First printing of Gordan's important paper in which he proved that any finite system of binary forms of arbitrary degree had a complete system of invariants. These archievement earned Gordan the name "King of invariant theory". (Kolmogorov, Mathematics of the 19th century, p. 85).Paul Gordan, German mathematician, was a major contributor to the field of invariant theory. He collaborated with Rudolf Clebsch on both invariant theory and algebraic geometry, and also developed proofs demonstrating that the numbers e and ? are transcendent numbers, numbers that are not the root of any algebraic equation with rational coefficients. A strict mathematical logician, Gordan commented that David Hilbert's less formal approach to mathematics was "not mathematics, it is theology." (Schlager, Science and Its Times, P. 269)

No loss of text. Fine and clean. First printing of an importent paper in which Ivory comments the methods used by Laplace and substitutes analytical methods for some of Laplace's geometrical considerations. Laplace himself paid tribute to Ivory's work. "Ivory's scientific reputation, for which he was awarded many honours during his lifetime, including knighthood of the Order of the Guelphs, Civil Division (1831), was founded on the ability to understand and comment the work of the French analysts rather than any great originality of his own...Ivory's work, conducted with great industry over a long period, helped to foster in England a new interest in the application of analysis to physical problems." (DSB VII. p. 37).

(Berlin, C.F. Voss, 1772). 4to. Without wrappers, extracted from "Nouveau Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et belles-Lettres", Année 1770, pp. 51-57 and pp. 58-67. Both papers first edition. In the first paper the design of a new lamp is presented, modelled after Lambert's previous studies on the "porte-voix". The second deals with ink and paperdegeneration. Because a lot of Lambert's manuscripts became unreadable through water damage during the time they were stored in Switzerland before being transported to Berlin, Lambert goes into the causes of ink and paper degeneration. Through experimentation he arrives at the kind of ink and paper that withstand humidity best.
