Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 243 pages, [A8-Q8, R7]. 20 X 13 cm. Preface (12), Index (6), and four pages of publisher adverts. Five copper engraved fold-out plates, plate four in photocopy. Errata list. Cotes, an English mathematician who edited the second edition of Newton's PRINCIPIA, made advances in the theory of logarithms, the integral calculus and in numerical methods, particularly interpolation. His quadrature formulas known as Newton-Cotes formulas and first introduced what is known today as Euler's formula. He was the first Plumian Professor and Cambridge University from 1707 until his death at the age of thirty-three. This work was held in great estimation. Cotes genius earned encomiums from his contemporaries and successors; Sir Isaac Newton said, "If Mr. Cotes had lived, we should have known something." Two inked signatures at title page; two ownership stamps, text and plates clean, slight loss back cover upper corner. Contemporary full brown calf, double gilt border panels, rebacked, red leather spine label printed in gilt. Very good.

100-leaf manuscript, rectos and most versos filled, wax seal remnants to front pastedown, leaves wavy at the edges, some spotting and marks to contents; contemporary calf-backed blue paper boards, gilt floral tools to spine compartments, binding marked and worn with spine cords partially exposed and loss of the blue paper, morocco label lacking, naphthalene smell, good condition, housed in a black cloth folding case. An unusual late 18th century manuscript on classical physics that cites Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, William Harvey, Henry Power, and others. The text, approximately 200 pages, presents an ordered and detailed account of a number of related topics: optics; hydrostatics and pneumatics; mechanics including simple machines such as the lever and screw, the behaviour of descending bodies, and pendulums; phosphorus and its chemical transformations; and fortifications and architecture. The notes are dense but generally neat and legible with carefully prepared diagrams, so this seems to be a fair copy rather than a working notebook. Newton is cited in the section on light and colour: 'What Sir I.N. has said by way of [?] in the last edit of his Opticks will appear to be an established truth from most if not all the following examples, some of which he mentions himself". And Harvey in a short section on chemical transformations: "Harvey had (says he) the opportunity as well as the curiosity upon several occasions to examine the weight of [?] when some of them taken up in places very distant from one another.'. The origin of much of the material is unclear, though the long section on hydrostaticks was taken from Hydrostatical and Pneumatical Lectures by Roger Cotes (1682-1716), originally published privately in 1738 and with a second edition at Cambridge in 1747. Cotes was 'probably the most talented British mathematician of the generation after Newton'. He was nominated as the first Plumian professor of astronomy at Cambridge in 1706 and 'his appointment was favoured by his influential mentor Richard Bentley, master of Trinity; by Newton's successor as Lucasian professor, William Whiston, who claimed to be in mathematics "a child to Mr Cotes" (Whiston, 133); and by Newton himself. In 1709 Cotes became heavily involved in the work for which he is best remembered, namely the revisions for the second edition of Newton's Philosophia naturalis principia mathematica, the first being out of print' (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography). Cotes died young, and Newton was reported to have said that, 'if he had lived we might have known something'. A number of Cotes's lectures and mathematical analyses were published posthumously by his executor Robert Smith, the Hydrostatical and Pneumatical Lectures being one of them. It is tempting to question whether other portions of the present manuscript are also based on Cotes's work, and further academic scrutiny might be fruitful.

Couverture rigide. Zustand: Très bon. Plein veau de l'époque, triple filet doré encadrant les plats, dos lisse orné et doré portant la pièce de titre. Un volume in-8 (197x124 mm), xvi-458-(14) pages et 6 planches dépliantes hors texte. Reliure légèrement frottée et une coiffe abîmée. Texte très frais. Première édition en français. Roger Cotes (1682-1716) est mathématicien anglais, proche d'Isaac Newton avec qui il partage la découverte de la méthode de Newton-Cotes en analyse numérique, qui étend de manière générale la méthode des trapèzes et la méthode de Simpson pour le calcul des intégrales. (Formules de Newton-Cotes) Cet ouvrage de Cotes fut publié pour la première fois de façon posthume en 1738 sous le titre "Hydrostatical and Pneumatical Lectures", et il contient notamment la première traduction en français de la "Construction d'une échelle qui exprime les différents degrés de chaleur" de Newton.

Binding rubbed and one cap chipped. very fresh copy. First edition in French. Roger Cotes (1682-1716) was an English mathematician, closed to Isaac Newton with whom he shared the discovery of the Newton-Cotes method of numerical analysis, which generally extended the trapezoidal method and Simpson's method for calculating integrals. This book was first published posthumously in 1738 under the title "Hydrostatical and Pneumatic Lectures", and it contains the first French translation of Newton's scale of degrees of heat, his law of cooling.

Robert Smith (1689-1768), Cotes' cousin, assistant and successor at Trinity College, Cambridge edited Cotes' mathematical papers on his death. The D.S.B. comments: "then in great confusion, (they) were edited by Robert Smith and published as a book, 'Harmonia mensurarum' (1722). This work, which includes the 'Logometria' as its first part (Cotes' only life-time publication in 1714), gives an indication of Cotes's great ability. His style is somewhat obscure, with geometrical arguments preferred to analytical ones, and many results are quoted without explanation. What cannot be obscured is the original, systematic genius of the writer. This is shown most powerfully in his work on integration, in which long sequences of complicated functions are systematically integrated, and the results are applied to the solution of a great variety of problems." "Professor Morgan calls it 'the earliest work in which decided progress was made in the application of logarithms and of the properties of the circle to the calculus of fluents'. It is also the first complete treatise on the integral calculus" (Babson/Newton, First Suppl., p. 29). S.M. Stigler, 'Hist. statistics', 1986, p. 16. Tomash Lib. C184.

Boards with a few scratches, missing small parts of the leather. corners bumped. Upper endbands showing. Upper outer corner with dampstain, primarily affecting first leaves, otherwise a good copy. Printed on good paper. (20), 249, (3), 125, (1) pp. + 1 folded plate. First edition of Cotes? important posthumously published work. Roger Cotes (1682-1716) published only one scientific paper in his lifetime, and the present work thus constitutes the earliest and main record of his mathematical achievements. According to Augustus de Morgan, this is 'the earliest work in which decisiveness progress was made in the application of logarithms and of the properties of the circle of the calculus of fluents'" it includes the first version of the Newton-Cotes formulas, the first introduction of Euler's formula, and the 'Cotes' theorum' of trigonometry. Furthermore, it contains the ?Earliest attempt to frame a theory of errors.? (Jungnickel, Cavendish: The Experimental Life, p. 150). Roger Cotes (1682?1716), much respected in his own right, is also known for working closely with Isaac Newton by proofreading the second edition of his famous book, the Principia, before publication. He became the first Plumian Professor at Cambridge University from 1707 until his death. When Cotes died Cambridge in 1716 at the early age of 33 Isaac Newton famously remarked, "If he had lived we would have known something."
