NEWTON Isaac 1643 1727 'sGRAVESANDE Willem Jacob 1688 1742.ABAA

Mathematical Elements of Natural Philosophy Confirm'd by Experiments: Or an Introduction to Sir Isaac Newton's Philosophy. Written in Latin by the late W. James s'Gravesande. Translated into English by J. T. Desaguliers. The Sixth Edition greatly improved by the author.

1747RW1580London:: Printed by W. Innys T. Longman and T. Shewell C. Hitch and M. Senex 1747. 1747. 2 volumes. 4to. 4 lxxv 1 475 1; ii 389 33 pp. Original full calf raised bands calf gilt-stamped red & brown spine labels; joints cracked. Small rubberstamp on title. Very good. NICE CLEAN COPY. Sixth edition "greatly improved by the author" of 'sGravedande's extensive experimentation and instruction in Newtonian physics. The experiments range from basic physics to hydraulics optics electricity and astronomy. The entire work is profusely illustrated with folding engraved plates detailing among many other experiments and apparatuses a steam-powered Hero's Engine plate 78 a static electricity generator plate 79 the first magic lantern slide projector plate 109 the prismatic effect of a rainbow plate 120 and the known solar system plate 122. 'sGravesande "is the author of Elements de physique demonstres mathematiquement. . . ou introduction a la philosophie Newtonienne which was translated from the Latin and published at Leyden in 1746. In the second volume he gives a description of an electrical machine constructed on the plan of that of Hauksbee. It consisted merely of a crystal globe which was mounted upon a copper stand and against which was pressed the hand of the operator while it was made to revolve rapidly by means of a large wheel." Mottelay. / Willem Jacob 'sGravesande was a Dutch philosopher and mathematician. Born in 's-Hertogenbosch he studied law in Leiden and wrote a thesis on suicide. In 1715 he visited London and King George I. He became a member of the Royal Society. In 1717 he became professor in physics and astronomy in Leiden and introduced the works of his friend Newton in the Netherlands. He was ardently opposed to fatalists like Hobbes and Spinoza. In 1724 Peter the Great offered him a job in Saint Petersburg but 'sGravesande did not accept. His best remembered work is Physices elementa mathematica experimentis confirmata sive introductio ad philosophiam Newtonianam or Mathematical Elements of Natural Philosophy Confirm'd by Experiments Leiden 1720 in which he laid the foundations for teaching Newtonian physics. / 'sGravesande's chief original contribution to physics involved an experiment in which brass balls are dropped with varying velocity onto a soft clay surface. This demonstrated that a ball with twice the velocity of another would leave an indentation four times as deep that three times the velocity yielded nine times the depth and so on. He shared these results with Emilie du ChÃ¢telet who subsequently corrected Newton's formula E = mv to E = mv2. / 'sGravesande was also the owner of the oldest known magic lantern which was built around 1720 by Jan van Musschenbroek and is currently housed at the Museum Booerhave in Leiden. / "From the outset of his teaching both physics and astronomy 'sGravesande modeled his lectures on the example of Newton in the Principia and Opticks although in later years they incorporated other influences especially that of Boerhaave. Moreover he adopted from Keill and Desaguliers the notion of demonstrating to his classes the experimental proof of scientific principles accumulating an ever larger collection of apparatus as may be seen from successive editions of his Physics elementa mathematica experimentis confirmata. Sive introductio ad philosophiam Newtonianam Leiden 1720 1721. The scientific reputation of 'sGravesande is enshrined in this book which he constantly corrected and amplified in later editions. An 'official' English translation prepared by Desaguliers to whom copies of the Latin original were sent in haste was also issued in 1720 and 1721 and it passed through six editions. The booksellers Mears and Woodward printed a rival version under the name of John Keill. French translations appeared only in 1746 and 1747 but a critical review by L. B. Castel was published in the Memoires de Trevoux in May and October 1721. The book was at once welcomed by British and a number of German scholars." â€“ DSB V p. 510.

