PREFACE. 

C  X  HIS  Catalogue  teas  begun  in  1906  as  that  of  a  large  collection  of 
JL  hooks  in  exact  and  applied  science,  and  was  eocpected  to  reach  to 
about  three  hundred  pages.  It  grew  as  it  went,  and  by  the  end 
of  the  alphabet  so  many  more  works  in  allied  subjects,  as  well  as 
other  and  interesting  copies  of  books  already  described,  had  come  in 
that  a  Supplement  was  begun,  still  more  fully  annotated,  tchich  far 
exceeded  the  size  of  the  original  scheme.  To  this  a  final  Supplement 
teas  added,  and  the  ichole  teas  indexed  under  a  full  classification  of 
subjects. 

The  result  is,  perhaps,  the  first  Histoiical  Catalogue  of  Science 
published  in  any  country,  at  least  as  giving  at  once  the  eminent  pi^ice 
of  each  book  included,  bibliographical  particulai's,  and  many  bio- 
graphical and  historical  references  both  in  the  descriptions  themselves 
and  in  the  notes.  In  fact,  it  is  felt  that  it  will  be  found  to  have  very 
considerable  human  interest.  The  pioneers  of  science  have  never  been 
of  the  dryasdust  order,  and  still  less  confined  to  one  class,  but  have 
ranged  frotn  the  ancients,  the  Arabs,  and  the  great  company  of  the 
Mediaeval  aiul  after-Reformation  clergy,  with  the  remarkable  contingent 
of  the  Jesuits,  to  the  Lord  Mayor  of  London  ivho  first  Englished  Euclid. 
Hoio  many  coluere  disciplinam  tenui  avend!  And  hoiv  many — why 
not  acknowledge  it  ?—  are  of  our  oirn  race ! 

As  the  Catalogue  is  one  of  actual  books  for  sale  it  is  of  course  not 
complete,  but  it  is  believed  that  few  of  the  great  books  ivill  be  found 
lacking. 

The  complement  to  the  Catalogue  is  the  INDEX.  There  is  no  com- 
ptr'hensive  bibliography  of  exact  science,  in  spite  of  numerous  lists  of 
special  subjects.  These  have  often  the  defect  of  excluding  the  older 
works  as  being  out  of  date  for  practical  purposes.  But  these  very  books 
are  the  landmarks  in  the  history  of  life.      The  Index,  from  the  nature 


(>l)8862 


vi  PREFACE, 

of  the  Catalogue,  cannot  he  exhaustive,  hut  it  contains  nearly  all  the 
standard  works,  and  most  of  the  earlier  works  of  historical  importance, 
and  tvill  he  found  of  great  use  as  a  Reference-list  apart  from  the 
Catalogue ;  and,  to  increase  its  value  in  this  ivay,  r^eferences  have  heen 
included  to  two  large  scientific  catalogues  issued  after  the  Bihliotheca 
Chemico-Mathematica  was  printed. 

The  Illustrations  have  all  heen  produced  from  the  actual 
books  hy  a  photographic  process,  and  include,  hesides  facsimiles  of 
illustrations  and  portraits,  textual  passages  frovfi  historically  ira- 
portant  works.    Many  such  are  here  reproduced  for  the  first  time. 

There  remains  to  the  loriter  of  these  lines  the  pleasure  of  saying 
that  the  whole  work  is  due  to  Heinbich  Zeitlinger,  of  Linz  on 
the  Danuhe,  whom  he  has  knoicn  for  so  ma7iy  years  as  an  equal 
wellwisher  of  learning  and  of  England.  His  own  share  has  heen  the 
lesser  one  of  revision  and  proof-reading,  and  of  further  annotation 
from  that  Cyclopaedia  of  Useless  Knowledge  to  ichich  we  all  hecome 
suhscrihers  in  our  journey  through  the  ivorld. 

Lastly,  to  have  avoided  all  mistakes  no  man  can  hope;  hut  hoth 
coinpilers  can  honestly  say  that  from  heginning  to  end  they  have  never 
forgotten  the  great  precept  of  Dr,  Martin  Joseph  Routh.

This  forms  to  a  certain  extent  a  supplemant  to  the  '  Practical  Treatise  on  Gas  Light'  ('/.  v.  infra),  and  treats  the  subject 
wholly  from  a  technical  staiid])oint.  These  two  works  together  form  a  complete  treatise  on  the  state  of  the  science  in  its 
very  infancy,  while  the  line  illustrations  depict  most  accurately  the  methods  and  ajtparatus  used  at  the  time,  and  form  an 
unusual  series  of  '  Ackermann  Plates  '. 

The  discovery  of  coal  gas  was  due  to  J(jhn  Clayton,  Dean  of  Kddare,  who  communicated  his  experiments  to  the  Hon. 
Robert  Boyle  some  time  before  1(591.  It  was  first  employed  for  lighting  i)urposes  by  Lord  Dundonald  in  17S7,  and  on  a 
larger  scale  by  William  Murdoch,  who  in  1T9S  lit  up  a  part  of  Boulton  &  Watt's  Maiuifactory  atSoho,  Birmingham.

This  important  work  is  the  first  practical  treatise  on  gas  lighting,  and  was  immediately  translated  into  German,

said  that  the  prompt  adoption  of  this  mode  of  lighting  in  London  and  other  large  cities  was  greatly  due  to  his  Practical

in  the  streets  of  London,  for  conveying  carburetted  hydrogen  gas,  exceeds  2(3  miles.'  Some  of  the  plates  illustrate  early 
gas-fittings  in  private  houses,  some  of  which  are  not  in  quite  such  bad  taste  as  might  be  expected.

them  at  the  disposal  of  astronomers  in  such  a  form  that  they  could  be  used  directly  for  comparison  with  the  theory  and

The  book  itself  contains  many  curious  chemical  and  medical  recipes.  No  certainty  exists  as  to  its  authorship,  the  name  given 
on  the  title  having  l)een  assumed  to  be  a  pseudonym,  while  the  author's  real  name  has  been  asserted  to  be  Girolamo  Roscklli.

'  The  essential  novelty  of  Babbage's  design  consisted  in  setting  wheelwork  to  develop  the  numerical  consequences  of  the 
law  of  any  given  series,  thus  ensuring  the  accurate  calculation  of  an  entire  table  without  any  further  trouble  of  the  operator 
than  a  few  original  adjustments.  The  mathematical  principle  selected  by  him  as  the  basis  of  his  invention  was  the 
'  method  of  ditterences,'  by  which  it  appears  that  the  numbers  composing  nearly  all  arithmetical  series  can  be  formed  by 
the  lepeated  addition  to  fundamental  numbers  of  a  common  difference  or  'element'— a  process  eminently  capable  of 
being  performed  by  a  machine.'— Mis.s-  A.  M.  Clerlce.

Chai.us,  ff.r.s.,  and  others. 

'  Still  in  high  repute  .  .  .  The  value  of  this  catalogue  was  much  enhanced  by  the  uniform  system  of  nomenclalure 
adopted  throughout.  This  material  improvement  was  Ihc  result  of  Baily's  severe  labours  in  revising  the  constoUatioi  .<, 
and  marshalling  into  recognisable  order  the  .stars  composing  them.'— ^/ us  A.  M.  CUrlce. 

'The  mateiials  of  its  construction  are  derived  from  all  the  trustworthy  catalogues  that  have  been  executed  since  the 
time  of  Bradley.  This  catalogiie  is  distinguished  from  the  catalogue  of  the  Astronomical  Society  (7.  v.  infra)  in  two 
important  i)articulars.  In  the  tirst  plice,  the  secular  variation  of  precession,  both  in  the  1  ight  ascension  and  declination 
is  given  for  each  star.  Secondly  the  proper  motions  of  the  stars  are  assigned  with  as  great  a  degree  of  iif-arness  to  truth, 
as  tl.e  existing  state  of  sidereal  astronomy  allowed.  This  catalogue  has  proved  of  vast  service  to  astronomers  in  every 
part  of  the  civilised  world.' — Prof.  H.  Grant.

FiR-sT  Edition.s  of  the  author's  two  chief  mathematical  works.  *  In  the  Optical  Lectures  nxany  problems  connected 
with  the  rertexion  and  refraction  of  liglit  are  treated  with  ingenuity.  The  jceometrical  focus  of  a  point  .seen  by  rcHexion  or 
refraction  is  defined  ;  and  it  is  explained  that  the  ima'^e  of  an  object  is  the  locus  of  the  geometrical  foci  of  every  point  on 
it.  Barrow  also  worked  out  a  few  of  the  easier  properties  of  thin  lenses;  and  considerably  simplified  the  Cartesian 
explanation  of  the  rainbow.  The  t^eometrical  lectures  contain  some  new  ways  of  determining  the  areas  and  tangent.^  of 
curves.    Tlie  most  celebrated  of  those  is  the  method  given  for  the  determination  of  tangents  to  curves'.— IK,  IK.  It.  Hall. 

According  to  the  preface  Newton  revised  and  corrected  the  work  and  addel  matter  of  his  own.

•As  a  mathematician  he  was  considered  by  his  contemporaries  as  second  only  to  Newton  '.—Canon  Overton.  'The 
principal  i>art  which  Barrow  plays  in  mathematical  history  is  as  one  of  the  immediate  precursors  of  Newton  and  Leibnitz 
in  the  invention  of  the  differential  calculus'.— /);•.  Whewell.

The  third  German  edition  of  the  author's  complete  works.  'He  regarded  .salt,  sulphur,  and  mercury,  as  the  three 
bodies  contained  in  the  metals,  and  inferred  that  the  pliilosopher's  stone  must  be  a  sort  of  combination — a  compound, 
namely,  of  salt,  sulphur,  and  mercury  ;  so  pure  that  its  i>rojection  on  the  baser  metals  should  be  able  to  work  them  up 
into  greater  and  greater  purity,  bringing  them  at  last  to  the  state  of  silver  and  gold.  His  practical  knowledge  was  great ; 
he  knew  how  t-o  i)recipitate  iron  fn)m  solution  by  poUish,  and  was  acquainted  with  many  similar  processes,  so  that  he  is 
ranked  as  the  founder  of  analytical  chemistry.'

The  tirst  edition  of  this  cjirious  work  is  excessively  rare,  no  copy  having  liapi>ened  for  sale  for  the  la.st  20  years.  Some

never  published,  but  presented  only  to  some  public  institutions  an(l  individuals  interested  in  naval  architecture.  'His 
magnetic  observations  were  superior  in  accuracy  and  extent  to  any  earlier  work  of  the  kind.  They  .served  to  determine 
more  precisely  the  laws  of  the  diurnal  variation,  as  well  as  to  fix  the  epoch  and  amount  of  maximum  Westerly  declination

'Becher  attempted  to  revive  the  old  ideas  of  Basil  Valentine  and  Paracelsus  in  another  form.    In  place  of  mercury,  sulphur, 
and  salt,  he  set  up  three  earths  of  which  all  inorganic  ('sub-terrestdal')  bodies  should  exist,  viz.  the  mercurial,  the 
vitreous,  and  the  combustible.    The  nature  of  any  material  depended  upon  the  proportions  in  which  these  three  funda- 
mental earths  were  contained  in  it'. — Prof.  E.  v.  Meyer.

a  very  rare  edition,  unknown  to  Brunet  and  Poggendorff,  of  the  most  important  work  of  the  most  prominent  precursor 
of  Galileo  in  the  domain  of  mechanics.  He  first  explained  that  a  rotating  body  on  being  released  flies  off  in  a  tangential 
path,  thus  belying  the  old  idea  of  centrifugal  force  (as  embodied  in  the  word),  that  bodies  have  a  tendency  to  fly  out- 
wards from  the  centre  round  which  they  are  revolving.  He  also  showed  remotely  that  he  understood  accelerated  motion, 
and  that  he  had  some  knowledge  of  momentum  and  inertia.

'  In  England  the  principles  of  Huxions  were  boldly  attacked  by  Bp.  Berkeley,  who  argued  with  great  acuteness, 
contending,  among  other  things,  that  the  fundamental  idea  of  supixjsing  a  finite  ratio  to  exist  between  terms  absolutely 
evanescent  was  absurd  and  unintelligible.  The  reply  made  by  Jurin  [7.  v.  jwst]  failed  to  remove  all  the  objections.

description  is  united  in  this  book  with  precision  of  expression.  He  did  not  merely  confine  himself  to  the  simple  exposition 
of  known  facts,  but  criticised  the  experiments  from  which  these  were  deduced  with  perfect  impartiality.  His  text-book 
remained  a  pattern  for  others  during  the  succeeding  decades.' — Prof.  E.  v.  Meyer.

'  Boyle  is  the  true  jjrecursor  of  the  modern  chemist.  Besides  clearing  away  a. jungle  of  perplexed  notions,  he  collected 
a  number  of  highly,  suggestive  facts  und  observations.    He  was  the  lirst  to  distinguish  definitely  a  mixture  from  a  com- 


pound ;  with  him  originated  the  definition  of  an  'element'  as  a  hitherto  undecomposed  constituent  of  a  compound  ;  ho 
intnxluced  the  use  of  vegetable  colour-tests  of  acidity  and  alkalinity  .  .  .  He,  moreover,  actually  prepared  hydrogen  and 
c<>llecte<Ut  in  a  receiver  placed  under  water  ...     In  i^hysics,  besides  the  great  merit  of  having  rendered  the  air-pump 


available  for  experiments  and  discovered  the  law  of  ga.seous  elasticity,  he  invented  a  compressed-air  pump,  and  directeil 
the  construction  of  the  first  hermetically  sealed  thermometers  made  in  England.  He  sought  to  measure  the  expansive 
force  of  freezing  water,  first  used  freezing  mixtures,  ob.servcd  the  efl'ects  of  atmospheric  pressure  on  ebullition,  added  con- 
siderably to  the  store  of  facts  collecte<l  about  electricity  and  magnetism,  determined  the  specific  gravities  and  refractive 
powers  of  various  substances,  and  made  a  notable  attempt  to  weigh  light,'  etc.  etc.  etc.— Agnes  M.  Vlcrke.

Containing  the  logarithms  of  30,000  natural  numbers  to  14  places  and  the  index. 

'The  idea  of  tables  of  logarithms  having  10  for  their  base,  as  well  as  the  actual  calculation  of  the  first  tables  of  this 
kind,  is  due  to  Briggs.'— 2).  A^i?.  'The  almost  immediate  adoption  throughout  Europe  ot  logarithms  for  a.stroromical 
and  other  calculations  was  mainly  the  work  of  Briggs,  who  undertook  the  tedious  work  of  calculating  and  preparing  tables 
of  logarithms.'— IF.  W.  R.  Ball. 

'  It  is  plain  that  Briggs  was  the  inventor  of  the  present  scale  of  logarithms,  in  which  1  is  the  logarithm  of  the  ratio 
10  to  1,  and  2  that  of  100  to  1  etc.,  and  that  the  share  which  Napier  had  in  them  was  only  advising  Briggs  to  begin  at  the 
lowest  number  1,  and  to  make  the  logarithms  to  ivcreose  willi  the  natural  numbers,  instead  of  dccreasivg.'—Hntton.

This  celebrated  work  first  contains  the  author's  theorem  so  well  known  as  '  Caunot's  Cycle',  and  laid  the  foundation 
of  the  science  of  thermodynamics.  '  Carnot  is  now  recognised  as  one  of  the  greatest,  scientific  men  of  the  century;  and 
had  he  survived,  there  is  no  doubt  that  the  theory  of  heat  would  have  been  established  nearly  30  years  earlier  than  it  was. 
Carnot's  methods,  as  given  in  his  book,  were  not  appreciated  till  Lord  Kelvin  in  1848  drew  attention  to  them.  The  novel 
feature  of  his  method  was  the  invention  of  the  cycle  of  operations,  and  especially  the  reversible  cycle,  etc.  etc.'—

'His  fame  rests  chiefly  on  his  'Theorie  de  la  Figure  de  la  Terra',  in  which  he  promulgated  the  theorem  that  the 
variation  of  gravity  on  the  surface  of  ihe  earth,  regarded  as  an  elliptic  spheroid,  was  altogether  independent  of  the  law  of 
density'.  He  develops  in  this  work  the  first  theory  of  capillary  attraction,  and  tirst  gives  the  differential  equation,  till 
then  unknown,  of  the  equilibrium  of  fluids,  supposing  an  attractive  force,  following  any  law  whatever,  to  exist  among  the

One  of  the  most  interesting  work.s  on  the  subject,  which  gave  ri.se  to  a  prolonged  controversy  on  its  merits,  it  having, 
been  claimed  th.at  the  author's  new  proposal  of  a  nian(euvre  for  '  breaking  the  enemy's  line'  had  been  adopted  by  Lord 
Rodney  at  the  battle  off  Dominica,  April  1*2,  1782,  and  had  largely  contributed  towards  the  victory.  Prof.  Laughtou 
howe\er  has  since  shown  that  there  is  very  little,  if  any,  evidence  for  this  assertion.

First  Edition  of  perliaps  the  most  important  work  in  the  whole  range  of  the  history  of  photography,  containing  the 
first  account  of  the  invention  of  the  Daguerreotype. 

'The  discovery  of  the  Daguerreotype  was  announced  in  Jan.,  1S30,  but  the  details  of  the  pmcess  were  not  made  public 
till  August  of  tlie  same  year.  It  consists  of  exposing  a  metal  plate  covered  with  iodide  of  silver  for  a  suitable  time  in 
a  photographic  camera,  tlie  plate  being  afterwards  transferred  to  a  dark  room,  and  exposed  to  the  vapour  of  mercury,  which 
develops  the  latent  image,  it  being  afterwards  fixed.  Although  this  process  has  become  almost  obsolete,  it  was  really  the 
first  which  was  of  any  practical  value,  and  experts  all  agree  that  no  other  known  process  renders  some  subjects— e.  g.  the 
human  face — with  such  fiJelity  and  beauty,'— T.  C,  Ilepvorth.

the  author's  first  published  work,  and  excessively  rare  in  the  above  edition. 

