Barrow was an English mathematician remembered for discovering the fundamental theorem of calculus. He was the first Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. "The elementary portion of Euclid's Elements was part of Barrow's college syllabus but some time before 1652 he went on to read not only Euclidean commentaries by Tacquet Héigone and Oughtred but also more advanced Greek works by Archimedes and possibly Apollonius and Ptolemy. His first published work his epitomized Euclidis Elementorum libri XV probably written by early 1654 is designed as a quadrivium undergraduate text with emphasis on its deductive structure rather than on its geometrical content its sole concessions to contemporary mathematical idiom being its systematic use of Oughtred's symbolism and a list'ex P.

185221535Columbia S.C.: R.W. Gibbes State Printer 1852. 24pp stitched in original printed wrappers closed tear to front wrapper repaired on blank verso. Untrimmed and uncut generously margined. Short closed tear to title page repaired on blank verso. Very Good. <br/><br/> A rare early informative Report on prisons and South Carolina's criminal law. The Report recommends changes in the penal law; not Hayne assures from "sympathy with the spirit of indiscriminate and sweeping innovation which to some extent is the characteristic of the age and which absolutely runs riot in many of the States of this Confederacy." South Carolina has a low crime rate: "more than half of our population and the portion amongst whom from their position crime would naturally most abound are slaves who are kept in order without a resort to the Courts." But he fears an "alarming" rise in crime in Charleston. Urging greater efficiency "in detecting crime" he recommends employing prosecutors in each district and "physicians for post mortem examinations in murder cases." <br/> Hayne wants to streamline outmoded judicial procedures allow appeals "in cases not capital only on cause shown" to curtail the power of pardon with standards to guide issuance of pardons to curb the most wretched prison conditions particularly housing "the arrested debtor and the innocent witness" with "the convicted felon"; and to provide separate cells at night and employ prisoners in shoemaking and other useful tasks. An Appendix prints valuable data on the prison population of South Carolina. <br/>III Turnbull 143. Cohen 4567. Not in Harv. Law Cat. or Marke. OCLC 8348549 3- Harvard U Chi. U SC as of August 2020.

18089225City of Washington: A. & G. Way 1808. Very Good. City of Washington: A. & G. Way 1808. First Edition. Octavo 21cm.; removed; 51pp. Light foxing spine nearly split else Good to Very Good despite slightly musty odor.<br /> <br /> Exceedingly uncommon pamphlet reproducing three pieces of correspondence between President Thomas Jefferson and American engineer Isaac Briggs. Briggs had volunteered his services in 1804 to lead an expedition to New Orleans with the "view of discovering the most direct and convenient route for a post-road from the city of Washington to New Orleans." The trip proved more difficult than expected and Briggs "encountered great expense and extreme hardships which were immediately followed by a severe and tedious sickness and a shock to his constitution from the effects of which it will probably never recover." Briggs concludes his letter with a plea for proper compensation for his hardships most likely a dangerous bout of malaria though he does appear to have recovered enough to work as one of the chief engineers on both the Erie Canal and the James River and Kanawha Canal up until his death in 1825. <br /> <br /> Jefferson's first response in this pamphlet corroborates Briggs' claims noting from his report that "the enterprise was expensive laborious and tedious infinitely beyond expectation. The way being then quite unknown he had to pursue his course through the woods to go through marshes swim rivers cut open his path sometimes and to encounter all obstacles as they presented themselves sleeping out without cover and distressed for food." Jefferson's second letter offers Briggs two hundred dollars by the sixth of June "Saturday se'nnight" and an additional two hundred dollars the following month. Jefferson goes on to say "I am really mortified that you should have been left to suffer in an undertaking wherein I was agent" but concludes with the happy news that a road is indeed being constructed based on Briggs' survey.<br /> <br /> Shaw & Shoemaker 16384 but missed by Sabin.
