See pictures for further information. Charles-René Reynaud (or Reyneau), (1656, Brissac - 24 February 1728, Paris) was a French mathematician. A priest of the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, father Reyneau was successively professor of philosophy at Toulon and Pézenas, and then of mathematics at the college of Angers. He was a member of the Académie des sciences, belles-lettres et arts d'Angers and free associate of the French Academy of Sciences. [Source: Wiki] Reyneau was a priest who served as a professor of philosophy at Toulon and Pezenas, and then as professor of mathematics at the College of Angers. While he made no significant discoveries in the field of mathematics, Reyneau had a talent for explicating new discoveries in mathematics. His most important work, the Analyse demontree, was a popular textbook in the early 18th century, and was the book used by Jean le Rond d'Alembert to learn the fundamentals of the subject. In it Reyneau describes, explains, and demonstrates the main theories found in the works of Leibniz, Newton, Descartes, Bernoulli, and other pioneering mathematicians of the day.

30 S. Hldr. d. Zt. (fleckig). Erste Ausgabe. - Blake 83 (Chais); Hirsch/H. V, 480 (Sutton); nicht bei Wellcome. - Bringt zu Beginn den Brief des Den Haager Geistlichen Chais an einen Arzt namens Sutherland, der 12 Fragen zum umstrittenen Inokulationsverfahren des Daniel Sutton in England enthält, die im nachgedruckten Brief Sutherlands beantwortet werden. 'Sutton unterstützte sein Vorgehen durch Verabreichung von Geheimmitteln, die in Brechweinstein und Calomel enthaltenden Pillen bestanden, und erlangte mit Hülfe von marktschreierischen Anpreisungen gewaltigen Zulauf. Sutton scheint mit seinem Verfahren, welches später von Dimsdale genau beschrieben worden ist, nur wenige Todesfälle zu beklagen gehabt zu haben; er legte nur oberflächliche Ritzwunden an und führte während der folgenden Krankheit die Anwendung der Kälte im Sinne Sydenham's streng durch. Sein Vorbild bewirkte wohl auch, daß man den Verlauf der künstlichen Blattern sorgsamer überwachte und die Behandlung der inokulirten Personen besser regelte' (Kübler, Geschichte der Pocken und der Impfung, 132f.). - Gering fleckig.

In it Reyneau describes, explains, and demonstrates the main theories found in the works of Leibniz, Newton, Descartes, Bernoulli, and other pioneering mathematicians of the day. "Reynau is important historically as the author of a textbook, written at the request of Malebranche, that was designed to provide instruction in the mathematics developed at the beginning of the eighteenth century. . . . "As late as 1694 all that Malebranche had for Reynau to do was edit Prestet's posthumous Geometrie. But, after abandoning the last shred of Cartesian mathematics, Malebranche chose Reyneau to write the entirely new textbook required by this turnabout (1698). / "Reyneau worked with two other Oratorians, Louis Byzance and Claude Jaquemet, who were better mathematicians than he. Reyneau had some difficulty in assimilating the differential and integral calculus and was very interested in the debates, provoked by Rolle on this subject. Reyneau's editorial efforts were frustrated in various ways, and the textbook was not published until 1708." â" Pierre Costabel, DSB XI, p. 392. REFERENCES: Poggendorf, Vol. II, 619.

1st Edition. Full volume. RARE FIRST PRINTING OF BABBAGE'S REPORT ON SCHEUTZ'S DIFFERENCE CALCULATOR. Babbage thought so highly of Scheutz's engine that in an effort to promote [it], presented a talk on it before the Academie des Sciences. In the talk, Babbage describes the machine's construction and functions using his own system of mechanical notation. His speech was published in the volume offered here the Academie's Comptes rendus" (Hook & Norman Origins of Cyberspace, No. 73). Georg Scheutz [Scheuts] and his son Edvard based their calculator on Babbage's own designs. "After reading a description of the Difference Engine (by Babbage), they designed and built their own version. This machine was smaller and lighter than the engine conceived by Babbage. They used gears and levers that would have been suitable for the mechanism of a clock. In contrast, Babbage used technology that would have been appropriate for a steam engine. Babbage's engine, if completed, would have filled a room. The Scheutz engine sat nicely on a table and looked like a complicated music box. Babbage was pleased with Scheutz's engine and praised it publicly" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography). In 1854 the Scheutz's took their engine to England "in the hopes of marketing it. There they were introduced to Babbage, who received them with great friendliness and showed a lively interest in their work. Babbage devoted two whole days to investigating Scheutz'sengine for which he had much praise, especially for the way they had succeeded in building it with the funds at their disposals. (ibid). ALSO INCLUDED: M. Flourens Communique la Lettre Suivante Adresse par M. Charles Babbage is a short note discussing Babbage's presentation of the paper offered here to the Academy of Science. CONDITION & DETAILS: Complete full volume. Paris: Gauthier-Villars, 1855, in Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Seances de L'Academie des Sciences, 41.

