First Edition in English (1st French ed., 1952; 2nd French ed., 1953; 1st French ed. of Appendix, 1955), first printing (there are many later printings) of Leçons d'analyse fonctionnelle. xii, 468 pp; 37 pp. Original cloth. Near Fine, without dust jacket. The Appendix is Near Fine, in original wrappers. 'His book Leçons d'analyse fonctionnelle is one of the most readable accounts of functional analysis ever written. Rogosinski, in [7], describes this book which Riesz wrote jointly with his student B Szökefalvi-Nagy as follows: 'Here, in the first half written by himself, we find the old master picturing to us Real Analysis as he saw it, lovingly, leisurely, and with the discerning eye of an artist. This book, I have no doubt, will remain a classic in the treasure house of mathematical literature. With it, and with all his other work, will live the memory of Frederic Riesz as a great and fertile mathematician for long in the history of our art' ' (MacTutor History of Mathematics Web site; [7] = W W Rogosinski, 'Frederic Riesz', J. London Math. Soc. 31 (4) (1956), 508-512).…