'They  contained,  as  the  author  remarked  40  years  later,  the  gtrms  of  most  of  the  ideas  afterwards  expanded  by  him 
into  discoveries.  A  prominent  section  comprised  the  result  of  six  years'  auroral  observations.  He  had  detected  independ- 
ently the  magnetic  relations  of  the  phenomenon,  and  concludeil  thence  auroral  light  to  be  of  purely  electric  origin,  aiiil 
auroral  arches  and  streamers  to  be  composed  of  an  elastic  fluid  of  a  ferruginous  nature  existing  above  our  atmosphere. 
This  hypothesis  was  further  developed  by  Biot  in  1820.  From  simultaneous  observations  at  Kendal  and  Keswick 
Dalton  derived  from  the  aurora  of  15  Feb.  1793  a  height  of  150  miles.  ,  .  The  essay  in  thesaine  volume  was  remarkable  for 
the  then  novel  as.sortion  that  aqueous  vapour  exists  in  the  air  as  an  independent  elastic  fluid,  not  chemically  combined, 
but  mechanically  mixed  with  the  other  atmospheric  gases.'— 3/iss  A.  M.  Clarke.

'  Digby  first  described  his  well-known  weapon-salve,  or  powder  of  sympathy,  in  the  discourse  alleged  to  have  been 
delivered  at  Montpellier  iu  1658.  Its  method  of  employment  stamps  it  as  the  merest  quackery.  The  wound  was  never  to 
be  brought  into  contact  with  the  powder,  whicli  was  merely  powdered  vitriol.  A  bandage  was  to  be  taken  from  the  wound 
immersed  in  the  powder,  and  kept  there  until  the  wound  healed.  He  says  that  he  learned  how  to  make  and  apply  the  drug 
from  a  Carmelite  who  had  travelled  in  the  East.  He  first  employed  it  about  1024  to  cure  James  Howell  of  a  wound  in  his 
hand,  and  he  adds  that  James  I.  and  Dr.  Mayerne  were  greatly  impressed  by  its  etticacy,  and  that  Bacon  registered  it  in 
his  scientific  collections  '. — Sidney  Lee.

1054  DIGGES  (Leonard) :  An  Arithmeticall  Militare  Treatise,  named  Stratioticos  ;  com- 
pendiously teaching  the  Science  of  ISubers,  as  well  in  Fractions  as  Integers,  and  so  much  of 
the  Rules  and  Aequations  Algebraicall  and  Arte  of  Numbers  Cossicall,  as  are  requisite 
for  the  Profession  of  a  Soldiour.  Together  with  Modern  Militare  Discipline,  Offices, 
Lawes  and  Dueties  in  euery  wel  gouerned  Campe  and  Armie  to  be  ohserued  :  Long  since 
attepted  by  LEONARD  Digges  Gentleman,  Augmented,  digested,  and  lately  finished,  by  Thomas 
Digges,  his  Sonne.  Whereto  he  hath  also  adioyned  certaine  Questions  of  Great  Ordinaunce, 
first  edition,  with  the  Earl  of  Leicester's  arms  on  rev.  of  title,  woodcut  {twice  repeated)  of  Military 
Camp,  ornamental  woodcut-initials,  arms  {on  p.  72),  diagrams  and  folding  plan,  sm.  4to.  partly  in 
tlarft  lettei';  newly  and  finely  bound  in  mottled  calf  gilt,  r.e.,  by  W.  Pratt  {title  slightly  mended, 
and  colop)hon  and  part  of  device  on  last  leaf  missing ,  otherwise  a  LARGE  AND  fine  copy);  very- 
rare,  £8.  Ss  Henrie  Bynneman,  1579 

The  first  edition  of  this  work  is  excessively  rare,  no  copy  having  happened  for  sale  for  many  years.  A  second  edition 
was  published  in  1590. 

'He  [Tliomas  Digges]  became  very  proficient  in  mathematical  and  military  matters,  having  spent  many  years  'in 
reducing  the  sciences  mathematical  from  demonstrative  contemplations  to  experimental  actions',  in  which  he  was  aided 
by  his  father's  observations,  and  by  conferences  with  the  rarest  soldiers  of  his  time.'— 1>.  N.  B.  In  15S2  he  was  chosen  by 
the  Privy  Council  overseer  of  the  works  and  fortifications  at  Dover  Harbour.  Tycho  Brahe  praised  him  highly  in  a  letter 
to  Sir  Thomas  Savelle,  dated  Dec,  1590. 

1055 A  BOOKE  named  Tectonicon,   briefly  showing  the  EXACT  MEASURING,   and   speedie 

reckoning  of  all  manner  of  Land,  Squares,  Timber,  Stone,  Steeples,  Pillers,  Globes,  etc.  Further, 
declaring  the  perfect  making  and  large  USE  of  tlie  Carpenters  Ruler,  containing  a  Quadrant 
Geometricall  :  comprehending  also  the  RARE  VSE  of  the  SQUIRE.  And  in  the  end  a  little 
Treatise  on  the  composition  and  appliances  of  .  .  .  the  profitable  Staffe,  etc.  etc.,  ^vith 
woodcuts,  diagrams,  and  folding  table,  sm.  4to.  tiacft  letter  ;  sewn  {wanting  IJolding  table,  water- 
stained,  andafev-  headlines  shorn]  ;  RARE,  £1.  10^  F.  Kyngston,  1625 

There  is  no  copy  of  this  edition  in  the  British  Museum.  Digges  is  probably  rightly  credited  with  having  anticipated 
the  discovery  of  the  telescope. 

1056  DIGGES  (Thomas) :  [A  Geometrical  Practise,  called  Pantometria,  divided  into  three 
Bookes,  Longimetra,  Planimetra,  and  Steriometria,  containing  Rules  manifolde  for  mensuration 
of  all  lines.  Superficies,  and  Solides  .  .  .  framed  by  Leonard  Digges,  lately  linished  by  Thomas 
Digges  his  sonne.  Who  hath  also  thereunto  adjoyned  a  Mathematical  treatise  of  the  five 
regulare  Platonicall  bodies  and  their  Metamorphosis  or  transformation  into  live  other 
equilater  unifoorme  solides  Geometricall,  of  his  owne  invention,  hitherto  not  mentioned  by  any 
Geometricians],  first  edition,  with  numerous  ingenious  woodcuts,  diagrams,  and  arms  and 
printers'  device  on  last  leaf,  sm.  4to.  partly  in  tlacfe  Irttfl* ;  sewn  {title  missing  and  first  leaf 
defective  ;  also  small  hole  burnt  through  a  few  II.) ;  very  rare,  £2.  105  H.  Bynneman,  1571 

The  first  edition,  dedicated  to  Sir  Nicolas  Bacon,  is  excessively  rare.  '  In  this  book  I  find  the  eailiest  printed  mention  I 
ever  met  with  of  the  theodolite.'— Prof,  de  Morgan. 

1057 Second  Edition  :  A  Geometrical  Practical  Treatize  named  Pantometria  .  .  . 

lately  reviewed  by  the  Author  himselfe,  and  augmented  with  sundrie  Additions,  Diffinitions 
\_sic'],  Problemes  and  rare  Theoremes,  to  open  the  passage,  and  prepare  away  to  the  vnderstanding 
of  his  Treatize  of  Martiall  Pyrotechnie  and  great  Artillerie,  hereafter  to  be  published,  u-ith 
numerous  woodcuts  and  diagrams,  and  shield  of  arms,  pott  folio,  partly  in  lilartt  letter;  sound 
tall  copy  in  hj.  roan,  with  auto.  '  John  Hill,  169t '  on  p.  195  (very  rare),  £6.  6s    Abell  Jeffes,  1591 

'  Thomas  Digges  ranks  among  the  first  mathematicians  of  the  XVI.  century.  Although  he  made  no  great  addition  to 
science,  yet  his  writings  tended  more  to  its  cultivation  than  perhaps  all  those  of  other  writers  on  the  same  subjects  put 
together.'--/.  0.  Halliivell-l'Mllipps. 

'  The  21st  cliapter  of  the  first  book  includes  a  remarkable  description  of '  the  marvellous  conclusions  that  may  be  performed 
by  glasses  concave  and  convex,  of  circular  and  parabolic  forms.  He  practised,  we  are  there  informed,  the  '  multiplication  of 
beams '  both  by  refraction  and  reflexion  ;  knew  that  the  paraboloidal  shape  *  most  perfectly  doth  unite  beams,  and  most 
vehemently  burneth  of  all  other  reflecting  glasses',  and  had  obtained  with  great  success  n\aguifying  efiects  from  a  com- 
bination of  lenses  .  .  .  The  assertion  that  [Leonard]  Digges  anticipated  the  invention  of  the  telescope  is  fully  justified.'— 
Mi.is  Agnes  M.  Clerke.

on  the  i)rogress  of  astronomy  from  the  earliest  ages,  chiefly  valuable  for  the  description,  with  which  it  terminated,  of  the

in  Sicily,  in  1692 ;  with  woodcut,  8vo.  (pp.  24),  sewn  (rare),  15s  1750 

This  pamphlet  is  chiefly  interesting  from  betraying  the  astounding  ignorance  of  the  Astronomer  Royal  in  matters 
chemical  and  meteorological.  He  explains  that  earthquakes  are  nothing  else  but  explosions  in  the  air,  caused  by  the 
filing  of  the  '  nitrous  and  suli)hureous  particles '  in  the  latter,  and  rejects  the  idea  of  underground  causes  as  absurd.

Following  in  the  steps  of  Thomas  Young  {q.  v.  post),  Fresnel  for  the  first  time  established  the  undulatory  theory  of  light 
on  a  firm  basis,  and  his  investigations  in  this  connexion  on  the  interference,  polarisation,  diffraction,  aberration,  and 
double  refraction  of  light  are  of  the  first  importance.  He  also  invented  the  compound  lighthouse  lenses  known  by  his 
name. 

'His  transcendent  mathematical  abilities  enabled  liim  to  give  the  [undulatory]  theory  a  generality  unattained  by 
Young.  He  grasped  the  theory  in  its  entirety  ;  followed  the  ether  into  the  hearts  of  crystals  of  the  most  complicated 
structure,  and  into  bodie<  subjected  to  strain  and  pressure.  He  showed  that  the  facts  discovered  by  Malus,  Arago, 
Brewster,  and  Biot  were  so  many  ganglia,  so  to  speak,  of  its  theoretic  organism,  deriving  from  it  sustenance  and  explana- 
tion .  .  .  Fresnel  died,  leaving  behind  liim  a  name  immortal  in  the  annals  of  science.' — Pro/.  Tyndall. 

According  to  the  '  Times'  passim,  the  luminiferous  ether  was  quite  cavalierly  treated  at  the  York  Meeting  of  the  British 
Association,  having  been  all  but  ousted  by  the  newer  charms  of  radio-activity  and  the  transmutation  of  elements.

Londini,  excudebat  Petrus  Short,  1600 

I'UiS  IS  pkoBABLY  THE  dNLY  CONTEMPOKARY  INTERLEAVED  COPY  KNOWN  TO  EXIST.     It  bears  on  title  the  autograph 

of  JoHANN  Hartmann  (156S-1631),  Professor  at  Marburg  University,  and  the  first  professor  of  Chemistry  in  Germany 

(giving  evidence  of  the  early  appreciation  of  the  work  abroad),  is  unusually  tall,  measuring  l\^^  x  7|  inches,  and  save  for 

the  damaged  back,  and  the  title  and  a  number  of  11.  being  foxed,  is  in  remarkably  sound  and  tine  condition. 

The  work  itself  is  of  well-known  rarity.  Prof.  Silvanus  Thompson,  f.r.s.,  writing  on  the  work  in  the  'Electrician'  of 
March  24,  1905,  says,  '  This  hook  is  much  rarer  than  the  first  folio  Shakespeare ,  for  while  of  that  work  no  fev:er  ihan  156  copies 
areknown  to  exist,  there  are  only6S  copies  of  the  first  folio  Gilbert  knoion,and  only  two  have  been  sold  in  the  book-auctions  during 
the  last  twenty  years.'  The  present  offer  of  two  fine  copies  of  this  work  at  reasonable  prices  therefore  forms  a  unique 
opportunity  for  any  library  or  book-buyer  desirous  to  acquire  this  truly  monumental  work.

'  Gilbert  shall  live  till  loadstones  cease  to  draw.'— I/ryrfeu. 

Both  the  above  are  original  editions  of  this  CELEBR.vrED  WORK,  wherein  the  author 'established  the  magnetic 
nature  of  the  earth,  Avhich  he  regarded  as  one  great  magnet,  and  conjectured  that  terrestrial  magnetism  and  electricity 
were  two  allied  emanations  of  a  single  force — a  view  which  was  only  demunstrated  with  scientific  strictness  more  than 
two  centuries  afterwards  by  Oersted  and  Faraday.  Gilbert  was  the  first  to  use  the  terms  '  electricity ',  '  electiic  force ',  and 
'electric  attraction',  and  to  point  out  that  amber  is  not  the  only  substance  which  when  rubbed  attracts  light  objects, 
but  that  the  same  faculty  belongs  to  resins,  sealing-wax,  sulphur,  glass,  etc. ;  and  he  describes  how  to  measure  the  excited 
electricity  by  means  of  an  iron  needle  moving  freely  on  a  point'  [the  electroscope]. 

'  His  work  contains  all  the  fundamental  facts  of  the  science,  so  fully  examined  indeed,  that  even  at  this  day  we  have 
very  little  to  add  to  them.'— Dr.  Whewell.

first  to  procure  hydrochloric  acid  while  experimenting  with  sulphuric  acid  and  common  salt,  and  probably  the-first  to 
obtain  nitric  acid  by  the  action  of  sulphuric  acid  on  nitre.  He  discovered  the  chlorides  of  zinc,  copper,  tin,  and  arsenic, 
and  numerous  other  important  chemical  preparations,  including  sulphate  of  sodium,  which  is  still  distinguished  by  his 
name  as  Glauber's  Salt. 

*  In  theoretical  points  he  gave  proof  of  his  clear-sightedness,  explaining,  for  example,  many  of  the  effects  of  chemical 
affinity  in  the  decomposition  of  salts  by  acids  and  bases,  etc.  He  was  the  first  to  explain  a  case  of  what  we  call  double 
decomposition— the  mutual  action  ot  mercuric  chloride  and  antimony  trisulphide  upon  one  another. '—Pro/.  E.  v.  Meyer.

The  author  belonged  to  the  numerous  body  of  scientific  'cranks',  and  held  that  the  earth  is  elongated  instead  of  flat- 
tened at  the  poles,  so  that  it  must  look  very  like  King  Louis  Philippe's  head— the  wilful  ignorance  of  which  fact  by 
scientists  causes  the  loss  of  a  million  of  property  and  500  lives  yearly.  He  propounds  a  number  of  startling  new 
theories  of  physical  laws.

'  Gunter  was  the  first  to  use  the  terms  cosine,  cotangent  and  cosecant  for  the  sine,  tangent,  and  secant  of  the  comple- 
ment of  an  arc.  To  him  are  also  due  the  invention  of  the  surveying-chain,  a  quadrant,  and  a  scale,  and  the  first  observa- 
tion of  the  variation  of  the  compass.  The  name  of  Gunter's  Scak,  or  Guuter's  Lines,  is  usually  given  to  the  3  lines  to  be 
seen  on  almost  any  sector,  and  marked  N,  S,  T,  meaning  the  lines  of  logarithmic  numbers,  of  logarithmic  sines,  and  of 
logarithmic  tangents.  .  .  .  Many  rough  problems  in  areas,  heights,  cubic  contents,  and  other  matters,  may  be  performed

The  above,  the  author's  most  important  work,  may  be  said  to  have  laid  the  foundation  of  vegetable  physiology.  '  Much 
of  his  work  was  devoted  to  the  study  of  the  loss  of  water  which  plants  suffer  by  evaporation,  and  to  the  means  by  which 
the  root.«  make  good  this  loss.  In  these  subjects  many  of  his  experiments  remain  of  fundamental  importance.  .  .  . 
binding  that  gas  could  be  obtained  from  plants  by  dry  distillation,  he  was  led  to  believe  that  gas  might  be  condensed  or 
in  some  way  changed  into  the  substances  found  in  plants.  In  thus  recognising  that  the  air  may  be  a  source  of  food  to 
plants,  he  was  a  forerunner  of  Ingenhousz  (q.v.  post)  and  de  Saussure.  ...  In  first  opening  the  way  to  a  correct  appre- 
ciation of  blood  pressure,  Hales's  work  may  rank  second  in  importance  to  Harvey's  in  founding  the  modern  science  of 
physiology.'— 5jr  Francis  Darwin,  F.R.S. 

'  He  not  only  exactly  measured  the  amount  of  blood  pressure  under  varying  circumstances,  the  capacity  of  the  heart, 
the  diameter  of  the  blood-vessels  and  the  like,  but  also  by  an  ingenious  method  measured  the  rate  of  flow  of  blood  in  the 
capillaries  in  the  abdominal  muscles  and  lungs  of  a  frog.' — Sir  M.  Foster. 

A  passage  in  the  first  volume  shows  him  to  have  known  in  one  of  its  aspects  the  important  phenomenon  called  Osmosis 
—  completely  recognised  and  explained  only  in  1877  by  Wilhelm  Pfeifl"er.

This  solemn  scientific  hoax  by  an  anonymous  writer  'supposed  to  have  been  M.  Nicollei).  which  was  originally 
broached  by  the  New  York  Sun,  relates  how  Sir  John  Herschel  during  his  astronomical  observations  in  South  Africa 
made  the  most  startling  discoveries  on  the  moon  by  magnifying  the  image  obtained  by  the  telescope  with  a  pownrful 
microscope  [IJ.  Mountain  ranges,  buildings,  animals  in  motion,  and  even  flowers  (in  one  instance  a  red  corn  poppy)  arc 
described  to  have  been  observed  by  tlie  ln<!ky  Astronomer  Royal,  and  the  statements  were  taken  as  genuine  astronomical 
•  liscoveries  and  swallowed  wholesale  by  the  numerous  breed  of  the  half-learned.

