179825<p><b>LEWIS'S "TO THE READER" EXPLAINS HIS AFRICAN SLAVE CHARACTER HIS "MISANTHROPIC NEGRO"</b></p><p><b>LEWIS Matthew Gregory "Monk". </b><i>The Castle Spectre: A Drama. In Five Acts. First Performed at the Theatre Royal Drury-Lane on Thursday December 14 1797. By M. G. Lewis M. P. Author of The Monk &c. </i> 8vo disbound pp. 103 1 ad. London: Printed for J. Bell 1798. <br /></p><p>First Edition. An extraordinary commercial success although not a universal favorite of the critics. To the critics who objected to his use of black slaves in a Gothic story he defended himself by saying that if he could "have produced the same effect by making my heroine blue blue I should have made her." "As far as Lewis's search for novelty and striking effects is concerned it is interesting to highlight the character of Hassan an African servant.Hassan is in Ormond's service because the earl has cruelly snatched him from his family and hating the white race that he considers responsible for his sufferences the black slave refuses to escape only because he is aware of his master's evil propensity to torture people around him. Lewis exploited this unusual figure to introduce something new and surprising in his play but also to underline the demonic instincts of the villain."-Bertrand Evans <b>Gothic Drama from Walpole to Shelley</b>1947 online. Lewis's <i>To The Reader </i>pp. 100-103 admits borrowing from other authors saying: "To the originality of character I make no pretence.but I shall not so readily give up my claim to novelty when I mention my misanthropic <i>Negro: </i>He has been compared to <i>Zanga </i>but Young's hero differs widely from what I meant in <i>Hassan.Hassan</i> is a man of violent passions and warm feelings whose bosom is filled with the milk of human kindness but that milk is soured by despair.he has lost everything even hope; he has no single object against which he can direct his vengeance and he directs it at large against mankind. He hates all the world.that heart was once feeling and kind." This Lewis's most famous play went into eight printed editions by the following year and a total of eleven by 1803. "A brilliant example of the more thrilling type of melodrama accompanied by music by Michael Kelly.The story tells how Osmond the villain captures Angela.Father Paul is based on Juliet's nurse and on Sheridan's Father Paul."-Nicoll <b>A History of English Drama 1660-1900 </b> vol. III pp. 99-100. The play was particularly indebted to <i>The Castle of Otranto The Mysteries of Udolpho </i>and<i>Die Räuber. </i> Coleridge described it as a "peccant thing of Noise Froth and Impermanence." Despite its lack of originality "it was an excellent vehicle for presenting a series of striking scenes of suspense or spectacle--the sudden appearance of the ghost in an atmosphere prepared by forebodings.Kemble and Mrs. Jordan were by all accounts superb in the leading roles.But the principle reason for its success was the appearance of the ghost in Act IV.Louis F.

178544970Paris Moutard 1785. 4to. Extracted from "Mémoires fe Mathematique et de Physique Présentés à l'Academie des Sciences par divers Savans" Tome X. Pp. 511-550 a. 2 folded engraved plates. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this importent paper by the "greatest geometer of the century" in which he solves some main problems in coordinate geometry especially he introduced the "distant formula" for three dimensions years before it was used by Lagrange. He laid the foundation of a completely new branch of mathematics known as descriptive geometry. The paper was delivered already in 1771 but not published until 1785. "His first important original work was "Memoire sur les développées les rayons de courbure et différents genres d inflexions des courbes á double courbure" He published an extract from it in June 1769 in the Journal encycyclop´matiques and in October 1770 he finished a more complete version that he read before the Academie des Sciences in August 1771; the latter however was not published until 1785 Mémoires de mathématiques et de physique présentés á ’Academic par divers scavanns. By then some of the most important ideas in the memoir no longer seemed so original because Monge had employed them in other works published in the intervening years. Nevertheless this memoir is of exceptional interest for it presents most of the new conceptions that Monge developed in his later works as well as his very personal method of exposition which combined pure geometry analytic geometry and infinitesimal calculus."DSB. </em> unknown

Créées par décret de la Convention Nationale afin de former les instituteurs de langue française, les Écoles normales ont eu une durée de vie très courte : 4 mois, du 1er pluviôse au 30 floréal de l'an III ( 20 janvier - 19 mai 1795 ). Les leçons qui étaient professées, par les savants les plus illustres, devaient être toutes improvisées, recueillies par la sténographie et publiées dans le journal de l'école créé à cet effet, de même que les débats ayant lieu une fois par décade, à l'occasion desquels les élèves discutaient avec les professeurs. Notre série ne contient que 17 planches ( sur 28, gravées sur cuivre ), ces planches ont été placées à la fin du tome V; elles concernent les cours de géométrie descriptive. Ensemble en reliures uniformes, ce qui est rare, car ces cours étaient distribués feuille par feuille. SONT MANQUANTS 2 TOMES ( II - VI ) et 11 planches. RARE.
