[Entire volume: Pp. (4), 261-535, (25)]. First printing of this groundbraking paper in which the Dixit-Stiglitz model was presented for the first time. The famous and exceedingly influential model of monopolistic competition: "transformed international trade theory, as it did other fields of economics, and provided one of the key building blocks for the new economic geography literature that developed in the 1990s." (Venables, Inequalities in Developing Countries). Joseph Eugene Stiglitz an American economist and a professor at Columbia University, recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2001), former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank. He is known for his critical view of the management ofglobalization, free-market economists, whom he calls "free market fundamentalists", and some international institutions like theInternational Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Stiglitz is one of the most frequently cited economists in the world. Stiglitz has to a large extent been influenced Keynes and has himself influenced famous and influential economist such as Paul Krugman, Jason Furman and Stephany Griffith-Jones.

"After Poinceré, the most significant work on solutions of equations of the form dy/dx= P(x,y)/Q (x,y) is due to Ivar Bendixon (1861-1935). One of his major results (the offered paper) provides a criterion by means of which, in certain regions, one can show that no closed trajectory exists....The theorem now named after Poincaré and Bendixon, which is the latter's 1901 paper, provides a positive criterion for the existence of a periodic solution of (the above equation)."

First edition of an importent paper in algebraic analysis. The method used by Lagrange was probably suggested to him by Lambert, and both Euler, Lexell, d'Alembert and Condorcet all became highly intereste in this discovery as soon as they heard about it. "Laplace later presented a better proof. Lagrange's formula occupied numerous other mathematicians, including Arbogast, Parceval, Servois, Hindenburg and Bürgman....; and virtually every analyst of the nineteenth century considered the problem."

Claude Grostete de la Mothe (1647–1713), ”theologian, was born at Orleans in 1647, and was the son of Jacques Grostête de la Buffière, a member of the Paris bar, and an elder of the protestant church at Charenton. He assumed, according to custom, the name of one of his father's estates. He graduated in law at Orleans University 1664, and in the following year joined the Paris bar; but in 1676, having abandoned law for theology, he became protestant pastor at Lizy, near Melun. In 1682 he accepted a call to Rouen, but returned to Lizy on finding that no successor could be obtained, and was secretary of the provincial synod held there. On the revocation of the edict of Nantes in 1685, he sought refuge in London with his wife. Marie Berthe, daughter of a Paris banker, was naturalised in 1668, and was minister first of the Swallow Street, and then, from 1694 till his death, of the Savoy Church. In 1712 he was elected a member of the Berlin Royal Society; in 1713 he collected subscriptions in England for the Huguenots released from the French galleys; and he died in London 30 Sept. 1713. La Mothe's father abjured protestantism, and his brother, Marin des Mahis, an ex-pastor become a canon of Orleans. La Mothe published 'Two Discourses relating to the Divinity of our Saviour,' London, 1693, 'The Inspiration of the New Testament asserted and explained,' London, 1694, and several treatises in French, one of them in defence of the Camisard prophets.” (DNB).

Despite Siemens being the one credited for the invention, Wilde was the first to publish a paper describing it; this was communicated to the Royal Society by Michael Faraday in 1866.Joseph Sidebotham (1824-1882) was the first to practice photography in Manchester and of the most important local photographers in general. His interest was, however, not confined to photography; he was an amateur botanist, entomologist and astronomer. He was also a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and lectured to the Mechanics Institute on astronomy and electro-magnetism.

Pp.(2), 225-288 a. 2 folded maps. Cayley's paper: pp. 259-261 Fitrst appearance of Cayley's famous paper on the Four-Colour-Problem"The four-colour map problem (to prove that on any map only four colours are needed to separate countries) is celebrated in mathematics. It resisted the attempts of able mathematicians for over a century and when it was successfully proved in 1976 the ‘computer proof’ was controversial: it did not allow scrutiny in the conventional way. At the height of his influence in 1878, Arthur Cayley had drawn attention to the problem at a meeting of the London Mathematical Society and it was duly ‘announced’ in print. (the paper offered). He made a short contribution himself and he encouraged the young A. B. Kempe to publish a paper on the subject. Though ultimately unsuccessful, the work of Cayley and Kempe in the late 1870s brought valuable insights..... Francis Galton is revealed as the ‘go-between’ in suggesting Cayley publish his observations in Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society." (Tony Crilly).The Four-Colour-Theorem was proved in 1976 by Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken. It was the first major mathematical theorem to be proved using a computer.

The decree of 1835 contains a detailed Criminal Law for transport of slaves over the Atlantic.The decree was issued in two forms at the same time, one with only Danish text and one with Danish and German paralelltext (the version offered).

Leipzig, B.G. Teubner, 1882. Contemp. hcloth. IV,201,(1) pp., textfigs. At end inserted "Anfangsgründe der beschreibende Geometrie nebst einem Anhang über Kartenprojection. Ein Leitfaden beim Unterricht an höheren Lehranstalten von Wilhelm Mink." Orig. printed wrappers. 47 pp. textfigs. Internally fine and clean. Scarce first edition of this groundbreaking work. "The work on non-Euclidean geometry had brought the realization that geometries are man-made constructions bearing upon physical space but not necessarely exact idealization of it. This fact implied that several major changes had to be incorporated in any axiomatic approach to geometry. These were recognized and stressed by Moritz Pasch (1843-1930), who was the first to make major contributions to the foundations of geometry. His "Vorlesungen über neuere Geometrie", (the offered item) is a groundbreaking work." (Morris Kline)."Pasch initiated the axiomatic method, although the foundational developments of his time were against this point of view. Thus Cantor's striking discoveries were based, from an axiomatic point of view, on nothing...As late as 1903 Frege poked fun of at the axiomatic method as presented in Hilbert's "rundlagen der Geometrie....particularly Peano continued Pasch's work. In 1889 Peano published both his exposition of geometry, following Pasch, and his treatment of number...Pasch played a crucial role in the innovation of the axiomatic methode. This method, with contributions from logic and algebra, is a central feature of twentieth-century mathematics." (DSB). - Sommerville "Bibliography of Non-Euclidean Geometry", p. 67 (1882).