'Hooke  was  a  man  of  extraordinary  inventive  genius,  and  has  justly  been  considered  as  the  greatest  of  philosoy>hical 
mechanics.  There  was  no  important  invention  by  any  philosopher  of  that  time  which  was  not  in  part  anticipated  by 
Hooke.  His  theory  of  gravitation  subsequently  formed  part  of  Newton's  ;  he  anticipated  the  invention  of  the  steam  engine, 
and  the  discovery  of  the  laws  of  the  constrained  motions  of  planets.  Among  his  own  completed  discoveries  are  the  law  of 
the  extension  and  compression  of  elastic  bodies,  the  balance  spring  of  watches  and  the  anchor-escapement  clocks,  and  the 
permanency  of  the  temperature  of  boiling  water.  The  quadrant,  telescope,  and  microscope  are  also  materially  indebted

Horrocks's  short  life  is  one  of  the  most  shining  illustrations  in  the  whole  romance  of  science.  Ho  observed  for  the  first 
time,  with  a  little  half-crown  telescope,  on  a  Sunday  afternoon,  Nov,  24  (O.  S.),  1C39,  a  Transit  of  Venus,  having  first  finished 
his  Evensong,  'ad  majora  avocatus  quin  ob  ha-c  i>arerga  [astronomica]  negligi  non  decuit.'  He  dit'd  next  year,  lb40,  in  his 
23rd  year. 

'  In  the  lunar  theory  he  effected  an  improvement  which  would  alone  suffice  to  obtain  for  him  an  imperishable  reputation. 
His  beautiful  explanation  of  the  inequality  in  the  moon's  longitude,  termed  the  evection,  by  means  of  a  libratory  motion 
of  the  apsides  and  a  variable  eccentricity,  was  the  last  great  step  made  in  the  development  of  the  laws  of  planetary 
movement  previous  to  the  establishment  of  the  theory  of  gravitation  by  Newton.'— 7  rof.  R.  Grant.

'  He  was  the  first  who  attempted  practically  to  employ  steam  in  propelling  a  vessel  in  water.  His  experiments  were 
made  on  the  Avon  at  Evesham  in  1737,  the  main  idea  being  to  have  a  Newcomen  engine — the  only  sort  then  known— on  a 
tow-boat  in  front  of  the  vessel  which  it  was  intended  to  propel,  and  connected  with  it  by  a  tow-ropo.  Six  paddles  in  the 
stern  of  the  tow-boat  were  fastened  to  a  cross  axis  connected  by  ropes  to  another  axis  which  was  turned  by  the  engine. 
Hulls  undoubtedly  showed  how  to  convert  the  rectilinear  motion  of  a  piston-rod  into  a  rotation  motion,  which  is  an 
essential  principle  in  steam  locomotion  whether  on  land  or  water.  But  HuUs's  experiment  was  a  failure,  and  only  excited

'  He  constructed  the  pendulum-clock,  following  out  the  idea  first  suggested  by  Galileo,  and  developed  and  gave 
precision  to  the  lattcr's  investi>j;ations  upon  accelerated  motion  under  the  action  of  gravity.  By  means  of  an  improved 
telescope  of  his  own  construction,  Huygens  in  16')5  discovered  Saturn's  ring  and  the  fourth  satellite  of  that  planet.  He 
discovered  the  laws  of  collision  of  elastic  bodies  about  the  same  time  as  Wallis  and  Wren,  and  also  made  a  material 
improvement  in  the  air  pump.  But  his  most  important  discoveries  aie  in  the  department  of  optics  :  he  it  was  who  first 
propounded  and  developed  what  is  now  known  as  the  undulatory  theory  of  light,  and  he  is  the  discoverer  of  polarisation.*

'A  work  that  ranks  second  only  to  Newton's  rrincijna  and  con.stitutes  historically  a  necessary  introduction  to  it. 
The  book  opens  with  a  description  of  pendulum  clocks,  of  which  Huygens  is  the  inventor.  Then  follows  a  treatment  of 
accelerated  motion  of  bodies  falling  free,  or  sliding  on  inclined  planes,  or  on  given  curves— culminating  in  the  brilliant 
discovery  that  the  cycloii  is  a  tautochronous  curve.  To  the  theory  of  curves  he  added  the  important  theory  of  '  evolutes.' 
...  In  Huygens's  assumption  that  the  common  centre  of  gravity  of  a  group  of  bodies,  oscillating  about  a  horizontal  axis, 
rises  to  its  original  height,  but  no  higher,  is  expressed  for  the  first  time  one  of  the  most  beautiful  principles  of  dynamics, 
afterwards  called  the  princii)le  of  the  conservation  of  vis  viva.  The  13  theorems  at  the  end  relate  to  the  theory  of 
centrifugal  force  in  circular  motion.    This  theory  aided  Newton  in  discovering  the  law  of  gravitation.'— /Vo/.  Cajori.

pesanteur',  which  has  a  separate  title,  the  author  'developed  and  gave  precision  to  the  investigations  of  Galileo  upon 
accelerated  motion  under  the  action  of  gravity  ;  and  there  is  no  doubt  that  to  the  clearness  of  Ms  demonstrations  his  groat 
successor,  Newton,  in  preparing  his  magnificent  development  of  the  principle  of  accelerating  force,  was  largely  indebted.'

papers.'— G.  T.  Bettany. 

2144 :  Reports  of  the  Committee  on  Electrical  Standards  appointed  by  the  British 

Association,  revised  by  Lord  Kelvin,  J.  Clerk  Maxwell,  and  Fleeming  Jenkin,  ff.r.s.,

'  The  experimental  work  of  first  making  practical  standards,  founded  on  the  absolute  system,  which  led  to  the  unit  now 
known  as  the  British  Association  ohm,  was  chiefly  performed  by  Clerk  Maxwell  and  Jenkin.  The  realisation  of  the  great 
practical  benefit  which  has  resulted  from  the  experimental  and  scientific  work  of  the  Committee  iscertainly  due  to  Jenkin's 
zeal  and  perseverance  as  secretary,  and  as  editor  of  the  Collected  Reports  .  .  .  The  volume  of  Reports  included  Jenkin's 
Cantor  Lecture  '  On  Submarine  Telegraphy ',  through  which  the  practical  applications  of  the  scientific  principles  .  .  . 
became  part  of  general  knowledge  in  the  engineering  profession  '. — Lord  Kelvin.

'In  his  Stereometria  he  determined  the  volumes  of  certain  vessels  and  the  areas  of  certain  surfaces,  by  means  of 
infinitesimals  instead  of  by  the  long  and  tedious  method  of  exhaustions.  This  use  of  infinitesimals  was  objected  to  by 
Guldinus  and  others  as  inaccurate,  but  though  Kepler's  methods  are  not  altogether  free  from  objection,  he  was  substan- 
tially correct,  and  by  applying  the  law  of  continuity  to  infinitesimals  he  prepared  the  way  for  Cavalieri's  method  of 
indivisibles  [v.  No.  735,  ante],  and  the  infinitesimal  calculus  of  Newton  and  Leibniz.' — IF.  IF.  R.  Ball.

The  author  was  one  of  the  foremost  scientists  of  Geriraiiy  during  the  XVIT.  Century,  and  although  his  works  do  not  con- 
tain many  new  discoveries,  they  are  valuable  for  giving  an  encyclopedic  view  of  the  sciences  treated  as  they  were  known 
in  his  time.     For  the  historian  of  physical  science  they  are  invaluable. 

He  is  known  as  the  inventor  of  the  magic  lantern  (originally  suggested  by  Porta),  and  of  the  aeoliau  harp  (in  the  last- 
named  work),  unless  that  honour  belongs  to  St.  Dunstan.  He  was  also  the  first  to  mention  physiological  colours,  and  to 
issue  charts  of  the  oceanic  currents.

These  two  works  form  the  account  of  the  author's  geodetic  mission  to  Peru,  in  conjunction  with  Bouguer,  for 
measuring  the  meridian  near  the  equator,  co-operating  with  another  mission  sent  to  Lapland  and  led  by  Maupertuis 
(7.  V.  pos^,  Clairaut,  and  Celsius,  to  measure  the  meridian  near  the  north  pole.  The  result  of  these  two  missions  first 
established  the  correctness  of  Newton's  views  of  the  earth  having  the  shape  of  an  ellipsoid— a  fact  previously  much 
doubted  as  the  result  of  a  faulty  nieridian-measuiement  by  Cassini  and  Picard. 

'  This  is  the  account  of  the  scientific  operations,  divided  into  2  parts.  The  first  relates  to  the  geodetical  measurements, 
and  the  second  to  the  astronomical  observations.  ]'p.  239-58  contain  an  important  discussion  of  Picard's  operations'. —

De  La  Landelle's  was  one  of  the  first  aeroplanes  suggested,  driven  and  lifted  solely  by  steam  power.  The  rather  fan- 
tastic machine  had  the  form  of  a  ship,  the  hull  flanked  with  aeroplanes,  and  2  masts,  each  carrying  four  sets  of  screws  an  I 
a  partly  folded  umbrella  to  open  if  needed  into  a  parachute.

This  work  is  impf»rtant  in  the  history  of  ballooning  as  being  the  first  to  formulate  a  theory  of  aerostatics.  The  author 
proposed — besides  many  other  curious  experiments— to  exhaust  hollow  globes  of  copper,  which,  being  lighter  than  the  air, 
were  to  ralne  the  vehicle  placed  underneath.     Plate  II  illustrates  this  fanciful  idea.

and  for  40  years  was  the  only  one  to  cultivate  this  new  branch  of  analysis  ...  He  imjiarted  to  the  subject  that 
connexion  and  arrangement  which  belongs  to  an  independent  science.  Starting  with  an  integi-al  depending  upon  the  square 
root  of  a  polynomial  of  the  fourth  degree  in  .r,  he  showed  that  such  integrals  can  be  brought  back  to  three  canonical  forms, 
designated  by  F  (<l>),  E  {(}>)  and  TT  (<^),  the  radical  being  expresseil  iti  the  forms  A  (</>)  —  V 1  —  Ic'^'  sin=«  </».  He  also  undertook 
the  prodigious  task  of  calculating  tables  of  arcs  of  the  ellipse  for  different  degrees  of  amplitude  and  eccentricity,  which 
supply  tlie  means  of  integrating  a  large  number  of  differentials.'— i'ro/".  Cajori.

The  author's  most  important  work.  According  to  Gassendi,  this  work  should  be  attributed  more  correctly  to  Tycho 
Brahk,  as  the  tables  of  celestial  movements  were  begun  under  his  direction,  and  executed  after  a  treatise  by  him  which 
had  been  copied  by  Longomontanus.  Important  as  the  author's  works  were,  he  was  much  given  to  superstition  (e.  g.  the 
evil  iuHuence  of  coinet.s),  and  his  circle-squaring  problems  turn  up  in  his  works  as  unexpectedly  and  persistently  as  King 
Charles's  head.

Though  now  chiefly  known  as  one  of  the  most  hideous  monsters  of  the  Terror,  Marat  was  previously  the  author  of 
works  of  no  small  scientific  value.  He  was  one  of  the  first  to  attack  Newton's  emission  theory  of  light— a  heresy  which 
prevented  his  elevation  to  the  French  Academy.

*  Mayer  was  the  first  who  constructed  lunar  tables  of  sufficient  accuracy  for  the  great  practical  purpose  of  finding  the 
longitude  at  sea.    This  he  did  by  means  of  Euler's  theory  and  a  skilful  discussion  of  observations.'— Pro/,  li.  Grant.

Mayow  may  be  said  to  have  laid  the  foundation  of  anti-phlogistic  chemistry  (although  it  was  not  fully  developed  until 
Lavoisier)  by  his  theory  of  combustion  contained  in  the  fir.st  treatise.  He  Avas  moreover  the  first  to  give  a  good  physio- 
logical explanation  of  the  function  of  breathing,  and  the  discoverer  of  the  donble  articulation  of  the  ribs  with  the  spine. 
He  also  gave  a  theory  of  chemical  affinity,  and  a  mechanical  explanation  of  the  act  of  jumping.

that  appealed  at  once  to  the  sense  of  symmetry  and  appropriateness  of  the  mathematician  ...  He  thus  placed  the  keystone

Surrey,  the  (observations  amounted  to  over  seventy-tive  thousand,  which  have  been  abstracted  with  the  greatest  care  by 
Miss  Ormerod.

'Morland  was  one  of  the  chief  nuclxanicians  of  his  time  .  .  .  His  most  important  discoveries  were  in  connexion  with 
hydrostatics  .  .  .  The  problems  connected  with  raising  water  to  a  height  by  mechanical  means  were  receiving  a  great 
amount  of  attention  during  the  midtlle  of  the  XVII.  century,  and  to  the  discoveries  in  this  Held  (in  wliich  Morland  Iwre  an 
impiirtant  part)  are  largely  attributed  the  subsequent  rapid  development  of  the  steam-engine  and  the  accelerated  rate  of 
evolution  in  mechanical  science  generally." — D.  X.  Ii.

First  Edition  of  one  of  the  most  important  works  in  the  history  of  mathematics,  being  the  first  to  give  an  account  of 
the  invention  of  logarithms.  There  were  two  f.^.s-wes  of  this  edition,  the  lirst  having  the  reverse  of  the  last  leaf  blank,  whil« 
the  second  contains  an  '  Admonitin '  on  it.    linth  tlie  above,  copies  are  of  the  first  and  the  rarer  issiie,  of  which  there  are  only 

5  copies  in  the  i)ublic  libraries  t)f  the  United  Kingdom,  while  there  are  14  of  the  2nd  issue.  The  second  copy  has  moreover 
the  rare  misprint  of  pp.  22  and  23  instead  of  14  and  lo. 

'  It  is  one  of  the  greatest  curiosities  of  the  history  of  science  that  Napier  constructed  logarithms  before  exponents  were 
used  .  .  .  Napiers  process  is  co  unique  and  so  different  from  all  other  modes  of  presenting  the  subject  that  there  cannot 
Ik;  the  shadow  of  a  doubt  that  this  invention  was  entirely  his  own  ;  it  is  the  result  of  unaided,  isolated  speculation  .  .  . 
Nai>i»r's  great  invention  was  given  to  the  world  in  1G14  in  a  work  entitled  Mirifici  Ingarithmorum  canonis  descriptio.  In  it 
he  explained  the  nature  of  liis  logarithms,  and  gave  a  logarithmic  table  of  the  natural  sines  of  a  qtiadrant  from  minute  to 
minute.'— Pro/.  Cnjori.

With  dedication  to  Chancellor  Seton,  Earl  of' Dunfermline,  in  which  Napier  explains  the  title  as  numeration  by  little  rods. 
'These  rods,  being  usually  made  of  bone  or  ivory,  were  familiarly  called  '  Napier's  bones '.  By  means  of  them  multipli- 
cation and  division  could  be  performed  by  methods  which  were  received  throughout  Europe  as  a  valuable  aid  to  the  rude 
arithmetic  of  the  day.  The  extraction  of  the  square  and  cube  root  could  also  be  performed  by  their  help,  in  conjunction 
with  two  larger  rods,  the  method  of  constructing  which  is  described.  In  an  appendix  'de  exp<.'(iitissimo  MuItij)lieationis 
Promptuario  '  he  explains  another  invention  for  the  performance  of  multiplication  and  division — '  the  most  exiHHi  itions  of  all ' 
— by  means  of  metal  plates  arranged  in  a  box.  This  is  the  earliest  known  attempt  at  the  inventitm  of  a  ojilculating  machine. 
There  is  also  added  his  '  Local  Arithmetic,'  wherein  he  describes  how  multiplication  an«I  division,  and  even  the  extraction 
of  roots,  may  be  perfonned  on  a  chess  board  by  the  movement  of  counters.' — D.  N.  l>.

over  Leibniz. 

'  In  this  work  he  dealt  in  detail  with  his  theory  of  fits  of  easy  reflexion  and  transmission,  and  the  colours  of  thin  plates,

In  this  edition  the  number  of  queries  at  the  end  of  the  work  is  increased  from  16  to  31,  including  the  celebrated  one 
(No.  28) :  '  Are  not  all  hypotheses  erroneous  in  which  Light  is  supposed  to  consist  in  prcssion  or  motion  propagated 
through  a  fluid  medium  ?  *  .  .  If  it  consisted  in  pression  or  in  motion  propagated  either  in  an  instant  or  in  time,  it  -would 
bend  into  the  shadow.  For  pression  and  motion  cannot  be  propagated  in  a  fluid  in  right  lines  beyond  an  obstacle  which 
stops  part  of  the  motion,  but  will  bend  and  spread  every  way  in  the  quiescent  medium  which  lies  beyond  the  shadow.' 
Query  17  discusses  the  double  refraction  of  Iceland  spar.  It  also  contains  a  new  and  interesting  preface,  mentioning  inter 
alia  :  '  I  do  not  take  gravity  for  an  essential  property  of  bodies.'

Newton's  '  Oi)tics  '  laid  the  foundation  of  the  emission  or  '  corpuscular '  theory  of  light,  which  was  soon  succeeded  by 
Huygens's  undulatory  theory.    It  contained  the  theory  of  the  rainbow,  and  an  analysis  of  the  colours  of  thin  metallic  plates.

This  work  is  unknown  to  bibliographers,  nor  can  anything  be  traced  concerning  its  author.  Yet  the  work  is  of  con- 
siderable interest,  and  even  importance,  as  it  treats  wholly  on  the  interesting  subject  of  Interference,  and  shows  the 
weakness  of  Newton's  emission  tlieory  of  light,  and  the  objection  to  his  '  easy  tits  of  transmission  and  reflexion  '  in  con- 
nexion with  it.  The  author  made  many  original  experiments  on  the  subject,  which  are  all  the  more  important  as  they  were 
made  only  3  years  l)eforo  the  discovery  of  the  principle  of  interference  by  Thomas  YouN(i.

