(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1769). 4to. No wrappers as issued in "Memoires de L'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles Lettres", tome XXIII, pp. 165-310. Clean and fine. First edition of a fundamental paper in the Theory of Numbers in which Lagrange gives a solution in integers of indeterminate equations of the second degree - a remarkable turning point in Diophantine analysis. - Fermat had asserted that he could determine when the more general equation x2-Ay2=B was solvable in integers and that he could solve it when solvable, but Lagrange solved it in this paper and furthermore he gives the complete solution to the problem of giving all integral solutions of a general equation where the coefficients are integers. - Cajori calls Lagrange "One of the greatest mathematicians of all times." - Poggendorff I:1344.

Stockholm: P.-A. Norstedt & Fils, 1905. Large 8vo. (246x166mm). Original printed wrappers. First edition of Becquerel's Nobel Lecture."Becquerel attended a session of the 'Académie des Sciences' in Paris on 20 January 1896, when Jules Henri Poincaré exhibited a series of radiographs sent to him by Röntgen. He, like others, observed that the emission of X-rays from the cathode tube was accompanied by strong phosphorescence of the glass. He therefore suspected that other forms of induced phosphorescence might be accompanied by other hithero unknown rays. In February 1896 Charles Henry reported to the 'Académie' his discovery of that phosphorescence could be induced in certain substances by exposure to sunlight. In the same month Becquerel reported that uranium was among these substances. Like all his other early papers on the subject, this appeared in the 'Comptes rendus' and was entitled 'Sur les Radiations Invisibles' émises par les Corps Phosphorescents'. In a second paper, 'Sur quelques Propriétés Nouvelles des Radiations Invisibles', he reported the astonishing fact that uranium was capable of fogging photographic plates even without previous exposure to sunlight and when the plates themselves were completely protected from ordinary light. In a third paper, March 1896, 'Sur les Radiations invisbles émises par les d'Uranium' Becquerel discarded phosphorescence completely and declared that the emanations from uranium constituded an entirely new and unsuspected property of matter, which in his seventh paper he named 'radioactivité'. He also found that the uranium rays discharged a gold-leaf electroscope, which is still used as one method of detecting radio-activity.Becquerel also discovered that the residue of pitchblende, a natural uranium oxide, after the uranium had been extracted from it was about four times as radio-active as uranium itself. He therefore suggested to the Curies the importance of further investigations of the ore, with the result that they discovered radium. He continued to work on the subject until 1903, in which year he collaborated with Pierre Curie in a paper, 'Action Physiologique des Rayons du Radium', which is the starting-point of the treatment of disease by radio-active substances. In that year he also published . ('Recherches sur une Propriété Nouvelle de la Matière' - the offered item) . which is his definitive work, containing a chronological narrative of his investigations, his mature conclusions and a bibliography of two hundred and fourteen treatises on radio-activity, dating from his own first paper in 1896. The rays emitted by uranium were named in his honour 'Becquerel' rays. They were later discovered to be a composite of three forms of emanation, distinguished by Rutherford (in 1919) as alpha, beta and gamma rays and identified thus: alpha as helium nuclei, beta as electrons, and gamma as powerful X-rays." - (PMM).In 1903 Becquerel shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with the Curies "in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by his discovery of spontaneous radioactivity".

Scarce fourth German edition. The first part of the book deals with the generation of metals.the second with the extraction of silver by mercury. He cites alchemical literature on the origin of the earth, minerals, salts, adding clear descriptions. He excelled in the "Treatment of silver ores by amalgation, using processes that he himself had discovered and that were in large measure responsible for the wealth of the province." (DSB)."Barba was a native of the village of Lepe in Andalusia. He entered the church and became pastor of St. bernards at Potosi, in South America. While there he had the opportunity of studying minerals and mining, extraction of silver and assaying, and became very skilful in these branches of science. He embodied his knowledge and experience in the treatise "El arte de los metallos", published in Madrid in 1640 in 4to, with illustrations. It was kept as secret as possible by the Spaniards, but when Edw. Montagu, Earl of Sandwich, was ambassador extraordinary to Spain, he obtained a copy and translated two of the five books into English in 1669. The first book appeared at London in 1670, and the two together in 1674. Two German translations followed, one from the English, and long after, another from the French" and two in French from the Spanish." (Ferguson I: p.70-71). - Duveen p.42-43 (but not this edition).

