On the Attraction of homogenous Ellipsoides. Read June 15, 1809.
(London, W. Bulmer and Co., 1809). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1809 - Part II. Pp. 345-372. Clean and fine.
First printing this importent paper in which Ivory introduces his well-known theorem which bears his name. It states that the attraction of an ellipsoid upon a point exterior to it is dependent upon the attraction of another ellipsoid upon a point interior to it.""In 1809 J. Ivory proved the three-dimensional version of this theorem by straightforward calculation and by using an appropriate parametrization. This theorem holds in the n-dimensional Euclidean space (n > 1). It has been shown that it is also true in the pseudo-Euclidean plane (Minkowski)"" (H. Stachel).""Ivory's scientific reputation, for which he was awarded many honours during his lifetime, including knighthood of the Order of the Guelphs, Civil Division (1831), was founded on the ability to understand and comment the work of the French analysts rather than any great originality of his own...Ivory's work, conducted with great industry over a long period, helped to foster in England a new interest in the application of analysis to physical problems."" (DSB VII. p. 37).
On the development of the disturbing Function, upon which depend the inequalities of the motions of the Planets, caused by their mutual attraction. Received May 30, - Read June 20, 1833.
(London, Richard Taylor, 1833). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1833 - Part II. Pp. 559-592. Clean and fine.
First printing of a major paper by James Ivory.""Ivory's scientific reputation, for which he was awarded many honours during his lifetime, including knighthood of the Order of the Guelphs, Civil Division (1831), was founded on the ability to understand and comment the work of the French analysts rather than any great originality of his own...Ivory's work, conducted with great industry over a long period, helped to foster in England a new interest in the application of analysis to physical problems."" (DSB VII. p. 37).
On the Grounds of the Method which Laplace has given in the second Chapter of the third Book of his Mécanique Céleste for computing the Attractions of Spheroids of every Description. Read July 4, 1811. (+) II. On the Attractions of an extensive Class ...
(London, W. Bulmer and Co., 1812). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1812 - Part I. Pp. 1-45 a. 46-82. A small loss of paper in inner margin of first leaf. No loss of text. Fine and clean.
First printing of an importent paper in which Ivory comments the methods used by Laplace and substitutes analytical methods for some of Laplace's geometrical considerations. Laplace himself paid tribute to Ivory's work. ""Ivory's scientific reputation, for which he was awarded many honours during his lifetime, including knighthood of the Order of the Guelphs, Civil Division (1831), was founded on the ability to understand and comment the work of the French analysts rather than any great originality of his own...Ivory's work, conducted with great industry over a long period, helped to foster in England a new interest in the application of analysis to physical problems."" (DSB VII. p. 37).

(London, W. Bulmer and Co., 1814). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1814 - Part I. Pp. 121-186 and 1 engraved plate.Clean and fine.
First printing of a major paper by Ivory concerning the more difficult problems of calculating orbits of comets than the calculation of the orbits of planets.""Ivory's scientific reputation, for which he was awarded many honours during his lifetime, including knighthood of the Order of the Guelphs, Civil Division (1831), was founded on the ability to understand and comment the work of the French analysts rather than any great originality of his own...Ivory's work, conducted with great industry over a long period, helped to foster in England a new interest in the application of analysis to physical problems."" (DSB VII. p. 37).

First edition, the journal-issue. For this paper Ivory received the Royal Medal in 1826.""Ivory's scientific reputation, for which he was awarded many honours during his lifetime, including knighthood of the Order of the Guelphs, Civil Division (1831), was founded on the ability to understand and comment the work of the French analysts rather than any great originality of his own...Ivory's work, conducted with great industry over a long period, helped to foster in England a new interest in the application of analysis to physical problems.""