Referring  to  Briggs's  work  on  logarithms,  the  author  in  his  preface  mentions :  'Though  we  handle  both  the  same  thing, 
yet  it  is  in  such  a  different  manner,  that  there  is  scarce  any  one  proposition  haiidled  by  us  both.'

Between  1633  and  1635  the  author  measured  a  degree  of  the  meridian  between  London  and  York,  and  in  it  first 
employed  the  compass  to  avoid  deviations  from  the  route  measured — a  fact  unnoticed  in  D.  N.  B. 

He  was  sent  out  by  the  Bermuda  Company  to  survey  the  islands  in  1610  (when  he  was  accused  of  dishonest  collusion 
with  the  Governor),  and  is  of  interest  to  Americans  as  having  in  1023  patented  lands  in  Virginia,  though  it  is  doubtful  if 
he  ever  went  there.

that  the  way  in  which  the  needle  turns,  whether  to  the  right  or  to  the  left  of  its  usual  position,  dejiends  upon  the  position 
f.f  the  wire  that  carries  the  current -whether  it  is  above  or  below  the  needle— and  on  the  direction  in  which  the  current 
flows  through  the  wire.' — Prof.  Silvanus  Thompson.

The  original  Spanish  editions  of  the  above  work  (which  more  generally  occurs  in  French  editions  with  the  author's  name 
Gallicised  as  L'Ortie)  are  of  extreme  rarity,  the  earliest  edition  quoted  by  Antonio  being  that  printed  at  Granada  in  1563. 
The  above  edition  was  unknown  alike  to  Brunet  and  Graesse,  and  Prof,  de  Morgan  possessed  only  a  French  translation  of 
which  he  mentions  :  '  This  is  perhaps  the  first  book  in  French  on  commercial  arithmetic.  I  have  not  found  mention  of  it 
in  any  catalogue.  It  is  a  good  Italian  importation,  through  Spain :  and  must  have  made  the  readers  of  the  Boethian  school 
stare  to  see  what  arithmetic  really  could  do.' 

There  is  no  notice  of  the  author  in  any  biography,  nor  was  the  work  known  to  Montucla  or  Poggendorff.

'The  addition  above  named  gives  the  first  description  of  the  sliding  rule.  The  circles  of  proportion  are  what  would 
now  be  called  circular  sliding  rules  ;  and  the  two  rulers  are  the  common  sliding  rule,  the  rulers  being  kept  together  by  the 
hand.  Various  errors  are  afloat  about  the  invention  of  the  sliding  rule.  Some  give  it  to  Wingate,  some  to  Guuter,  some  to 
Partridge.    But  the  truth  is  that  Oughtred  inventsd  them.'— Pro/,  de  Morgan. 

It  also  contains  the  first  account  of  the  author's  invention  (made  in  1600)  of  a  projected  horizontal  instrument  for

'  His  Clavis  Mathematicue  is  a  good  systematic  text-book  on  arithmetic,  and  contains  practically  all  that  was  then 
known  on  the  subject.  In  this  work  he  introduced  the  symbol  x  for  multiplication.  He  also  introduced  the  symbol  : : 
in  proportion :  previously  to  this  time  a  proportion  such  as  a  :  b  =  c  :  d  was  usually  written  a  -  b  -  c  -  d  ;  he  denoted  it

'  Oughtred  also  wrote  a  treatise  on  trigonometry  published  in  1657,  in  which  abbreviations  for  sine,  cosine,  etc.  were 
employed.  This  was  really  an  important  advance,  but  the  works  of  Girard  and  Oughtred,  in  which  they  were  used,  wero 
neglected  and  soon  forgotten,  and  it  was  not  until  Euler  reintroduced  contractions  for  the  trigonometrical  functions  that 
they  were  generally  adopted.'— IK.  W.  R.  Ball.

The  above  second  edition  is  as  rare  as  the  first,  and  perhaps  preferable  to  it  on  account  of  its  typographical  execution.

introduce  symbols  in  algebra. 

'  In  the  arithmetic  Pacioli  gives  rules  for  the  four  simple  processes,  and  a  method  for  extracting  square  roots.  He 
deals  pretty  fully  with  all  questions  connected  with  mercantile  arithmetic,  in  which  he  works  out  numerous  examples,  and 
in  particular  discusses  at  great  length  bills  of  exchange  and  the  theory  of  book-keei>ing  by  double  entry.  This  part  was 
then  the  first  systematic  exposition  of  algoristic  arithmetic.  .  .  .  In  the  algebra  he  discusses  in  some  detail  simple  and 
quadratic  equations,  and  problems  on  numbers  which  lead  to  such  equations.  He  mentions  the  Arabic  classification  of 
cubic  equations,  but  adds  that  their  solution  appears  to  be  as  impossible  as  the  quadrature  of  the  circle.  .  .  .  Though 
much  of  the  matter  described  is  taken  from  Leonardo's  Liber  Abaci,  yet  the  notation  in  which  it  is  expressed  is  superior  to 
that  of  Leonardo,'  etc.  etc.  etc.— JF.  W.  R.  Ball. 

'  In  the  mathematical  writings  of  the  monk  Luca  Pacioli  symbols  began  to  appear.  They  consisted  merely  in  abbrev- 
iations of  Italian  words,  such  as  p  for  pi^i,  m  for  raeno,  co  for  cosa  .  .  . ' — Prof.  Cajori.

• .  .  .  From  tiie  Seventh  Book,  which  is  th?  longest  and  most  valuable,  i.s  derived  a  large  part  of  our  knowledge  of 
Greek  geometry.  Many  of  the  writings  here  analysed  are  no  longer  extant,  and  it  is  on  the  indications  (e.  g.  Euclid's 
Porismi)  which  Pappus  gives  of  the  object  or  the  contents  of  them  that  the  geometers  of  the  17th  and  18th  Centuries 
relied  for  their  restorations  of  these  writings.  .  .  .  Several  of  the  books  contain  important  theorems,  the  discovery  of 
which  is  probably  due  to  Pappus  himself.  One  of  these  has  been  long  associated  with  the  name  of  Guldinus  (1577-1()43). 
Some  others  have  received  a  brilliant  development  from  the  mathematicians  of  modern  times.'

by  uniting  them  both.  To  him  is  undoubtedly  due  the  merit  of  freeing  chemistry  from  the  restraining  fetters  of  alchemy,

An  extraordinary  work,  interesting  for  having  been  written  at  a  time  when  chemical  notions  began  to  clarify  into  moie 
rational  theories.  The  author,  while  rejecting  Priestley's  as  well  as  Lavoisier's  tlieories,  tries  to  explain  physical 
phenomena  by  assuming  the  existence  of  four  elements— aether,  phlogiston,  the  acid  principle,  and  earth. 

'  The  elementary  principles  of  nature  therefore  are  three  ;  two  active,  and  one  more  pa.ssive  or  fixed.  The  two  active 
principles  are  Jither  and  Phlogiston  ;  and  each  of  these,  by  their  union  with  the  more  passive  principles,  forms  a  secondary 
or  more  fixed  principle;  a  fixed  particle  of  matter,  with  an  aethereal  atmosphere,  forms  an  earthly  particle  or  principle  ; 
and  with  a  phlogistic  atmosphere,  the  acidifying  principle.'— p.  24.

'The  Duke  of  York,  afterwards  Jatnes  II.,  a.ssist«d  by  the  celebrated  Samuel  Pepys,  as  Secretary,  did  much  for  the 
navy.  He  appointed  a  new  commission  when  he  came  to  the  throne,  with  which  he  joined  Sir  Anthony  Deanc,  the  Itest 
naval  architect  of  the  time,  who  essentially  improved  the  ships  of  the  line  by  copying  from  French  models  ;  at  tliis  time 
and  during  the  XVIII.  Century,  naval  aichitecture  was  zealously  studied  in  France,  and  the  English  constructors  were  so 
sensible  of  their  inferiority  that  even  up  to  the  beginning  of  the  XIX.  Century  all  our  best  ships  were  either  captured  from 
the  French  or  copied  from  them.  At  the  Revolution  of  1681)  the  fleet  was  in  excellent  condition,  with  sea  stores  complete 
for  eight  months  for  each  ship.  The  force  consisted  of  184  vessels,  carrying  6930  guns,  and  42,000  men,  whereof  nine  were

'  This  great  work  is  justly  considered  to  be  one  of  the  most  iinportaiit  that  has  ever  b  en  executt'd  by  a  single  individual. 
Every  star  was  observed  several  times,  and  a  mean  of  all  the  results  taken  as  the  final  place  of  the  star.  Moreover,  the 
table  of  refractions  employed  by  Piazzi  in  reducing  the  stars  to  their  mean  places,  was  deduced  by  himself  exclusively  from 
his  own  observations.  From  the  circuiustance  of  its  being  at  once  so  exteusive,  so  accurate,  and  so  independent  in  its  con- 
struction, this  catalogue  has  formed  the  groundwork  of  much  valuable  research  to  the  theorist,  while  at  the  same  time  it 
has  proved  an  inestimable  boon  to  the  practical  astronomer.' — Prof.  11.  Grant. 

'Piazzi  set  an  example  of  improved  methods  of  observation,  resulting  in  the  publication,  in  1803  and  1814,  of  two  cata- 
logues  of  about  7,(;00  stars— the  second  [the  above]  being  a  revision  and  enlargement  of  the  first— which  for  their  time  were 
models  of  what  such  works  should  be.' — Agnes  M.  Vlerke.

tangents  ...  He  was  the  author  of  a  complete  treatise  on  trigonometry,  containing  solutions  of  both  plane  and  spherical

'  Roy  selected  Hounslow  for  a  base  line,  which  was  measured  in  the  summer  of  1784  three  times  over  by  means  of  cased 
glass  tubing,  seasoned  deal  rods,  and  a  coffered  steel  chain  made  by  Ramsden,  the  length  being  27,404  feet,  and  the  dis- 
crepancy between  the  several  measurement  under  3  inches.  This  work  excited  considerable  scientific  interest,  the  King,

from  the  Hounslow  base  to  the  Kentish  coast,  and  on  23  Sept.  met  the  French  commissioners  at  Dover,  and,  after  a  con- 
ference between  them,  the  observations  connecting  the  English  with  the  French  triangulations  were  made  from  both  sides 
of  the  Channel.  A  base  of  verification,  28,535  feet  long,  was  measured  on  Romney  Marsh  under  Roy's  direction,  and 
found  to  differ  only  28  inches  from  its  calculated  length  as  determined  by  the  triangulations  of  the  Hounslow  base.'— Coi.

INWARD  COLLISIONS  of  the  foresaid  principles.  Whereby  other  subterraneal  Phoenomena,  as 
Damps,  Earth-quakes,  Eruptions,  etc.  likewise  the  appearances  of  Meteors,  etc.  .  .  .  are  from"

rare,  £2.  2s  W.  Cooper,  1675 

The  author  develops  a  theory  of  '  fermentation  '  to  explain  physiological  and  chemical  phenomena.  A  passage  on  p.  2 
is  of  interest  in  connexion  with  the  atomic  theory  :  '  Whereas  the  Corpuscularians  (who  are  now  the  most  recent  Physio- 
logists) suppose  matter  under  the  consideration  of  motion  and  figure,  to  be  the  competent  Elements  and  Principles  of 
Bodies,  we  shall  shew,  that  by  the  power  of  fermentation,  one  part  of  matter  mechanically  indivisible,  may  for  ought  we 
know  be  splitt  and  sub-divided  by  a  subtile  comminution  into  1000  perhaps  lO.O'JO  parts.' 

'The  author  seems  to  have  tried  the  effect  of  mixing  sulphur  and  nitre,  and  to  have  convinced  himself  that  mineral 
waters,  hot  springs,  volcanoes,  earthquakes,  St.  Elmo's  fire,  meteors,  and  even  the  occasional  luminosity  of  the  sea  were 
all  due  to  mixtures  of  these  two  bodies  with  water  or  vapour.'— 0.  /.  Syvions,  F.R.S.

The  best  Edition,  wliich  was  reprinted  in  1813.  The  building  of  the  Eddystone  Lighthouse  has  made  Smeaton's  name  a 
household  word  among  successive  generations  of  Englishmen  until  to-day.  It  was  built  in  1756-9  of  solid  granite  blocks, 
and  was  the  greatest  work  of  its  kind  hitherto  undertaken,  and  remained  in  use  until  1879,  when  it  was  rebuilt  as  a  monu- 
ment on  Plymouth  Hoe,  as  the  rock  which  formed  the  foundation  had  become  greatly  weakened  by  the  sea. 

'  Smeaton's  story  of  the  Eddystone  Lighthouse  is  told  in  a  very  effective  manner.  It  possesses  an  interest  almost 
dramatic,  exhibiting  a  contest  between  a  strong,  skilled,  and  determined  man,  and  the  most  tremendous  forces  of  nature.'

♦  The  leading,  and  a  truly  amazing,  characteristic  of  the  phenomenon  of  the  solar  eclipse  of  1878  was  formed  by  two  vast, 
faintly  luminous  vnng>i  of  light,  expanded  on  either  side  by  the  sun  in  the  direction  of  the  ecliptic.  By  far  the  most 
striking  observati<ms  were  made  by  Newcomb  at  Separation  (Wyoming),  and  by  Langley  at  the  summit  of  Pike's  Peak  [both 
in  the  ab  ire  volume'],  at  an  elevation  of  14,100  feet  above  the  sea.  Never  before  had  an  eclipse  been  viewed  from  anything

'It  is  however  on  his  Statics  and  Ifydrostatics  published  (in  Flemish)  at  Leyden  in  1580  that  his  fame  will  rest.  In 
these  works  he  enunciates  the  triangle  of  forces— a  theorem  which  some  think  was  first  propounded  by  Leonardo  da  Vinci. 
Stevinus  regards  this  as  the  fundamental  proposition  on  the  subject ;  previou.s  to  the  publication  of  his  work  the  science 
of  statics  had  rested  on  the  theory  of  the  lever,  but  .subsequently  it  became  usual  to  commence  by  proving  the  possibility 
of  representing  by  straight  lines,  and  so  of  reducing  many  theorems  to  geometrical  propositions,  and  in  particular  to 
obtaining  in  that  way  a  proof  of  the  parallelogram  (which  is  equivalent  to  the  triangle  of  forces).  .  .  .  Stevinus  also  found 
the  force  which  must  be  exerted  along  Ihe  line  of  greatest  slope  to  support  a  given  weight  on  an  inclined  plane— a  problem 
the  solution  of  which  had  b'?en  long  in  disjuite.  He  further  distinguishes  between  stable  and  unstable  equilibrium.  In 
hydrostatics  he  discusses  the  question  of  the  pressure  which  a  fluid  can  exercise,  and  explains  the  so-called  hydrostatic 
paradox.'— IT.  W.  R.  Ball.

4599  STEWART  (John)  Description  of  a  Machine  or  Invention  to  work  Mills  by  the  Pcwer 
of  a  Fire-Engine.  but  particularly  useful  and  profitable  in  Grinding  Sugar-Canes,  with  Plan 
of  a  Fire  Enjrine,  the  said  Machine,  and  a  Suj^ar  Mill  and  Boiling  House,  and  Appendix,  shewing 
the  Utility  of  the  said  Invention,  and  Calculation  of  the  Power  of  Cattle  and  Fire  Engines  in  Grind- 
ing Canes,  large  folding  plate  illustrating  the  engine,  Svo.  (pp.  54),  sewn  (VERY  RARE),  £1.5*  [1767] 

A  very  rare  pamphlet,  containing  an  account  of  tlie  author's  invention,  the  first  engine  for  working  a  cane-mill,  and  accord- 
ing to  Robert  Stuart,  thk  first  machink  patknted  converting  rectilinbar  into  rotary  motion.  Nothing  appears  to  bo 
known  about  its  author,  but  there  is  a  reference  to  the  machine  in  one  of  James  Watt's  letters  (Muirhead's  Life  of  Watt, 
iJnd  Ed.,  p.  274):  'One  Stewart  had  a  patent  for  an  engine  which  produced  a  rotative  motion,  by  a  chain  going  round  a 
pulley  and  round  two  barrels  furnished  with  ratchet  wheels,  with  a  weight  suspended  to  the  free  end  of  the  chain,  which 
served  to  continue  the  motion  during  the  return  of  the  engine.    I  have  never  seen  this,  but  believe  there  was  no  fly.' 

4600  STEWABT  (Matthew,  f.r.s.,  Minister  at  Rosneath ;  Prof.  Math.,  Edin.)  The  Distance  of 
the  Sun  from  the  Earth  determined,  by  the  Theory  of  Gravity,  with  2  plates,  8vo.,  Thick 
Paper  ;  contemporary  green  morocco  extra,  g.  e.  {fine  copy)  with  bookplate  of  Philip  2nd  Earl 
Stanhope,  F.E.S.,  \0s  %'d  Edin.,  1763 

The  subject  is  treated  geometrically.  The  author  wrongly  computed  the  distance  at  119,000,000  miles,  which  evoked  a 
bitter  attack  by  John  Landkn,  k.r.s.  {v.  No.  2422).

Including  his  discussion  of  the  properties  of  the  circle  and  straight  line,  treated  by  ti-ansversals  and  involution. 

'  He  pursued  the  subject  of  porisms  in  a  different  and  new  direction.  In  doing  which,  he  was  led  to  the  discovery  of 
those  curious  and  interesting  propositions,  which  were  published  under  the  title  of  General  Theorems,  in  1746  .  .  .  They 
placed  their  discoverer  at  once  among  the  geometricians  of  the  first  rank  .  .  .  They  are  among  the  most  beautiful,  as  well 
as  most  general  propositions  known  in  the  whole  compass  of  geometry.' — Dr.  Ilutton,  F.R.S. 

