Bion had an instrumentation workshop in Paris.
He seems to have made globes, sundials, mathematical instruments, and mechanical machines with equal accuracy.
In the "Traité de la construction.." he gives a fairly complete list of instruments normally constructed during the first quarter of the eighteenth century.
His treatise was more for the user and the amateur than for the manufacturer. (DSB)

He demonstrated the principle of the parallelogram of forces simultaneously with and independently of Newton. He was the first French scientist of note to advocate the new differential calculus.

First edition.
Work which is inspired by Wallis' method of measuring surfaces by the arithmetic of infinities which has the advantage according to Deidier of using simple algebra. Deidier found the algebra of integral calculus too abstract. Deidier's works ensured him a distinguished place among the mathematicians of his time.

Collection of drawings, by Jules Thimothé Chauvisé (X 1837 ; 1817-????).

We thus find drawings of curves, surfaces, perspectives, shadows, stone cut, architecture, machine and gears, topography and fortifications.

Sur les Rapports de la physique expérimentale et de la physique mathématique.

First edition.
Offprint of this very interesting article on epistemology by Henri Poincaré in which he analyzes the relationship between the mathematical laws of physics and the data of experience: When should one be right in one and wrong in the other?
In this report which was presented to the International Congress of Physics in 1900, Poincaré discusses there in particular at the end of the text the Lorentz equations which make it possible to analyze certain physical facts but not all, which will be decided by Einstein a few years later with his special theory of relativity.
This debate is still an issue for modern physics about dark matter, should we change physical theories or improve our measurement capabilities?.

First edition.
"Clermont" wrote on the title page, like other copies of these edition.
Clermont, artilleryman and military engineer, dedicated his geometry book to Vauban. We understand this dedication on reading the eighth part of the book, which is entirely dedicated to the construction of fortresses. Vauban then supervised in France the construction of dozens of fortifications with clearly recognizable models.
Clermont explains to us the geometry allowing us to trace the famous Vauban fortresses.