Both papers first edition. The modern form of trigonometry as well of all trigonometry are due to Euler. Whereas trigonometry before Euler was concerned with trigonomic Lines, Euler's trigonometry deals with trigonomic Function. - "In the first paper Euler constructs spherical trigonometry as the intrinsic geometry of the surface of the sphere. He expresses the line element ds of the surface in terms of the longitude and latitude of a point, defines the great circles as curves that minimize the integral of the line element, and, in connection with with the determination of the minimum of a side of a spherical triangle, derives 10 equations of spherical geometry. After the discovery that the shape of the earth is that of a spheroid, Euler, (in the second paper here offered) extended his methods to spheroids. He develops this subject in its entirety.and here deduced very many of the formulas of spherical geometry" (Rosenfeld & Abramovich). - Enestrom: E:214 a.

First French edition of perhaps the most important work in plant physiology. It is in this work that Ingen-Housz for the first time expounds the ideas and experiments that lead to his discovery of Photosynthesis in plant life, and as such it is of fundamental importance in the economy of living things. "His Experiments upon vegetables was published in the autumn of 1779 and was at once recognized as a very important advance. In brief he showed, that oxygen evolution by plant is absolutely dependent on light and that it only occurs from those parts which are green.The proof that light and green tissues are both essential for oxygen production finally cleared up the apparent contradictions and variable results of earlier experiments. Priestly was "much pleased" with Ingen-Housz's experiments and pointed immediately to the salient facts that he had established." (A.G. Morton: History of Botanical Science. p. 332.).

Stuttgart, (1956). 8vo. Orig. fulll brown cloth w. gilt lettering to spine and front board" original red dust-jacket w. a bit of sunning to spine, otherwise near perfect condition. A very nice, clean, and fresh copy. 251, (1) pp. First edition, presentation-copy, of one of Adorno's most interesting and important works. With a five lines long presentation-inscription signed "Th. W. Adorno", dated "Frankfurt, 16. November 1956."Most of text was written between 1934 and 1937, when Adorno was not allowed to teach in Frankfurt, but parts of the book were written shortly before the first printing of the book, in 1956. The important and influential German philosopher and sociologist, Theodor Ludwig Wiesengrund Adorno (1903 - 1969), was a leading member of the Frankfurt School, together with e.g. Horkheimer, Benjamin, and Habermas. He taught philosophy at the university of Frankfurt, but as a Jew, his teaching position was taken from him in 1933. He went to Oxford to teach, and in 1938 he emigrated to America, where he was the leader of several sociological projects in both New York and Los Angeles. Together with Horkheimer he wrote the theoretical manifest of the Frankfurt School, the "Dialektik der Aufklärung". I 1949 he returned to Frankfurt, where he became professor of philosophy and sociology. "Theodor W. Adorno was one of the most important philosophers and social critics in Germany after World War II. Although less well known among anglophone philosophers than his contemporary Hans-Georg Gadamer, Adorno had even greater influence on scholars and intellectuals in postwar Germany. In the 1960s he was the most prominent challenger to both Sir Karl Popper's philosophy of science and Martin Heidegger's philosophy of existence. Jürgen Habermas, Germany's foremost social philosopher after 1970, was Adorno's student and assistant. The scope of Adorno's influence stems from the interdisciplinary character of his research and of the Frankfurt School to which he belonged. It also stems from the thoroughness with which he examined Western philosophical traditions, especially from Kant onward, and the radicalness to his critique of contemporary Western society. He was a seminal social philosopher and a leading member of the first generation of Critical Theory." (SEP).In this anti-epistemological work, Adorno deals with the more general question of the possibility of truth and of epistemology in principle ("die Frage nach Möglichkeit und Wahrheit von Erkenntnistheorie prinzipiell", Vorrede, p. 9), although the outer structure of the work is that of the philosophy of Husserl. Adorno comes to the conclusion that all epistemology is misguided, because it is based on some sort of "prima philosophia", an original or first principle, which cannot in reality be an absolutely first, because it is a concept, which is mediated. Adorno's work became hugely influential throughout philosophical and sociological circles, and his "Zur Metakritik der Erkenntnistheorie" (translated as "Against Epistemology") counts as one of his most important works. "It inspired Habermas and Marcuse and continues to influence other eminent thinkers in philosophy and the social sciences today." (From the English language translation by Willis Domingo).