4002  Tracts,  Physical  and  Mathematical,  containing  an  Explanation  of  several  important 

points  in  PHYSICAL  ASTRONOMY,  and  a  New  Method  for  ascertaining  the  Sun's  Distance

rare,  15s  ib.,  1761 

*  In  these  tracts,  after  laying  down  the  doctrine  of  centripetal  forces  in  a  series  of  propositions  requiring  rnly  a 
knowledge  of  the  elements  of  plane  geometry  and  of  conic  sections,  he  proceeded  to  determine  in  the  same  manner  '  the 
effect  of  those  forces  which  distuib  the  motions  of  a  secondary  planet.'  A"  theorem  in  which  he  deduced  the  motions  of 
the  moon's  apsides  attained  an  accuracy  far  surpassing  that  reached  by  Newton.  The  result  confirmed  that  arrived  at  by 
Charles  Walmsley  in  1749  (q.  v.  post.).'—D.  N.  B.

'  In  1.553  Stifel  brought  out  an  edition  of  Rudolff's  Die  Cost  in  which  he  introduced  an  improvement  in  the  algebraic 
notation  then  current.  The  symbols  at  that  time  ordinarily  used  for  the  unknown  (juantity  and  its  powers  were  letters 
which  stood  for  abbreviations  of  the  words.  Among  those  frequently  adopted  were  11  or  Rj  for  railix  or  res  (x),  Z  or  C  for 
zensua  or  census  (x*),  C  or  if  for  c«&ws(x»),  etc.  Thus  x»  -«-  5x  —  4  would  have  been  written  \  X  -^.b  R  m.  4  ;  where  p  stands 
for  pins  and  m  for  minus.  Tlie  advance  made  by  Stifel  was  that  he  iiit.roduce<l  th«^  .symb<;l.s  \A,  lAA,  lAAA,  for  the 
unknown  quantity,  its  square,  and  its  cube,  which  shewed  at  a  glance  the  relation  between  them." — W.  W.  R.  Ball.

This  work  is  of  importance  in  the  history  of  the  differential  calculu.s,  as  having  been  the  first  to  give  the  proof  of 
what  is  known  as  '  Maclaurin's  theorem '  [v.  Nos.  2761-3,  ante] ;  but,  save  for  Montncla,  who  gives  a  full  account  in  his 
Histoire  des  mathematiques,  v.  Ill,  pp.  223-7,  the  work  is,  curiously  enough,  almost  unnoticed  in  moderft  histories  ftf

produced  these  hundred  years.'    There  is  no  notice  of  the  author  in  D.  N.  B.,  and  the  work  was  unknown  to  Lowndes.

'  It  is  well  known  that  the  Lapland  arc  was  measured  at  the  beginning  of  the  present  century  by  Svanberg  and  others 
under  the  direction  of  the  Stockholm  Academy  of  Sciences.  Lalande  alludes  to  the  early  stages  of  this  operation. 
Svanberg  obtained  a  decidedly  shorter  length  for  a  degree  of  the  meridian  than  that  of  Maupertuis,  namely  571?(5. 159 
instead  of  57437.9  toises  ;  but  the  middle  points  of  the  two  degrees  are  not  quite  identical.'— 7.  Todhuntcr,  F.R.S.

and  quotations.  In  the  chapter  on  Earthquakes  is  a  curious  reference  to  '  America,  a  conjecture  how  it  came  at  the  first  to 
be  unknown.'  On  page  443  we  read  '  In  the  Kingdom  of  Congo  be  certain  great  Dragons  with  wings,  in  bignesse  like  to

works  were  unknown  to  bibliographers  of  scientific  works,  as  Montucla,  Poggendorflf,  Prof,  de  Morgan,  etc.,  and  that  no 
biography  of  either  Tagliente  can  be  found  in  any  biographical  dictionary.

[Venttia,]  1525 
One  of  the  earliest  and  most  important  works  on  calligraphy,  giving  a  great  variety  of  spociincoB  of  handwrittn;;, 
printing  characters,  etc.,  all  beautifully  executed. 

The  above  edition,  the  second  and  probably  the  rarest  of  all  (which  consists  of  24  unnumbered  II.,  signatures  A— F  in 
fours),  is  excessively  rare,  and  was  unknown  to  Brunet  and  Gracsse.  Riccartll  mentions  this  e«litioii,  but  K'ves  a  vt-ry 
faulty  copy  of  the  title,  and  moreover  mistakenly  states  that  the  signatures  coasi<t  of  A— E  only.  The  only  copy  he 
quotes  was  that  of  the  Biblioteca  Communale  of  Reggio.  The  first  edition  of  1521  was  known  alike  to  Brunei,  Urmesae, 
and  Riccardi. 

A  copy  of  the  edition  of  ir>27  fetched  £10.  at  auction  in  189S. 

4727  [TAGLIENTE  (Hieronymo)]  Opera  che  insegna  a  fare  ogni  Ragione  de  MercaTIA,  &  a

curious  woodcuts  in  text,  and  arithmetical  diagrams,  16mo.  hf.  bound,  rough  edges  (half  the  title 
missing,  but  a  TALL  AND  REMARKABLY  CLEAN  COPY),  Very  rare,  £7.  7*  *.  /.  aut  t.  n.  (?  1528) 

The  date  is  given  on  the  title,  but  a  portion  of  the  latter  being  torn  off,  only  MDX  is  still  discernible.  Owing  to  the 
extreme  rarity  of  all  the  works  of  both  Taglientes,  no  complete  bibliography  of  their  works  and  e<iitions  has  ever  been 
given,  and  it  is  therefore  impossible  to  identify  this,  or  the  edition  given  below.  It  coqsists  of  88  leaves,  or  sigiiaturcH 
A  to  Z  in  fours,  the  la.st  1.  being  blank. 

4728  Another  Edition,  printed  in  gotl&ic  letter,  with  numerous  woodcuts  and  ornaments, 

16mo.  boards  {wanting  title,  and  with  a  small  hole  going  through  the  larger  part  of  the  toork) ; 
very  rare,  £5.  lOs  '  s.  I.  aut  a. 

The  collation  of  this  eflition  agrees  exactly  with  the  one  above,  but  the  different  spelling,  as  well  as  some  woodcut 
ornaments  varying  from  those  in  it,  mark  it  as  a  distinct,  and  judging  from  internal  evidence,  earlier  edition. 

According  to  Cicogna  (in  'Saggio  di  Bibliografia  Veneziana  ')  the  author  wrote  the  work  at  the  request  of  his  kinsinan 
Giovanni  Antonio.     It  resembles  to  some  extent  the  latter's  Opera  Noca  (q.  v.  supra).

Although  railways  were  a  purely  English  invention,  it  must  have  been  satisfactory  to  Mr.  B.  Sawin  to  be  assured  in  the 
preface  that  'the  general  extension  of  railways  in  the  United  States  is  one  effect  of  that  enlightened  constitution  of

Forming  to  some  extent  a  continuation  of  the  Arithtnetica  (q.  v.  infra).  '  In  this  he  showed  how  the  coefficients  of  x 
in  the  expansion  of  (l+x>  could  be  calculated,  by  the  use  of  an  arithmetical  triangle,  from  those  in  the  expansion  of 
(1  +»)"^^  for  the  cases  when  n  is  equal  to  2,  3,  4,  5,  or  6.  The  treatise  on  arithmetic  and  numbers  is  one  of  the  chief 
authorities  for  our  knowledge  of  the  early  Italian  algorism.  It  is  verbose,  but  gives  a  clear  account  of  the  different  arith- 
metical methods  then  in  use,  and  has  numerous  historical  notes  which,  as  far  as  we  can  judge,  are  trustworthy,  and  are 
ultimately  the  authorities  for  many  of  the  statements  in  the  last  chapter  [of  Mr.  Ball's  'History  of  Mathematics'].  It 
contains  an  immense  number  of  que.stions  on  every  kind  of  problem  which  would  be  likely  to  occur  in  mercantile  arith- 
metic, and  there  are  several  attempts  to  frame  algebraical  formula^,  suitable  for  particular  problems.  These  problems 
give  incidentally  a  good  deal  of  infonnation  as  to  the  ordinary  life  and  commercial  customs  of  the  time,*  etc.  etc.  etc. —

In  the  Nova  Scientia  the  author  investigates  the  fall  of  bodies  under  gravity,  and  first  makes  known  the  theorem  that 
the  range  of  projectiles  is  largest  if  the  angle  of  projection  is  45°  ;  while  in  the  Quesiti  (which  contains  a  dedication  to 
Henry  Vlll.)  the  author  claims  the  invention  of  the  theorem  for  .solving  cubic  equations  (known  as  '  Cardan's  Formula'), 
which  was  treacherously  published  by  Cardan  in  1645  as  his  own  in  his  Ars  Magna.  See  No.  684,  ante.  It  further 
contains  investigations  on  gunnery, the  composil  ion  of  Gunpowder,  the  invention  of  which  the  author  ascribed  to  Archimedes, 
and  chapters  on  fortification  ;  and  gives  interesting  autobiographical  information.

Lagrange  in  1772.  In  this  work  Taylor  also  applied  the  calculus  for  the  solution  of  several  problems  which  had  baffled 
previous  investigators.  For  the  first  time  he  determined  the  differential  equation  of  the  jiath  of  a  ray  of  light  when 
traversing  a  heterogeneous  medium.  He  also  discussed  the  foim  of  the  catenary  and  the  detenninatiou  of  the  centre!

The  first  is  the  author's  most  important  work,  and  historically  of  great  interest  as  being  the  first  revolt  anainst  th« 
Aristotelian  basis  of  physics  (for  which  reason  it  was  promptly  placed  on  the  Index].  The  author  only  recognises 
three  principles :  heat  and  colil,  which  are  immaterial  and  active,  and  matter,  the  leading  principle.  Tlie  (Irst  two  are  tlie 
active  principles  which  have  formed  the  universe  and  the  earth  out  of  matter,  which  latter  id  supitosed  to  potisess  no 
active  forces  in  itself. 

In  astronomy  he  declares  for  a  geocentric  system.  Hearing  is  caused  by  the  movement  of  air,  while  sound  is  the  result 
of  the  mutual  and  violent  concussion  of  bodies. 

The  Telesian  system  gained  many  followers,  and  exerted  a  great  influence  on  the  pliilosophlcal  views  of  Ids  contemn, 
oraries.  Sir  Francis  Bacon,  Giordano  Bruno,  and  CamjKinella  praise  him  as  the  first  successful  oi)ponent  of  the  wripatetic 
school,  and  his  claim  to  fame  still  lies  in  the  fact  that  he  was  the  first  to  lead  natural  science  into  new  and  more  rational

The  author's  most  important  work,  containing  all  his  discoveries. 

'  His  great  discovery  was  the  interpretation  of  the  previously  known  fact  that  water  will  rise  in  a  suction  pump  only  to 
the  height  of  about  32  feet— the  idea  that  the  column  of  fluid  is  sustained  by  the  pressure  of  the  atmosphere  on  the  open 
surface  of  fluid.  The  vacuum  in  the  barometer  is  i\\e  Torricdlian  vacuum ;  and  the  barometer  is  sometimes  called  the 
Torricellian  tube.  Torricelli  also  effected  the  quadrature  of  the  cycloid— in  this  he  was  anticipated  by  Roberval— and 
made  other  mathematical  discoveries.  To  him  is  due  the  fundamental  principles  of  Hydromechanics  ;  and  he  made  and 
greatly  improved  both  telescopes  and  microscopes.'

wise a  sound  copy) ;  RARE,  £1.  10*  Parisiis,  ex  ojfficina  Rob.  Stephani,  1538 

The  first  work  on  arithmetic  by  an  English  author,  and  'decidedly  the  most  classical  book  which  ever  was  written  on 
the  subject  in  Latin,  both  in  purity  of  style  and  goodness  of  matter.  The  author  had  read  everything  on  the  subject,  in 
every  language  which  he  knew  .  .  .  and  had  spent  much  time  in  licking  what  he  found  into  shape.  For  plain  common 
sense,  well  expressed,  and  learning  most  visible  in  the  habits  it  had  lormed,  Tonstall's  book  has  been  rarely  surpassed, 
and  never  in  the  subject  of  which  it  treats.'— Fro/,  de  Morgan. 

The  book  is  dedicated  to  his  friend  Sir  Thomas  More,  and  gains  further  interest  as  showing  the  greatest  figure  in  the 
Catholic  as  opposed  to  the  Genevan  Reformation  in  England  as  a  proficient  in  the  exact  sciences  of  a  very  high  order  for 
his  time.

Vol.  II  contains  the  first  published  account  of  Sir  Isaac  Newton's  Invention  of  the  fluxional  calculus. 

'  In  mathematical  history  Wallis  ranks  as  the  greatest  of  Newton's  English  precursors.  He  was  as  laborious  as  he  was 
original  ;  and,  by  the  judicious  use  of  his  powers  of  generalisation,  he  prepared  all  the  subsequent  discoveries  of  that  age. 
The  principles  of  analogy  and  continuity  were  introduced  by  him  into  mathematical  science.  His  interpretation  of 
negative  exponents  and  unrestricted  employment  of  fractional  exponents  greatly  widened  the  range  of  higher  algebra. 
Finally,  he  invented  the  symbol  for  infinity,  oo.'— j\iiss  A.  M.  Gierke.

various  modes  of  production  of  articulate  sounds.     It  led  Amman,  the  writer  of  the  second  tract,  to  his  invention  of  a

One  of  the  classics  of  mechanics,  containing  the  first  exhaustive  treatment  of  the  theory  of  the  collision  of  bodies  con- 
sidered as  imperfectly  elastic  bodies— being  the  solution  of  a  problem  propounded  by  the  Royal   Society— while  Sir 
Christopher  Wren  and  Huygens  treated  the  subject  simultaneously,  but  confined  their  theory  to  perfectly  elastic  bodies. 
On  these  investigations,  according  to  Prof.  Mach,  Sir  Isaac  Newton  based  his  researches  c  ntained  in  the  Principia, 

'  Wallis  geht  von  deni  Grundsatze  aus,  dass  das  Moment,  das  Produkt  aus  der  Masse  (Pondu.s)  und  der  Geschwindigkeit 
(Celeritas),  bei  dem  Stosse  maassgebend  sei.  Durch  dieses  Moment  wird  die  Kraft  des  Stos.ses  bestimmt.  Stossen  zwei 
(unelastische)  Korper  mit  gleichen  Momenten  aufeinander,  so  besteht  nach  dem  Stoss  Ruhe.  Bei  ungleichen  Momenten 
ergibt  die  Differenz  der  Momente  das  Moment  nach  dem  Stosse.' — Prof.  Mach.

'The  first  to  form  any  definite  idea  as  to  the  constitution  of  the  stellar  system  was  Thomas  Wright,  the  son  of  a 
carpenter  living  at  Byer's  Green,  near  Durham.  With  him  originated  what  has  been  called  the  'Grindstone  Theory'  of 
the  universe,  which  regarded  the  Milky  Way  as  the  projection  on  the  sphere  of  a  stratum  or  disc  of  stars  (our  sun 
occupying  a  position  near  the  centre),  similar  in  magnitude  and  distribution  to  the  lucid  orbs  of  the  constellations.' — 
Miss  A.  M.  Gierke. 

The  work  moreover  contains  the  first  definite  suggestion  that  Siturn's  ring  consisted  of  a  multitude  of  unconnected 
particles,  each  revolving  independently  round  the  planet.  J.  Clerk  Maxwell  iu  1S57  demonstrated  this  as  the  only 
scientifically  tenable  theory  against  the  hypotheses  of  solid  or  fluid  rings.

*  He  was  one  of  the  most  clear-sighted  men  who  have  ever  lived,  but  he  had  the  misfortune  to  be  too  greatly  superior  ia 
sagacity  to  his  contemporaries.  They  gazed  at  him  with  astonishment,  but  could  not  always  follow  the  bold  flights  of  his 
intellect,  ami  thus  a  multitude  of  his  most  important  ideas  lay  burled  and  forgotten  .  .  .  till  a  later  generation  in  tardy 
advance  remade  his  discoveries  and  convinced  Itself  of  the  accuracy  and  force  of  his  inferences  '.—llelmholtz.

this  forms  to  a  certain  extent  a  supplement  to  the  '  Practical  Treatise  on  Gas  Light '  ((/.  v.  infra),  and  treats  the  subject 
wholly  from  a  technical  standpoint.  These  two  works  together  form  a  complete  treatise  on  the  state  of  the  science  in  its 
very  infancy,  while  the  fine  illustrations  depict  most  accurately  the  methods  and  apparatus  used  at  the  time,  and  form  an 
unusual  series  of  '  Ackermann  Plates  '. 

The  di.scovery  of  coalgas  was  due  to  John  Clayton,  Dean  of  Kildare,  who  communicated  his  experiments  to  the  Hon. 
Robert  Boyle  some  time  before  1691.  It  was  first  employed  for  lighting  purposes  by  Lord  Dundonald  in  1787,  and  on  a 
larger  scale  by  William  Murdoch,  who  in  1798  lit  up  a  part  of  Boulton  &  Watt's  Manufactory  at  Hoho,  Birmingham.

This  important  work  is  the  first  practical  treatise  on  gas  liohtino,  and  was  immediately  translated  into  German, 
French,  and  Italian.  The  author  was  engineer  of  the  London  Chartered  Gaslight  and  Coke  Co.,  formed  in  ISIO,  and  '  it  is 
said  that  the  prompt  adoption  of  this  mode  of  lighting  in  London  and  other  large  cities  was  greatly  due  to  his  Practical 
Trtatine  on  Gas  Light.'— D.  N.  11. 

The  above  two  editions,  besides  a  few  additions,  contain  an  interesting  preface  :  'A  large  part  of  London  is  illuminated 
with  Gas-Light,  more  than  4000  Argand's  lamps  now  burn  coal  gas  in  this  metropolis  .  .  .  The  total  length  of  main  pipes 
deposited  in  the  streets  of  London,  for  conveying  carburetted  hy<lrogen  gas,  exceeds  20  miles.'  Some  of  the  plates  illustrate 
early  gas-fittings  in  private  houses,  some  of  which  are  not  in  quite  such  bad  taste  as  might  be  expected.

