1784138685Paris: Chez l'auteur F.A. David 1784. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Paris Chez l'auteur F.A. David 1784 1784 and 1800. Quarto three volumes iv 194; iv 211; and iv 116 pages plus an engraved title in each volume and a total of 111 engraved plates with tissue-guards. Early mottled calf; spines extensively tooled in gilt with contrasting morocco lettering-pieces; sides bordered with gilt rolls; all edges gilt; spines tanned with the leather now somewhat brittle; joints splitting but sound; covers slightly worn; plates occasionally a little tanned; a few spots of foxing; loss to the corner of a few leaves likely a production flaw not affecting the text; a few minor signs of age and use but internally a crisp clean wide-margined set in excellent condition meriting a sympathetic restoration of the bindings. The 111 plates illustrating scenes from English history from Roman times to the American War of Independence are engraved by François-Anne David after designs by Nicolas Lejeune Monet and Gios. The third volume published after a hiatus of 16 years has the extended title 'Histoire d'Angleterre depuis la descente de Jules César jusqu'à la fin de la guerre d'Amérique'. The tone is perhaps coloured by the rivalry between France and England concluding '. l'Angleterre humiliée et vaincue recevoit le juste prix de sa tyrranie injuste et sanguinaire par la perte entière d'une de ses colonies la plus importante et les Etats-Unis de l'Amérique eurent une place marquée parmi les puissances libres et souveraines'. <p>The 'Gazette nationale ou le Moniteur universel' for 5 November 1794 contains a lengthy advertisement for David's series of illustrated histories indicating that the print run included a deluxe issue with the plates printed in 'bistre sanguin anglais' on wove paper; this set is from the standard issue printed in black ink. 3 items.

173246599Paris L'Imprimerie Royale 1732. 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from "Mémoires de l'Academie des Sciences. Année 1730". Pp. 78-101. <br/><br/><em>First printing of Johann Bernoulli's importent paper in which he for the first time Euler did it at the same time solved the problem of finding the tautochrone in a medium that resists a body's motion directly as the square of the body's speed.After Huygens first discovered that the cylcoid was a tautochronous curve in vacuo according to the hypothesis of uniform gravity; Newton and Hermann have also given tautochrones following the hypothesis of non-uniform gravity acting and pulling towards some fixed point as centre. Moreover they have considered the motion to arise in a vacuum with no resistance. Truly pertaining to resisting media Newton has also shown that the cycloid is a tautochrone in a medium for which the resistance is proportional tothe speed; moreover as far as any other kinds resisting media are concerned there has been no progress made either in roducing the curves themselves or in demonstrating possible tautochronism in them The 3rd edition of the Principia that Euler refers to finally in §35 alters this view to include the type of resistance offered here. It may be of interest to the reader to observe that Johan. Bernoulli published a paper in the Memoire de l'Acad. Roy. des Sciences in 1730 also present in his Opera Omnia T. III p.173 with the title in tra. from French: Method for Finding Tautochrones in Media Resisting as the Square of the Speed; in which Euler does not get a mention. </em> unknown

Some scattered brownspots. <br/><br/><em>First German translation of Davy's announcement the announcement on 1 page of his discovery of the unusual anaesthetic effects of nitrous oxide which on being inhaled gave rise to a giddy intoxicated feeling. On announcing his discovery he says that he will publish a paper discribing the experiments with the gas later. This is the paper offered here also in the first German version. Both the announcement and the paper were issued in the "Annalen" the same year as they appeared in Nicholson's Journal.The gas was first synthesized by English natural philosopher and chemist Joseph Priestley in 1772 who called it phlogisticated nitrous air."Following Priestley's discovery Humphry Davy of the Pneumatic Institute in Bristol England experimented with the physiological properties of the gas such as its effects upon respiration. He even administered the gas to visitors to the institute and after watching the amusing effects on people who inhaled it coined the term 'laughing gas'! Davy even noted the anaesthetic effects of the gas: "As nitrous oxide in its extensive operation appears capable of destroying physical pain it may probably be used with advantage during surgical operations in which no great effusion of blood takes place".Wikipedia."Davy discovered the anaesthetic properties of nitrous oxide and suggested its use during surgiical operations a suggestion which was not turned to useful account until 1844."Garrison & Morton 5646 not mentioning the announcing of its discovery in 1799. </em> unknown
