First edition.
Philippe de La Hire (1640-1718) is a French mathematician, he is the successor of Desargues and Pascal in the geometry of conics, in that he deduces the properties of conics from the properties of the circle.
La Hire innovates compared to his two predecessors, in that he exploits to the maximum the properties of invariance of harmonic division, which allows him to reason almost exclusively in the plane (and not in space).
This approach leads him to develop the notions of poles and polars, homology, orthoptic locus, etc.

The L'Hospital manual was the first treatise devoted to differential calculus in the French language. It did much to disseminate Leibniz's discovery in France and Europe.
On p. 145 we find the rule that would bear the name of L'Hospital's Rule (or theorem), which states that the quotient of two functions behaves locally like the quotient of the associated derivatives.