The  above  copies,  save  for  the  slight  defect  mentioned  in  the  first-named,  are  in  unusually  fine  condition,  nearly  all 
copies  occurring  for  sale  being  more  or  less  browned.  These  early  fditions  contain  moreover  the  best  impressions  of  the 
fine  woodcuts,  which  are  greatly  inferior  in  those  published  in  the  XVlIth  Century. 

The  work  is  becoming  rapidly  rare  and  increasing  in  value,  a  copy  of  the  little-valued  German  translation  having 
fetched  £7.  15s  at  auction  only  a  few  months  ago. 

'  It  remained  for  a  long  time  the  most  important  textbook  of  mineralogy  ...  It  is  characterised  by  a  clearness  of 
expression,  a  temperate  conception  of  the  operations  described,  and  a  distinct  description  both  of  the  apparatus  employed 
and  the  processes  followed— qualities  which  stamp  Agricola  as  a  true  investigator.  It  was  through  this  work  that  the 
more  important  operations  in  the  working  up  of  ores  for  their  metals  first  became  generally  known  ;  and  Agricola  was  likewise 
the  first  to  explain  intelligibly  the  manufacture  of  other  products  obtained  by  smelting,  and  of  various  preparations  of 
technical  importance.' — Prof.  E.  v.  Meyer.  The  woodcuts  illustrating  the  work  are  remarkably  good,  and  important  as 
the  first  exhaustive  pictorial  account  of  the  machinery  and  processes  in  Mining  and  Metallurgy  then  in  vogue. 

The  author,  whose  real  name  was  Bauer,  was  the  first  to  give  a  full  account  of  the  chemistry  of  metals.  He  also 
discovered  bismuth,  and  in  mineralogy  distinguished  between  simple  and  compound  minerals,  the  first  of  which  he 
divided  into  earth.«,  concretions,  stones,  and  metals.  In  '  De  Re  Metallica'  th3  aulhor  states  that  mineral  sub.stances  may 
be  recognised  by  the  colouring  of  a  flame  on  burning  them—  the  first  suggestion  of  blow-pipe  analysis.

'  In  the  Optical  Lectures  many  problems  connected  with  the  reflexion  and  refraction  of  light  are  treated  with 
ingenuity.  The  geometrical  focus  of  a  point  seen  by  reflexion  or  refraction  is  defined  ;  and  it  is  explained  that  the  image 
of  an  object  is  the  locus  of  the  geometrical  foci  of  every  point  on  it.  Barrow  also  worked  out  a  few  of  the  easier 
properties  of  thin  lenses;  and  considerably  simplified  the  Cartesian  exiWanation  of  the  rainbow.  The  geometrical 
lectures  contain  some  rew  ways  of  determining  the  areas  and  tangents  of  curves.  The  most  celebrated  of  these  is  the 
method  given  for  the  determination  of  tangents  to  curves'.— JF.  IV.  K.  Ball.

'  Babbage's  TaUe  of  the  Logarithms  is  the  best  for  ordinary  use.  Great  pains  were  taken  tn  get  the  mnximum  of  clearness. 
The  change  of  figure  in  the  middle  of  the  block  of  numbers  is  marked  by  a  change  of  typ^  in  the  fourth  figure,  which  is  the 
best  method  that  has  been  used.  Copies  of  the  book  were  printed  on  paper  of  different  colours— yellow,  brown,  gieeii,

The  first  edition  of  this  curious  work  is  excessively  rare,  no  copy  having  happened  for  sale  for  the  last  20  years,  while 
a  copy  of  the  second  edition,  which  is  far  commoner,  fetched  £3.  3s  in  1903.  Some  of  the  experiments  described  and 
depicted  are  very  curious,  including  instructions  how  to  make  Weather-glasses  ;  Water-clocks,  etc.,  Experiments  of 
'  drawing  water  by  tlie  Crane,  and  by  Engins,  of  forcing  water  by  ayre  compressed  and  by  Engins,  of  producing  sounds  by 
ayre  and  water,  by  evaporation  of  water  by  fire,  and  by  Eugins,  of  motions  by  evaporating  water,  and  by  rarifying  ayre,' 
etc.  etc.  etc.  Bearing  in  mind  the  early  date  of  publication,  its  descriptions  of  engines  driven  by  steam  are  of  considerable 
interest.    There  is  no  copy  of  this  edition  in  the  British  Museum,  nor  is  the  autlior  noticed  in  D.  N.  B. 

Page  155  describes  how  to  make  a  Frkezing  Mixture,  which  is  of  special  interest,  Robert  Boyle  having  been  credited

The  author  discovered  the  principle  of  doubling  in  electricity,  by  which  the  difference  of  potential  between  two  con- 
ductors is  indefinitely  increased,  and  which  was  immediately  utilised  by  Nicholson  in  the  invention  of  his  '  revolving 
doubler  '  ;  while  he  will  always  be  known  as  the  inventor  of  an  electrical  instrument  still  in  daily  use— the  gold-leaf 
electroscope. 

It  is  therefore  very  surprising  to  find  that  no  record  whatever  of  him  is  contained  in  the  Dictionary  of  National  Biographij.

'In  the  Auahjst  his  theological  philosophy  was  further  unfolded,  in  an  argument  meant  to  show  that  the  higher 
mathematics  involve  assumptions  which  as  truly  exclude  definite  or  exhaustive  conceptions  as  do  any  of  the  mysteries  of 
religion.' — Prof.  Campbell  Fraser. 

'  Bp.  Berkeley  argued  with  great  acuteness,  contending,  among  other  things,  that  the  fundamental  idea  of  supposing  a 
finite  ratio  to  exist  between  terms  absolutely  evanescent  was  absurd  and  unintelligible.  He  was  the  first  to  point  out  what 
was  again  shown  later  by  Lazare  Carnot,  that  correct  answers  were  reached  by  a  '  compensation  of  errors '.  Berkeley's 
attack  was  not  devoid  of  good  results,  for  it  was  the  immediate  cause  of  the  work  on  fluxions  by  Maclaurin  '  (r.  Nos.  2701-3,

in  the  2nd  edition  ;  this  appeared  in  1744,  others  in  174(5  and  1748  .  .  .  The  popularity  was  doubtless  due  to  the  medical 
rather  than  to  tlie  metaphysical  theories  which  were  strongly  blended  together ;  at  the  time  it  was  the  most  popular  of

First  Edition  in  book-kohm  of  these  two  important  essays.  They  wciv  originally  publishe<l  in  the  EDiKBi-Rfm 
Essays  {fi.  v.  po-'^t). 

'  As  a  model  for  philosophical  investlK'atiou  this  essay  was,  by  Brougham  and  Robison,  placed  second  only  to  the 
'  Optics '  of  Newton.  Its  importance  in  chemical  history  is  twofold.  By  setting  an  example  of  the  successful  use  of  the 
balance,  it  laid  the  foundation  of  (juantitative  analysis  ;  and  by  the  distinction  of  qualities  conveyed  in  it  between  '  fixed  ' 
and  common  air,  it  opened  the  door  to  pneumatic  chemistry.  Up  to  that  time  the  causticity  of  alkalis  after  exposure  to 
strong  heat  had  been  universally  attributed  to  an  acrid  principle  derived  from  fire.  Black  showed  that  they  lo.st  in.stead  of 
gained  by  calcination  ;  and  that  what  they  lost  was  a  kind  of  '  air  '  previously  '  tixed  '  in  them,  and  neutralising  by  its  acid 
(pialities' their  native  causticity.  The  effervescence  of  '  mild  '  and  non-efferve.scence  of 'caustic'  alkalies  when  dissolved 
in  acids  were  alleged  in  countenance  of  the  new  theory,  which,  nevertheless,  encountered  a  vigorous  though  futile 
opposition  in  Germany.  It  was  pointed  out  in  the  same  remarkable  treatise  that  magnesia,  until  then  generally  held 
to  be  a  variety  of  lime,  formed,  with  the  same  acids,  wholly  different  salts,  and  was  conse^iuently  to  be  regarded  as  a 
distinct  substance.' — D.  N.  B. 

The  second  es.say  contains  the  author's  great  discoveiy  of  'latent  heat ',  and  his  theory  of  'specific  heat ',  which  formed 
the  basis  of  the  discoveries  of  J.  R.  v.  Mayer,  Joule,  and  Helmholtz.

An  extremely  interesti'n(;  Manuscript,  possibly  the  one  from  which  the  printed  work,  edited  by  John  Robison, 
K  R.S.E.,  was  published  in  1803,  which  latter  itself  has  now  become  very  rare.  According  to  D.  N.  B.  'his  lectures  were 
l)ublished  by  Robison  in  1S03  from  notes  after  his  death,  eked  out  by  those  of  his  hearers,  in  two  quarto  volumes.'  If  not 
actually  the  original  MS.,  it  may  safely  be  said  to  be  the  onlv  MAN-r3(  ript  copv  that  ua.s  ever  happened  fcr  sale, 
and  should  be  of  great  interest  for  comparison  with  the  printed  work.     For  a  shorter  MS.,  see  no.  -i-lti,  ante. 

'  During  above  30  years  he  inculcated  the  elements  of  chemistry  upon  entlmsiastic  and  contiimally  growing  audiences. 
'  It  could  not  be  otherwise',  Robison  wrote  in  1S03.  '  His  personal  appearance  and  maimer  were  those  of  a  gentleman, 
and  peculiarly  pleasing.  His  voice  in  lecturing  was  low,  but  tine  ;  and  his  articulation  so  distinct  that  he  was  perfectly  well 
heard  by  an  audience  consisting  of  several  hundreds.  His  discourse  was  .so  plain  and  perspicuous,  his  illustrations  by 
experiments  so  apposite,  that  his  sentiments  on  any  subject  never  could  be  mistaken,  even  by  the  most  illiterate  ;  and  his 
instructions  were  so  clear  of  all  hypothesis  or  conjecture,  that  the  hearer  rested  on  his  conclusions  with  a  confidence 
scarcely  exceeded  in  matters  of  his  own  experience."  His  lectures  had  thus  a  powerful  effect  in  i)opularising  chemistry  ; 
and  attendance  u[K)n  them  even  came  to  be  a  fashionable  amusement '. — D.  N.  B.

This  important  work  was  the  first  which  laid  tlie  foiimlation  of  a  knowledge  of  imaginary' quantities.  'A  systematic 
exposition  of  the  knowledge  then  current  on  the  subject.  He  discusses  radicals,  real  and  imaginary.  He  also  treats  the 
theory  of  equitions,  and  shows  that  in  the  irreducible  case  of  a  cubic  equation  the  roots  are  all  real  ;  and  he  remarks  that 
the  problem  to  trisect  a  given  angle  is  the  same  as  that  of  the  solution  of  a  cubic  equation  .  .  .  His  work  is  noticeable  for 
his  use  of  symbols  which  indicate  an  ai)proach  to  index  notation.  P'ollowing  in  the  steps  of  Stifel  \_v.No.  4605,  ante], 
he  introduced  a  symbol, ^for  the  unknown  quantity,^for  its  square.^for  its  cube  ',  etc.  etc.  etc.— IF.  W.  R.  Ball.

•  Toutes  les  editions  de  cet  Abacho  soiit  difticiles  a  trouver,  et  depuis  quelques  annees  on  les  recherche  beaucoup." — Brunet. 

'  The  author  begins  by  saying  that  there  are  plenty  of  sufficiently  good  masters,  and  not  less  abundance  of  most  excellent 
authors.  His  arrangement  of  the  five  acts  of  arithmetic  is  strange  ;  they  are  numeration,  multiplication,  partition, 
summation,  and  subtraction.  He  uses  the  word  million,  and  his  numeration  goes  to  millions  of  millions  of  millions.  He 
then  proceeds  to  multiplication,  and  forms  a  table  of  the  nine  multiples  of  1,  2  .  .  .  10,  with  those  or  12,  16,  20,  24,  32, 
and  36.  He  then  points  out  how  to  jirove  processes  by  casting  out  sevens  and  nines;  in  doing  which  he  shews  how  to 
divide  by  7,  and  uses  the  sum  of  the  digits  to  find  the  remainder  9.  Then  follow  multiplications  done  each  in  one  line,  even 
when  the  multiplier  has  three  or  four  figures.  .  .  .  Division  is  said  at  the  head  of  a  chapter,  to  be  done  in  three  ways  ;  but 
only  two  are  given :  that  per  rholona,  where  the  whole  is  done  in  one  line,  and  that  jwr  batelo.  Subtraction  is  then 
explained  ;  and  after  some  applications,  the  rules  for  fractions  (which  are  expressed  inthe  same  way  as  now)  are  introduced. 
The  rule  of  three  (riegda  del  tre)  is  given,  and  a  large  number  of  money  applications.' — Prof.  lU  Morgan. 

The  first  two  editions  are  by  most  bibliographers  mistakenly  ([uoted  as  a  different  work. 

The  work  was  reprinted  in  1528,  1.540,  lo50,  l.")01,  and  15ti7.

ities of  the  modern  machine.  By  a  multitud'i  of  experiments  iwrformed  with  it,  Boyle  vividly  illustrated  the  eflocte  (at 
that  time  very  imperfectly  recognised)  of  the  elasticity,  compressibilitv,  and  weight  of  the  air ;  lnv«»tli»ted  lt«  function

One  of  the  most  important,  as  well  as  by  far  the  rarest,  of  all  the  author's  writings,  eji|K«cially  in  the  a)M>ve  flr»t  edition. 
It  was  repriiit-d  in  lOSO.  The  above  copy  has  a  duplicate  title,  rea<ling:  'The  Swptical  ChymlKt:  or  Cliyniico-Phyaical 
Doubts  and  Paradoxes,  touching  the  Experiments  whereby  Vulgar  Spigyrists  are  wont  U>  Endeavour  to  Evince  their  Hall,

'In  the  'Sceptical  Chymist'  he  virtually  demolished,  together  with  the  peri{iatetie  doctrine  of  four  eletnenta,  Ut*> 
Spagyristic  doctrine  of  the  trin  prinut,  tentatively  substituting  the  principles  of  a  '  mechanical  philosophy  ',  expounded  in 
detail  in  his  '  Origin  of  Formes  and  Qual  ties'  [7.  v.  supni'].'—!}.  N.  IS. 

'  In  his  Si'fptical  Chymist  he  criticises  the  Aristotelian  and  the  alchemistic  elements,  which  were  iitill  accepted  by  many 
of  the  iatro-chemical  age.  He  enunciatefl  the  axiom  that  only  what  can  be  demonstrnt^d  to  be  the  undoonrnponable  con- 
stituents of  bodies  are  to  be  regards  i  as  elements.  .  .  .  With  a  far-seeing  glance  he  looked  forward  to  tUf  dlscjvery  of  a 
much  greater  number  of  elements  than  was  at  that  time  assumed,  at  the  aamo  time  contending  that  many  of  the  itub«taureM 
then  hnld  to  be  elementary  were  not  really  so.  .  .  .  Boyle  was  the  Hr«t  to  state  with  jierfect  clearueMt  that  a  chemical 
compound  results  from  the  combination  of  two  constituents,  and  that  it  jxusesses  properties  totally  diflitreat  fhtm  tbOM 
of  either  its  constituents  alone,  thus  enabling  him  to  draw  a  sharp  distinction  between  mixtures  and  chemical  eompoanda.'

The  most  Important  of  the  author's  writings,  and  of  excessive  rarity,  especially  in  the  above  first  edition.  It  consists 
of  signatures  A — C  in  sixes,  and  D  in  four,  or  22  11.  in  all,  without  foliation  or  catchwords,  the  last  leaf  being  blank. 
Hain  (3712)  had  seen  no  copy  of  the  work  and  was  unable  to  give  a  collation,  which  is  supplied  in  Dr.  Copinger's 
'  Supplement.'  It  is  Mr.  Proctor's  no.  7997.  The  above  copy  is,  save  for  some  slight  pin-holes,  in  an  exceptionally  choice 
CONDITION,  with  large  margins. 

It  treats  inter  alia  of  star  polygons,  and,  according  to  M.  Chasles,  contains  '  une  theorie  nouvelle  qui  doit  faire  honneur 
an  XlVf  Siecle,'  as  well  as  '  discussions  on  the  infinite  and  infinitesimal— subjects  never  since  lost  sight  of.'— Prof.  Cajori. 
The  treatise  on  circle-squaring  is,  according  to  Prof,  de  Morgan,  probably  by  the  editor.  A  full  account  of  the  work  may 
be  found  in  Prof.  Cantor's  '  Vorlesungcn  iiber  Geschichte  der  Mathematik',  v.  II  (1892),  pp.  102-9. 

The  late  Dean  Stephens,  in  his  interesting  article  in  D.  N.  B.,  gives  1530  as  the  first  edition  of  tliis  work,  but  really 
mentions  it  under  the  title  '  De  Quadratura  Circuli',  1495.  Abp.  Bradwardine  was  as  eminent  as  a  man  and  a  theologian 
as  he  was  as  a  mathematician.  He  was  a  Sussex  man  of  Chichester,  and  an  early  student  at  Merton  College,  where  he 
wrote  his  celebrated  'De  Causa  Dei  contra  Pelagium  *,  which  became  the  standard  work  in  Augustinian  theology,  and 
caused  him  to  be  referred  to  in  the  '  Nun's  Priest's  Tale  '.  He  held  the  unpleasant  ofiice  of  Confessor  to  Edward  III.,  and 
gave  Christian  exhortation  to  the  troops  on  tlie  eve  of  the  Battle  of  Crecy.  He  was  consecrated  to  the  Archbishopric  at 
Avignon  in  1349,  and  at  once  hastened  to  his  diocese  although  the  Black  Death  was  raging  ;  was  seized  with  it  on  the 
moiTOW  of  his  arrival  in  Lambeth,  and  <lied  two  days  after.

