First edition.
Pierre Polinière is considered the founder of experimental physics in France. After studying mathematics with Pierre Varignon (1654 – 1722), Polinière opened a physics course at the college of Harcourt, it was one of the first public courses given in Paris. His public demonstration sessions were very successful and did much to disseminate the scientific method of experimental research. His experiments were very popular and, among the spectators, we found all of Paris, and even the young Louis XV in 1722.
In 1706 during an experiment before the Academy of Sciences, Polinière discovered electroluminescence. This discovery is contemporary but independent of that of Hauksbee in London.
The protocol of the experiment is described here in the chapter “Phosphorus through Movement”.

Siméon Denis Poisson (1781-1840), French physicist and mathematician, it is in this Treatise on Mechanics that he introduces the coefficient which bears his name and which is one of the fundamental elements of the theory of elasticity. He demonstrated using molecular theory that this coefficient should have a value equal to 0.25. Value confirmed by measurements since most metals have a Poisson's ratio close to 0.3.

Mémoire sur la Théorie des Nombres, Présenté a l'Académie des Sciences, le 31 Mai 1830, par M. Augustin Cauchy.
First edition of this important memoir (pp/ 249 to 768 of this volume of memoirs of the academy of sciences).

The writing of this memoir is quite abrupt, with a succession of formulas difficult to relate to each other, and it will be criticized by Biot in particular.
However, Jenny Boucard, after an in-depth study of Cauchy's work, concluded that Cauchy exposes a coherent method around the quadratic forms 4p^μ=x²+ny² which he applies in different cases, depending on whether n is prime or compound. (Boucard, p.365).

Book promoting the use of the metric system in Switzerland. If Switzerland received in 1801 a copy of the standard meter deposited in Paris, the metric system took several decades to be adopted in all the cantons of the confederation.

"Besides the description that my book gives of the new and old measures of Paris, it can also be considered as a complete treatise of three kinds of measures; namely, those of Neuchâtel, Bern and Lausanne: these neighboring countries will doubtless also adopt under little this system, which has simplicity as its basis" (excerpt from the preface)

Unusual work in which Paucton seeks to improve and diversify the applications of the Archimedes screw. Among his innovative ideas we note the possibility of using the Archimedes screw as a means of propulsion for boats and as a propeller for windmills. By putting this propeller which he calls pterophore horizontally, he re-elaborates with genius Leonardo da Vinci's flying propeller, and even calculates the surface of canvas that it would take for a man to be able to rise in the air in this way.

First edition.
Very rare copy with title page in unlisted condition in the name of Jacques Le Gras.

Descartes wrote this treatise in 1632 and 1633. He defended in particular the heliocentric system of Copernicus, but following Galileo's condemnation, he gave up publishing this work during his lifetime. It will not be finally published, according to his will, until after his death. At the end of 1663, the Le Gras and Clerselier family will dispute the privilege of publishing the posthumous works of Descartes. For the "World" it is Jacques Le Gras who will be the first to deposit the privilege. (cf. CARTESIAN BULLETIN V. (1976). Archives de Philosophie, 39 (3), 445–494) Jacques Le Gras, the holder of the privilege, then shared it with Thomas Girard (his brother-in-law) and Michel Bobin.

Our title page is unknown to Tchermerzine and Guibert as well as to Mathias Van Otegem who in his bibliography of the works of Descartes published in 2002, after consulting the copies in public libraries, describes only four states of the title page of this edition.
Our copy therefore presents a fifth state of the still unpublished title page.
Our title page has the same typographical mark as the Thomas Girad state (6 fleurons) canonically considered to adorn the true first edition. In addition, like the copy "Thomas Girad" from the Munich library (BSB: Rar. 4594) our title page is margined shorter than the rest of the book body and printed with the same characters, which suggests an impression at the same time.
The copies having a recomposed title page with a typographical mark "à l'oiseau" only coming, according to bibliographers, in a second step.

"In Le Monde, Descartes wants to ruin the concepts of scholasticism, and 'evacuate' Aristotle's physics, by giving a physical interpretation of the new heliocentric astronomy. As opposed to traditional finalism, he envisions, in the form of a "Fable", the mechanical formation of the cosmos, from an initial state of chaos (pieces of matter of various shapes and sizes agitated by all-out movements) and only by virtue of the general laws of nature: principle of inertia, laws of the communication of movement, etc ...

Second edition.
This second edition brings together the Theory of the Moon and the Tables of the Moon published by Clairaut in 1752 and 1754 which are the first approximate resolution of the three-body problem. Between 1747 and 1754, three of the greatest mathematicians of their time, Euler, D'Alembert and Clairaut, opposed each other on a common project: to develop new mathematical methods in order to resolve the complex problems posed by the movement of the Moon, subject to both to the gravitational pull of the Earth and the Sun. The issue was both scientific and economic since the establishment of precise astronomical tables was necessary for the reliability of navigation at sea.
