EULER, Leonhard (1707-1783)
Mechanica sive motus scientia analytice exposita. St Petersburg: Academiae Scientiarum, 1736.
First edition of ‘Euler’s famous work in mechanics in which he introduced the use of analytical methods instead of the geometrical methods of Newton and his followers’ (Roberts and Trent). The discussion in the first volume of the free motion of the point-mass in a vacuum is ‘a brilliant re-formulation of the corresponding section in Newton’s Principia’. ‘Euler was the first to appreciate the importance of introducing uniform analytic methods into mechanics, thus enabling its problems to be solved in a clear and direct way’ (DSB). Roberts and Trent, Bibliotheca Mechanica, pp.103-4.
2 volumes, quarto (253 x 190mm). 32 folding engraved plates, one engraved headpiece, woodcut head- and tail pieces (faint spotting, small portion of blank upper margin of first title lost, marginal tear in 2E1 of vol. II). Contemporary mottled calf, spine gilt with red and green morocco labels (minor scuffing). Provenance: Fratelli Salimbeni (bookplate with letters Q.B) – G.P.C. (Pegasus bookplate with motto ‘Nec adversa retorquent’ and pencil shelfmarks V VII 370-371).
