‎Louis Armand de Lom D’Arce, baron de Lahontan, homme d’armes, ethnographe et philosophe avant la lettre, parti en Amérique du Nord en 1683, il participa à la campagne française contre les Iroquois au lac Ontario en 1684 et fut désigné pour commander le Fort Saint-Joseph (aujourd'hui Niles, dans l’état du Michigan) en 1687. En 1688-89, il explora les rives des rivières Fox et Wisconsin ainsi que la région alentour de ce qui est aujourd'hui Green Bay, dans le Wisconsin. Il retourna en France en 1692, mais dut prendre la fuite vers le Portugal l'année suivante en raison d'un différend avec Jacques-François de Monbeton, gouverneur de Placentia (Plaisance) et d'Acadie. En 1703, il publia Nouveaux voyages de M. le baron de Lahontan dans l'Amérique septentrionale, ouvrage en deux volumes considéré comme le meilleur livre sur la Nouvelle France du XVIIe siècle. Le premier volume se présente sous la forme de 25 lettres contenant la description des lieux que Lahontan visita ainsi que les récits de ses voyages. Le second volume est la suite du premier, Mémoires de l’Amérique septentrionale, et décrit en détail la géographie, le commerce et les habitants de l'Amérique du Nord. Il se termine par Petit dictionnaire de la langue des sauvages, qui se compose principalement d'un glossaire de termes algonquins et de leurs équivalents français ainsi que de quelques termes hurons. Il influença l'opinion de penseurs du XVIIIe siècle tels que Voltaire, Montesquieu et Jonathan Swift. Lahontan came to New France in 1683 as captain of a regiment which he led in expeditions against the Iroquois. He traveled west in 1687 with Duluth and was given command of Fort St. Joseph on the St. Clair River. He left this post in 1688, venturing further west by the Fox-Wisconsin portage and reached the upper Mississippi.After his return he published his travelogues in the form of letters from 1703, which were very successful and caused a scandal, because his sympathy was with the savages and his criticism of European civilization and religion. The volume also includes a small dictionary of the "Language of the Wild", which begins on page 199 of the second volume. His work is considered one of the first comprehensive descriptions of the western part of the continent and influed the philosopher of the century. M1-Et2‎

A larger paper on the discovery was published in 1877 in "Annales de Chimie et Physique". In 1879 Bausbaudran was awarded the Davy Medal for his discovery of Gallium. "In 1875 Boisbaudran spectroscopically discovered a new element gallium which he found in zinc blende from a mine in Hautes-Pyrénées. Continuing his work in Wurtz’s laboratory in Paris he was a able to obtain the free metal by electrolysis of a solution of the hydroxide in potassium hydroxide. Gallium Boisbaudran realized was the "eka-aluminum" predicted by Mendeleev and was the first of Mendeleev’s predicted elements to be isolated. Boisbaudran’s finding thus provided valuable evidence for the validity of Mendeleev’s periodic classification of the elements."DSB."Lecoq de Boisbaudran announced his discovery by spectroscopic analysis of the new element gallium. Mendeleev had first predicted its existence and had named it eka-aluminium. The discovery was made in the author's private laboratory in a specimen of zinc blende from the Pierrefitte mine in the Angelès Valley in the Hautes Pyrénées. He describes how on the evening of 27 August 1875 he detected the existence of this new element which he named "gallium" in honor of France Gallia. A month later he "performed in Wurtz's laboratory in Paris.a series of experiments to prove that gallium.is a true element"Weeks. he discusses how he eventually isloated small amounts of pure metallic gallium and determined its physical and chemical properties. The paper the paper offered first describes gallium compounds e.g. ammonium gallium alum chloride oxide and sulphate."Roy G. Neville II p. 29. </em> unknown‎

Leibniz' 2 papers on the catenary curve paper 1-2 offered here was written at the instigation of Jacques Bernoulli. Following the example of Blaise Pascal who had initiated in 1658 a contest for the construction of the cycloid Leibniz also provoked the geometers of his time by challenging them to submit at the fixed date of mid-1691 their geometric method for the construction of the catenary curve. Leibniz later provided the answer followed by Johann Bernoulli and Huygens.'These two papers are a historical account of the origin of the study of this transcendental curve and at the same time the first physical-geometric construction showing the species-relationship between the catenary and the logarithmic curves as two companion curves; one arithmetic the other geometric. All of the differentials of the catenary curve are arithmetic means of corresponding differentials of the logarithmic curve; and all of the differentials of the logarithmic curve are geometric means of the catenary.'"The Catenary is the form of a hanging fully flexible rope or chain the name comes from "catena" which means 'chain' suspended on two points. The interest in this curve originated with Galileo who thought that is was a parabola. Young Christiaan Huygens proved in 1646 that this cannot be the case. What the actual form was remained an open question till 1691 when Leibniz Johann Bernoulli and the then much older Huygens sent solutions to the problem to the "Acta" Jakob Bernoulli 1690 Johann Bernoulli 1691 Huygens 1691 and Leibniz 1691 - these 4 1691-papers offered here - in which the previous year Jakob Bernoulli had challenged mathematicians to solve it. As published the solutions did not reveal the methods but through later publications of manuscripts these methods have been known. Huygens applied with great paper 4 virtuosity the by then classical methods of 17th century infinitesimal mathematics and he needed all his ingenuity to reach a satisfactory solution. Leibniz the papers 1-2 and Bernoulli paper 3 applying the new Calculus found the solutions in a much direct way. In fact the catenary was a test-case between the old and the new style in the study of curves and only because the champion of the old style was a giant like Huygens the test-case can formally be considered as ending in a draw." Grattan-Guiness in "From the Calculus to Set Theory 1630-1910.".The paper by JACOB BERNOULLI no. 5 offered here is a milestone papers as it marks the invention of the "SYSTEM OF POLAR COORDINATES" with points located by reference to a fixed point and a line through that point. Although newton had earlier also devised such a coordinate system in 1671 his work was not known so that the credit for the discovery generally goes to Bernoulli.
