts Of some of the Choicest Pieces communicated by them to that Illustrious Society. To which is added The preface of the Ingenious Monsieur Fontenelle Secretary and Author of the History of the said Academy
London: Printed for W. Innys 1717. 16 xxxv 1 123 122-441 552 455- 464pp 4. With two terminal advertisement leaves. Contemporary gilt-tooled blind-panelled polished calf contrasting red morocco lettering-piece small shelf-label to head of spine. A trifle rubbed slightly chipped at head else a fine copy. The Macclesfield copy with the armorial 'North Library' bookplate shelf-mark 45.C.29 and typical armorial blind- stamps to title page and first two leaves of text pencilled shelf-marks to front endpapers. A choice copy of John Chamberlayne's significant translation of short biographies or 'Elogy as Mons. Fontenelle calls it' of eminent European scientists and mathematicians members of the French Academy of Sciences with excellent provenance: from the library of the dedicatee Thomas Parker 1st Earl of Macclesfield 1666-1732. Whilst the biographies within are translations of the work of Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle 1657-1757 celebrated French author and secretary for forty-two years of the Academy of Sciences in the second half of the work English writer John Chamberlayne c.1668-1772 has added brief English abstracts of 'some of the Choicest Pieces Memoirs Dissertations &c' taken from the Academy's Transactions including work on flora fauna entomology 'Upon Bees' geological and meteorological phenomena. Chamberlayne's gushing dedication of this work to Lord Parker - then Lord Chief Justice - references the latter's patronage of the sciences was apparently presented 'without.consent or knowledge' and indeed is referenced in his later works also dedicated with similar gusto to the Earl of Macclesfield. This taken with the presence in the Macclesfield library of several copies of works presented to Chamberlayne including Miscellanea Berolinensia ad incrementum scientiarum Berlin 1710 inscribed by Dr. Daniel Ernst Jablonski likely acquired by Parker after the 1724 sale of the library of Chamberlayne pere et fils further suggests a close connection between the two. A printed postscript to the dedication of this work also directed by Chamberlayne at 'My Lord' Parker discusses the disagreement over 'the Differential Calculation as the Invention thereof which I think is every where ascribed to the late Mons. Liebnitz' and 'no where attributed as it ought to our own Countryman Sir Isaac Newton the First Mathematician in the World' and shares with his readership that 'Dr. Keill.has done our British Philosopher justice; and fully proved that which Mr. L did in some manner acknowledge to me when I attempted to reconcile these two Great Men that Sir I.N. might be the first inventor'. Although not a presentation copy per se given the connection between the translator and early owner this is surely one of the most interesting copies available of this significant work documenting the work of the French academicians. . First edition. 8vo. Printed for W. Innys unknown

THEATRE MANUSCRIPT - Henriette Paris 1740
<p><strong> XVIIIth c. THEATRE – FEMINISM</strong></p><p><strong> AN <em>AVANT-GARDE</em> PLAY ON <em>"WOMEN'S CONSENT" </em></strong></p><p><strong> EXTREMELY RARE MANUSCRIPT BY FONTENELLE WITH CORRECTIONS </strong></p><p><strong> MANUSCRIPT</strong></p><p><strong> FONTENELLE Bernard le Bovier de</strong></p><p><strong> <em>Henriette</em> Paris 1740 </strong>32 pp.</p><p><strong> A precious autograph manuscript with corrections and variants of this innovative comedy written by Fontenelle in his eighties. It is the penultimate play he ever wrote. </strong></p><p>This comedy belongs to the theatre of the 18th century: a world of gallantry and sentiment centered on amorous sparring. <strong>But Fontenelle takes it further—although rooted in 18th-century conventions <em>Henriette</em> proves avant-garde in its critical perspective on women's roles in society and marriages of convenience</strong>. Far from being a mere comedy of manners it anticipates some Enlightenment ideas especially regarding female emancipation.</p><p><strong>It even contains an unusually forward-thinking development on women's consent Act I Scene 1: <em>"All that's missing is a trifle a word of consent."</em></strong></p><p>Our manuscript—which ends at Act IV Scene 4— shows traces of edits and revisions by Fontenelle ; some phrases have been crossed out or rewritten.</p><p><strong>A rare and invaluable glimpse into the making of an 18th-century play. </strong></p>

