Description: Paris: Imprime par autorisation du Roi a l'Imprimerie Royale [by Gauthier-Villars], 1832. 1832. 1ST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT WORK BY GASPARD-GUSTAVE DE CORIOLIS AFTER WHOM THE CORIOLIS EFFECT BECAME KNOWN - Quarto, 11 inches high by 8-3/4 inches wide. Softcovers, bound in printed light blue paper wraps, titled in black on the front cover and the spine, with a list of works printed by the firm of Gauthier-Villars on the rear cover. The covers are heavily chipped with a large piece out from the top corner of the rear cover. A diagonal tear across the rear cover has been repaired with archival document tape. viii & 625 deckle-edged pages, illustrated with 1 full-page and 9 folding plates bound in at the rear. The overlapping edges of the leaves are slightly chipped and creased, else an otherwise bright unopened and uncut volume. The ten works contained within this volume are as follows: 1. Woisard, Jean-Louis. "Recherches sur la determination des fonctions de deux variables dont les coefficiens differentiels du premier ordre sont donnes implicitement". This work consists of pages [1]-22. An obituary published in volume 3 of "The Foreign Review, and Continental Miscellany", published in London in 1829, summarized Woisard's life: "In the 30th year of his age died at Metz, his native place, Jean Louis Woisard, professor of mathematics at the Royal College, and member of several philosophical societies. He entered the polytechnic school in his seventeenth year, and added to the reputation of his tutor, Lesage, by his rapid progress in mathematics; but the academy, in 1816, forced him to return to his family without having enjoyed, as much as he could have desired, the lessons of Monge, Legrange, &c. Throughout the whole of his short life he had many obstacles to contend with; but, in his ambition to shine in geometrical science, he surmounted them all, and distinguished himself by various lectures on scientific subjects, some of which have been published. His death was occasioned by an inflammation, caused by a too close attention to some improvements which he designed to introduce in artillery waggons." 2. Ostrogradsky, Michel-Auguste. "Memoire sur la propagation des ondes dans un bassin cylindrique". This work consists of pages [23]-44. Born in a thatched hut on his father's land, Michel-Auguste Ostrogradsky (aka Mikhail Vasilevich Ostrogradski) (1801-1862) always carried a stone in his pocket to which was attached a string by which he could measure the depth of any well he came across. He studied physics and mathematics at the University of Kharkov. A student of Andrei Fedorovich Pavlosky and Timofei Fedorovic Osipovsky, Ostrogradski was denied his doctorate following Osipovsky's dismissal when Golitsyn imposed the teaching of religion on science. He went on to study in Paris under some of the leading mathematicians of the period. He published the above paper "Memoir on wave propagation in a cylindrical vessel" in 1826 and subsequently "Demonstration d'un theoreme du calcul integral" proving the general divergence theorem. However, Gauss, not knowing of Ostrogradski's paper, proved special cases of the divergence theorem and the theorem came to be named after Gauss instead. 3. Coraboeuf, Jean-Baptiste. "Memoire sur les operations geodesiques des Pyrenees et la comparaison du niveau des deux mers". This work consists of pages [45]-131 plus a folding map (chart) bound in at the end of the volume. The French geographer Jean-Baptiste Coraboeuf (1777-1859) participated in Napoleon's Egyptian campaign. He assisted with Nicolas-Antoine Nuet's calculations of the longitude of Alexandria and the latitude of Damietta, collaborating on the map of the Nile delta. His name, along with other members of the Science and Arts Commission, is engraved on the ruins of the temple of Philae. Coraboeuf was one of the surveying officers in charge of the triangulation of the Pyrenees and participated in drawing up a map. Following the dissolution of the body of geodesic engineers in 1831, he transferred to the general staff and was responsible for correcting the calculations on the "France2" map. 4. Morlet, C.A. "Memoire sur la determination de l'equateur magnetique, et sur les changemens qui sont survenus dans le cours de cette courbe depuis 1776 jusqu'a nos jours". This work consists of pages [132]-183 plus a folding map bound in at the end of the volume. 5. Soubeiran, Eugene. "Memoire sur les arseniures d'hydrogene". This work consists of pages [184]-205 plus a plate bound in at the end of the volume. The author of this paper on Hydrogen Arsenides, the French scientist Eugene Soubeiran (1797-1859), was chief pharmacist at Paris' La Pitie Hospital and subsequently became director of the Pharmacie Centrale. Chosen as assistant professor of pharmacy, he was then appointed the Chair of Physics at the Ecole de Pharmacie. He went on to obtain his medical degree and was appointed chair of Pharmacy at the Faculty of Medicine. One of three researchers to independently discover chloroform, he was the first to publish his findings. 6. Couverchel, Jean-Francois. "Memoire sur la maturation des fruits". This work consists of pages [206]-248. A pharmacist, Jean-Francois Couverchel (1792-1856) was a member of the Academy of Medicine and the Society of Pharmacy in Paris. 