This is NOT a retyped or an ocr'd reprint. Illustrations, Index, if any, are included in black and white. Each page is checked manually before printing. As this print on demand book is reprinted from a very old book, there could be some missing or flawed pages, but we always try to make the book as complete as possible. Fold-outs, if any, are not part of the book. If the original book was published in multiple volumes then this reprint is of only one volume, not the whole set. Sewing binding for longer life, where the book block is actually sewn (smythe sewn/section sewn) with thread before binding which results in a more durable type of binding. Pages: 612 Volume 1 Language: German.

*** Premier volume de cet ouvrage périodique "fournissant de petits mémoires nouveaux d'astronomie, des tables subsidiaires, des observations, &c. présentant le tableau de tout ce qui paraît de nouveau en astronomie." Deux autres volumes seront publiés par la suite (1772 et 1776). Johan (ou Jean) (III) Bernoulli (Bâle,1744-1807) était le fils du mathématicien Jean (II) Bernoulli. Il a été un pionnier de la presse scientifique en particulier astronomique. "La curiosité universelle [de J. Bernoulli] et son prosélytisme scientifique incontestable font de ses écrits - périodiques ou autres - une mine de renseignements variés." (Sgard, Dict. des journalistes). Papier bruni, auréoles sur les premiers feuillets. Exemplaire dans son cartonnage de l'époque. *** In-8 de X, (2), 284 pp., 1 planche et 5 tableaux h.-t. dépliants.

Two further volumes were subsequently published (1772 and 1776). Johan (or Jean) (III) Bernoulli (Basel, 1744-1807) was the son of the mathematician Jean (II) Bernoulli. He was a pioneer of the scientific press, particularly astronomical. "J. Bernoulli's] universal curiosity and unquestionable scientific proselytism make his writings - periodical or otherwise - a mine of varied information." (Sgard, Dict. des journalistes).

Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1735. 4to. Fine recent marbled boards. Printed titlelabel on frontcover. (6),144 pp. and 1 double-page folded engraved plate. Johann B's paper: pp. (1-) 91. - Daniel B's papers: pp. (93-) 122 and pp. 123-144. A few marginal brownspots. First edition of these prize winning papers by father (Jean) and son (Daniel). - Both papers deals with the cause of the inclination of the planetary orbits relative to the solar equator. - In Daniel's paper he put foreward the hypothesis of the existence of an atmosphere, resempling air, and rotating around the solar axis, resulting in an increasing inclination of the planetary orbits toward the equator of the sun. Daniel was the first importent Newtonian outside Great Britain. The problems faced here (by Daniel) are treated in Newtonian manner.The publication of these papers by father and son resulted in a controversy between the two, forcing Daniel to leave his fathers house. - Poggendorff I:161.

Bound in contemporary 1/4 calf over paste-boards. Restored binding. 91 engraved folding plates. Lacking half-titles and 2 portraits (commonly absent). [4], xxiv, 563, [1]; [2], 620; [2], 563, [1]; [3]-588 pages. Titles in red and black, with engraved vignettes. Scattered foxing, staining. Generally clean internally. "Bernoulli published only one book, Theorie de la manoeuvre des vaisseaux (1714) and apart from this, his dissertation De motu musculorum (1694) and one or two minor pieces, all his work was contributed to journals (189 papers are collected here) or were first published in these volumes, i.e. 59 of his lectures and the Hydraulica in volume IV [appearing here for the first time in print], which was written in competition with his son Daniel." - Roger Gaskell. Bernoulli's "chief discoveries are [in] exponential calculus, the treatment of trigonometry as a branch of analysis, the conditions for a geodesic, the determination of orthogonal trajectories, the solution of the brachistochrone, the statement that a ray of light traversed such a path that Smds [Greek] is a minimum, and the enunciation of the principle of virtual work . The general adoption on the continent of the differential rather than the fluxional notation was largely due to his influence." Ball, A Short Account of the History of Mathematics, p. 368. The first volume is primarily devoted to geometry and calculus, muscular mechanics, resistance of solids, and the geometric motion of pendulums and projectiles. The second and third volumes deal with mechanics, maneuvering vessels and the analysis of trajectories. The forth volume deals contains the first printing of his Hydraulica, co-written by his son.

The first volume is primarily devoted to problems in geometry and the early calculus, but also contains papers on muscular mechanics, the resistance of solids and a geometrical demonstration of the motion of pendulums and projectiles in resisting and unresisting media. Volumes 2 and 3 are almost totally devoted to problems of mechanics, the first of these containing his theoretical essay on the maneuvering of vessels and related papers, as well as numerous contributions on the analysis of trajectories. His discourse on the laws governing the communication of movement opens volume 3, which also contains his essay on celestial mechanics. The last volume contains contributions on the curvature of elastic plates, his mechanico-dynamical propositions and problems in dynamics. Most important its appearance in this volume represents the first printing of the hydraulica which was written in competition with his son, Daniel". (Bibliotheca Mechanica pp. 36/37) ---- NORMAN N° 217 : "The younger brother of Jakob I Bernoulli, Johann I collaborated with his brother and with Leibnitz to produce almost all of the present elementary differential and integral calculus, along with the beginnings of ordinary differential equations and the calculus of variations. The integral calculus was published in Johann I's Opera omnia, which contains all of his mathematical papers" ---- DSB II p. 51/55 - Honeyman N° 293**478/i1.
