174014160Paris: de L’Imprimerie Royale 1740. Complete with errata’s and original blank leaves two of three finely engraved frontispieces chapter vignettes ornamental head and tail pieces and 82 folding plates. Full mottled calf rebacked the corners a bit worn. Interior is lightly toned with some browning on the preliminaries and last leaves. Generally this is an excellent set. First editions of these three volumes from a series published by the Academy of Sciences. It is a summary of the activities and inventions that have been made and contains the most important discoveries of the time. These periodicals which were at the forefront of scientific development during the Enlightenment contain works produced by an elite class of French scientist for the years 1722 1731 and 1740. Each volume provided an overview of advancements in math and science for each year and the writings therein shaped the world’s understanding of physics mathematics astronomy anatomy and other fields of science. They further provide invaluable historical data such as meteorological and astrological records for each year. <br /> <br /> The memoirs for 1722 include data recorded on both a lunar and solar eclipse as well as other astronomical observations by Jacques Cassini 1677-1756 best know for completing his fathers work on determining the meridian of Paris. The distinguished astronomer provided further research on lunar eclipses in the memoirs of 1731 where he is in great company alongside distinguished mathematicians Alexis-Claude Clairaut 1713-1765 Pierre Bouguer 1698-1758 known for his work in physics photometry and hydrography and the foremost proponent of the Newtonian movement in France Pierre de Maupertuis 1698-1759. Of special note in the 1731 memoirs is Maupertuis’s ballistic arithmetic which was used to try to better understand the movement of the earth and its gravity. Too an article by Clairaut on new formulas for finding the center of gravity. These articles contributed greatly to a better understanding of the earth’s shape and the mechanics of its rotation particularly Bouguer’s essay on the tendency of objects set in motion to move in a curvilinear fashion. The 1740 edition contains Cassini De Thury’s De la Maridienne de Paris. which was an important step in the process of mapping the shape of the earth. Cassini 1714-1784 representing the third generation of the distinguished family of astronomers was the first to question <br /> <br /> <br /> Picard’s measurements which had been used to map the Maridian of Paris. Clairaut’s essay on integral calculus in the same volume which established the existence of an integrating factor for linear differential equations was an important step in the history of mathematics and Mairan’s treatise on reflection and refraction of light and the human eye was essential to the advancement of optics. Mairan 1678-1771 would set the foundation for optical theory with this treatise. de L’Imprimerie Royale unknown

16759Women's Education Movement. Pamphlet/ Volume 14 of 17: Acts for the State of Massachusetts January 12th Session 1804 Incorporation of Bradford Academy Containing the original incorporation of Bradford Academy. Bradford opened as the first coeducational institution in Massachusetts but due to overwhelming interest from parents of girls with no other option for education Bradford soon transitioned to become the first all-female academy in Massachusetts and among the first in the United States in 1836. Only three examples of these early Incorporation Acts could not be found among Institutional Collections according to OCLC Worldcat. <br/><br/>Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial.When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." Young women were quick to step up to the challenge; as quickly as female colleges opened they filled up. But this document predates Seneca Falls by 40 years and Bradford was among the very first institutions to educate women in the United States. unknown books
18077FIRST EDITIONS. Publisher’s cloth many covered in protective brown paper. From the library of Robert S. Mullikan 1896-1986 winner of the 1966 Nobel Prize for chemistry. He was primarily responsible for the early development of molecular orbital method of computing the structure of molecules. His signature appears in Volumes 29-39. First printings. The biographical memoirs include a photograph and short biography of recently-deceased members of the National Academy of Sciences. Columbia University Press printed the Memoirs on behalf of the Academy through 1974; thereafter the Academy’s own press in Washington began publishing the books. Biographies of all members that passed away are included; we find such luminaries as Enrico Fermi Thomas Hunt Morgan Robert Andrew Millikan Leo Loeb William Castle Arthur Compton Robert Yerkes Herbert Hoover Leo Szilard Edwin Hubble Ernest Lawrence Herbert Evans Herbert Spencer Jennings Harlow Shapley Vannevar Bush and even Albert Einstein.

1764159337London: Printed by J. Bullock J. Spencer and J. Bullock junr. 1764. Good officers of Artillery and perfect Engineers Presented in a handsome period morocco a pair of notably scarce editions of regulations pertaining to the Royal Military Academy Woolwich; comprising the second recorded edition of the rules for the institution as a whole following that of 1741 together with the seemingly sole edition of the statutes relevant to officer-cadets specifically. We have traced no copy of either on auction records. The Academy - or "The Shop" as it was known colloquially - was established by Royal Warrant in 1741 for the training of "good officers of Artillery and perfect Engineers" its "gentlemen cadets" initially ranging in age between ten and thirty. The curriculum focused on mathematical theory and the scientific principles of gunnery and fortification employed to a practical end. It closed in 1939 and reopened in 1947 as the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. The present regulations were drawn up under the eye of John Manners marquess of Granby 1721-1770 who in 1763 became master-general of the ordnance; another edition was put out in 1776. Quarto 225 x 173 mm. Contemporary red morocco decorative gilt spine sides with gilt border comprising a dog-tooth roll enclosing a broad panel formed of multiple tools including stars and circlets gilt edge roll and turn-ins Nonpareil pattern marbled endpapers gilt edges. Binding a trifle rubbed and marked gilt at head of front board dulled and a little wormed loss to lower compartment of spine boards just slightly splayed internally clean and crisp; withal an attractive copy.
