Fontenelle lui-même qui imita Lucien.

Near contemporary ink inscription French surname Baudoin on end-leaf another instance cancelled and No. 17 on title. 1727 first edition of Fontenelles published theories on inifinitesimal calculus plenty in philosophical dialogue. <br/><br/>While Éléments de la Géometrie de lInfini was praised by Alexis Fontaine des Bertins as an inspiration Fontenelles contemporary mathematicians did not consider his book to be a mathematical work. Fontenelles main desire in line with early-Enlightenment ideals was to make science accessible to the layman. His work laid the foundations for such discussion by taking a philosophical approach to the calculus of infinity writing in a novelistic style. For infinity Fontenelle studied the curvatures of the plane curves using the sines of angles of contingence although in practice Fontenelles theories contained many paradoxes. The result was that Fontenelles work was increased and expanded on by his supporters famously by the Jesuit mathematician Louis-Betrand Castel. In addition Fontenelles work was the basis on Fontaines 1731 work on the curvature of plane curves which presented new formulas on infinity and was a highly praised work in the Paris Academy. OCLC locates several institutional copies in the US additionally held in microform. Fontenelles is a classic and fundamental textbook work on geometry from the French Enlightenment-era still containing valuable points. De LImprimerie Royale hardcover

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.
