‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE DES OEUVRES DE FOURIER ---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE SUR GRAND PAPIER ET GRAND DE MARGES ---- "The first volume contains FOURIER's Théorie analytique de la chaleur with a separate title-page, reproducing that of the first edition of 1822. This work enormously influential in both pure and applied mathematics, more so, perhaps than any other important work in theoretical physics before or after up to the presend day. His manner of dealing with a succession of increasingly complex problems based on the heat propagation equation yielded a harvest of original mathematical discoveries and techniques which laid the foundation for further work in both pure and applied mathematics and in theoretical physics. The second volume contains FOURIER's memoirs published in the Mémoires of the Academy, in the Bulletins de la Société philomatique and in the Annales de Chimie et de physique...".
