In-12, broché, couverture de papier d'attente, 282, (5) p. de tables. Edition originale de ces essais moraux d'inspiration épicurienne, sous forme épistolaire: les femmes, l'amour et le mariage, la coquetterie, l'astrologie, la jalousie, les héroïnes d'opéra, l'amitié et l'amour, etc. Originale de Troyes, Toussaint Rémond de Saint-Mard (1682-1757) était le frère du mathématicien Rémond de Montmort. Critique de Fontenelle dont pourtant il imitait le style, comme lui épicurien et irréligieux, son modernisme lui attira les attaques de Desfontaines, de Fréron, mais le soutien de l’abbé Gédoyn. Selon Weller (II, p. 86), l'adresse serait fictive et l'ouvrage aurait été imprimé à La Haye par Scheurleer. (Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 21.641. Gay, III, 839) Quelques auréoles claires au titre. Ex. légèrement bruni. Bon exemplaire.

Ihre Zugehörigkeit zur Gattung der als authentischer Reisebericht ausgegebenen Reiseutopie und die Bezüge ihrer Rahmenhandlung auf aktuelle Ereignisse des vorangegangenen Jahrzehnts lassen erkennen, daß dieses Werk für das zeitgenössische Publikum bestimmt war. Doch Fontenelle hat seine Utopie nicht veröffentlicht, sie erschien erst im Jahre 1768 mit dem veränderten Titel: "La Republique des philosophes ou Histoire des Ajaoiens". Das Manuskript von der Hand Fontenelles wurde 1898 bei einer Bibliotheksversteigerung verkauft und ist seither verschollen. Fehler und Unstimmigkeiten im Text der Ausgabe von 1768 zeigen, daß Fontenelle keine abschließend bearbeitete Textfassung hinterlassen hat. … (Vorwort) ISBN 9783533031796353

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.

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.

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.
