---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- Nouvelle édition (troisième) revue et CONSIDERABLEMENT AUGMENTEE ; la première édition ne comportant qu'un seul volume, tandis que la seconde n'en comportait que 2 ---- "THE FOUNDER OF THE FRENCH HYDRAULICS SCHOOL" ---- "DU BUAT began his hydraulic studies in 1776 and by 1779 he had published the first edition of his major work, Principes d'hydraulique, copies of which are now quite rare. This was enlarged in 1786 to two volumes, the first of which was analytical and the second experimental... A posthumous edition of three volumes appeared in 1816, the third volume (Pyrodynamique) having been written during his exile. The all three editions carried essentially the same prefatory remarks reviewing the state of the art - in particular those many important topics about which little or nothing was known ; portions of the discourse are often quoted in subsequent works because of their continued relevance. The analytical part of Du Buat's writing was perhaps more effective than that of such contemporaries as J.C. Borda and C. Bossut, for he dealt extensively with matters of boundary resistance, velocity distribution, underflow, overflow and backwater. It was in experimental work that he excelled. The results of his 200 separate tests on flow in pipes, artificial channels, and natural streams were to be used by engineers for generations. Even more original was his treatment of immersed bodies... He was also the first to demonstrate that the shape of the rear of a body is as important in controlling its resistance as is that of the front...". (DSB IV)**1827/L3

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "DUHEM published his major philosophical work, La théorie physique, son objet et sa structure, in 1906, after having largely completed his researches in physical sciences. A physical theory , he held there, is a system of mathematical propositions, deduced from a small number of principles, which has the object of representing a set of experimental laws as simply, as completely and as exactly as possible. In adopting this position, he was explicitly rejecting what he considered to be the two alternatives to which any serious existing or previous account might be reduced...".

---- Seconde édition REDONDUE ET CONSIDERABLEMENT AUGMENTEE ---- "ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF MODERN PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY"". (DSB) ---- "DUHEM began his scientific work with the generalization and application of thermodynamics... Among the subjects treated systematically were thermoelectricity, pyroelectricity... His success with problems in the period 1884/1900 rank him with J.H. Van't Hoff, Ostwald, Arrhénius and H. Le Chatelier as one of the founders of modern physical chemistry. DUHEM's results are of course an extension and elaboration of the pioneer work of Gibbs and Helmholtz. But DUHEM's elaboration, explanation and application of their suggestions in his Traité de mécanique chimique and Thermodynamique et chimie provided a whole generation of french physicists and chemists with their knowledge of chemical thermodynamics... DUHEM's scientific ideas had a major influence on french physical chemistry and particularly on HADAMARD, JOUGUET and the COSSERATS. He was a pioneer in attempting to prove rigorous general theorems about thermodynamics, physical chemistry, Navier-Stokes fluids, finite elasticity and wave propagation. His purely scientific investigations and results in these fields are important, useful and significant today...". (DSB IV pp. 225/233)

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "DUHEM was that rare, not to say unique, scientist whose contributions to the philosphy of science, the historiography of science and science itself were of profound importance on a fully professional level in all three disciplines... Duhem's interests fell roughly into periods. Thermodynamics and electromatnetism predominated between 1884 and 1900... The central commitment of his scientific life was the building up of such a science, one that would include electricity and magnetism as well as mechanics... Electricity and magnetism were important to Duhem... His scientific ideas and outlook had a majour influence...".

His publications analyzed each discovery and invention in the framework of the entire science... His popular work, Exposé des applications de l'électricité, appeared in Paris in two volumes in 1853-1854 and was expanded in five volumes (1856-1862), making it a valuable reference encyclopedia of electrical development up to that time. In it Du Moncel reviewed Charles Bourseul's proposal for the electric transmission of speech, the earliest approach to practical telephony. Du Moncel worte of this, "I thought it incredible", yet it was held to have contained the germ of later Bell and Gray inventions. In the contests among telephone inventions, Du Moncel soon differentiated between those devices capable of transmitting only music and those which could transmit the more complex articulations of the human voice. He gave maximum praise to Bell. Du Moncel also described electromagnetic equipment and its widening use in telegraphy, mechanics and medicine...".

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Charles Dupin graduated in 1803 from the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris as a naval engineer. In 1801, under the guidance of his teacher Gaspard Monge, he had made his first discovery, the cyclid (of Dupin). After assignments in Antwerp, Genoa, and Toulon, he was placed in charge of the damaged naval arsenal on Corfu in 1807. He restored the port, did fundamental research on the resistance of materials and the differential geometry of surfaces... Settling down to a life of teaching and public service, Dupin accepted the position of professor of mechanics at the Paris Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers, a position he held until 1854. His free public lectues, dealing with mathematics and mechanics and their industrial applications, became very popular...". (DSB IV pp. 257/258).

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "Dupré entered the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris in 1826, gained first place in science in the agrégation of 1829, and immediately took a post at the Collège royal in Rennes. There he taught mathematics and physical science. In 1847, he was appointed to the chair of mathematics in the Faculty of Science in Rennes. His last post, from 1866, was as dean of the faculty there... Dupré's scientific career fell into two parts. In the first, which lasted from his years at the Ecole Normale until about 1859, he contributed to several branches of mathematics and physics... During the second period, which covered the remaining ten years of his life, Dupré concerned himself exclusively with the mechanical theory of heat, his main interest being the implications of the theory for matter on the molecular scale. He made an important contribution to the dissemination in France of the newly discovered principles of thermodynamics in nearly forty communications to the Academy and in a successful advanced textbook Théorie mécanique de la chaleur (1869)".

---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE avec Préface de Paul LANGEVIN ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "This book brought to many readers at least some idea of what relativity theory was and where it was leading in cosmological speculation. It showed, too, how Eddington's mind had already entered philosophical groves in which it continued to run - his selective subjectivism, almost universally repudiated, and his logical theory of structure, a guiding illumination , in the words of Martin Johnson, who added, as elucidator of the logical status of physics, Eddington led well his generation".
