Oeuvres.

1779153032The Hague: Detune 1779. Collecting Pascal's published and unpublished work First collected edition of Pascal's works containing much significant material published here for the first time. Pascal is the towering figure among the European mathematicians of the mid 17th century. His achievements range from his celebrated calculating machine - the first to be produced commercially - to projective geometry the calculus of probabilities and indivisibles and to the study of infinitesimal problems. This edition was prepared by an important French disseminator of science and major contributor to scientific education Charles Bossut 1730-1814. His textbooks of engineering and physics were in use in France and - in translations - in other European countries up to the Empire. He also wrote the "Discours sur la vie & les ouvrages de Pascal" which takes up pages 3 to 119 of volume I of this edition. The first three volumes are devoted to Pascal's literary and philosophical writings the final two volumes to his scientific texts. For a detailed bibliographical analysis see René Taton's article in DSB. Among the scientific works appearing here for the first time are the famous Pascal-Noël correspondence on the vacuum the letter to Le Pailleur refuting Noël the preface to the treatise on the vacuum the only surviving fragment of his intended major treatise on the vacuum and his correspondence with Fermat and de Ribeyre. Also included are all of the Pascal texts relating to his invention of the calculating machine with two finely engraved plates depicting the mechanism Pascal's letter to Queen Christina Royal patents etc. which are virtually unobtainable in the originals. 5 vols octavo 199 x 127 mm.

In all 14 engraved plates of which 13 are folded. Scarce first edition of Pascal's collected works comprising much significant material printed for the first time as well as the second appearance of the announcement of Pascal's groundbreaking calculating machine the first edition privately printed of which from 1645 is impossibly scarce making this the earliest obtainable edition of the seminal text. "Pascal designed his first mechanical adding machine in 1642. He was not the first to design and construct a mechanical calculator." but in contrast to Schickard's accomplishments which were destined for a history of obscurity Pascal in contrast "constructed about fifty examples of his machine of which several are extant; and the machine was well known to the cognoscenti both through Pascal's own efforts he hoped to make a profit selling them and through Diderot's later description of it in the "Encyclopédie" 1751. In 1645 Pascal published an eighteen-page pamphlet - now extremely rare - describing his calculating machine. The pamphlet does not identify a place of printing or a printer's name so we may assume that Pascal himself paid for its printing. When we wrote this bibliography OCLC cited only two copies of this pamphlet in one French library and no copies and North America." The pamphlet was reprinted along with additional material in volume IV pp. 7-30 of the present "Oeuvres". The additional material consists of Pascal's 1650 letter to Queen Christina of Sweden; the privilege for its construction and sale issued in 1649 and published for the first time here ; and Diderot's description of it for the "Encyclopédie" along with two plates. Also of interest here is the reprint of Pascal's 1654 paper introducing his triangle of binominal coefficients Pascal's Triangle included in Volume V pages 1-54. Pascal's invention "predated the concepts of computation of the values of polynomial functions by differences." Lee 1995 538." Origins of Cyberspace No. 13.

Pensées sur la religion et sur quelques autres sujets

1714205631714 Blaise PASCAL Pensees Christian Apologetic Pascal's Wager French Philosophy"Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true. The cure for this is first to show that religion is not contrary to reason but worthy of reverence and respect. Next make it attractive make good men wish it were true and then show that it is."– Pascal PenseesBlaise Pascal's thoughts organized as "Pensees" were written as a collection of writings on theology and philosophy. 'Pensees' was a culmination of all of Pascal's non-mathematic discoveries and ideas which ultimately led him to a life of religious asceticism. He defended Christianity in this work. In doing so it 'became one of the most famous Christian books in history.' Keller Gospel Coalition. 'Pascal was aware that very often we see only what we want to see' Morris 145 and because of that he hoped to be able to 'convince man to overcome the natural reluctance many feel toward religion.' The concept of "Pascal's Wager" stems from a portion of this work.

The Life Of Mr. Paschal With His Letters Relating to the Jesuits

1744PSCePASC95London: James Bettenham 1744. 1744. 2 Volumes. 8vo. pp. 7 p.l. lxiii 228; 2 p.l. 320. 2 engraved frontis. portraits by George Vertue. Vol. I lacking A2 dedication to George Pitt Jun. several woodcut ornaments. contemporary calf rebacked & recornered covers worn internally fine & crisp. First Edition of the Second English Translation of the 'Provincial Letters' by William Andrews and First Edition in English of the prefatory biography of Pascal by his sister. Pascal's famous defence of Jansenism the seventeenth-century French ascetic movement of reform inside the Roman Catholic Church stands as a brilliant and noble defence of thought in religious faith. The author's first important ethical work and a classic of French prose it was composed following Pascal's removal in 1654 to Port Royal the monastery famous as the centre of the Jansenist movement. Written in response to the Jesuit attacks on Jansenism which culminated in the condemnation by the Sorbonne at the end of 1655 of Antoine Arnauld the leading light of Port Royal the Lettres were originally issued clandestinely in a series of eighteen separate parts between January 23 1656 and January 15 1657. Pascal's magnificent invective against the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits seriously weakened their position in France and was largely responsible for the traditional bad reputation which they still bear. The prefatory biography was written by Pascal's sister Jacqueline Perier who was a nun at Port Royal. "Pascal's counter-attack took the form of a brilliant exposure of the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits.His weapon was irony and the freshness with which the gravity of the subject contrasts with the lightness of the manner is an enduring triumph. The vividness and distinction of his style recalls the prose of Milton at its best." Printing and the Mind of Man NCBEL II 1525. Rothschild 35. F. London: James Bettenham, 1744. unknown
