In the spirit of the Enlightenment this work is not meant to be just theoretical but is also designed to facilitate the construction of precision instruments. </p><p>Although some authors such as the Danish G. Mohr had sought before Mascheroni the solution of certain geometrical problems by using the compass alone he was able to deal with the subject of the geometry of the compass with such depth and in such a general way to make his forerunner forgotten.</p><p>Lorenzo Mascheroni 1750 - 1800 was an Italian mathematician scholar and academic who since 1778 taught physics and mathematics at the Bergamo seminary.</p><p>His most important contributions concern mathematical analysis with studies related to integral calculus and natural logarithms construction science with its original studies on arc-breaking calculus and geometry with the demonstration that solvable problems with row and compasses can also be solved with just the compass.</p><p>His name is also linked to the Euler-Mascheroni constant of which he calculated the first 32 decimal digits. The Euler – Mascheroni constant also called Euler's constant is a mathematical constant recurring in analysis and number theory usually denoted by the lowercase Greek letter gamma γ.</p><p>It is defined as the limiting difference between the harmonic series and the natural logarithm.</p><p>Napoleon whose passion for science and mathematics is known met Mascheroni in 1796 during the invasion northern Italy and was intrigued by his theories ion the use of the compasses becoming they say a great expert. "General we could expect from you everything but geometry lessons": with this sentence the mathematician Laplace and Lagrange welcomed Napoleon's explanations on Mascheroni's constructions whose book just a year after the Italian edition in 1798 was translated into French by Charette.</p><p>Conditions: Light marks of use along the text small warmholes never touching the text in general very good copy printed on strong paper untrimmed and uncut in its original paper wrapper.</p><p>References: RICCARDI P.

Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this pathbreaking paper in which Cayley unites 'Metrical Geometry' and 'Projectice Geometry' by introducing "imaginary" elements to metrical properties."The fundamental notions in metrical geometry are the distance between two points and the angle between two lines. Replacing the concept of distance by another also involving "imaginary" elements Cayley provided the means for unifying Euclideangeometry and the common non-Euclidean gemoetries into one comprehensive theory."Bell in "Men of Mathematics".In non-Euclidean geometry prepared the way for Klein's splendid discovery that the geometry of Euclid and the non-Euclidean geometries of Lobatchewsky and Riemann are all threee merely different aspects of a more general kind of geometry which includes them as special cases.Dealing with the relations between metrical and projective geometry Klein remarks In "Entwicklung der Mathematik" Teil I p. 148: "Vor allem kommt für uns sein Cayley's berühmtes 'A Sixth Memoir upon Quantics" im betrachtt. Quantioc heisst soviwel "Form" d.h. homogenes Polynom von zwei drei oder mehr Variablen wonach man binäre tertiäre usw. Formen unterscheidet." </em> unknown
