MARAT, Jean-Paul.
Recherches physiques sur le Feu.
Paris, Ant. Jombert, 1780.
More Details >
650 €
One of the best known of the scientific books by the infamous French revolutionary Marat. In the Recherches physiques sur le Feu", he sets forth his theory of "fluide ignée", a mechanical explanation of the phenomenon of heat, based on 166 experiments in two of which he demonstrates an increase in weight of metals after calcination (pp. 29-31).

First collected edition, and first edition for the "Traité du mouvement des pendules" is published here for the first time.
Edme Mariotte was one of the pioneers of experimental physics in France and, with Newton, one of the great figures of European physics. His works bear witness to great originality and great diversity. In 1660 he undertook research on the elastic deformations of solids and laid down a law. In 1676, he also established the gas compressibility law which bears his name and formulated it in his treatise On the nature of air: at constant temperature, the volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure.
He also studied optics, hydrodynamics, fluid mechanics, as evidenced by his numerous writings on vision, colors (he opposed, like Hooke or Huygens, Newton's theory), weather forecasts , fluid movements, body shock ...
He also left his name to the "Mariotte spot", which is a part of the completely blind retina.).

First and only old collective edition,
Published by Bossut, this edition is illustrated with a portrait and 14 plates.
Among the unpublished there are many "pensée", writings on Grace, the Treaty of vacuum and and extensive correspondence.
Volumes IV and V contain the scientific works.
We found the second printing of the describing of invention of the computing machine of Descartes (TIV, pages 7-30). The first edition, certainly printed by the author, is unobtainable (only two copies known).
Also of interest here is the reprint of Pascal's 1654 paper introducing his triangle of binominal coefficients (Pascal's Triangle), included in Volume V, pages 1-54. Pascal's invention "predated the concepts of computation of the values of polynomial functions by differences.".

Nouvelles expériences sur la résistance des fluides.
Paris, Claude-Antoine Jombert, 1777.
More Details >
300 €
First edition.
Collection of hydrodynamic experiments carried out in a basin of the Military School by D'Alembert, Condorcet and Bossut. Turgot had commissioned them to look for ways to improve river navigation. The results of these experiments led to establish what will become the D'Alembert paradox, which will only be solved with the theory of wakes.
Indeed according to the hydrodynamic equations of the time, "a body should be able to progress in a fluid without experiencing any resistance or, which amounts to the same thing, that a bridge pier plunged into the course of a river should not. undergo no pushing on his part ", which the experiments carried out denied.
Beyond the treatise on hydrodynamics, this book bears witness to a science in progress which intricates theory and experience.

Mémoire sur la Théorie des Nombres, Présenté a l'Académie des Sciences, le 31 Mai 1830, par M. Augustin Cauchy.
First edition of this important memoir (pp/ 249 to 768 of this volume of memoirs of the academy of sciences).
The writing of this memoir is quite abrupt, with a succession of formulas difficult to relate to each other, and it will be criticized by Biot in particular.
However, Jenny Boucard, after an in-depth study of Cauchy's work, concluded that Cauchy exposes a coherent method around the quadratic forms 4p^μ=x²+ny² which he applies in different cases, depending on whether n is prime or compound. (Boucard, p.365).

Original Manuscript by Henri Becquerel.
An interesting manuscript in which the discoverer of radioactivity ponders the nature of matter at the end of his life.
This manuscript, with corrections for printing, was published at the Institut de France after a reading at the session of October 25, 1907.
One of Henri Becquerel’s final works, this manuscript reflects on the revolutionary discoveries that had upended the traditional understanding of matter: the electron (discovered by Thomson in 1897), radioactivity (discovered by Becquerel himself in 1896), and radioactive decay (discovered by Rutherford in 1902).
The long-held notion of the atom as an indivisible, stable particle, as proposed by Democritus, was challenged by these groundbreaking findings. Becquerel pondered this new reality, suggesting that atoms, rather than being eternally stable, might undergo modifications over time. However, the slow pace of these transformations or the rarity of conducive conditions could create the illusion of stability.
The 15 pages offprint will be joined (covers detached).