CONVERSATIONS ON THE PLURALITY OF WORLDS . Translated from the Last Paris Edition. Wherein are Many Improvements Throughout; and Some New Observations on Several Late Discoveries Which Have Been Made in the Heavens. By William Gardiner Esq
London: Printed for A. Bettesworth 1715. 12mo pp. 1-12 1-192; collates A 6 B-I 12 frontispiece eighteenth-century brown leather front and rear panels ruled and tooled in blind four raised bands on spine panel no title label. The first printing of the Gardiner edition. Fontenelle's ENTRETIENS SUR LA PLURALITE DES MONDES his most famous and frequently reprinted and translated book was first published in 1686. It is "the first example in French of a learned work placed within the reach of an educated but non specialized public." - DSB V 59. A popular account of the systems of Ptolemy Copernicus and Tycho Brahe in dialogue form the treatise "awakened general interest in astronomy and popularized the scientific system of inquiry; it also emphasized the small space occupied by man and this planet relatively to the rest of the universe. The work was ridiculed by Voltaire though it suggested his MICROMEGAS." - The Oxford Companion to French Literature 1959 p. 278. The first of the three seventeenth-century English translations was A DISCOURSE OF THE PLURALITY OF WORLDS . Translated into English by Sir W. D. Knight. Dublin: Printed by Andr. Crook and Sam. Helsham for William Norman 1687. The first edition of the Glanvill translation containing five dialogues was published in 1688 the same year Aphra Behn's translation of Fontenelle's book A DISCOVERY OF NEW WORLDS was published in London by William Canning. This Gardiner translation first published in 1715 is the first edition to include a translation of Fontenelle's sixth dialogue. "In all the literature of the cosmic voyage there was no book more popular than Fontenelle's CONVERSATIONS OF THE PLURALITY OF WORLDS. Translated again and again it seemed to the British peculiarly their own book read for at least a century both by men and by those 'ladies' of whom we have many a description one of whom would read it aloud to others who were busily engaged in making strawberry jam. This was a book indeed that warranted a subtitle I once discovered in an eighteenth-century popularization of astronomy: 'Science made clear to the Meanest Capacities even those of Women and Children.'" - Nicolson Voyages to the Moon pp. 58-9. Fontenelle's book "became a seminal influence on proto science fiction . This is one of the earliest works ever written popularizing science notably astronomy for the layman which it does by wittily presenting its speculations -- many about the possibility of life on other worlds -- in the form of conversations after dinner between the author and a marquise." - Clute and Nicholls eds The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction 1993 p. 437.

Éléments de la Géometrie de lInfini suite des memoires de lAcademie Royale des Sciences
Paris: De LImprimerie Royale 1727. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. 4to 249 x 187mm. 26 548 pages. Title with woodcut royal printers device fleur-de-lis three under crown. Folding engraved plate of figures of planes. Contemporary mottled calf gilt marbled endpapers spine gilt in compartments with morocco lettering label ELEMENTS DE LA GEOMETRIE; occasional toning light soiling and minor stains on title light marginal dampstaining mostly in middle of volume wormtrail and dampstaining in blank upper margins toward end few stains in upper margin of plate nothing severe a good book in contemporary binding. Near contemporary ink inscription French surname Baudoin on end-leaf another instance cancelled and No. 17 on title. 1727 first edition of Fontenelles published theories on inifinitesimal calculus plenty in philosophical dialogue. <br/><br/>While Éléments de la Géometrie de lInfini was praised by Alexis Fontaine des Bertins as an inspiration Fontenelles contemporary mathematicians did not consider his book to be a mathematical work. Fontenelles main desire in line with early-Enlightenment ideals was to make science accessible to the layman. His work laid the foundations for such discussion by taking a philosophical approach to the calculus of infinity writing in a novelistic style. For infinity Fontenelle studied the curvatures of the plane curves using the sines of angles of contingence although in practice Fontenelles theories contained many paradoxes. The result was that Fontenelles work was increased and expanded on by his supporters famously by the Jesuit mathematician Louis-Betrand Castel. In addition Fontenelles work was the basis on Fontaines 1731 work on the curvature of plane curves which presented new formulas on infinity and was a highly praised work in the Paris Academy. OCLC locates several institutional copies in the US additionally held in microform. Fontenelles is a classic and fundamental textbook work on geometry from the French Enlightenment-era still containing valuable points. De LImprimerie Royale hardcover books