Sabin 47511; Wroth American Bookshelf p. 22; Lande 657; TPL 250; Streeter II 1013; Echeverria & Wilkie 756/29. Writing in The John Carter Brown Library Report 1946 pp. 48-49 Lawrence Wroth notes that this is "one of the most important diplomatic documents in American colonial history . in which the French government is justifying its position as a contestant in the French and Indian War. Printed amongst other pertinent documents is Washington's captured journal of the Fort Necessity campaign and spread upon the record the articles of surrender in which the young provincal leader accepted the enemy's designation of the killing of Jumonville as an assassination." Sabin notes "From the evidence drawn from these documents they charge Washington with the murder of Jumonville. The memoirs prove that Jumonville was approaching Washington on an embassy of peace but that Washington unwilling to trust him ordered his advance to be fired upon." The Dictionary of Amercian History in discussing this same battle at Great Meadows near Unionville PA in April of 1754 asserts that Washington learned of the small force of French camped a few miles north of Fort Necessity and after a night march attacked them soon after sunrise killing ten including their commander Jumonville. This was Washington's first battle and the first engagement of the French and Indian War. After Washington's return to Fort Necessity he was attacked by 500 French and 400 Indians eventually capitulating and marching back to Virginia on foot. L'Imprimerie Royale unknown books

Burger JacobABAA

Memorandum Book with Medical Lecture Notes of Dr. Jacob Burger of Franklin Square Columbiana County Ohio graduate of the Eclectic Medical Institute of Cincinnati Ohio 1854-1895

030020Hardcover. Good. small quarto 73 manuscript pages plus blanks bound in contemporary Â¼ leather and marbled paper covered boards binding worn rubbed and scuffed entries are written in ink in a legible hand. Dr. Jacob Burger 1832-1903 Jacob Burger was born in October 1832 in Ohio. Burger's 1903 death notice in the American Medicine Journal states that he graduated from the Eclectic Medical Institute at Cincinnati Ohio in 1856. Eclectic medicine was a branch of American medicine which made use of botanical remedies along with other substances and physical therapy practices which was popular in the latter half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. The term was coined by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque 1784-1841 a physician who lived among the Native Americans and observed their use of medicinal plants. Rafinesque used the word eclectic to refer to those physicians who employed whatever was found to be beneficial to their patients. Burger is said to have settled at Franklin Square Columbiana County Ohio in 1859 where he established a medical practice. In the 1860 Census we find a "Jacob Burger" physician enumerated at Salem Columbiana County. The post office for this area of Salem was "Franklin Square." We learn also from the 1860 Census information that Burger was married his wife's name was Emma. The couple had two children Sarah aged 3 and an infant aged three months who was at the time still unnamed. The family was still living at Franklin Square in 1880 when that census was taken. Burger was listed as a physician surgeon. Dr. Burger spent the rest of his life at Franklin Square engaged in the practice of medicine he died there of a stroke on January 27 1903. Description of the Memorandum Book The first page of the volume bears the inscription "Coroners Witness Fee Certificate The State of Ohio Col. C. 1890." This note states that "Dr. J. Burger" acted as a witness and was to receive $ 10.00 for attendance as witness at the inquest of the death of a woman whose death was caused by "violence." The next section of the volume contains a two page discourse on "intellectual powers" and consists of a disquisition on the "brutishness" of the South Seas Islands people as compared to those "with intellectual powers." Following this is a fourteen page essay on politics headed: "Resolved: That in times of political discussion it is the duty of every citizen to express his sentiments freely and attach himself to some party." This essay was written as the "first debate with the Senior Class and finished on Saturday morning Oct 7th 1854 Wittenberg College D. Burger." The above section is followed by a fifty pages with notes on the "Lectures of Prof. King" consisting of sixteen different medical lectures for the school year of 1855-1856. The lectures were given by Prof. John King 1813-1893 who lectured at the Eclectic Medical Institute in Cincinnati from which Dr. Burger graduated. King published books on "women's diseases" as well as guides to health. He was professor of Obstetrics at the institute. The lectures cover various diseases their symptoms treatment with medical prescriptions. The final section of the volume includes a twelve page list of names and dates. The first date is 1859 the last year is 1895. There are 276 entries and are presumably the names of his patients of Franklin Square. There are also eight pages of medical recipes scattered throughout the volume. hardcover books