This  is  Tycho  Brahe's  chief  work,  now  of  great  rarity,  and  very  valuable  for  containing  descriptions  and  illustrations 
of  the  astronomical  instruments  used  by  him  at  Uranienborg  Observatory,  which  for  the  first  time  made  possible 
approximately  accurate  measurements,  and  thus  gave  the  great  impetus  to  the  study  of  practical  astronomy,  which  as  its 
Jirst-fruit  produced  the  genius  of  Kepler.  Many  of  the  instruments  were  of  the  author's  own  invention,  e.  g.  the 
mural  quadrant  (quadrans  raaxinius),  while  nearly  all  others  received  great  improvements  from  him.

Observatory  of  Oranienborg  Castle,  and  including  his  Catalogue  of  Fixed  Stars,  pronounced  to  be  'more  perfect  than  any 
that  had  previously  appeared.'  The  copious  and  interesting  preface  contains  beautiful  woodcuts  of  the  astronomical 
instruments  in  use  at  the  time. 

'  He  made  the  first  table  of  refractions,  and  discovered  the  variation  and  annual  equation  of  the  moon,  the  inequalities 
of  the  motion  of  the  nodes,  and  the  inclination  or  the  lunar  orbit,  and  rejected  the  trepidation  of  the  precession,  which 
had  hitherto  injuriously  affected  all  tables.     He  also  made  some  interesting  cometary  investigations.'

'  The  idea  of  tables  of  logarithms  having  10  for  their  base,  as  well  as  the  actual  calculation  of  the  first  tables  of  this 
kind,  is  due  to  Briggs.' — D.  N.  B. 

'  The  almost  immediate  adoption  throughout  Ekirope  of  logarithms  for  astronomical  and  other  calculations  was  mainly 
the  w(»ri<  of  liriggs,  who  undertook  the  tedious  work  of  calculating  and  preparing  tables  of  logarithms.'— If'.  W.  H.  Itall. 

•  It  is  plain  that  Briggs  was  the  inventor  of  the  present  scale  of  logarithms,  in  which  1  is  the  logarithm  of  the  ratio 
10  to  1,  and  2  that  of  100  to  1  etc.,  and  that  the  share  which  Napier  had  in  them  was  only  advising  Briggs  to  begin  at  thfl 
lowest  number  1,  and  to  make  the  logarithms  to  increme  with  the  natural  numbers,  instead  of  ilceretising.'—Hutton.

This,  the  second  of  the  apparently  only  two  editions  ever  printed,  is  of  excp:.ssive 
RARITY,  IF  NOT  UNIQUE.  It  is  much  rarer  than  the  first  edition  of  1491,  and  unknown  to  all 
bibliographers  except  Riccardi,  who  however  only  knew  it  by  repute,  as  is  shown  by  the  fact  that 
he  does  not  print  tlie  title,  and  gives  the  date  wrongly  as  1515.  Whereas  6  copies  of  the  edition 
of  1491  have  been  sold  at  auction  within  the  last  10  years,  no  copy  of  the  present  one  can  be 
traced  at  all,  and  the  above  copy  is  probably  the  only  one  still  in  existence. 

It  consists  of  signatures  a  and  o  in  fours,  and  b  to  n  in  eiglits,  or  10»  11.  in  all,  with  Jut  pi?;inati<>a  or  catch rtrords.

quotient  which,  with  seven  more  like  itself,  will  make  the  dividend.  He  also  describes  the  rules  for  fractions,  and  gives

Though  chiefly  now  remembered  outside  Scotland  as  the  lionhearted  leader  of  the  Disruption,  Dr.  Chalmers, 
as  a  mathematician,  a  chemist,  and  to  some  extent  an  astronomer,  had  a  considerable  acquaintance  with  tht; 
exact  .sciences,  in  any  of  which  he  would  probably  have  made  his  mark.  His  interest  in  them  all  however  was  soon 
swallowed  up  in  that  love  of  his  fellew  men  which  as  theologian,  preacher,  and  above  all  Christian  philanthropist  in 
Glasww's  darkest  wynds,  made  him  one  of  the  greatest  of  all  Scotsmen,  and  one  of  the  noblest  of  men.

quintic  depended.  .  .  .  Cockle's  contributions  to  the  theory  of  differential  equations  were  also  noteworthy.  He  found 
that  from  any  rational  and  entire  algebraic  equation  of  the  degree  n,  whereof  the  coefficients  are  functions  of  a  single 
parameter,  it  is  possible  to  derive  a  linear  differential  equation  of  the  order  n  —  1,  which  is  satisfied  by  any  one  of  the  roots 
of  the  algebraic  equation.  From  this  discovery  the  theory  of  differential  resolvents  was  evolved.  He  was  the  first  to 
discover  and  develop  the  properties  of  those  functions  called  criticoids  or  differential  invariants.'— 1>.  N.  B.

second  is  that  of  the  two-needle  apparatus,  patented  by  Cooke  alone  (not  jointly  with  Wheatstone,  as  erroneously  stated 
in  D.  N.  B.),  which  formed  the  basis  of  the  single  needle  apparatus,  on  which  his  controversy  with  Sir  Cliarles  Wheatstone

Andrew  Crosse  was  a  country  squire  in  the  Quantocks,  where  ho  lived  all  his  life  on  his  estate,  and  spent  all  his  leisure 
for  fifty  years  in  electrical  research,  a  pursuit  in  which  he  has  ha<l  few  fellows  save  the  late  Lord  Salisbury.  In  1S37,  while 
experimenting  on  electro-crystallisation,  ho  made  the  remarkable  discovery  of  the  appearance  of  insect  life  in  immediate 
connexion  with  his  voltaic  arrangements,  and  in  metallic  solutions  supposed  to  be  destructive  to  organic  life.  The  insect 
was  named  acariLs  eledricus.  On  publishing  a  discovery  so  suggestive  of  abiogenesis  he  was,  in  liis  own  words,  •  met  with 
so  inuch  virulence  and  abuse  that  it  seems  as  if  it  were  a  crime  to  have  made  the  experiments  '  (/).  N.  B.).  The  author  of 
the  above  Memorials,  '  a  charming  volume,  full  of  graceful  and  vivacious  reminiscences ',  was  his  second  wife,  and  survived 
him  for  forty  years,  during  which  she  knew  Murchison,  Faraday,  Babbage,  Landor,  the  Brownings,  Kinglake,  and  many 
others,  of  wiioin  site  recorded  her  remembrances  in  '  Red  Letter  Days  of  my  Life '  in  1S02.

discovery  of  the  Diorama— the  delight  of  many  boys  fifty  years  ago. 

'The  discovery  of  the  Daguerreotype  was  announced  in  Jan.  1S39,  but  the  details  of  the  process  were  not  made  public 
till  August  of  the  same  year.  It  consists  of  exposing  a  metal  ])late  covered  with  iodide  of  silver  for  a  suitable  time  in 
a  photographic  camera,  the  plate  being  afterwards  transferred  to  a  dark  room,  and  exposed  to  the  vapour  of  mercury,  which 
develops  tlie  latent  image,  it  being  afterwards  fixed.  Although  this  process  has  become  almost  obsolete,  it  was  really 
the  first  which  was  of  any  practical  value,  and  experts  all  agree  that  no  other  known  process  renders  some  subjects— e.j/. 
the  human  face — with  such  fidelity  and  beauty.' — T.  C.  Hepworth.

The  author's  first  published  wurk,  and  excessively  r/vre  in  either  issue  of  the  above  edition. 

The  only  difference  betwfien  the  above  two  issues  lies  in  the  title-page,  which  in  the  case  of  Ost^U's  edition  has  been 
pasted  on  to  the  sheet.  A  clear  inference  may  therefore  be  drawn  that  Richardson's  issue  was  the  earlier  one.  The 
curious  fact  of  two  issues  existing  of  the  first  edition  has  hitherto  been  unknown,  and  probably  points  to  the  slow  sale  of  a 
new  and  unknown  writer. 

'They  contained,  as  the  author  remarked  40  years  later,  the  germs  of  most  of  the  ideas  afterwards  expanded  by  liim 
into  discoveries.  A  prominent  section  comprised  the  result  of  six  years'  auroral  observations.  He  had  detected  independ 
ently  the  magnetic  relations  of  the  phenomenon,  and  concluded  thence  auroral  light  to  be  of  purely  electric  ori,'in,  and 
auroral  arch'is  and  streamers  to  be  composed  of  an  elastic  fluid  of  a  fi-rruginous  nature  existing  above  our  atmosphere. 
This  hyi)Othesis  was  further  developed  by  Biot  in  1S20.  From  simultaneous  observations  at  Kendal  and  Keswick  Dalton 
derived  from  the  aurora  of  \i>  Feb.  1703  a  height  of  150  miles.  .  .  The  essay  in  the  same  volume  was  remarkable  for  the 
then  novel  assertion  that  aqueuus  vapour  exists  in  the  air  as  an  independent  elastic  fiuid,  not  chemically  combined,  but 
mechanically  mixed  with  the  other  atmospheric  gases.' — Mii^s  Aotifs  M.  Ch'rke,

the  properties  of  a  curve  can  be  deduced  from  those  of  its  tangent  ('  the  inverse  method  of  tangents  '). 

'  Early  in  1658  a  similar  discovery  [on  the  rectification  of  algebraic  curves],  independent  of  that  of  Neil,  was  made  by.

'  It  was  Descartes  who  first  recognised  the  true  meaning  of  the  negative  roots  of  equations  ;  and  we  owe  to  him  the 
theorem,  which  is  ciilled  by  his  name,  that  an  equation  may  have  as  many  positive  roots  as  there  are  chan2;es  of  sign  in 
passing  froju  term  to  term,  and  as  many  negative  roots  as  there  are  continuations  of  sign,  and  not  more  of  either  kind. 
He  gave  a  new  and  ingeTiious  solution  of  equations  of  the  fourth  degree  ;  and  first  introducefl  exponents,  and  thereby  laid 
the  foundation  for  calculating  with  powers.  He  showed  moreover  how  to  draw  tangents  and  nonru'ls  at  every  point  of  a 
geometrical  curve  .  .  .  and  what  perhaps  is  his  highest  merit,  ho  showed  how  to  express  the  nature  and  the  properties  of 
every  curve,  by  an  equation  between  two  variable  co-ordinates;  thus,  in  fact,  originating  Analytical  Geometry,  which  has 
led  to  the  brightest  discoveries.' — Prof.  Aiulrew  Seth  VrinqU  Pattison.

be  brought  into  contact  with  the  powder,  which  was  merely  powdered  vitriol.  A  bandage  was  to  be  taken  from  the 
wound  immersed  in  the  powder,  and  kept  there  until  the  wound  healed.  He  says  that  he  learned  how  to  make  and  apply 
the  drug  from  a  Carmelite  who  had  travelled  in  the  Eist.  He  first  employed  it  about  lti24  to  cure  James  Howell  of

stration of  the  same ;  the  Cause  of  the  Ascent,  Station,  and  Descent  of  Vapours  and

Refraction  of  Light,  8vo.  (pp.  L  +  190),  sewn  {rare),  \5s  1771 

Nothing  seems  to  be  known  of  the  author  of  this  curious  work,  who  accuses  Dr.  Priestley  of  stealing  his  doctrine  of 
electricity,  and  complains  that  he  '  has  artfully  shut  me  out  of  his  history  of  electricity,  though  all  these  papers  were 
addressed  to  the  Royal  Society,  of  which  he  is  a  member'.  The  book  is  specially  interesting  as  probably  the  first  to 
connect  light  with  electricity,  and  thus  remotely  to  anticipate  Clerk-Maxwell's  electro-magnetic  theory  of  light.

The  versatile  author,  whose  habit  of  poUakigamy  according  to  Sir  Leslie  Stephen  resembled  John  Buncle's,  invented 
what  was  probably  the  first  telegraph,  in  order  to  announce  early  racing  results  between  Newmarket  and  London  for  his 
smart  friend  Sir  Francis  Delaval.  The  telegraph  was  doubtless  a  .semaphore  system,  and  was  afterwards  set  up  by  the 
Government,  under  his  superintendence,  between  Dublin  and  Galway.  The  fear  of  French  invasion  waning  it  was 
dropped.

The  oldest  and  best  English  electrical  journal,  indispensable  to  any  important  library,  as  it  contains  weighty 
contributions  by  the  foremost  scientists  of  the  time.  '  It  records  in  a  full  and  thorough  manner  all  the  great  discoveries 
and  experiments  in  electrical  science,  and  illustrates  how  these  could  be  commercially  applied  and  profitably  worked . 
In  the  volumes  of  The  Electrician  will  be  found  a  most  valuable  collection  of  original  papers  and  articles  by  nearly 
every  leading  electrical  writer  of  note,  and  all  papers  read  before  the  principal  Electrical  Institutions  throughout  the 
world  by  men  eminent  in  the  profession  have  been  given,  together  with  the  authenticated  reports  of  the  discussions 
thereupon.' 

Besides  the  above,  it  forms  a  complete  record  of  all  the  important  legal  investigations  which  have  so  profitably 
occupied  the  attention  of  the  Courts  for  the  past  20  years,  and  it  is  customary  for  The  Electrician  to  occupy  a 
prominent  position  in  them  as  an  authority  on  all  questions  afi"ecting  the  electrical  profession.  In  this  connexion  it 
is  only  necessary  to  point  to  the  actions  which  have  arisen  from  time  to  time  upon  the  Edison  and  Swan  Patent, 
the  Compound  Winding  Patent,  the  High  and  Low  Tension  Systems,  the  Accumulator  Patents,  the  Telephone  Patents, 
etc.,  etc.,  in  which  it  has  figured  as  a  trustworthy  authority,  and  has  been  put  in  evidence  and  accepted  by  the 
parties  concerned.

The  author  began  life  as  a  poor  boy,  and  walked  all  the  way  from  Durham  to  London.  '  He  refused  to  become  a  member 
of  the  Royal  Society  because,  as  he  said,  '  it  was  a  damned  hard  thing  that  a  man  should  burn  so  many  farthing  candles  as 
he  had  done,  and  then  have  to  pay  so  much  a  year  for  the  honour  of  F.R.S.  after  his  name '.' — D.  N.  B. 

•  From  his  strong  vigorous  mind  and  close  application  he  had  acquired  a  deep  knowledge  of  all  the  branches  of 
mathematics  and  physics,  on  every  part  of  which  he  wrote  good  treatises'.— Dr.  HuUon,  F.R.S.

A  highly  interesting  storehouse  (once  of  great  popularity,  and  now  rare  in  all  its  editions)  of  a  multitude  of  mathe- 
matical, astronomical,  and  physical  problems.  It  was  based  on  the  work  of  Bachet  de  Meziriac  (v.  Nos.  204  and  5901), 
ante),  and  included,  besides  numerous  original  problems  by  the  author,  some  taken  from  Cardan  ;  and  in  its  turn  formed 
the  foundation  of  the  works  of  Mydorgue,  Ozanam,  Montucla,  and  Button. 

Among  the  more  interesting  problems  are,  in  addition  to  the  one  mentioned  above  by  M.  Libri :  '  How  to  make  an 
instrument  that  helpes  to  heare  '  (the  speaking  tube,  the  invention  of  which  is  ascribed  to  Sir  Samuel  Morland  in  1671),

'  Premiere  Edition  de  cette  version,  et  un  des  plus  anciens  livres  imprimis  o\\  se  trouvent  des  fijjures  de  math6« 
matiques '.— £n/Ti€<.  In  his  dedication  the  printer  says  that  the  difficulty  of  printing  geometrical  designs  had  hitherto 
made  it  impossible  to  print  geometrical  books  ;  but  that  this  difficulty  had  been  overcome  so  well  by  great  painters,  that 
'qua  facilitate  litterarum  elementa  imprimuntur  ea  etiam  geometrice  figure  conficerentur'.  The  fine  woodcut  border 
surrounding  p.  3  is  a  well-known  example  in  the  history  of  book  ornamentation. 

The  translation  is  of  great  interest  as  having  been  made  by  an  Englishman,  ^Ethelhard  or  Adelard  of  Bath,  either 
from  the  Greek  original,  or,  more  probably,  from  au  Arabic  version,    ^thelhard  was  a  great  traveller  as  well  as  one  of  the 

greatest  philosophical  writers  of  the  Thirteenth  Century,  '  and  seems  to  have  passed  through  Spain,  the  North  of  Africa, 
reece,  and  Asia  Minor.  He  was  one  of  those  Englishmen  who  lived  for  a  time  in  the  Norman  Kingdom  of  Sicily,  and  is 
known  to  have  visited  Syracuse  and  Salerno.  That  he  knew  Greek  is  almost  certain  ;  but  it  has  not  been  determined 
whether  the  translation  of  Euclid  (undoubtedly  executed  by  him,  though  olten  ascribed  to  Campanus  of  Novara,  with 
whose  comments  it  was  published  at  Venice  in  1482  [supra])  was  made  from  an  Arabic  version  or  from  the  original ' 
{Professor  Adamson).  On  either  supposition  the  instance  of  English  mediaeval  scholarship  is  a  striking  one,  and  ^Ethelhard 
is  one  more  disproof  of  the  theory  of  the  blank  ignorance  and  obscurantism  of  the  Middle  Ages  with  which  the  youth  of 
England  is  still  regaled  by  the  timberheaded  textbook-writer  of  British  popular  Protestantism.

'This  is  perhaps  the  scarcest  of  all  the  editions  of  Euclid,  as  is  but  too  well  known  to  mathematicians,  who  covet  its 
possession.  The  version  attributed  to  Campanus,  but  now  known  to  have  been  made  by  Adelard  of  Bath,  appears  here 
to  great  advantage,  owing  to  the  important  emendations  and  explanations  of  the  celebrated  Luca  Pacioli  di  Buiigo,  the 
author  of  the  5winma  de  Arithmetica  [v.  Nos.  3429-32,  ante'].  Pacioli  was  the  intimate  friend  of  Leonardo  da  Vinci,  at 
whose  instigation  he  appears  to  have  published  this  work,  as  is  apparent  from  the  dedicatory  letter  of  the  editor  himself

companion  of  the  helhounds,  and  a  caller,  and  a  conjuror  of  wicked  and  damned  spirits  '.  This  preface  is  dated  on  9  Feb. 
1569/70,  from  his  house  on  the  bank  of  the  Thames  "at  Mortlake,  Surrey,  where  he  studied  diligently  for  many  years  and 
collected  a  noble  library  of  the  most  curious  books  in  all  sciences,  and  a  large  number  of  valuable  MSS.'— D.  N.  B. 