7. Poncelet, Jean-Victor; and Lesbros, Joseph-Aime. "Experiences hydrauliques sur les lois de l'ecoulement de l'eau a travers les orifices rectangulaires verticaux a grandes dimensions". This work consists of pages 249-502 plus 7 folding plates bound in at the end of this volume. The French engineer and mathematician Jean-Victor Poncelet (1788-1867) served as Commanding General of the Ecole Polytechnique. He is best known for his work in projective geometry and collaborated with Charles Julian Brianchon in making a significant contribution to Feuerbach's theorem. His discoveries about projective harmonic conjugates relating the poles and polar lines to conic sections and the concept of parallel lines meeting at a point at infinity led to the principles of duality and continuity. Poncelet served as a military engineer during Napoleon's Russian campaign. He subsequently served as professor of mechanics at the Ecole d'Application in Metz, publishing "Introduction a la mecanique industrielle" and improving the design of water wheels and turbines. The Sorbonne created the position of "Chaire de mecanique physique et experimentale" specifically for him in 1837 and he was later appointed commanding general of the Ecole Polytechnique in 1848. Poncelet 's name is listed among those of notable French engineers and scientists displayed on the Eiffel Tower. 8. Saint-Hilaire, Isidore Geoffrey. "Recherches zoologiques et physiologiques sur les variations de la taille chez les animaux et dans les races humaines". This work consists of pages [503]-572. The French zoologist Isodore Geoffrey Saint-Hilaire (1805-1861) was an authority on deviation of animals structure from the norm. It was he who coined the term "ethologie" (ethology), the study and science of animal behavior in 1854. Saint-Hilaire followed in his father's footsteps, lecturing on ornithology and teaching zoology at the Athenee, and teratology at the Ecole pratique. Elected a member of the French Academy of Sciences in 1833, he was appointed to act as deputy for his father at the faculty of sciences in 1837. Isodore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire founded the Societe zoologique d'acclimatation in 1854. He had conducted studies of omphalosites, celosomia, hemaphroditism and introduced the term "teratologie". His name was commemorated in that given to a species of turtle, the "Phrynops hilarii". 9. Coriolis, Gaspard-Gustave de. "Memoire sur le principe des forces vives dans les mouvemens relatifs des machines". This work consists of pages [573]-607. The First edition of de Coriolis' important work on the theory of machines, particularly in regards to the problems relative to rotation. This work was a follow up to his earlier "Du Calcul de l'effect des machines" which then led to his subsequent work "Sur les equations du mouvement relatif des systemes des corps", published in 1935, where he described the "Coriolis Effect". His approach diverged from the Newtonian method prevalent in the 18th century and that of the 19th century. The French mathematician, mechanical engineer and scientist Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis (1792-1843) was the first to apply the term "travail" (work) to the transfer of energy by a force acting through distance. His work on supplementary forces detected in rotation led to his defining the "Coriolis effect". His 1829 textbook "Calcul de l'Effect des Machines" defined mechanics in ways which could easily be applied by industry and established the expression for kinetic energy in relation to mechanical work. His paper, "Sur le principe des forces vives dans les movemens relatifs des machines" (On the principle of kinetic energy in the relative motion in machines) was read to the Academie des Sciences in 1832, followed three years later by his paper on the equations of relative motion of a system of bodies, "Sur les equations du mouvement relatif des systemes de corps". In this latter work discussing the supplementary forces that are detected in a rotating frame of reference, Coriolis divided these forces into two categories, the second of which would eventually be named after him. In 1836, Coriolis succeeded Claude-Louis Navier as chair of applied mechanics at the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees, taking Navier's place in the Academie des Science. He subsequently succeeded Dulong as Directeur des etudes in the Ecole Polytechnique. His name is inscribed on the Eiffel Tower. 10. Benoiston de Chateauneuf, Louis-Francois. "Memoire sur l'etat de la fecondite en Europe, au commencement du dix-neuvieme siecle". This work on the state of fertility in Europe consists of pages [608]-623. The French economist, statistician, historian, and demographer Louis-Francois Benoiston de Chateauneuf (1776-1856) studied at the Paris School of Medicine and at Val-de-Grace. He served at military surgeon from 1791, returning to Paris in 1810, taking up an administrative position at the Ministry of Finance. Under the guidance of the mathematician Simeon Denis Poisson, Benoiston de Chateauneuf undertook his first statistical reseach project, publishing a statistical article on the consumption of Parisian households. He went on to publish a thesis on foundlings which earned him the Montyon prize for statistitcs in 1824. With his friend Louis Rene Villerme, he was in charge of a study mission on public hygiene and the two men were subsequently elected members of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences. He undertook surveys of the economic and moral state of the population in 1835 and 1837. In his "Human Comedy", Balzac refers to him as "one of the most courageous scientists who devoted himself to the arid and useful research of statistics". 11.