Fontenelle's Dialogues of the Dead In Three Parts. I Dialogues of the Antients. II. The Atients with the Moderns. III. The Moderns. Translated from the French. With a Reply to Some Remarks in a Critique call'd The Judgment of Pluto &c. And Two Original Dialogues.
London:: Jacob Tonson 1708. 1708. Sm. 8vo. ii l 2 209 1 pp. Original blind- and gilt-stamped calf later gilt-stamped black leather spine label raised bands; rebacked preserving original spine inner joints reinforced with brown cloth tape covers splitting at pp. 62-63 upper cover scratched. Embossed ownership stamps of S. G. Morten heraldic bearing: crowned eagle wings raised. Good. Early edition in English of the author's Nouveaux dialogues des morts. Fontenelle was one of the earliest authors of "popular science" texts. While not much of a researcher himself he found great success expounding the discoveries of his contemporaries in such a way that a broad audience could make sense of them. In his own time his popularity as an author among educated French society was second only to Voltaire and he was in fact "described by Voltaire as having the most universal mind produced by the era of Louis XIV" – Britannica. Fontenelle's Dialogues of the Dead was very popular at the time of its publication and the basic conceit of the book is still employed by authors today. In the work Fontenelle imagines dialogues between great minds of various eras such as the philosophers Socrates and Montaigne or the physicians Erasistratus and William Harvey. This allows the imagined speakers to present their views in a naturalistic way making them much more palatable to lay readers who might have difficulty sloughing through more scholarly works like On the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals.

Suite des Eloges des Academiciens de L'Academie Royale des Sciences morts depuis l'an M.DCC.XXII.
Paris:: Chez la Veuve Brunet fils. . . et Marc Bordelet 1733. 1733. 12mo. viii 422 misnumbered "322" 2 pp. Frontis. engraved portrait. of Fontenelle – is trimmed folded at the upper and lower edges by "Crepy rue St. Jacques au lion d'Argent" title woodcut vignette. Original gilt-stamped calf gilt-stamped spine label raised bands. Inscription on title: "O.R. lousin aet coner". Very good copy with a handsome binding. "Extra-illustrated" with an added engraved bound-in folding frontispiece. This edition of the author's eulogies includes fourteen members of the Academie des Sciences who died between 1725 and 1730. There were two issues of this work printed in 1733: one showing "Brunet fils and Marc Bordelet the other issue showing only Marc Bordelet's name as publisher. They also feature a resetting of the type at least for the title-page and a different title woodcut vignette. There was an earlier 1731 Dutch edition of the Eloges printed by Isaac van der Kloot but I have been unable to determine if the biographies contained therein are the same. A note indicates this was also re-issued as miscellany works Oeuvres diverses of Fontenelle in 1736 see pt. 4. Fontenelle was a prolific biographer of notable persons publishing also a series of Dialogues with famous past historical figures. His Eloges commenced with a 1699 work on Claude Bourdelin. He also issued collective editions starting in 1708. This is the first 'separate' edition of the "Suite" containing biographies of 14 scientific notables. "It was Bernard Bovier de Fontenelle 1657-1757 who by his eulogies of scientists first bridged the gap between the scientific communities and the world at large . the eloges of the old Academy of Sciences acquainted laymen with a discipline that was at once esoteric by its novelty and forbidding by its terminology and methodology. Hence the eloges aside from the other functions they performed in the service of science also served as a public relations organ in the same manner as journals textbooks public lectures literary dialogues scientific expositions and cabinets de physique and d'histoire naturelle" - Charles Bennett Paul Science and immortality: the Eloges of the Paris Academy of Sciences 1699-1791 Berkeley: University of California Press 1980. pages 1-2.

A very clean and tight copy. Fine. FIRST EDITION of an extensive treatise on the principles of calculus by Bernard Fontenelle the distinguished French philosopher and scientist who is famous for his book on the plurality of worlds. Through his friend Varignon Fontenelle made the acquaintance of the Parisian scientific circle and became friends with Nicolas de Malezieu and l'Hopital. Fontenelle wrote the preface to l'Hopital's Analyse des infiniment petits pour l'intelligence des lignes courbes 11690. "In it he displayed his interest in the notion of infinity and his talent as a historian; in a few pages he retraces the history of the mathematical study of curved lines from Archimedes to Newton and Leibniz. . . In 1727 he published his Elements de la geometrie de l'infini which he had worked on for a long time probably since the period of his preface to the Analyse des infiniment petits. . . . According to Fontenelle none of the geometers who had invented or employed the calculus of infinity had given a general theory to it; that is what he proposed to do. The work is divided into a preface relating to the history of this branch of calculus and into two main part. . . 'the infinite series or in progression of numbers' and then examines 'the infinite in straight and curved lines. . . .'" DSB. / Bernard Fontenelle was born at Rouen and pursued a literary career. Fontenelle dabbled in poetry and writing for the stage but it is better known for his work as secretary to the Academy of Sciences. Among his published works are Entretiens sur la pluralite des mondes 1686 the Histoire du renouvellement de l'Academie des Sciences 1708-1722 and a number of eloges of the members.
