Hardcover. Etat : Good. 1st Edition. xxviii+419+errata pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in full leather with black label to spine in gilt lettering. First edition. A Treatise on Plane and Spherical Trigonometry: With Their Most Useful Practical Applications is a historic mathematical textbook written by the prominent English mathematician and educator John Bonnycastle and originally published in 1806.The book is a comprehensive manual designed to bridge classical geometric theory with the operational demands of the 19th century, focusing on fields like navigation, surveying, and astronomy. The treatise is systematically split into two distinct geographical domains of mathematics: Part 1: Plane Trigonometry: Focuses on two-dimensional surfaces. It covers the measurement of angles, trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, etc.), the construction of logarithmic tables, and methods for solving standard right-angled and oblique triangles. Part 2: Spherical Trigonometry: Focuses on triangles drawn on the surface of a sphere, utilizing spatial intuition. This section includes calculating spherical excess, properties of great and small circles, and formulas crucial for three-dimensional geometry. What made Bonnycastle's work highly regarded was its departure from purely abstract math to emphasize real-world execution: Astronomy: Calculating the positions, coordinate systems, and paths of celestial bodies on the celestial sphere. Navigation: Determining a ship's position, heading, and great-circle sailing distances across the Earth's curved surface. Geodesy & Surveying: Mapping and measuring large areas of land where the curvature of the Earth must be mathematically factored into the calculations. Bonnycastle's greatest mathematical contribution, namely the books which he has written. The first, written at an early stage in his career, was The Scholar's Guide to Arithmetic (1780). The popularity of the book is clearly seen from the fact that in 1851 the 18th edition was published. No less popular was Introduction to Algebra (1782). The 13th edition of this work, with addenda by his son Charles Bonnycastle, was published in 1824. This was not the only book Bonnycastle published in 1782 for in the same years Introduction to Mensuration and Practical Geometry appeared in print. This was another highly successful work with an 18th edition published in 1823. His next book Introduction to Astronomy (1786) was written for those without a mathematical background. Bonnycastle's Elements of geometry (1789) contains the propositions from Euclid's Elements books, 1-6, 11 and 12 with "critical and explanatory notes" by Bonnycastle. He believed that the approach to geometry exhibited by Euclid provided an outstanding method for teaching young people logical and precise thinking. He therefore followed Euclid's presentation rather closely. He published another geometry book nearly 20 years later, A Treatise on Plane and Spherical Geometry (1806). Condition: Boards scuffed, corners bumped and rubbed, inner hinges cracked, some light notations to end papers, spine head chipped, previous owner's stamp to introduction pages, some internal spotting and soiling else a good copy.…

The first edition in English of Aristotle's Metaphysics. The 'Metaphysics', as it has come to be known, is a collection of fourteen separate treatises or books by Aristotle (384-322 BC) which were compiled in the first century BC by a Hellenistic scholar, traditionally identified as Andronicus of Rhodes, into a unitary work on the basis of their thematic similarities. The term itself, meaning 'the things after the physical things', has been understood in a variety of ways, most simplistically as denoting the literal order of these treatises in the Hellenistic edition of Aristotle's works as coming after those books which deal with the physical world. However, 'it seems undeniable that the different treatises of the collection pursue a general philosophical project or discipline, which Aristotle variously refers to as "wisdom," "first philosophy," or even "theology." Such a discipline is described in the Metaphysics as a theoretical science, as opposed to practical and productive sciences, and it is sharply distinguished from the other two theoretical sciences, physics and mathematics' (Gabriele Galluzzo, 'Aristotle's Metaphysics', Oxford Bibliographies in Classics). The translator, Thomas Taylor (1750-1835), was something of an autodidact, having received no formal education since dropping out of St. Paul's School in his youth. At this time Taylor was employed as a bank clerk, devoting his spare moments to the study of Aristotle and Plato in the original. 'In 1787 he began to publish translations of works of ancient philosophy, beginning with the earliest of Plotinus's Enneads (i.6), on the "beautiful", and the "Orphic hymns", this latter with a lengthy preface on the life and theology of Orpheus'. By the date of the publication of the Metaphysics in 1801, Taylor had secured the patronage of the brothers William and George Meredith, and later Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk, who made it possible for Taylor to published the first English translation of Plato's complete works in 1804, revising and finishing the effort begun by Flyuer Sydenham (1710-1787), whom Taylor had known in his later years. These translations made available a vast body of Neo-Platonic thought to an audience not otherwise learned in Greek and Latin, exerting a considerable influence on the mystical tendencies of the Romantic Movement from Coleridge to Shelley, Emerson to the Plato Club.

Best known as a prison reformer on the strength of his famous State of the Prisons in England and Wales (1777; see Printing and the Mind of Man 224), the English philanthropist John Howard was also concerned with the improvement of sanitary conditions in other public institutions. His work in this area represents an important link in the development of the public health movement. The present work, an investigation of the conditions of English and European hospitals (including mental hospitals and quarantine detention houses) contains both plans and notes on management and personnel; it also includes notes of Howard's latest inspections of Irish, Scottish and English prisons.
