Newton was one of his students and "is known to have helped in preparing Barrow's Lectiones XVIII 1669 and Lectiones geometricae 1670 for publication and even to have added one or two small improvements. As a mathematician Barrow is well-known as a pioneer in the development of calculusÂ…Barrow also presented although in geometrical form the fundamental theorem of the calculus in which integration and differentiation are shown to be inverse operations. His preferenceÂ…for geometrical proofs over algebraic manipulationsÂ…could well have had some influence on the young Newton who later expressed his own distaste for the new techniques introduced into mathematics by Descartes and his followers."

184437021Washington 1844. Seventeen lines of text plus salutation and closing written entirely in ink manuscript to "My dear Sir." Signed "Most faithfully yours I.C. Bates." Printed on recto of a single leaf. Matted on the verso of the inner front margin. Uniformly toned Very Good.<br/><br/> Bates 1779-1841 was a Massachusetts Whig elected to the U.S. Senate in 1841. He served as such until his death. John Tyler had been William Henry Harrison's running mate on the Whigs' winning 1840 presidential ticket. Upon Harrison's death Tyler became President-- the first to become so in this manner. <br/> Though nominally a Whig Tyler-- a Virginia Strict Constructionist who would end his career in the Confederate Congress-- broke with Whig positions on Tariffs Internal Improvements and a National Bank. These rebuffs naturally generated much dismay among Whigs who had hoped to celebrate their first presidential victory. Tyler's estrangement from the political party that made him President is reflected in this Letter:<br/> "When I recd your favor I was so much engaged in other matters I neglected an answer for which please pardon. Nothing would delight me more than to see Mr. Otis Jun on the bench of the Supreme Court & I certainly wish Mr. T. all good things; but I do not suppose there is any chance for either of them. I have no influence with the Prest. & ask of him no favors. He has put it out of the power of us Whigs to give him any support. The names of those gentlemen will be brought to his notice. What he intends to do we wait and see. He has got some state right notions in his head which he wishes to install upon the Bench. unknown books
