As usual some leaves with browning. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of the famous issue of Acta Eruditorum in which the 4 solutions by the 4 most eminent mathematicians at the time were printed together. There were in all 5 solutions to the posed problem and Newton's solution was first printed in the Philosophical Transactions January 1697 and reprinted here. The solution proposed by L'Hopital not printed here was not published until 1988.The brachistochrone problem was posed by Johann Bernoulli in Acta Eruditorum in June 1696. He introduced the problem as follows: "I Johann Bernoulli address the most brilliant mathematicians in the world. Nothing is more attractive to intelligent people than an honest challenging problem whose possible solution will bestow fame and remain as a lasting monument. Following the example set by Pascal Fermat etc. I hope to gain the gratitude of the whole scientific community by placing before the finest mathematicians of our time a problem which will test their methods and the strength of their intellect. If someone communicates to me the solution of the proposed problem I shall publicly declare him worthy of praise." Johann Bernoulli and Leibniz deliberately tempted Newton with this problem. It is not surprising given the dispute over the calculus that Johann Bernoulli had included these words in his challenge:- ."there are fewer who are likely to solve our excellent problems aye fewer even among the very mathematicians who boast that they. have wonderfully extended its bounds by means of the golden theorems which they thought were known to no one but which in fact had long previously been published by others."According to Newton's biographer Conduitt he solved the problem in an evening after returning home from the Royal Mint. Newton: . "in the midst of the hurry of the great recoinage did not come home till four in the afternoon from the Tower very much tired but did not sleep till he had solved it which was by four in the morning."Newton send his solution to his friend Charles Montague and Montague published anonymously in the Transactions. Newton's solution presented here in the Acta is also anonymous. The episode did not please Newton as he later wrote: "I do not love to be dunned pestered and teased by foreigners about mathematical things ." After the competition Johann Bernoulli said ". my elder brother made up the fourth of these after Leibniz himself and Newton that the three great nations Germany England and France each one of their own to unite with myself in such a beautiful search all finding the same truth."Struik Edt.

1793List2998Charlestown Ohio County Virginia now Brooke County West Virginia 1793. Single two-page letter measuring 7 ½ x 12 ½ inches. Folded with small tears at folds some holes intersecting with text; overall excellent. A letter from Isaac Prince Robbins 1770–1846 in what is now West Virginia to his parents Rev. Chandler Robbins 1738–1799 and Jane Prince 1740–1800 in Plymouth Massachusetts. Isaac Robbins was likely teaching in the area as he mentions the “price of my school†and that the oncoming spring had “call’d the larger scholars away†to farm. He also notes that smallpox had been running through the area and inquires about the family’s health as they had contracted the disease the previous October.<br /> <br /> Robbins also informs his family that there is “No prospect of peace while the Indians commit depredations as frequent as they do. Kill’d and took seven families at a station 30 miles this side Lymestone Kentucky Landingâ€. It is not clear whether he is referring to “Hartshorne’s defeat†part of the Northwest Indian War where the Northwestern Confederacy attacked Euro-American settlers near Limestone now Maysville—this attack occurred in 1790 though it is possible that Robbins had not contacted his family since prior to this event.<br /> <br /> He closes by ruminating on his own sin telling his parents “I have erred and gone astray point out to me the way that I shall ask forgiveness whereby I can be saved.†This letter probably predates Isaac Robbins’ following in his father’s footsteps and becoming a minister.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of the settlement of West Virginia and related conflicts with Indigenous tribes. unknown

392341Unbound. Near Fine. A contemporary probably retained copy of a three-page holographic letter dated October 1721 written by Isaac Bobin private secretary to the Honorable George Clarke who was the Secretary for the Province of New York from 1718 to 1730. The two 8.25" x 12.75" leaves were formerly horizontally folded in quarters and are fragile at the folds with some general toning minor splitting at a few of the folds and a bit of chipping to the extremities not affecting the content of the letter.<br /> <br /> The letter roughly delineates the boundary between Orange and Ulster Counties in the province of New York by an Act of the Assembly of the Province. In the top right corner of the document is written “duplicate†and on the bottom of the page is written “Justice of Ulster County†presumably making this copy of the letter the one delivered to the officials in Ulster.<br /> <br /> In the letter Bobin reports that the division line between the two counties will run from the mouth of Murderers Creek westward and into the woods as far as the Delaware River. Owing to the continuing ambiguity of the division and the increasing number of settlers to the region Bobin reports that Secretary Clarke asks that five or more leaders from Ulster meet on November 20 at the Court House of the County of Ulster to decide who will meet with their counterpart from Orange County and other interested parties at the city of New York on the last Tuesday in March to finalize the boundaries of the two counties. This letter is not included in Letters of Isaac Bobin Esq. published by J. Munsell Albany New York 1872. unknown
1867376703Salem OR: W.A. McPherson & Co 1867. First edition. 381 pp. 1 full-page illustration. 8vo. Contemporary three quarter roan over cloth gilt title to spine. Some rubbing and wear to extremities rear joint cracked front board detaching interior unevenly toned but clean. Housed in tan slipcase with leather spine labels. Provenance: C.C. Went 1897 signature. First edition. 381 pp. 1 full-page illustration. 8vo. The state legislator's second book The American Safeguard was principally intended as a manual for politicians particularly the sections on parliamentary practice which were probably targeted at Cox's more indecorous colleagues but also designed to be used in classrooms and as a layman's guide. <br /> <br /> As was sometimes the case for Cox himself given his Democratic political leanings news of the work's publication received a frosty reception in the local press including the Oregon Sentinel: "Give us the constitution and tell us what the big words mean; but.spare us the marginal notes especially if they are Confederate Currency." The text of the U.S. Constitution featuring the newly ratified Thirteenth Amendment is indeed accompanied by an "analytical index" and a series of "political definitions." But Cox surprised audiences with the work's "Treatise upon the Government and History of the United States" and "Manual of Political Economy" both of which contradicted Democratic orthodoxies on slavery and protective tariffs. "We must congratulate Mr. Cox on the breadth of his views and the justness of his sentiments" writes a contemporary reviewer in the Portland Oregonian. "He has completely vindicated the course of his political opponents and exposed the errors of his own party." <br /> <br /> The work was reissued in California in 1893; both editions are scarce.
