Synopsis
Excerpt from Recreations in Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, Vol. 1 of 4: Containing Amusing Dissertations and Enquiries Concerning a Variety of Subjects the Most Remarkable and Proper to Excite Curiosity and Attention to the Whole Range of the Mathematical and Philosophical Sciences
The Recreations, Mathematical and Philosophical, of M. Ozanam, have always been justly esteemed the most rational and complete Of all that have ever been composed in any country; having gone through numerous editions, and been translated into various languages, even in their rudest state and form.
Many things, however, in the original work required much alteration and improvement, in corrections, altera tions, and additions, to adapt it to the actual improved state Of the liberal sciences. Accordingly, this task has been very abl'y performed by M. Montucla, the very learned author of the celebrated History Of the Mathe matics, who has just published a new edition Of those Re creations, in four large volumes, embellished with a great number Of elegant copper plates. Under his hand the work assumes a quite different form and appearance, hav ing been wholly new cast and composed, the puerilities and improprieties expunged, the materials properly ar ranged, and the whole greatly enlarged, with the new sciences and the numerous improvements that have been made for nearly the last 200 years, since Ozanam first compiled his /original work. So that the whole appears now rather as a new work, of the present times, than a new edition of the old one. The circumstances of which are particularly described in M. Montucla's own preface.