Leipzig, Fues's Verlag, 1876. 8vo. Original printed wrappers. Minor soiling to wrappers. Right-bottom corner on frontwrapper slightly bumped. Otherwise fine and clean. XIII, (1), 82 pp. The very scarce first printing of Avenarius' Habilitationsschrift, his first publication, a work that greatly influenced contemporary philosophy, both in Europe and beyond, and was read by the greatest philosophers of the era, e.g. Nietzsche.The German philosopher Richard Avenarius (1843-1896) is most famous for his formulation of the radical positivist doctrine of "empirical criticism" or "empirio-criticism". He was not only read and studied in France and Germany but also greatly influenced Russian philosophy" he and was severely criticized by Lenin in his Materialism and Empirio-criticism (1909). In his first publication "Philosophie als Denken der Welt gemäss dem Princip des kleinsten Kraftmasses", Avenarius states: "Doubt of the correctness of my way heretofore pursued was induced through the barrenness of theoretical idealism in the field of psychology" and yet cognition and experience should belong to this science as psychological ideas." In general he here argues that it is the task of philosophy to develop a natural concept of the world based on "pure experience" and the principle of "economic thought". "Nietzsche received Philosophie als Denken der Welt gemäss dem Princip des kleinsten Kraftmasses in 1876, "and we know that he read it for the first or second time in the winter of 1883-84. Nietzsche then excerpted and discussed this reading in several longer notes, and shortly thereafter he wrote to Overbeck on April 7, 1884, stating that he needed to revise his views on epistemology and metaphysics. It is thus possible that this reading was of great importance for his thinking at the time. [.] section 14 and 15 of Beyond Good and Evil, with their critique of positivism and physiologist who emphasized the "smallest possible effort", were written in response to Nietzsche s reading of Avenarius." (Brobjer Thomas H., Nietzsche's Philosophical Context, University of Illinois Press 2008, 93 pp.).

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Robert Hayward Barlow (1918-1951) was 13 when he started corresponding with pulp magazine writers H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard. But he already had the instincts of a preservationist -- he convinced Lovecraft to stop throwing away his scrawled manuscripts after a story was published; Barlow offered to type the stories and send Lovecraft the typed copies if he could keep the autograph manuscripts. Barlow was attempting to write fantasy tales; Lovecraft -- who traveled to Florida for several extended visits -- undertook to tutor the youth in fiction writing. The two collaborated on six stories, including "The Night Ocean" (which new research has shown to be almost entirely Barlow's.) Barlow went on to write superb short stories without Lovecraft's help, including "A Dim-Remembered Story," "The Root-Gatherers," and "Return by Sunset." The older members of Lovecraft's coterie took offense when they learned he'd named young Barlow -- then 19 -- his literary executor. Barlow donated all the original materials to the John Hay Library at Brown. But Lovecraft disciples August Derleth and Donald Wandrei wanted to collect the master's stories in a book; they were not amused when Barlow published Lovecraft's commonplace book in a letterpress edition of 75 copies. They spread rumors that Barlow had pilfered books from Lovecraft's library. The macabre writer and artist Clark Ashton Smith responded by sending Barlow a note: "Please do not write me or try to communicate with me in any way. I do not wish to see you or hear from you after your conduct in regard to the estate of a late beloved friend." Barlow wrote the effect of the letter "was of cutting out my entrails with a meat cleaver," notes Paul La Farge in The New Yorker (March, 2017). He had been exiled from the literary universe that had been the focus of his life. He thought about killing himself, but instead decided to pursue an (apparently unrelated) interest in anthropology, ending up at Berkeley, where he studied under Alfred Kroeber, whose work with Ishi, the last of California's Stone Age Indians, had made him famous. Barlow's poignant memoir of Lovecraft, "The Wind That Is In the Grass" can be found in "Marginalia" (Arkham House, 1944.) In 1942, when Barlow was finishing up his degree at Berkeley, he wrote "Poems for a Competition," which won both the 26th Emily Chamberlain Cook Prize for the best unpublished verse submitted by an undergraduate, AND the Ina Coolbrith Memorial Prize. After accepting a teaching position at the City College of Mexico, where he became a noted expert on the Nahuatl language and was appointed head of the Anthropology Department, he produced a second book of verse, "View from a Hill" (1947.) Lovecraft biographer S.T. Joshi describes both volumes as "scintillating." But where are they? Afraid of being outed as a homosexual by a disgruntled student (he probably would have lost his job & could even have been prosecuted), Barlow committed suicide in 1951. Though Barlow wrote numerous learned papers, and the book "The Extent of the Empire of the Culhua Mexico" (U. of Calif., 1949), the only books of general interest in his known bibliography are the two slim volumes of verse, "Poems for a Competition" (Fugitive Press, 1942) and "View from a Hill" (Azcapotzalco, 1947). Look for them, and all you'll learn is that "their entire contents are reprinted in 'Eyes of the God,'" a 2002 anthology. Of the originals, no trace. Except that two copies of "Poems for a Competition," a 16-page octavo on quality paper in brown wraps, turn out to have been neatly hand-taped into boards and stored away in the archives of the University of California, stamped "July 31, 1942," with the words "UNIV OF CALIFORNIA" neatly hole-punched to the title pages. These were archival copies, not lending copies; they bear no card-holders or date due slips. This one is labeled "Cop. 2." In some years of looking, it's the only original we've ever found. Here reduced from $4,500.

