It was edited by Prosper Marchand 1678-1756. among others.Of note is the inclusion of the first publication of Bernard Nieuwentyt's "Nouvel Usage des Tables des Sinus: ou moyen de s'en servir sans qu'il soit necessaire de multiplier ou de diviser" illustrated with a folding plate illustrating the trigonometric aspects of sine & cosine functions. The article is signed "B.N."The Dutch philosopher mathematician and physician Bernard Nieuwentyt 1654-1718 was also a theologian and a magistrate who held office as mayor of Purmerend. A follower of Descartes he opposed Spinoza and was involved in controversy with Liebniz regarding the foundations of infinitesimal calculus.Also noteworthy is the inclusion of John Keill's article "Demonstration de deux Theoremes qui peuvent servir a lever un grand nombre de difficultez dans la Phisique".Here identified as a professor of astronomy the Scottish mathematician natural philosopher and cryptographer John Keill 1671-1721 was a significant defender of Isaac Newton. Appointed a lecturer of experimental philosophy at Hart Hall Keill lectured on Newton's laws of motion the principles of hydrostatics and optics and on light and colors. As an astronomer he published an "Examination of Dr. Burnet's Theory of the Earth" taking to task Burnet Descartes Spinoza Hobbes and Malebranche. Taking on the role of Newton's chief defender he later became embroiled in the controversy regarding Leibniz's alleged plagiarisation of Newton's calculus. A la Haye [The Hague]: Chez T. Johnson, 1714. unknown

Per Wikipedia Arthur Gordon Webster 1863 -1923 Was An American Physicist Who Founded The American Physical Society. Webster Had Graduated From Harvard College In 1885 At The Top Of His Class And Had Stayed For A Year As Instructor In Mathematics And Physics. At The End Of That Year He Went To The University Of Berlin Where He Studied For Four Years With Hermann Von Helmholtz Receiving His Phd In 1890. Helmholtz Is Said To Have Considered Webster His Favorite American Student. During This Period Webster Also Studied In Paris And Stockholm. He Was Unusually Proficient In Literature And Was Fluent In Latin Greek German French And Swedish With A Good Knowledge Of Italian And Spanish And Competency In Russian And Modern Greek. Clark University President G. Stanley Hall Appointed Webster Assistant Professor And Head Of The Physical Laboratories In 1892 When Physicist Albert A. Michelson Left For The Newly Organized University Of Chicago. At That Time Only Johns Hopkins University And Clark University Had Doctoral Programs In Physics. Webster Was Promoted To Full Professor In 1900. Webster Was Unusual For His Time In That He Was Both A Proficient Mathematician As Well As A Competent Experimentalist. Webster's Research Was In The Field Of Acoustics And Mechanics. He Is Credited With Developing An Instrument To Measure The Absolute Intensity Of Sound The Phonometer And For Research On The Gyroscope. He Also Gave Graduate Lectures In Theoretical Physics At Clark University Which Have Been Published As Three Textbooks. A Group Of 20 Physicists Invited By Webster Founded The American Physical Society At A Meeting At Fayerweather Hall In Columbia University On May 20 1899. In 1903 Webster Became President Of The American Physical Society And Was Elected To The National Academy Of Sciences. Webster Committed Suicide In 1923 Leaving A Note To Huis Son How He Felt That Every Aspect Of His Life Was A Failure Including The Impending Closure Pf Clark'S Physical Sciences Department. Unfortunately Only A Very Few Politicians Have Ever Felt That. B. G. Teubner hardcover
