Old fold lines some tears to edges with loss at upper corners as though from being posted one closed tear along a fold line slightly affecting two words some overall toning to paper. Thomas and John Fleet inherited the printing business from their father Thomas Fleet who died in 1758. Thomas Fleet Sr. was known to employ enslaved men as printers working "at print and case" in his shop according to Isaiah Thomas in his "The History of Printing in America" Worcester: 1810 vol. 1 pp.294-301 & 352-3. Two of the men Pompey and Cesar were young when Fleet died "but they remained in the family and continued to labor regularly in the printing house with the sons of mr. Fleet. until the constitution of Massachusetts adopted in 1780 made them freemen." ESTC: Huntington MHS. We add LC. EVANS 16361 which calls for 2pp. evidently in error. FORD. Broadsides 2184.

1755ABC_474521755. Manuscript of 24 pages 6 printed maps on cardboard. This wonderful logbook details the journey of a French captain from Manila to the Maluku Islands in todays Indonesia. The journey took place during the months of March to May of 1755. The captain of the ship recounted with great detail the events of every day of the journey with detailed daily accounts of the weather winds manoeuvres of the ship its departures anchorages and precise coordinates at every point of the journey. The captain furthermore had a keen eye for the geographical and nautical details along the journey. He recounted the exact locations of for example sandbanks and bays where ships and their crews can take provisions and fresh water. The accounts are detailed and captivating: "After our boats were back on board we set sail . in the afternoon to moor under the old Portuguese fort on the Solor island Indonesia the winds for the tide were fresh at 1:34 a.m. . sand and gravel and then I went back to mooring. The pavilion of the fort . the village is under the said fort at 3 cables from us .". The captain goes on to describe the geographical features of the islands as well as other places en route with great detail. Curiously we find inscriptions in Spanish and the names of one don Phelipe Qui who describes himself as el piloto and one Padre Don Estevan de Melo. The latter might be identical with Don Estevan Roxas y Melo a native of Lima Peru and secretary to the Archbishop of Manila Rodriguez since 1736. Roxas y Melo was part of the 1751 reconstruction of the Cathedral of Manila working under the auspice of the Italian architect Juan de Uguccioni.The logbook comes with six printed maps partly illustrating the journey of the captain pasted on contemporary cardboard. They depict the Bay of Sulavesi with the city of Bantang Pitcairn the coast of New Guinea the coast of Queensland the Santa Cruz Islands in the present-day Solomon Islands and Alejandro Selkirk Island. The plates stem from the French translation of James Hawkesworths An Account of the Voyages Hawkesworth Relation des voyages entrepris par ordre de sa Majesté Britannique actuellement regnante; pour faire des découvertes dans l'hemisphère meridional Paris 1774.Some holes on the first sheet not affecting the text.

Euler's goal in the first paper is to show that certain phenomena that resulted from the eclipse of July 25 1748 are evidence that the moon has an atmosphere that is almost 200 times less dense than that of the earth. The phenomena Euler observed are optical effects of light passing close to a sharp edge and not the refraction of a lunar atmosphere.The other papers on the physics of rigid bodies are groundbreaking as Euler here set forth what is known as "Euler's dynamical equations of the motion of the mass-center of any solid" and thus STATING FOR THE FIRST TIME THE LAW OF DRY FRICTION mathematically. Euler explains his experiments with the inclined plane and discovers the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KINETIC AND STATIC FRICTION."Leonhard Euler occupied himself with the mathematical point of view of friction as well as the experimental. He introduced the differentiation between static frictional forces and kinetic frictional forces and solved the problem of rope friction probably the first contact problem to be analytically solved in history. 1750 the papers offered. He was the first to lay the foundations of the mathematically way of dealing with the law of dry friction and in this way promoted further development. We have to thank for the symbol as the coefficient of friction. Euler worked with the idea that friction originates from the interlocation between small triangular irregularities.This understanding survived in different variationsfor a hundred years and is also used today as the "Tomlinson Model" in connection with friction on atomic scale."L.
