Pp. 431-503 and 16 plates + pp.573-607 and 4 plates. Both papers fine and clean. First printing of 2 of Newton's most importent monographs, describing the reptilian remains from the Permotriassic rocks at Elgin, Scotland. In these two researche "Newton lacked the actual bones to work with; he had only their cavities in sandstone, from which, after great labor, he obtainesd and fitted together caasts of gutta-percha. He discovered Diconydonts and pareiasaurs for the first time in Europe showing how closely they resembled the descriptions of those found in Karroo Formation of South Africa."(DSB).In 1893 Newton was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. He was president of the Paleontological Society from 1921 to 1928 and president of the Geologist's Association 1896-1898.

First appearance of Peano's important paper operations of variables. The famous Italian mathematician, logical philosopher, pioneer of symbolic logic, and a founder of mathematical logic and set theory, Giuseppe Peano (1858 -1932) studied mathematics at the University of Turin, where he was employed just after graduating (1880), and where he stayed almost all of his life, devoting this to mathematics. After having graduated with honours, he was employed to assist first Enrico D'Ovidio, and then the renowned Angelo Genocchi, who possessed the chair of Infinitesimal calculus. In 1890 Peano became extraordinary professor, and in 1895 ordinary professor, of infinitesimal calculus at the Unversity of Turin. hIS "Principles of Arithmetics" (the present work) constitutes his groundbreaking main work.

(London, Richard and John E. Taylor, 1837) No wrappers. Extracted fron "Scientific Memoirs, selected from The Transactions of Foreign Academies of Science and Learned Societies. Edited by Richard Taylor.", Vol. I. Pp. 608-630. First English edition of Lenz' first importent paper on electromagnetic induction."Lenz worked out the theoretical and practical aspects of the ballistic method of measuring electrical and magnetic quantities (1832) on the basis of his conception of the instantaneous, impactlike effect of induction current. Employing this method, he was able to make the first quantitative investigation of the induction phenomena themselves. (He established that the induced electromotive force in a coil is the sum of the electromotive force in each turn and does not depend upon the diameter of the turns, the thickness of the wire, or the metal of which it is made.) He also made a quantitative comparison of the resistivity of wire of different metals, established the laws of temperature dependence of resistivity in quadratic form for eight metals, derived the squarelaw variation of the attractive force of electromagnets with the magnetization current (under the conditions of the experiment, the magnetic field was proportional to the magnetic induction), and plotted curves showing the intensity distribution of magnetization along an iron core of a coil of finite length."(DSB).Lenz was born on February 12, 1804 in Dorpat, and died in Rome on februray 10, 1865. He became professor of physics at the University of St. Petersburg. He investigated the conductivity of many materials for electricity and the effect of temperature on conductivity. he also studied the heat produced by the current and discovered the law which is known by the name of Joule.(Magie "A Source Book of Physics" pp.511-13).

First printing of Jacobi's paper (Sur l'elimination ...) in which "he showed how to reduce a general three-body problem - that of the motion of two planets about the Sun - to a problem of the motion of two fictive bodies. He subjected the masses, positions and velocities of these fictive bodies to the restrictions that their centre of gravity should be identical to that of the original system, and their accelerations derivable from the force function for that system; the total force vive was the same, and the conservation of areas still held."
