‎"POISEUILLE, (JEAN LÉONARD MARIE). - ESTABLISHING ""POISEUILLE'S LAW"" OF THE FLOW OF LIQUIDS IN TUBES.‎

Reference : 49455

(1840)

‎Recherches experimentale sur les mouvement des liquides dans les tubes de très petits diamètres. (+ 2 Suites, all).‎

‎Paris, Bachelier, 1840-41. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences"", Tome XI, No 24 a. 26, Tome XII, No 2. (3 entire issues offered). Pp. 933-990, pp. 1021-1067 a. pp. 28-124. Poiseuille's paper: pp. 961-967, 1041-1048 a. pp. 112-115.‎


‎First printing of this importent paper in physiology and hydrodynamics, establishing the law which was later named after him. ""Together with Hagen, Poiseuille established the dependence of the flow on the driving pressure, the diameter and the length of the tube and on the viscosity of the fluid. This relation, which is named after him, is fundamental in all hydrodynamic considerations of the circulatory system,""(Gedeon ""Science and Technology in Medicine"", p. 188).""Poiseuille’s interest in blood circulation led him to experiment on the flow and outflow of distilled water in capillary tubes with diameters ranging from 0.03 mm. to 0.14 mm. Such experiments had been carried out before, especially by Franz Joseph von Gerstner and Pierre-Simon Girard"" but since they used tubes with larger diameters, their experiments were disturbed by turbulence. In his 1840 paper, ""Recherches expérimentales sur le movement des liquides dans les tubes de très-petits diamètres,"" Poiseuille announced the law Q = k(D4p/L), where Q is the volume discharged in unit time, k is a constant, p is the pressure difference in mm. of mercury at the two ends of the tube, D is the diameter, and L is the length. He also measured the variation of Q with the temperature T (from 0° C. to 45° C.) and found Q = 1836.724 × (1 + 0.0336793T + 0.0002209936T2)(D4p/L), which agrees within 0.5 percent with modern values. Poiseuille also found that the law was not valid if the length L (as a function of the diameter) was below a certain limit.""(DSB).Garrison & Morton: 768‎

‎"L'HÔPITAL (L'HOSPITAL), (GUILLAUME FRANÇOIS ANTOINE DE). - FIRST TREATISE ON THE DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS.‎

Reference : 50313

(1768)

‎Analyse des infinite Petits. Suivie d'un nouveau Commentaire pour l'intelligence des endroits les plus difficiles de cet Ouvrage. Par l'Autheur du Guide des jeunes Mathématiciens dans l'étude des Lecons de Mathematique de M. l'Abbé de la Caille.‎

‎Avignon, Veuve Girard & Francois Seguin, 1768. 8vo. Contemp. full mottled calf. Wear to top of spine. Richly gilt spine, titlelabel with gilt lettering. (2),XXXI,380 pp. and 8 folded engraved plates. On verso of title-page a stamped exlibris. On inside frontcover an engraved exlibris ""John Cookney"". Internally clean, printed on good paper.‎


‎This edition of the first treatise on the differential calculus, first published 1696, is the first with the commentaries by the famous French astronomer Nicolas-Louis De Lacaille, taken from his noted ""Leçons élémentaires de mathématiques"".""The Analyse des infiniment petits was the first textbook of the differential calculus. The existence of several commentaries on it - one by Varignon (1725) - attests to its popularity. The question of its intellectual ownership has been much debated. Jean Bernoulli, who is known to have instructed L’Hospital in the calculus about 1691, complained after L’Hospital’s death that he (Bernoulli) had not been given enough credit for his contributions. L’Hospital himself, in the introduction to his books, freely acknowledges his indebtedness to Leibniz and to the Bernoulli brothers. On the other hand, he states that he regards the foundations provided by him as his own idea, although they also have been credited by some to Jean Bernoulli. However, these foundations can be found, less explicitly, also in Leibniz, although Leibniz made it clear that he did not accept L’Hospital’s Platonistic views on the reality of infinitely small and infinitely large quantities.""(DSB).‎

