175018749Paris 1750. 8vo. Jacques Rollin Contemporary mottled calf spine gilt in compartments with two red morocco labels lettered in gold blue marbled edges. With 136 engraved plates 9 folding 127 full-page numerous woodcut diagrams and printed tables in the text. 4 volumes. 16 460 20; 4 462 14; 2 482 12; 8 446 5 pp. Enlarged edition of a famous compendium of popular science complete with all 136 engraved plates. The work discusses a wide variety of subjects as it presents both serious scientific problems and experiments as well as descriptions of conjuring tricks fireworks and games. The problems and their solutions are arranged according to subject: arithmetical geometrical gnomonical optical mechanical pyrotechnical and physical. The optical problems were based on the author's own teachings of perspective and include working with mirrors anamorphosis and a camera obscura. All problems and experiments described are clearly and fully depicted on the numerous engraved plates.For his Recreations Jacques Ozanam 1640-1717 used everything known at the time in the field of popular science and made use of the works of Claude Gaspard Bachet de Mérizac Claude Mydorge Jean Leurechon and Daniel Schwenter. The added treatise on clocks which can be found in the third volume was based upon Domenico Martinelli's Horlogi elementari 1669 with popular observations by Ozanam added. However Ozanam not only recreated other scientist's experiments but also presented his own including a first idea of a movie made by quickly projecting magic lantern slides of the same figure in slightly different poses creating the illusion of a person walking. His work became very popular and was used at schools and at home to teach youth all aspects of mathematical sciences. The first edition was published in 1694; this is the final edition in the original form as the work was almost entirely rewritten by Jean-Étienne Montucla 1725-1799 shortly after. The present edition was significantly enlarged compared to the first edition with extra information and 52 additional plates.Ozanam came from a Jewish family that had converted to Catholicism. He taught mathematics in Lyon before going to Paris where his teaching brought him a substantial income. Ozanam cannot be regarded as a first-rate mathematician but he had a flair for writing and during his career he wrote a number of books some of which were very popular passing through many editions. His contributions consisted of popular treatises and reference works on 'useful and practical mathematics' and this extremely popular work on mathematical recreations which had by far the more lasting impact. Ozanam's Récréations may be regarded as the forerunner of modern books on mathematical recreations.With a paper shelfmark label mounted on the front pastedown of each volume "j3459/ 223". The edges and corners of the boards of all volumes are somewhat scuffed. Internally clean with only minor foxing on some of the leaves plates 19-21 in volume 1 are bound in the wrong order.

Dark pencilling from bookseller ---NOTES: New revised edition corrected and augmented by Ozanam. Armorial bookplate on frontpastedown of the Lee family. 16 folding plates illustrating geometric concepts. ------- Provenance: Sir Harry Lancelot Lee was related to General Lee. In the United States the name of General Robert E. Lee is one that commands great respect - especially in the South where he's fondly remembered as the finest Confederate general of the American Civil War. But was isn't known so widely is that General Lee's family came from Shropshire and the family home still exists. For 500 years the Lee family owned a sizeable chunk of the county in the parish of Alveley near Bridgnorth. The family originally-named de la Lee and probably of Norman descent lived in Coton Hall from the 1300s onwards. The tombs of of two Lees with effigies are in Acton Burnell Church. And it's only because the present-day Coton Hall was put up for sale early in 2003 that the Lees of Shropshire came to light again. Present day Coton Hall was built soon after 1800 for Harry Lancelot Lee in the Georgian style. At the time the estate ran to 5000 acres. Although the present building is only some 200 years old the Lee family's connections with the land go back 1000 years. The previous building on the site was also called Coton Hall - and it was from here that Robert E. Lee's ancestors left for America in the 1600s. Two of them Richard Henry and Francis Lightfoot Lee were the only brothers to sign the Declaration of Independence. General Robert E. Lee's father was 'Light Horse Harry' Lee a famous soldier of the American War of Independence where he was known for his courage in fighting the British. And by a bizarre paradox he may well have been reponsible for the deaths of soldiers from Shropshire - elements of the 53rd Regiment which later became the Shropshire Regiment were all but wiped out and the remainder captured at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777. Light Horse Harry resigned from the army as soon as the British were defeated and settled down to raise the family that included the young general. Well maybe that's a little kind - before long he deserted Robert and his mother and left them to fend for themselves in Virginia. Harry bolted to the Caribbean in search of fortune. Robert E. Lee went into military college at West Point and became a career soldier in the U. S. Army. He graduated from the West Point military school with not a single demerit point - something no-one has ever done before or since. He joined the U. S. Army but offered his services to the breakaway Confederates when the American Civil War in the 1860s. This made him a traitor in the eyes of the Union but Lee sided with the Confederate states because his home state of Virginia was one of them. . E Lacademie Royale Des Sciences. hardcover
