---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE GRAND DE MARGE ---- "CARNOT's Géométrie de position is important contribution to modern geometry. While G. Monge revelled mainly in three-dimensional geometry, CARNOT confined himself to that of two. By his effort to explain the meaning of the negative sign in geometry he established a geometry of position, which, however, is different fromm the geometrie der lage" of to-day. He invented a class of general theorems on projective properties of figures, which have since been pushed to geat extent by J.V. Poncelet, Michel Chasles and others. Thanks to Carnot's researches, says J.G. Darboux, "the conceptions of the inventors of analytic geometry, Descartes and Fermat, retook alongside the infinitesimal calculus of Leibniz and Newton the place they had lost, yet should never have ceased to occupy".

This field centers on Lie groups, partial differential systems, and differential geometry ; these, chiefly through Cartan's contributions, are now closely interwoven and constitute a unified and powerful tool".

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE NON COUPE ET NON ROGNE ---- "CAUCHY was a prolific and profound mathematician. He was one of the leaders in infusing rigor into analysis. His researches extended over the field of series, of imaginaries, theory of numbers, differential equations, theory of substitutions, theory of functions, determinants, mathematical astronomy, light, elasticity, etc, covering pretty much the whole realm of mathematics, pure and applies". (Cajori pp. 368/369) ---- "Le mémoire de Cauchy sur les intégrales définies avec limites de nombres complexes, inaugura sa belle carrière de créateur indépendant ; personne ne l'a égalé dans le développement de la théorie des fonctions d'une variable complexe, dont Gauss avait établi le théorème fondamental en 1811, trois ans avant Cauchy. Le mémoire de Cauchy, abondamment détaillé, ne fut publié qu'en 1827 ; ce retard s'explique par la longueur du travail, environ 180 pages...". (E.T.

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- Première partie SEULE PUBLIEE ---- "... In 1846 a chair of higher geometry was created for CHASLES at the Sorbone and he remained there until his death... He published highly original work... His work was marked by its unity of purpose and method. The purpose was to show not only that geometry, by which he meant synthetic geometry, had methods as powerful and fertile for the discovery and demonstration of mathematical truths as those of algebraic analysis, but that these methods had an important advantage, in that they showed more clearly the origin and connections of these truths. The methods were those introduced by L. Carnot, G. Monge and V. Poncelet and included a systematic use of sensed magnitudes, imaginary elements, the principle of duality and transformations of figures... Chasles wrote two textbooks for his course at the Sorbonne. The first of these, the Traité de géométrie supérieure is based on the elementary theories of the cross ratio, homographic ranges and pencils and involution... In the case of the cross ratio, which Chasles called the anharmonic ratio, he was anticipated by A. Moebius. However, it was chasles who developed the theory and showed that the use of sensed magnitudes and imaginary elements gives to geometry the freedom and power of analysis...3.

Il ne serait pas possible d'indiquer ici tous les passages modifiés ; c'est par la comparaison attentive des deux textes que le lecteur pourra se rendre compte de leurs différences...". (Préface du traducteur, tome 3) ---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "CLEBSCH held, from 1858 to 1863, the chair of theoretical mechanics at the Polytechnicum in Carlsruhe. The study of Salmon's works led him into algebra and geometry. In 1863, he accepted a position at the University of Giesen, where he worked in conjunction with Paul Gordan. In 1868, CLEBSCH went to Göttingen and remained there until his death. He worked successively at the following subjects : mathematical physics, the calculus of variations and partial differential equations of the first order, the general theory of curves and surfaces, Abelian functions and their use in geometry, the theory of invariants and "Flächenabbildung". He proved theorems on the pentahedron enunciated by SYLVESTER and STEINER ; he made systematic use of "deficiency" as a fundamental principle in the classification of algebraic curves. At the beginning of his career, CLEBSCH had shown how elliptic functions could be advantageously applied to Malfatti's problem. The idea involved therein, viz. the use of higher transcendentals in the study of geometry, led him to his greatest discoveries. Not only did he apply Abelian functions to geometry but conversely, he drew geometry into the service of Abelian functions. His study of curves and surfaces began with the determination of the points of contact of lines which meet a surface in four consecutive points. CLEBSCH's investigaton theron is a most beautiful piece of analysis".

---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- Babson N° 189 : "The leibnitz-Newton controversy. A very complete compilation covering this famous controversy" ---- "This is the celebrated report drawn up by order of the Royal Society and consisting of a selection from the correspondence of John Collins with some of the most celebrated mathematicians of the time, which was to substantiate Keill's charges against Leibnitz of having derived the fundamental ideas of his calculus from papers by Newton, said to have been communicated to him through Collins and Oldenbrug. Although greatly biased in Newton's favour, the work is nevertheless a repertory of the utmost value to the history of science. It was not until De morgan reviewed the case (1846) that a greater spirit of fairness was shown. Probably both these great men had the same idea independently".
