170244534Paris Jean Boudot 1702. 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from "Mémoires de l'Academie des Sciences". Année 1699. With the fine engraved frontispiece and the titlepage to the volume. 22 pp. Stamped in blind on the 2 first leaves in margins. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of Fontenelle's famous program for the philosophy of science of the Enlightment stipulating the nature of scientific research in terms of the analytical geometry."From 1699 to 1740 Fontenelle devoted himself almost exclusively to his task of editing the Histoire de l’Académie royale des sciences . . . avec les mémoires de mathématique et de physique pour la même année tirés des registres de cette Académie. The volume for the year 1699 which appeared in 1702 opens with an untitled preface usually called "Préface sometimes "Discours préliminaire" sur l’utilitë des mathématiques et de la physique et sur les travaux de l’Académie the paper offered which contains essential material on the philosophy of science and is a sort of bridge between Descartes’s Discours de la méthode and Claude Bernard’s Introduction à l’étude de la médecine expérimentale. Here one finds the first literary expression of the idea of the interdependence of the sciences and of the constancy of the laws of nature." </em> unknown

1733RW1080Paris:: Chez la Veuve Brunet fils. . . et Marc Bordelet 1733. 1733. 12mo. viii 422 misnumbered "322" 2 pp. Frontis. engraved portrait. of Fontenelle – is trimmed folded at the upper and lower edges by "Crepy rue St. Jacques au lion d'Argent" title woodcut vignette. Original gilt-stamped calf gilt-stamped spine label raised bands. Inscription on title: "O.R. lousin aet coner". Very good copy with a handsome binding. "Extra-illustrated" with an added engraved bound-in folding frontispiece. This edition of the author's eulogies includes fourteen members of the Academie des Sciences who died between 1725 and 1730. There were two issues of this work printed in 1733: one showing "Brunet fils and Marc Bordelet the other issue showing only Marc Bordelet's name as publisher. They also feature a resetting of the type at least for the title-page and a different title woodcut vignette. There was an earlier 1731 Dutch edition of the Eloges printed by Isaac van der Kloot but I have been unable to determine if the biographies contained therein are the same. A note indicates this was also re-issued as miscellany works Oeuvres diverses of Fontenelle in 1736 see pt. 4. Fontenelle was a prolific biographer of notable persons publishing also a series of Dialogues with famous past historical figures. His Eloges commenced with a 1699 work on Claude Bourdelin. He also issued collective editions starting in 1708. This is the first 'separate' edition of the "Suite" containing biographies of 14 scientific notables. "It was Bernard Bovier de Fontenelle 1657-1757 who by his eulogies of scientists first bridged the gap between the scientific communities and the world at large . the eloges of the old Academy of Sciences acquainted laymen with a discipline that was at once esoteric by its novelty and forbidding by its terminology and methodology. Hence the eloges aside from the other functions they performed in the service of science also served as a public relations organ in the same manner as journals textbooks public lectures literary dialogues scientific expositions and cabinets de physique and d'histoire naturelle" - Charles Bennett Paul Science and immortality: the Eloges of the Paris Academy of Sciences 1699-1791 Berkeley: University of California Press 1980. pages 1-2.