In  spite  of  his  protests  Dr.  Dee  (who  died  Warden  of  Manchester  Collegiate  Church ,  now  the  Cathedral)  was  notorious  as  a 
consulting  sorcerer  in  large  practice  all  his  life.  But  in  connexion  with  the  above  book  it  well  deserves  to  be  noted  that 
in  1550,  at  the  College  of  Rheims  at  Paris,  he  lectured  publicly  on  Euclid's  Elements,  mathematice,  physice,  et 
^        Pythagorice,  which  had  never  before  been  done  in  any  University  in  Christendom.

John  Hewlett,  b.d.,  with  Memoir  by  Horner,  thick  8vo.  boards,  uncut,  5s  1828 

The  translation  was  the  first  work  of  that  remarkable  man  Francis  Horner,  who  matriculated  at  Edinburgh  University 
at  the  age  of  fourteen ;  the  first  edition  was  published  in  1797,  in  his  nineteenth  year.  Two  of  his  nieces,  Mrs.  Lyell  and 
Miss  Joanna  Horner,  are  still  alive  (April,  1912)— a  striking  link  with  the  Eighteenth  Century. 

7683  Fifth  Edition,  thick  8vo.  cl.,  6s  1840 

'  The  first  volume  treats  of  determinate  algebra.  This  contains  one  of  the  earliest  attempts  to  place  the  fundamental 
processes  on  a  scientific  basis.  This  work  also  includes  the  proof  of  the  binomial  theorem  for  an  unrestricted  index  .  .  , 
The  second  volume  treats  of  indeterminate  or  Diophantine  algebra.  This  contains  the  solution  of  some  of  the  problems 
proposed  by  Fermat,  which  had  hitherto  remained  unsolved.' — W.  W.  R.  Ball.

'  Flamsteed's  Historia  Ccelestis,  published  in  1725,  formed  a  new  era  in  sidereal  astronomy.  The  first  volume  comprised

observations  with  the  mural  arc,  1689-1720.  The  third  opened  with  a  disquisition  entitled  '  Prolegomena  to  the  Catalogue  ', 
on  the  progress  of  astronomy  from  the  earliest  ages,  chiefly  valuable  for  the  description,  with  which  it  terminated,  of  the 
Greenwich  instruments  and  methods  ;  the  catalogues  of  Ptolemy,  Ulugh  Beigh,  Tycho  Brahe,  the  Landgrave  of  Hesse, 
and  Hevelius  followed  ;  finally  came  the  '  British  Catalogue  '  of  2,933  stars  observed  at  Greenwich,  to  which  Halley's 
southern  stars  were  appended  .  .  .  His  '  British  Catalogue '  is  styled  by  Baily  '  one  of  the  proudest  productions  of  the

'The  chief  source  of  information  regarding  Flamsteed.  The  materials  for  this  valuable  work  were  derived  largely  from 
a  mass  of  Flamsteed's  MS.  books  and  papers,  purchased  by  the  Board  of  Longitude  for  £100,  in  1 771,  which  lay  in  disorder 
at  the  Royal  Observatory  until  Baily  explored  them  .  .  .  The  first  part  contains  Flamsteed's  History  of  his  own  Life  and 
Labours,  compiled  from  original  MSS.  in  his  own  handwriting  ...  An  appendix  contains  a  variety  of  illustrative  docu- 
ments, besides  Flamsteed's  voluminous  correspondence  with  Sharp,  Newton,  Wren,  Halley,  Wallis,  Arbuthnot,  Sir  Jonas 
Moore,  and  others.  The  second  part  comprises  the  British  Catalogue,  corrected  and  enlarged  to  include  3,130  stars  by 
Baily.  An  elaborate  introduction  is  prefixed,  and  a  supplement,  added  in  1837,  gives  Baily's  replies  to  criticisms  of  the 
foregoing  publication.'— Miss  Agnes  M.  Clerke.

The  work  is  important  as  containing  the  author's  discovery  of  spots  on  Mars,  which  later  astronomers  with  more 
powerful  instruments  identified  as  'canals',  the  origin  and  object  of  which  is  still  exciting  the  curiosity  of  the  scientific 
world.  He  also  recorded  changes  in  their  position  after  a  subsequent  observation,  from  which  he  inferred  that  the  planet 
rotated  round  its  axis. 

In  the  final  chapter  de  Microscopio,  he  not  only  claims  the  invention  of  the  microscope  in  1618  (actually  made  by 
Zacbarias  Janssen  in  1590),  but  also  the  construction  of  a  telescope  in  Italy  in  1608,  or  one  year  before  Galileo.

The  first  part  consists  of  four  letters,  the  last  on  '  Observations  and  Suppositions  towards  forming  a  new  Hypothesis, 
for  explaining  the  several  Pha^nomena  of  Thunder  Gusts',  with  Additional  Papers  by  Peter  Collinson. 

The  second  and  third  part  contain  thirteen  additional  letters,  also  '  Remarks  on  the  Abb6  NoUet's  Letters  on 
Electricity  to  Benj.  Franklin,  by  David  Coldkn,  of  New-York,'  and  '  Electrical  Experiments,  with  an  attempt  to  account 
for  their  several  Phsenomena ;  with  some  Observations  on  Thunder-Clouds,  by  John  Canton,  f.r.s.'  the  last  passage 
reading  :  '  Is  not  the  aurora  boreoUs  the  flashing  of  electrical  fire  from  positive  towards  negative  clouds  at  a  great  distance, 
through  the  upper  part  of  the  atmosphere,  where  the  resistance  is  least?' 

The  work  started  a  new  era  in  electrical  science,  and  contains  a  number  of  valuable  experiments  and  suggestions,  e.g.. 
his  'one-fluid  theory  '  of  electricity  and  the  '  Franklin  Plate,'  explaining  the  theory  of  the  Leyden  Jar,  the  discovei'y  of 
the  electric  action  of  points,  which  resulted  in  his  invention  of  the  lightning  rod,  etc.  etc.  etc. 

'They  were  not  originally  designed  for  publication,  but  Collinson  thought  them  too  important  to  be  withheld.  The 
public  interest  in  these  experiments  justified  CoUinson's  anticipations.  '  Nothing,'  says  Priestley,  '  ever  written  on  the 
subject  was  mere  justly  applauded.    All  the  world,  even  kings,  flocked  to  see  them,  and  retired  full  of  admiration  '.*

'  Freke  supposed  that  the  cause  of  the  closing  of  the  leaves  of  the  sensitive  plant  when  touched  was  that  it  discharged 
electricity,  and  he  devised  an  experiment  to  illustrate  this,  in  which  a  small  tree  was  placed  in  a  pot  on  a  cake  of  resin 
and  then  electrified.  He  found  that  the  leaves  stood  erect,  falling  down  as  soon  as  the  electricity  was  discharged  by 
touching  the  plant.  He  further  conjectured  that  pollen  was  attracted  from  the  stamen  of  one  plant  to  the  stigma  of 
another  by  electricity.'—!).  N.  B.

Following  in  the  steps  of  Thomas  Young  (Nos.  5570-77  ante),  Fresnel  for  the  tirst  time  established  the  undulatory 
theory  of  light  on  a  Arm  basis,  and  his  investigations  in  this  connexion  on  the  interference,  polarisation,  diffraction 
aberration,  and  double  refraction  of  light  are  of  the  first  importance.  He  also  invented  the  compouTid  lighthouse  lenses 
known  by  his  name. 

'  His  transcendent  mathematical  abilities  enabled  him  to  give  the  [undulatory]  theDry  a  generality  unattained  by 
Young.  He  grasped  the  theory  in  its  entirety ;  followed  the  ether  into  the  hearts  of  crystals  of  the  most  complicated 
structure,  and  into  bodies  subjected  to  strain  and  pressure.  He  showed  that  the  facts  discovered  by  Mains,  Arago, 
Brewster,  and  Biot  were  so  many  ganglia,  so  to  speak,  of  its  theoretic  organism,  deriving  from  it  sustenance  and  explana-

were  ever  available  for  aaU,  except  on  those  rare  oooasUms  when  a  presentee  decided  to  sell  his  own.  The  above  is  mxrreover  one  of 
the  few  sets  on  '  carta  distinta ',  and  thus  presents  perhaps  a  unique  opportunity  to  acquire  this  truly  grand  work. 

It  contains  all  the  author's  scientific  and  literary  works  and  his  voluminous  and  vjiluable  correspondence  far  more 
extensively  than  in  anv  previous  edition.  Each  volume  has  a  copious  index,  while  vol.  XX  consists  of  '  Indice  dei

First  Edition  of  this  epoch-making  work,  a  masterly  defence  of  the  Copernican  system,  but  which  led  to  its  author's 
imprisonment,  and— as  has  been  stated— his  being  put  to  the  torture. 

The  work  having  been  rigidly  suppressed,  not  only  for  its  '  heretical '  views,  but  also  for  having  offended  Pope 
Urban  VIlI.'s  vanity,  who  believed  himself  satirised  as  the  dull  interpreter  of  the  Aristotelian  system,  the  first  edition  has 
become  excessively  rare.

First  Edition  of  one  of  the  author's  most  important  works,  which  did  as  much  to  lay  the  foundation  of  dynamics  as 
Stevinus's  Beghinselen  did  that  of  statics  (v.  no.  4585,  ante),  and  containing  the  first  law  of  motion,  his  laws  of  falling 
bodies  (the  result  of  experiments  made  from  the  Leaning  Tower  of  Pisa  between  1602  and  1604),  demonstrating  the 
parabolic  curves  of  projectiles  (hitherto  believed  to  move  in  a  straight  line  and  suddenly  fall  vertically  to  the  ground),  the

Containing  Galileo's  discovery  of  sunspots— the  priority  of  which  is,  however,  claimed  for  Jan  Fabricius— but  more 
important  still  for  the  discovery,  based  on  his  observations,  that  the  sun  turns  round  its  axis.  For  the  first  time  he 
avowed  himself  in  the  work  a  follower  of  Copernicus,  which  brought  him  under  the  suspicion  of  the  Roman  Curia,  and 
ended  with  his  imprisonment  after  the  publication  of  the  Dialogo.

only  the  first  edition  is  mentioned.  It  differs  considerably  from  the  latter  by  having  an  appendix  of  56 11.,  with  additional 
engravings,  entitled  :  ♦  De  Maculis  Solaribus  III  Epistolse.  De  iisdem  et  Stellis  circa  Jovem  errantibus,  Disquisitio  ad

It  contains  the  first-fruits  of  Galileo's  astronomical  investigations  with  his  newly  invented  telescope,  which  enabledt 
him  to  discover  mountains  and  valleys  on  the  surface  of  the  moon  (hitherto  considered  to  be  smooth),  also  that  the  mooa 
was  not  self-luminous,  but  only  reflected  the  light  received  by  the  sun. 

The  most  important  discovery  it  contains  however  is  that  of  the  four  satellites  of  Jupiter,  called  by  him  Medicean. 
Stars,  in  honour  of  the  family  of  his  protector.    Their  different  position  at  different  times  induced  him  finally  to  accept 
the  Copemican  theory.    He  also  found  that  the  Milky  Way  is  composed  of  countless  separate  stars,  etc.  etc.  etc.

unpublished  discoveries  of  Galileo,  seem  undoubtedly  to  have  been  written  by  Mersenne.  The  work  is  very  interesting,

•  This  is  an  exceedingly  curious  manuscript,  from  Sir  Thomas  Phillipps's  great  collection,  evidently  prepared  for 
publication,  with  a  dedication  signed  '  Roche  Agudi,'  dated  Veuetia  U  X  Gen.  1620.  Girolamo  Magagnati,  the  author  of 
the  poetical  play  La  Clomlra,  and  of  several  very  rare  Capitoli  burleschi,  was  one  of  the  most  curious  characters  of  the 
Seventeenth  Century.  By  profession  he  was  a  provision  merchant,  who,  whilst  sending  his  wines  etc.  to  the  Grand  Duke 
of  Tuscany,  or  the  Queen  of  France,  or  other  Princes,  accompanied  them,  every  now  and  then,  with  his  poetical  works. 
Several  of  the  letters  contained  in  this  manuscript  are  addressed  to  Galileo,  and  some  of  them  are  said  to  be  unpublished.

•  Davy's  discoveries  of  potassium  and  sodium,  by  the  decomposing  action  of  the  voltaic  pile,  stimulated  Gay-Lussac  and 
Thenard  to  pursue  this  class  of  researches.  The  results  appeared  in  their  Recherches  physico-chimiques.  Among  the  most 
important  of  the  discoveries  announced  there  were  a  purely  chemical  process  of  obtaining  potassium  directly,  the 
separation  of  boron  from  boracic  acid,  and  new  and  improved  methods  of  analysing  compounds.'

8339  GELLIBBAND  (Henry  ;  Gresham  Prof.  Astronomi/,  Oxon.)  A  DISCOURSE  Mathematicall

The  only  e<iition  published  of  this  rare  and  important  little  work,  which  contains  the  discovery  of  the  secular  variation 
of  the  magnetic  declination— a  fact  unknown  to  the  author's  biographer  in  D.  N.  E.,  who  unjustly  describes  him  as  'a 
plodding  industrious  mathematician  without  a  spark  of  genius,'  instead  of  a  continuer  of  our  national  pioneer  work  in 
magnetism  and  electricity.

£10.  105 

First  Edition  of  this  monumental  work,  which  gives  England  the  glory  of  being  the  absolute  birthplace  of  electrical 
science,  and  is  '  one  of  the  finest  examples  of  inductive  philosophy  that  has  ever  been  presented  to  the  world'  {Lord 
Kelvin].  It  was  the  first  great  work  on  natural  science  ever  published  in  England,  and  here  and  abroad  at  once  exerted  an 
enormous  influence  on  the  development  of  the  newly-created  science.  It  was  so  celebrated  a  hundred  years  after  as  to 
call  forth  Dryden's  well-known  lines  '  Gilbert  shall  live  till  loadstones  cease  to  draw, 

Or  British  fleets  the  boundless  ocean  awe '. 

The  first  edition  is  of  well-known  rarity.  Professor  Silvanus  Thompson,  f.r.s.,  writing  on  the  work  in  the  '  Electrician  ' 
of  March  24,  1905,  says,  '  This  book  is  much  rarer  than  the  first  folio  Shakespeare,  for  while  of  that  work  no  fewer  than  156 
copies  are  known  to  exist,  there  are  only  68  copies  of  the  first  folio  Gilbert  known,  and  only  two  have  been  sold  in  the  book-auctions 
during  the  last  twenty  years.'

London,  or,  New  York,  1893 
The  first  English  Translation.    It  contains  fs.  reproductions  of  the  woodcuts  in  the  first  edition,  and  fs.  title-pages 
of  the  first  three  editions,  and  Gilbert's  '  De  Mundo  Nostro  Sublunari  Philosophia  Nova'  (1651). 

8402 On  the  Magnet,  Magnetick  Bodies  also,  and  on  the  Great  Magnet  the  Earth  ;  a 

new  Physiology,  demonstrated  by  many  arguments  and  experiments  [translated  from  the  First 
Edition,  by  SiLVANUs  P.  Thompson,  Sir  Joseph  Larmor,  Raphael  Meldola,  Latimer  Clark, 
Sir  Benjamin  Ward  Richardson,  ff.r.s.,  and  others,  with  Index],  with  all  the  nwnerous  wood- 
cuts in  exact  fs.  from  those  of  the  frst  Edition :  Notes  on  the  De  Magnete  of  Dr.  William  Gil- 
bert [edited  by  Silvanus  P.  Thompson,  f.r.s.]  ,  with  engravings— 2  vols.  sm.  folio  in  1,  fnely 
printed  on  handmade  paper  at  the  Chiswick  Press ;  limp  white  vellum,  with  silken  tiers  (scarce), 
£4.  4s  Gilbert  Club,  1900-1 

'  This  version  has  been  prepared  from  the  famous  and  rare  original  folio  Latin  edition  of  1600,  and  is,  as  far  as  circum- 
stances would  permit,  a  facsimile  (in  English)  of  that  edition.  The  translation  is  a  page  for  page  version  ;  all  the  cuts  and 
the  finest  of  the  ornamental  initials  having  been  reproduced  in  fs.  A  short  index  has  been  added  to  the  text  .  .  .  The 
edition  is  limited  to  250  copies.' 

The  greatest  achievement  of  the  De  Magnete  was  the  establishment  of  the  magnetic  nature  of  the  earth,  wliich  Gilbert 
proved  analogically  by  his  terrella,  a  large  loadstone  cut  into  the  shape  of  a  sphere. 

In  electrical  nomenclature  he  created  the  terms  electrica  and  non-electrica  in  discovering  the  fact  that  many  other 
substances  besides  amber  and  jet  (then  alone  supposed  to  possess  it)  have  an  electric  action.  From  the  word  electrica 
Robert  Boyle  afterwards  derived  the  term  electricity  as  used  at  the  present  time. 

One  of  Gilbert's  most  noteworthy  discoveries,  among  the  many  contained  in  his  book,  is  that  of  the  earliest  electro- 
scope ever  devised — the  needle  one. 

'  His  work  contains  all  the  fundamental  facts  of  the  science,  so  fully  examined  indeed,  that  even  at  this  day  we  have 
very  little  to  add  to  them.'— Dr.  Whewell. 

Prof.  Silvanus  Thompson's  '  Notes '  are  not  only  an  indispensable  commentary,  but  a  valuable  contribution  to  the 
early  history  of  magnetism  and  electricity. 

With  Gilbert,  Newton,  and  Darwin  England  may  be  said  to  have  opened  the  windows  on  the  constitution  of  the 
physical  universe.
