A very clean and tight copy. Fine. FIRST EDITION of an extensive treatise on the principles of calculus by Bernard Fontenelle the distinguished French philosopher and scientist who is famous for his book on the plurality of worlds. Through his friend Varignon Fontenelle made the acquaintance of the Parisian scientific circle and became friends with Nicolas de Malezieu and l'Hopital. Fontenelle wrote the preface to l'Hopital's Analyse des infiniment petits pour l'intelligence des lignes courbes 11690. "In it he displayed his interest in the notion of infinity and his talent as a historian; in a few pages he retraces the history of the mathematical study of curved lines from Archimedes to Newton and Leibniz . . . In 1727 he published his Elements de la geometrie de l'infini which he had worked on for a long time probably since the period of his preface to the Analyse des infiniment petits . . . According to Fontenelle none of the geometers who had invented or employed the calculus of infinity had given a general theory to it; that is what he proposed to do. The work is divided into a preface relating to the history of this branch of calculus and into two main part . . . 'the infinite series or in progression of numbers' and then examines 'the infinite in straight and curved lines . . . " DSB. / Bernard Fontenelle was born at Rouen and pursued a literary career.

The Dialogues modeled on the dialogues of Lucian unite in conversation figures from antiquity such as Socrates and Aristotle with more recent personages including Erasmus and Montaigne to discuss the literary and philosophical developments of Fontenelle's day. First published anonymously in 1683 Dialogues des morts and Nouveaux dialogues des morts were Fontenelle's first works and ignited his reputation which was consolidated three years later with Entretiens sur la pluralité des mondes through which he popularized Copernicus's heliocentric model of the Universe. To this edition John Hughes contributes both an appreciation and assessment of Fontenelle as well as two dialogues of his own. N. B.