Parue en 1722 (2 volumes in-folio) et 1728 (supplément, également 2 volumes in-folio), la première édition de ce dictionnaire constituait le complément onomastique du «Commentaire littéralsur tous les livres de l ancien et du nouveau Testament», 23 volumes in-quarto ou in-octavo (1707-1716) ou 9 volumes in-folio (1722-1726). Outre ses immenses travaux d exégèse biblique dont il est aujourd hui de bon ton de se gausser et de gros volumes sur l histoire de la Lorraine parmi lesquels une «Histoire généalogique de la maison du Chatelet, branche puînée de la maison de Lorraine» (1741), commanditée . et revue de très près par la marquise du Châtelet, muse et maîtresse de Voltaire, Calmet publia en 1746 sa très rationnelle «Dissertation sur les apparitions des anges, des démons et des esprits, et sur les revenans de Hongrie, de Bohème, de Moravie, & de Silésie», qui eut pour effet paradoxal de «lancer» véritablement le mythe du vampire en Europe. En 1754, il reçut Voltaire durant quelques semaines en son abbaye de Senones, lui mettant à disposition la documentation nécessaire pour terminer la composition des «Annales de l Empire». Ce qui n empêcha pas le dit Voltaire de formuler plus tard ce jugement lapidaire à son égard: «Ce naïf compilateur de tant de rêveries et d imbécillités»; lapidaire et très injuste au demeurant, car «ce moine bénédictin est pourtant une importante figure lorraine et peut même être compté parmi les grands érudits français du XVIIIe siècle. Suscitant l admiration de ses contemporains par l ampleur de sa science et de ses travaux, dom Calmet semble avoir eu à coeur de parcourir tous les champs de connaissance de son temps. Inlassable travailleur, grand lecteur et voyageur enthousiaste, il écrit sur presque tous les sujets qui enflamment l opinion publique, des querelles jansénistes aux récits de vampires».