‎Idées d'un Militaire pour la Disposition des Troupes confiées jeunes officiers dans la Défense et l'Attaque des Petits Postes. Dédié a M. le Duc du Chatelet. - [THE FIRST BOOK SUCCESSFULLY PRINTED WITH COLOURS]‎

‎Paris, de l'Imprimerie de Franc. Amb. Didot l'Ainé. Chez Alexandre Jombert, jeune, 1783. 4to. Nice contemp. red hmorocco with 5 raised bands and richly gilt compartments. Corners restored. Light scratching to boards.Stamps on htitle. A small stamp on titlepage.. (14), 116, 60 pp. + 11 leaves of plate-description, on which the plates are mounted at top, 2 pp. of approbation and privilege. On thick, good paper. A very nice, crisp and complete copy w. clear colours. Apart from the stamps on the htitle, a fine, large and clean copy. The dedication-leaf (A monsieur Le Duc du Chatelet) with his large engraved coat of arms handcoloured.‎


‎First edition of the main work of the French military engineer Fossé (1734 - 1812). This military work, divided into two sections, one dealing with military strategies concerning defending and attacking, the other dealing with military plans and how to construct maps, is especially renowned for the extraordinary coloured plates by LOUIS MARION BONNET.The plates, depicting plans and maps, show for one of the first times the perfection of the illustrating-process called the CRAYON MANNER adapted to colour-printing, and the work is probably the first book printed using this technique. The technique of printing with colour only began about 20 years before this work was issued during the first many years, though, many attempts failed, and it wasn't till Bonnet came up with the coloured crayon manner that it was really a success. Bonnet increased the number of plates in order to make it possible to print with several colours. The crayon manner became a great success in Europe and is a fore-runner of the lithography-process. All the plates are signed by Bonnet and are in at least four colours.This work is also renowned for its splendid typography that later on became known as the Didot-style. Graesse II:620. Brunet II:1354.‎

‎"LAGRANGE, JOSEPH LOUIS.‎

Reference : 35989

(1797)

‎Théorie des fonctions analytiques, contenant les principes du calcul différentiel, dégagés de toute considération d'infiniment petits ou d'évanouissans, de limites ou de fluxions et réduits à l'analyse algébrique des quantités finies. - [FOUNDATION OF ANALYSIS]‎

‎Paris, De L'Imprimerie de la République, An V (1797). 4to. Uncut and partially unopened. Contemporary manuscript-binding. Provenance: With the exlibris of Stillman Drake - one of the most renown Galileo scholars. Some light brown spotting through out. Otherwise a very good copy. (4),VIII,276 pp.‎


‎First edition, first printing. Several bibliographies mention that there are two issues of the first edition, with no priority established - one with 277 numbered pages and another with 276 numbered pages which compromises Vol. III of the ninth cahier of the 'Journal de l'Ecole Polytechnique' (see Norman 1258 for example). However, the second mentioned printing was first published in 1801 (See Prof. Craig G. Fraser's article in ""Landmark Writings in Western Mathematics 1640-1940"", pp. 258-276).Lagrange is the great formulizer of his time. In his masterpiece 'Méchanique Analytique' from 1788 he freed Newtonian mechanics from synthetic and geometrical reasoning by reducing the theory of mechanics and the art of solving problems in that field to the mere solution of general formulas. In this work, the 'Théorie des fonctions analytiques', Lagrange attempted to give calculus an algebraic foundation and avoid the employment of infinitely small quantities. In this work Lagrange developed a systematic foundation of the calculus. Throughout the eighteenth century a critical attitude had developed both within mathematics and within general scientific culture. Bishop George Berkeley had already in 1734 in his work 'The Analyst' called attention to what he perceived as logical weaknesses in the reasonings of the calculus arising from the employment of infinitely small quantities. And by the end of the century a growing interest in the foundations of analysis was reflected in the decisions of the academies of Berluin and Saint Petersburg to devote prize competitions to the metaphysics of the calculus and the nature of the infinite. In Original contributions: Lagrange's conception of theorem-proving in analysis" his derivation of what is today called the Lagrange remainder in the Taylor expansion of a function his formulation of the multipiler rule in the calculus of variations and his account of sufficiency questions in the calculus of variations.Barchas 1198.
