192500001491925. Original Wraps. Very Good. Three off prints on Theory of Numbers: Théorie Des Nombres & Sur les nombres de Fermat. Comptes rendus des séances de l'Académie des Sciences t. 180 p. 799 séance du 16 mars 1925 4to off print numbered p.1-2.; Sur Le Nombre N= 1/9 1023 & 1 8vo. 3 1p. ; Sur Les Nombres De Fermat. Fn= 22n 1. 8vo. 5 3p. Plus approximately 65 pages of manuscript notes in French with calculations. <br/><br/>The majority of the manuscript pages appear to deal with quadratic forms in Leonard Dickson's - Studies in the theory of numbers. 1930 which contains numerous original investigations in the theory of quadratic forms in three or four variables. In Dickson's earlier work on the History of the Theory of Numbers 1919-23 he provided little interpretation and made no attempt to contextualize the results being described. It is probably with this background that Kraitchik devoted much of the manuscript sheets to Dickson's work. Other manuscript notes dealing with other equations from Euler "Continuous la table" dated March to December 1939. The last group of manuscript pages in 8vo deal with equations from a publication of Landarsic Backman dated November 1931 and May 1938. There are a few loose sheets with calculations but no identification. These may be sheets used to make rough calculations. Together this manuscript collection and off prints offer a very good example of Kraitchik's thinking in regards the theory of numbers. Although Kraitchik is often thought of in relation to Recreational Mathematics he really spent considerable time with the Theory of Numbers. The present collection of 3 off prints and manuscript sheets most of which are on square lined sheets is thus quite rare and significant for this noted 20th century mathematician. paperback books

1796284281796. Small quarto. 8pp. Loose sheets. Contemporary manuscript notations. Moderately soiled and worn. Final page loose torn in center of text with minor loss. Early imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius also known as the Ile de France. The text deals with the Governor's reserve powers; it is signed in type by Governor Magallon. The Dutch were the first Europeans to become interested in the island taking possession in 1598. After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton the Dutch abandoned the colony in 1710. The French soon claimed it as "Ile de France" and the island remained under the control of the French East India Company until 1767. During the long war between France and England at the beginning of the 19th century Mauritius proved to be an important strategic naval base and as a result the British took charge of the island in 1810 and the Treaty of Paris confirmed official British possession in 1814. It remained an important sugar producing colony and in the 20th century agricultural production was expanded to include tea rice and other produce. Printing began on Mauritius in 1768. During the French period until 1810 only about 400 imprints were produced mostly in the form of official documents and newspapers though there are also almanacs and a few other items.

190921213191909. London: Mills and Boon. 1909. 8vo. Original black cloth titles to spine gilt and to front board in red small photographic portrait of Gerald Du Maurier to front board with the very rare printed dust-jacket; pp. vi 344 32 Mills and Boon Catalogue; spine ends gently rubbed edges lightly foxed dust jacket browned especially spine panel a few nicks chips and tears and repairs to verso; overall an excellent copy.First edition issued not before 1913 of this English translation of LeBlanc's novel with a photographic portrait of the English actor Gerald Du Maurier as Lupin to the front cover in excellent condition and retaining the very rare dust jacket.The story originally appeared as a four-part play by Maurice LeBlanc and Francis de Croisset a Belgian-born French playwright and opera librettist. Titled Arsene Lupin the play premiered on 28 October 1908 at the Theatre de l'Athenee in Paris and met with considerable success. The following year it was translated into English and performed at the Duke of York's Theatre in London with Gerald Du Maurier in the role of Lupin. The play was subsequently adapted into a novel by LeBlanc and published in French in 1909. The same year saw the release of this English translation by Edgar Jepson author of adventure and detective fiction.This 1909 first edition of Arsene Lupin includes a 1913 Mills and Boon catalogue bound at the end and a brief list of 'new novels' from the same period facing the title page. These subsequent advertisements suggest that the publishers did not sell out the entire initial print run immediately. Instead they retained some printed sheets to be bound and released at a later date as demand rose. hardcover
3 vols., 8vo., First Edition, some mild spotting as usual; tastefully bound in contemporary blue half roan, marbled boards ruled in gilt, backs with five raised bands tooled in gilt, second and third compartments ruled and lettered in gilt, all other compartments framed in gilt, gilt tops, marbled endpapers, joints very lightly rubbed, a most attractive copy. MAURICE BARING'S COPY WITH HIS HOLOGRAPH SIGNATURE ON BLANK PRELIMINARY OF FIRST VOLUME, AND BOOKPLATE ON FRONT FREE ENDPAPERS OF ALL THREE VOLUMES. The set also carries the fine nineteenth century engraved armorial bookplate of Sir Andrew Noble of Ardmore and Ardardan on front paste-downs. The Trollope Society records that the author's sixth novel was written 'mainly in railway carriages, since his work for the Post Office entailed a good deal of travelling'. The story is drawn from his memories of his work as a clerk at the GPO in St Martin-le-Grand, and Richard Mullen has called it the most autobiographical of Trollope's novels. The novel was not reprinted in its original three-volume form. A UNIQUE AND ATTRACTIVE COPY OF A SCARCE WORK. NCBEL III, 882; Sadleir 6; Wolff 6796.