S.n.e., A Londres MDCCXLIX [1749]. 16,5 x 9,5 cm, quatre parties en deux volumes 1 ff.-138 pp.-129 pp. et 154 pp.-156 pp. Reliés plein maroquin rouge, dos lisse ornés, titres dorés, toutes tranches dorées, encadrement de triple filets dorés sur les plats. Reliures légèrement usées, coiffes et coins émoussés, mors du tome II fragilisés sur 2 cm, sinon bons exemplaires. Provenance : ex-libris manuscrit de M. de Paulmy et étiquette de la Bibliothèque du château des Ormes. En 1729, le château des Ormes est acquis par Marc-Pierre de Voyer de Paulmy d Argenson, dit le comte d Argenson (1696-1764), conseiller d Etat, chancelier du duc d Orléans et ministre de la Guerre de Louis XV de 1742 à 1757. Grâce à ses conseils avisés et à son amour pour les arts, le Comte entretenait avec le Roi des rapports privilégiés. Ceux-ci ont suscité la jalousie de Madame de Pompadour, maîtresse du roi et elle réussit à le mettre en exil aux Ormes en 1757 jusqu en 1764, où il mourut quelques mois après. Amoureux des arts et de la culture, le Comte fit aménager des appartements pour ses amis parisiens appartenant aux cercles littéraires et intellectuels : philosophes, encyclopédistes, membres de l Académie des Sciences. Le château des Ormes devient alors un des centres intellectuels du Siècle des Lumières. Parmi les illustres visiteurs, figurent Voltaire, Marmontel, Fontenelle. Occupant sur deux niveaux le pavillon nord du Château, la bibliothèque abritait autrefois la collection de livres du comte d Argenson, cédée en grande partie à son neveu Antoine-René, marquis de Paulmy. En 1803, elle fut alors léguée à la Bibliothèque de l Arsenal à Paris dont elle constitue un des fonds majeurs. Le marquis de Paulmy publia lui-même en 1780 une traduction du Chevalier du Soleil avec Contant d'Orville. Antoine-René de Voyer, marquis de Paulmy puis d Argenson (1757), né le 22 novembre 1722 à Valenciennes et mort le 13 août 1787, est un diplomate et homme d'État français. Il est le fils unique de René-Louis de Voyer de Paulmy, marquis d'Argenson (1694-1757), et de Marie-Madeleine Méliand, qui se séparent de biens et de corps en 1734. Il est avocat du roi au Châtelet puis conseiller au parlement (1744), maître des requêtes (1747), puis ambassadeur en Suisse (1748-1751). En 1751, il devient secrétaire d'État de la Guerre en survivance de son oncle, le comte d Argenson, puis en succession du 1er février 1757 au 3 mars 1758. Remplacé par le maréchal de Belle-Isle, il se retire avec le titre de ministre d'État. Puis il est ambassadeur en Pologne (1759-1765), à Venise, à Rome.En 1757 le marquis de Paulmy, bailli de l Artillerie, loge par brevet du Roi à l Arsenal. Il fait transformer peu à peu le bâtiment en bibliothèque pour y loger ses livres et ses très importantes collections de manuscrits, médailles et estampes. Sa bibliothèque, l une des plus belles jamais réunies par un particulier, comprend environ cent mille volumes choisis avec soin, essentiellement des auteurs français et particulièrement de la poésie; il en dresse lui-même le catalogue et place en tête d un grand nombre de volumes des notices manuscrites, dictées ou écrites par lui, qui fournissent souvent des indications intéressantes et témoignent d un goût littéraire très sûr. En 1785 le comte d Artois achète l'ensemble tout en laissant l'usufruit au marquis et elle devint la « Bibliothèque de Monsieur », qui a ensuite formé le noyau de la bibliothèque de l'Arsenal. Le frère du roi ayant émigré dès le 17 juillet 1789, elle est placée sous séquestre, demeura sur place, et en 1797 fut déclarée « Bibliothèque Nationale et Publique » par le Directoire, qui l'ouvrit au public.Paulmy est aussi le concepteur du plan de la Bibliothèque universelle des romans (40 volumes, 1775-1778). Avec un rythme de 16 volumes par an, il voulait couvrir toute la production éditoriale et procéder à une analyse raisonnée des romans. Il a publié dans ce recueil plusieurs nouvelles de sa composition, réunies ultérieurement en volume séparé sous le titre Choix de petits romans de différents genres (1782) : Les Amours d Aspasie, Les Exilés de la cour d Auguste, Le Juif errant, Le Roman du Nord, ou l histoire d Odin. Quant aux 69 volumes de ses Mélanges tirés d une grande bibliothèque, écrits avec André-Guillaume Contant d'Orville et publiés de 1779 à 1788, il y a reproduit un grand nombre des notices qu il avait rédigées pour sa bibliothèque ; 24 premiers volumes de la série imprimés à Paris par Moutard entre 1779 et 1781 et reliés aux armes de la comtesse d'Artois, ont figuré dans la bibliothèque de Sacha Guitry (n°1 du catalogue de la vente du 25 mars 1976 - arch. pers.). Il a été élu membre de l Académie française en 1748, de l'Académie des sciences, belles-lettres et arts de Besançon et de Franche-Comté en 17563, de l Académie des sciences en 17643 et de l Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres.
