1740réf. 39297Paris De Bure 1740. 4to. Contemporary half calf raised bands richly gilt spine and and red speckled edges. Leather title-label to spine. Corners neatly repaired. Title in red/black. 2 III-XXX 2 Errata 148 pp. many diagrams. The "Preface" and the first 18 leaves of the text with a foxing to lower margin and right corners. The "Preface" is an historical account of Newton's method "la sublime méthode" written by Buffon. Without the leaf "Extrait des Registres". The influential first French edition of Newton's important work which constitutes the most extensive description of the mathematical method he used in his famous "Principia" the method of infinitesimals which was already written about 1671 but not published until 1736 i.e. posthumously with the title "Method of Fluxions and Infinite Series.". In this work "Newton stated clearly the fundamental problem of the calculus: the relation of quantities being given to find the relation of the fluxions of these and conversely. In conformity with this problem and the new notation Newton then gave examples of his method.In this book Newton introduced his characteristic notation and conceptions. He regarded his variable quantities as generated by the continuous motion of points lines and planes rather than as aggregates of infinitesimal elements the view which had appeared in "De analysi".The rate of generation Newton called a "fluxion" designating it by means of a letter with a dot over it a "pricked letter" the quantity generates he called a "fluent". Boyer The History of the Calculus.Colson in his preface to the first edition from 1736 says: "I gladly embraced the opportunity that was put into my hands of publishing this posthumous work because I found it had been composed with that view and design. And that my own Country-men might first enjoy the benefit of this publication I resolved upon giving it an English translation with some additional remarks of my own I thought it highly injurious to the memory and reputation of the real Author as well as invidious to the glory of our own Nation that so curious and useful a piece should be any longer suppress'd and confined to a few private hands which ought to be communicated to all the learned World for general Instruction.It was through the French translations of his works that Newton came to play the seminal role as the most important of mathematicians that he did in France and particularly the years around 1740 when the present work appeared in French for the first time were seminal to the scientific development in France where the likes of Voltaire had only just made the nation acquinted with the work of the great mathematician.

1820réf. 136164London: R. Ackermann 1820. First illustrated edition First illustrated edition with plates watermarked 1816-20. By 1820 Rudolph Ackermann 1764-1834 had established himself as one of the premium publishers of colour plate books in Britain largely thanks to a number of works on English topography starting with The Microcosm of London in 1808. A Picturesque Tour Along the Rhine was the first title in Ackermann's "Picturesque Tour" series and was issued in six monthly parts. While Gerning's text was originally published in German in 1819 the introduction makes it clear that Ackermann was already working on his illustrated edition. Abbey suggests that "that the text was commissioned by Ackermann as were the views for the plates". Quarto 343 x 280 mm. With 24 hand-coloured aquatints and one large folding map with colour highlights. Includes the list of subscribers. Finely bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in dark green half morocco green buckram boards raised bands spine lettered in gilt compartments and boards ruled in single gilt fillets top edge gilt pale green endpapers. Spine slightly sunned boards a touch scuffed and rubbed minor offsetting from plates occasional light spotting a couple of creases to the Bornhofen plate and a small repair to the margin on the Biebrich plate.

A VERY SCARCE ISSUE OF THESE IMPORTANT MATHEMATICAL LECTURES. These algebraic lectures given by Newton at Cambridge were first published by William Whiston in 1707. Whiston “extracted from Newton a somewhat reluctant permission to print it. Among several new theorems on various points in algebra and the theory of equations Newton here enunciates the following important results. He explains that the equation whose roots are a solution of a given problem will have as many roots as their are different probable cases.He extends Descartes rules of signs to give limits to the number of imaginary roots.The most interesting theorem contained in the work is his attempt to find a rule analogous to that of Descartes for real roots by which the number of imaginary roots of a equation can be determined.” Later with the idea of stimulating annotations to the work Gravedsande published SPECIMIN COMMENTARII IN ARITHMETICAM UNIVERSLAEM; and Maclaurins’s ALGEBRA seems to have been written in response to this.

1804réf. 42382New York 1804. Single sheet written in ink script on recto. A deed 8" x 12-3/4" recording the sale of the 17-year-old "Negroe Boy Isaac" to Robert Weir by Catherine Brinckly 12 January 1804. Signed at the end "Catherine Brinkly" and witness John Brinckly. Toned old folds stabilized with text preserved by matting in a contemporary frame. Good plus. British policy in the early 17th century under the Duke of York owner of substantial interests in the Royal African Company encouraged importation of slaves to New York. By the early 18th century slavery was a cornerstone of the City's economy. Slave Codes rigidly regulated the activities and lives of slaves. But by 1804 slavery in New York was in decline thanks to tireless emancipation efforts of the New York Manumission Society Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. In 1799 New York passed an Act emancipating everyone born after 1799. But "It was not until March 31 1817 that the New York legislature ended two centuries of slavery within its borders setting July 4 1827 as the date of final emancipation and making New York the first state to pass a law for the total abolition of legal slavery. When Emancipation Day finally arrived the number of emancipated men and women freed was roughly 4600." Celebrations and parades occurred throughout the state web site of Historical Society of the New York Courts. By this deed Isaac became the property of Robert Weir 1770-1825 a prosperous New York merchant from Scotland who had recently married Mary Katherine Brinckley Brinkley 1783-1840. Mary Katherine Weir is known as composer of the song "The Lord of the Castle." Their infant son Robert Walter Weir 1803-1889 just six months old when this deed was signed became a well-known Hudson River School painter; two of his sons also became famous artists.

An anonymous Dutch edition of Philosophia appeared in 1667 and new Latin editions in 1673 and 1674. Evidence for the staying power of the work and the controversies which surrounded it is found in the fact that it underwent a fourth edition long after Meyer's death in 1776. Rare Quarto edition which preceded the 12mo of the same year. La Peyrere is considered to be the father of Biblical criticism. He asserted in Praeadamitae that there were human beings before Adam. His approach to Biblical scholarship argued that the Bible was just the story of the Jewish people not all of humanity. His book and heretical views were quickly banned. La Peyrere was eventually arrested but offered a half-hearted renunciation of his views to escape punishment. La Peyrere went on to engage in polemics with Richard Simon famous defender of the Bible. A rare and important book in the Radical Enlightenment identified as one of the wicked books of the late 17th century. .the wicked sedition which commenced with La Peyreres Prae-Adamitae gained impetus with the utterly licentious dissipated dictionary of Koerbagh that shameless book the Philosophai S. Scripturae and Hobbes Leviathan and culminated in the Tractatus- Theologico-Politicus and Ethics of Spinoza Israel 367. CONDITION: Very Good in slightly soiled contemporary vellum over boards. Contemporary handwriting on titlepage. Dampstaining in corner of first pages causing ruff edges. Small repair in corner title. Some slight dampstaining in corner map. First edition.