Tirage unique limit 3.000 exemplaires numrots sur vlin du Marais. Trs rare spcimen de ces reliures qui furent inventes et ralises entre les annes 1933 et 1955 par Joseph Taupin, sous le pseudonyme de Jotau. Les plats et le dos sont entirement mouls en pollopas (matire plastique proche de la galalithe mise au point par Kuhlmann), et s'articulent autour de deux charnires mcaniques de type piano. Le second plat porte ct de la signature Reliure Jotau, la mention brevet S.G.D.G. qui laisse croire que le procd fit l'objet d'un brevet dpos, ce qui est faux. Ce type de reliure fut abandonn, en raison du cot de fabrication et de la fragilit de la matire utilise particulirement cassante. Notre reliure, parfaitement conserve, est un extraordinaire tmoin d'une recherche trs avant-gardiste pour l'poque, et dont la conception peut tre compare certaines crations contemporaines. Une des trs rares reliures de couleur rouge vif.

190375906Paris Ambroise Vollard 1903 1 vol. relié gr. in-4, plein maroquin tabac janséniste à gros grain, dos à nerfs, bordure intérieure de même maroquin tabac, doublures de maroquin beige ornées d'un décor géométrique composé d'un quadruple filet doré formant deux polygones qui s'entrecroisent, gardes de soie moirée beige, doubles gardes, tête dorée, non rogné, couvertures et dos conservés, étui bordé (Marot-Rodde), XIII + 456 pp. Premier tirage de cet important livre illustré d'inspiration mystique, le quatrième publié par Ambroise Vollard, comprenant 216 bois dessinés par Maurice Denis et gravés sous sa direction et celle de Tony Beltrand."Ce livre, constitué de préceptes où chaque existence peut trouver une application à ses mouvements les plus subtils et une règle constante, le peintre en interprète l'abstraite direction avec une imagination plastique tout imprégnée de l'iconographie chrétienne, mais aussi de ces nuances dont l'année liturgique enveloppe, pour un croyant, le monde des apparences et la suite des jours. Commémorations, fêtes, obligations, pratiques, sont évoquées dans un rapport familier, pour ainsi dire quotidien, avec Jésus. Des jeunes filles aux cheveux longs, des moniales, un premier communiant, des fiancés, des gamins dans la rue, une procession qui traverse la ville, le convoi d'un mort le long de la mer, autant de figures de cette association de tous les instants au divin, qui est bien dans l'esprit de L'Imitation. Le nabi transpose le langage des vices, des vertus, les oscillations de la conscience, en une écriture symbolique dont les étirements, les simplifications, les partis décoratifs et les valeurs de tonalité s'accordent aux états d'âme. Parfois une inspiration un peu folle, qui n'est pas pour déplaire, traverse cette sagesse. Si la grimace des démons nous y paraît d'une méchanceté forcée, certaines hardiesses de dessin, des raccourcis naïfs, des amorces d'envols, des prostrations stylisées attestent le passage d'une idée à sa traduction formelle. Enfin quelques délicieux paysages, surtout dans les culs-de-lampe, constituent - comme pour Le Voyage d'Urien - la géographie d'une exploration intérieure."
