Ozanam's work on the proportional compas - first printed in 1688 - became very popular and successfull and it was lastly printed in 1794.""By almost any criterion Ozanam cannot be regarded as a first-rate mathematician, even of his own time. But he had a flair for writing and during his career wrote a number of books, some of which were very popular, passing through many editions.""(DSB).
