First printing of Eulers's importent paper in which he defended the wave-theory of light in opposition to the newtonian corpuscular hypothesis.Most of the scientists and philosophers of the 18th century defended the corpuscular theory of light, but Euler ""being impressed by the notion that the emission of particles would cause a diminuation in the mass of the radiating body, which was not observed, while the emission of waves involved no such consequence...he insisted strongly on the resamblance between light and sound" the whole of the space through which the heavenly bodies move is filled with a subtle matter, the aether, and light consists in vibrations of this aether 'light is the same thing as sound in air'....The chief novelty of Euler's writings on light is his explanation of the manner in which material bodies appear coloured when wieved with white light" and, in particular the way in which colours of thin plates are produced.""

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).

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.