Babbage's paper: pp. 557-560. Some faint, mostly marginal brownspots. First printing of this importent paper being babbage's report on the Scheutz differnce calculator, explaining its functions by way of his own notations."Babbage's report on the differnce engine built by the Swedish printer Georg Scheuts (1785-1873) and his son Edvard (1821-81), based on Babbage's own designs. In 1854 the Scheutzes took their engine no. 2 to England in the hopes of marketing it. There they were introduced to Babbage, who received them with great friendliness and showed a lively interest in their work. Babbage devoted two whole days to investigating Scheutz' engine for which he had much praise, especially for the way they had succeeded in building it with the funds at their disposals. As part of his effort to promote the Scheutz Engine, Babbage gave a talk on it before the Academie des Sciences, illustrated with drawings by his son henry, in which Babbage's system of mechanical notation was used to describe the machines construction and functions. This talk was published (the paper offered) without illustrations in the Academie 'Comptes rendus'. ((Hook & Norman "Origins of Cyberspace", No. 73).

First edition. On hydraulics, the construction of hydraulic machines, and shipbuilding, illustrated with a fine set of technical illustrations, this work includes the general principles of the resistance of fluids, and of the mechanics of paddle-wheels and their application in mills and pumps. One chapter is devoted to the resistance of fluids against the hulls of ships, another to a machine of the author's own invention for raising water, and the last chapter is on a new form of windmill. Ducrest was an officer in the navy and later in the army, and was chancellor to the duke of Orléans, to whom the book is dedicated. Not in Roberts & Trent, Bibliotheca Mechanica.

Edition originale et unique de ce mémoire précurseur sur l'usage thérapeutique de l'opium, ses propriétés antalgiques et sédatives. L'auteur souligne également son efficacité dans le traitement des fièvres intermittentes et des maladies spasmodiques. Dans un examen pertinent des effets physiologiques liés à la prise d'opium, Charles Louis Berdot décrit les modifications de l'état de conscience: "l'imagination s'anime, la gaieté se déclare, quelque-fois le chagrin, l'irritabilité devient plus vive, la sensibilité s'accroît, les fonctions intellectuelles se dérangent, une espèce d'ivresse, d'extase délicieuse s'empare du malade." (cf. p. 62). Issu d'une famille de médecins originaire de Montbéliard, médecin lui-même, l'auteur exerça en Alsace. Bel exemplaire très frais, imprimé sur beau papier, très bien relié à l'époque.

First printing of Busset's first mathematical paper."Bossut was one of a very few whom d?Alembert took as students, and as such he was admitted as a correspondant to the Académie des Sciences on 12 May 1753" subsequently, he rose to géométre, mécanicien, and mathématicien. In 1761, 1762, and 1765 he won or shared prizes given by the Academy for memoirs on mechanics applied to the operation of ships and on the resistance of the ether in planetary motions. He won additional prizes for his mechanics memoirs from the academies of Lyons and Toulouse, and was elected to the scientific academies of Bologna, Turin, and St. Petersburg. In 1775 he participated with d?Alembert and Condorcet in a well known series of experiments on fluid resistance. Never more than a minor mathematician or physicist, Bossut is nevertheless one of the important figures in the history of physics and engineering education. (DSB).

Die Insufflationsnarkose mit Überdruck war eine wichtige Zwischenstufe auf dem Weg zur modernen Narkosetechnik. Der Narkoseapparat von Meltzer u. Auer, im Tierversuch erprobt, bestand aus einem Gebläse, einer Ätherflasche, einem Intratrachealkatheter und einem Manometer zur Kontrolle des Insufflationsdruckes. Charles Albert Elsberg (1871-1948) brachte die Methode erstmalig am Menschen zur Anwendung. In der vorliegenden Arbeit berichtet er im Detail über 9 Fälle, insgesamt hat er zu diesem Zeitpunkt am Mt. Sinai Hospital über 100 dieser Narkosen durchgeführt. Für die Thoraxchirugie brachte diese neue Narkosetechnik entscheidende Fortschritte. cf. Gillespie in Anaest. Centennial Number, 589.
