Original papers by: Maraldi Petit Nicole Winslow du Fay Pitot Delisle d'Aine Geoffroy le Cadet Reaumur Nicole Cassini de Mairan Saurin de Lagny Fizes. <br/><br/><em>First edition. "In 1727 as a "Suite des mémoires de l’Académie royale des sciences" he published the Élémens de la géométrie de l’infini. Some doubted whether it was really the work of a mathematician but the author believed it was and attached great value to it. He had worked on it for a long time probably since the period of his preface to the Analyse des infiniment petits. The term élémens is to be understood in the sense of "first principles." According to Fontenelle none of the geometers who had invented or employed the calculus of infinity had given a general theory of it; that is what he proposed to do. The work is divided into a preface relating the history of this branch of calculus and into two main parts: "Système général de l’infini" and "Différentes applications ou remarques." The author discusses "the infinite in series or in progressions of numbers" and then examines "the infinite in straight and curved lines" in the words of the Abbé Terrasson who reviewed the work in the Journal des sçavans July-October 1728." There was a great deal of discussion in the scientific community about this work in which mathematicians found numerous paradoxes. Johann I Bernoulli for example in his correspondence with Fontenelle allowed his criticisms to show through his praise: he did not understand what was meant by finis indéterminables. Fontenelle attempted to defend his theory and above all his distinction between metaphysical infinity and geometric infinity: one must ignore the metaphysical difficulties in order to further geometry and the finis indéterminables ought to be considered "as a type of hypothesis necessary until now in order to explain several phenomena of the calculus" letter to Johann I Bernoulli 29 June 1729. "The orders of infinite and indeterminable quantities like the magnitudes that they represent are only purely relative entities hypothetical and auxiliary. The subject matter of mathematics is only ideal" according to the terms of a "Projet de rapport" of Dortous de Mairan to the Academy on this work." DSB. </em> hardcover

17972105270019Paris Impr. de Hautbout l'aine an v 1797. First French edition. Hardcover. Good. The French and Indian War: Cherokee Indians 3 works bound as one. 12mo 15 cm. Bound in contemporary 1/4 calf. 2 viii 187 1 pages. Lacking frontispiece. Early ink doodle on verso of title page lion but clean besides. French translation by Billecocq of the 1765 London edition of "The memoirs of Lieut. Henry Timberlake." Timberlake was a Virginian from Hanover county who fought for the English against the Cherokees in the French and Indian War. Tensions had been raised by the execution of 22 Cherokee in South Carolina in 1760 at Fort Prince George. As a result Overhill Cherokee attempted to expel British settlers. Timberlake was part of Colonel William Byrd / Adam Stephen's forces sent to suppress the Americas Indians in the Virginia / Tennessee region. Timberlake served as a lieutenant and a hostage to the Cherokees in 1761-1762 and visited many of their settlements. Later he was accompanied by three Cherokee leaders including the Chief Ostenaco on a diplomatic mission to England. The mission met with King George III and attempted to halt westward expansion by British colonists. One a second mission to England in 1765 Timberlake was imprisoned for debts owed for the lodging in London. He presumably wrote this journal while in debtor's jail and died in prison in 1765. His journal was published posthumously. His accounts of the Cherokee provide an early and fairly accurate depiction of the people before their displacement.
