Early quarter maroon calf backed red & black marbled boards; extremities rubbed. Occasional minor tears some repaired foxing. Ownership signature of Garde. Very good. THE ENTIRE TEXT IS PRINTED IN MANUSCRIPT FACSIMILE. No person or organization shows their name as being responsible for this deeply scholarly and detailed work on all facets of analytical mechanics. Some possible clues for its origin might possibly be a part of the history of the Ecole Nationale de Cluny Descartes's system of mechanical force or possibly the work of Alfred Flamant engineer & professor at l'Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees & l'Ecole Centrale who wrote a treatise Mecanique Generale 1888. I could not find a match for the text to identify this item but it is for someone else to discover. See possibly: H. Carteron "L'idee de la force mecanique dans le systeme de Descartes."

Good.<br/><br/> The Report announces Louisiana's entry into the post-War New South displaying its "improvements" in agriculture and the "Mechanic Arts." The advertisements alone demonstrate impressively Louisiana's determined recovery from the War. <br/> Officers Directors and Committee Members are listed after the title page. The Fair's President was the merchant I.N. Marks. "As indicated by his name ISAAC N. MARKS is of Hebrew descent and is a distinguished representative of his highly favored race but contrary to the usual customs of that people he has adopted the Christian faith. This change in his creed is due to the independent manner of thought which has characterized him from his boyhood and has ever made him master of his personality in the domain of both his sentiments and business. Mr. Marks is a native of South Carolina having been born at Charleston on the 5th of May 1817. At the age of nineteen he came to New Orleans and linked his career with that of his adopted city then lacking much of the greatness and grandeur which to-day places her a queen among cities" online 'Genealogy Trails History Group Orleans Parish <br/> The pamphlet records Louisiana's first Fair after the War's end in late November 1866. An essay explains its establishment and inauguration in late November 1866. "The mellow light of an Indian Summer's sun shone down." The various exhibits are listed followed by Marks's Address lamenting the "long and disastrous war leaving in its desolated path ruin upon every side; agriculture paralyzed; commerce languishing; a well-regulated labor system grown venerable in its usefulness and its humane tendencies suddenly and violently destroyed."
