175544935Paris Imprimerie Royale 1755. 4to. Extracts from "Mémoires fe Mathematique et de Physique Présentés à l'Academie des Sciences par divers Savans" Tome II. Pp. 53-112. Clean and fine wide-margined. <br/><br/><em>In these two memoirs Venel attempted to prove that effervescent mineral waters contain a quantity of common air in solution thus seperating carbon dioxyde he called it air surabondante without knowing what it really was thus beeing "so close to making a discovery without actually making it." Fourcroy. "In 1750 Venel described his analysis of the effervescent mineral water of Selz in Germany. Evaporation yielded only common salt and a little lime and he was more interested in the effervescence which was he thought caused by the escape of common air. All water contained a small amount of dissolved air but Selzer and other effervescent waters contained superabundant air as Venel called it. He made artificial Selzer water by adding the correct amounts of marine hydrochloric acid and soda to pure water and he called the product aerated water a term that is still in use. Stephen Hales had thought that effervescent mineral waters contained “sulphurous spirit"; Venel’s experiments proved the absence of the gas now called sulfur dioxide but he failed to notice that the "superabundant air" differed in any way from common air. It was of course carbon dioxide characterized in 1754 by Joseph Black who called it fixed air. Fourcroy later commented that no one had ever been so close to making a discovery without actually making it as was Venel."DSB. </em> unknown

Pp. 593-624 and 2 folded engraved plates. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of an importent papwer in the history of analytic geometry."In this article Tinseau gave an interesting generalization of the Pythagorean theorem for space of three dimensions: the square of the area of a plane surface is equal to the sum of the squares of the projection of this surface upon three mutually perpendicular coordinate planes.To Tinseau it appears that the use of the word "conoid" in the modern sense is due."Boyer "History of Analytic Geometry p. 207."Two of the three memoirs that constitute Tinseau’s oeuvre deal with topics in the theory of surfaces and curves of double curvature: planes tangent to a surface contact curves of circumscribed cones or cylinders various surfaces attached to a space curve the determination of the osculatory plane at a point of a space curve problems of quadrature and cubature involving ruled surfaces the study of the properties of certain special ruled surfaces particularly conoids and various results in the analytic geometry of space. In these two papers the equation of the tangent plane at a point of a surface was first worked out in detail the equation had been known since Parent methods of descriptive geometry were used in determining the perpendicular common to two straight lines in space and the Pythagorean theorem was generalized to space the square of a plane area is equal to the sum of the squares of the projections of this area on mutually perpendicular planes. DSB. Although Tinseau published very little his papers are of great interest as additions to Monge’s earliest works. Indeed Tinseau appears to have been Monge’s first disciple. </em> unknown
