Sur la Confusion que cause dans les Instrumens dioptriques la diverse Réfrangibilité des Rayons. (+) Considerations sur les nouvelles Lunettes D'Angleterre de mr. Dollond, et sur le Principe qui en est le Fondement. (2 Mémoirs).
(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1769) 4to. No wrappers, as issued in ""Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres"", tome XVIII, Année 1762. Pp. 195-225 and 1 folded engraved plate. + Pp. 226-248.
First printing of two importent Euler-papers on the mathematical theory of dioptrics, and how to avoid the confusions of lenses. - Eneström E 379 a. 380.
De la Propagation du Son (On the Propagation of Sound). (And same author:) Supplement aux Recherches sur la Propagation du Son (Supplement to the Research on the Propagation of Sound). (And same author:) Continuation des Recherches sur la Propagation ... - [THE WAVE EQUIATION FOR AERIAL ACOUSTICS DISCOVERED]
(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1766). 4to. Without wrappers as issued in ""Mémoires de L'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres"", tome XV, pp. 185-209 a. 1 engraved plate, pp.210-240 a. 2 engraved plates, pp. 241-264 and 1 engraved plate.
First editions of Eulers three main papers on the theory of sounds in which he formulated the WAVE EQUATION for the propagation of sounds in the air. In the first paper Euler analyzes the forces that act on a slice of air that is in a disturbed state at y but was initially at x. The analysis is customary in the modern elementary works. In the second paper Euler gets a result that is equivalent to the general formula ofinversion for partial differentiations, noting in addition that cylindrical and spherical waves also follow it.""Euler, Lagrange, and others worked on the propagation of sound in air. Euler wrote on the subject of sound frequently from the time he was twenty years old (1727) and established this field as a branch of mathematical physics...Three fine and definitive papers were read to the Berlin Academy in 1759 (the papers offered here).

"EULER, LEONHARD. - ON MAUPERTUIS' PRINCIPLE OF LEAST ACTION
Reference : 46426
(1752)
Lettre de M. Euler a M. Merian. (+) Expose concernant L'Examen de la Lettre de M. de Leibnitz, alleguée par M. Le Prof. Koenig, dans le Mois de Mars, 1751, des Actes de Leipzig a l'Occassion du Principe de la Moindre Action.
(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1752). 4to. No wrappers, as issued in ""Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres"", 1750, tome VI, Titlepage to the section. (3), pp. 520-532 (+) pp. 52-64 (Expose).
In 1751, Maupertuis' priority for the principle of least action was challenged in print (Nova Acta Eruditorum of Leipzig) by an old acquaintance, Johann Samuel Koenig, who quoted a 1707 letter purportedly from Leibniz that described results similar to those derived by Euler in 1744. However, Maupertuis and others demanded that Koenig produce the original of the letter to authenticate its having been written by Leibniz. Koenig only had a copy and no clue as to the whereabouts of the original. Consequently, the Berlin Academy under Euler's direction declared the letter to be a forgery and that its President Maupertuis could continue to claim priority for having invented the principle.Enestroem: 182.
Reflexions sur L'Espace et le Temps. (Reflections on space and time).
(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1750). 4to. No wrappers, as issued in ""Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres"", 1748, tome IV, Titlepage to the section. a. pp. 324-333.
First appearance of this importent paper in which Euler defends Newton's conceptions of space and time against the thesis that space and time are ideal, and motions relative. He outlays his views on the relation between Metaphysics and Mechanics. The truths of mechanics are ""so indubitably constant"" that they must be founded in the natures of bodies. Metaphysics is the study of the nature of bodies, therefore the laws of Mechanics constrain Metaphysical theories. In fact, any Metaphysical idea or conclusion corresponding to a Mechanical one must agree in all its implications with Mechanics. This applies in particular to space and time. Real, absolute, space and time are assumed by the laws of Mechanics. Therefore, Metaphysical arguments for the unreality of space and time must be unfounded and ""hide some parlogism"".
Discussion plus particuliere de diverses Manieres d'elever de L'Eau par le moyen des Pompes avec le plus grand Avantage. (In depth explanation concerning different methods with which to raise water through pumps with the greatest effectiveness).
(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1754) 4to. No wrappers, as issued in ""Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres"", tome VIII, Année 1752. Pp. 149-184 and 1 folded engraved plates.
First appearance of an importent work on different kinds of water-pumps, analyzing their different amounts of force used.""Euler also investigated a number of concrete problems on the motion of liquids and gases in pipes, on vibration of air in pipes, and on propagation of sound. Along with this, he worked on problems of hydrotechnology, discussed, in part, above. Especially remarkable were the improvements he introduced into the design of a hydraulic machine imagined by Segner in 1749 and the theory of hydraulic turbines, which he created in accordance with the principle of action and reaction (1752-1761).""(DSB).Eneström E 207.
Réfléxions sur quelques Loix génerales de la Nature qui s'observent dans les Effets des Forces quelconques. (Reflection on some general laws of nature which are observed in the effects of random forces).
(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1750). 4to. No wrappers as issued in ""Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres"" Tome IV, Année 1748. Pp. (189-) 218 and 1 engraved plate.
First appearance of this paper, in which Euler proves that given the static principle, he can derive the equilibrium conditions for a fluid, and from these, he obtains the integrability conditions for a ""Pfaffian"" form in three variables. He also looks at the equilibrium of a weight suspended from three elastic cords by looking, via analogy, to a special case of the problem for fluids.""In his 1748 paper, Euler in ""Reflexions sur quelques loix generales de la nature.."" starts by declaring his commitment to the least-action principle. His expression corresponds to what we would now call potential energy, so that his statement of least action (formulated by Maupertuis in 1746) in statics is equivalent to the principle that a system of bodies at rest will adopt a configuration that minimizes total potential energy. Euler called this quantity ""effort"".""Enestrom: E 146.

Three first editions by Euler. Euler's goal in the first paper is to show that certain phenomena that resulted from the eclipse of July 25, 1748 are evidence that the moon has an atmosphere that is almost 200 times less dense than that of the earth. (The phenomena Euler observed are optical effects of light passing close to a sharp edge, and not the refraction of a lunar atmosphere).The other papers on the physics of rigid bodies are groundbreaking as Euler here set forth what is known as ""Euler's dynamical equations of the motion of the mass-center of any solid"", and thus STATING FOR THE FIRST TIME THE LAW OF DRY FRICTION, mathematically. Euler explains his experiments with the inclined plane and discovers the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KINETIC AND STATIC FRICTION.""Leonhard Euler occupied himself with the mathematical point of view of friction as well as the experimental. He introduced the differentiation between static frictional forces and kinetic frictional forces, and solved the problem of rope friction, probably the first contact problem to be analytically solved in history. (1750, the papers offered). He was the first to lay the foundations of the mathematically way of dealing with the law of dry friction and in this way promoted further development. We have to thank for the symbol as the coefficient of friction. Euler worked with the idea that friction originates from the interlocation, between small triangular irregularities.This understanding survived, in different variations,for a hundred years and is also used today as the ""Tomlinson Model"" in connection with friction on atomic scale.""(L. Popov ""History of the Contact Mechanics and the Physics of Function"", p.3).Eneström: E142, E143, E144.
