First appearance of the formulation of the Minkowski Problem.The Minkowski problem deals with existence, uniqueness, regularity, and stability of closed convex hypersurfaces whose Gauss curvature (as a function of the outer normals) is preassigned.

(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1769). 4to. Without wrappers as extracted from "Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres", tome XXIII. Pp. 353-364. First edition. In this paper Lambert shows that one can solve the classic three body problem by the use of infinite series. This allows numerical approximations, but Lambert notes that nearly nothing in the problem (excepts for the classic easier cases) allows for shortcuts in these calcualtions. More even, approximations of neighboured streches of the orbit to be calculated may even require different approximatuion series, so as to renderr even tables more or less or at least rather ineffective.

Kjøbenhavn, Reitzel, 1835-39. Bound in 4 contemp. full cloth. Some wear at spine ends and along hinges. IV,325;(4),328;338;384,(1) pp. Internally with some scattered brownspots.

He became the best surgeon of his time in France. He was "a shrewd diagnostician, an operator of unrivalled aplomb, a wonderfull clinical teacher, and a good experimental physiologist and pathologist"(Garrison); his greatest contribution were in the field of surgical pathology."(Garrison & Morton: 2247 (the French edition).

(Paris, Crochard, 1828). 8vo. Without wrappers. In 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique', Series 2 - Volume 37, Cahier 4. Pp. 337-444 (entire issue offered). Poisson's paper:pp. 337-355. First appearance of one of the founding papers in "The mathematical Theory of Elasticity" and Poisson's first on the subject. "The theory of elasticity based on the idea of a molecular structure attracted Poisson's interest, and he did much to lay the foundations of that science."(Timoshenko p. 111 ff.)."In the preface to the long "Mémoire sur I’équilibre et le movement des corps élastiques" (14 April 1828), the hints yield to explicit declaration. In applying mathematics to physics, Poisson stated, it was necessary at first to employ abstraction and "in this regard, Lagrange has gone as far as possible in replacing physical ties by equations between coordinates." Now, however, "along with this admirable conception," it is necessary to "construct physical mechanics, the principle of which is to reduce everything to molecular actions." In other words, the death of Laplace the previous year enabled Poisson to move boldly ahead with his long range plans and to present himself as Laplace’s successor."(DSB)The issue offered contains notable papers by Berzelius, Gay-Lussac and others.

Paris, Chez Bernard, 1806. No wrappers. Ectracts from "Annales de Chimie ou Recueil de Mémoires.." Vol. 57. Pp. 131-174 a. pp. 225-272. With the titlepage to volume 57. First appearance of a classic paper in which Proust describes his discovery of Grape.Sugar and the identificationof this with glucose. He investigated the varieties of sugar that occur in sweet vegetable juices, distinguishing three kinds, and he showed that the sugar in grapes, of which he announced the existence to his classes at Madrid, is identical with that obtained from honey by the Russian chemist J. T. Lowitz.Proust is famous for his work on the steadiness of composition of chemical compounds."In chemistry, the law of definite proportions, sometimes called Proust's Law, states that a chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass. An equivalent statement is the law of constant composition, which states that all samples of a given chemical compound have the same elemental composition. For example, oxygen makes up 8/9 of the mass of any sample of pure water, while hydrogen makes up the remaining 1/9 of the mass. Along with the law of multiple proportions, the law of definite proportions forms the basis of stoichiometry."(Wikipedia).

Internally very nice and clean. 429 pp. First edition of Piaget's groundbreaking work on the development of intelligence in children and child psychology in general.Piaget wrote 3 books on child psychology which all became classics, this, however, being his first and main work on the subject. "This masterpiece was the result of an extremely long preparatory phase. With the help of his wife, Piaget began observing his children after the birth of his first daughter. Published 9 years later, The Origins of Intelligence in Children [The title of the English translation] analyzes behavior from birth to approximately 18 month." (Montangero, Piaget, or, The advance of knowledge, 1997, p. 18). There had previously been published works related to psychology of children and teenagers this, however, is the first work to describe the physiology in a scientific way of children as young as 0 to 18 month.It is, [...], the work of Jean Piaget that has been most influential on the way psychologists, educators, and even philosophers have come to think about the cognitive development of children.
