Édition originale rare. « 1686 c’est la grande vogue du système tourbillonnaire (…) 1752 on en est au stade de la grande vulgarisation et nul n’oserait dans les cercles éclairés où s’élabore l’Encyclopédie prononcer le mot de Tourbillon. Entre ces deux dates, Fontenelle s’est inlassablement attaché au rôle de propagandiste du cartésianisme » (François Grégoire). Bernard le Bouvier de Fontenelle (1657-1757) publia sa Théorie des tourbillons cartésiens sous le voile de l'anonyme en 1752 tandis que triomphaient les théories de Newton contre la cosmogonie de Descartes. L’Académicien de la Lande nota, dans son édition des Entretiens sur la pluralité des mondes : « Fontenelle élevé dans les idées de tourbillons, les a conservées jusqu’à sa mort ; quoique Newton eut publié en 1687 son fameux livre des Principes, Fontenelle me proposa dans ses dernières années, de faire imprimer un petit ouvrage sur les tourbillons, qu’il avait fait autrefois ; je voulus l’en dissuader. Falconet (Camille Falconet, éditeur et médecin consultant du roi, ami de Malebranche et de Fontenelle ndlr) eut la faiblesse de s’en charger quelque temps après. Cet ouvrage est intitulé : Théorie des tourbillons cartésiens, avec des réflexions sur l’attraction. Mais on n’osa pas y mettre son nom ».Tchemerzine, III, 337, b ; Conlon, 52.629 ; Grégoire François.

Henry Foster was involved with geophysical observations throughout his career in the British navy. Foster joined the Royal Navy in 1812. Early projects included surveys and, on a trip to South America with Captain Basil Hall, determination of the acceleration of gravity. In 1824 Foster was made lieutenant and became a fellow of the Royal Society. He performed most of his investigations while on expeditions to the Arctic in 1824 - 1825 and to the South Seas in 1828 - 1831. He spent the winter of 1824 - 1825 at Port Bowen, north of the Arctic Circle, as astronomer of an expedition led by Sir William Edward Parry" he studied geomagnetism, the velocity of sound, atmospheric refraction, and the acceleration of gravity. The Board of Longitude printed a detailed account of his observations. In 1827 Foster received the rank of commander and the Copley Medal of the Royal Society for these researches. In the spring of 1828 he sailed to the South Seas as commander of a sloop sent on a geophysical expedition, at the suggestion of the Royal Society, to study geomagnetism, gravity, meteorology, and oceanography.

Foucault's papers: pp. 135-138 (1851, vol. 32), pp. 421-424 (1852, vol. 35), pp. 424-427 (1852, vol. 35), pp. 469-470 (1852, vol. 35) and p. 602 (1852, vol. 35).
First appearance of the papers in which Foucault presented his discovery of the proof of the rotation of the earth by the large pendulum, called FOUCAULT'S PENDULUM. It was presented by Arago at the meeting of the Acadey of Scieces on February 3, 1851 (the first paper offered). In the third paper offered, ""Sur les phénoménes d'orientation des corps tournant entraînés par un axe fixe..."", Foucault presents his invention of the GYROSCOPE, a freely spinning flywheel, which constitutes a different method of demonstrating the rotation of the Earth"" he furthermore correctly predicts the use of the gyroscope as a compass. The word ""gyroscope"" was coined by Foucault (on p. 427 of the third paper), taken from the Greek, meaning ""to look at the rotation"".Since Léon Foucault's public demonstration of his pendulum experiment, it has played a prominent role in physics, physics education, and the history of science. The Foucault pendulum is a long pendulum suspended high above the ground and carefully set into planar motion. The phenomenon described by Foucault1 concerns the orientation of the plane of oscillation of the pendulum. ""The experiment (with the pendulum) caused great excitement at the time. Heracleides had first suggested twenty-two centuries before that the earth was rotating and Copernicus had renewed the suggestion three centuries before. Since the time of Galileo two and a half centuries before, the world of scholarship had not doubted the matter. Nevertheless, all evidence as to that rotation had been indirect, and not until Foucault's experiment could the earth's rotation actually be said to have been demonstrated rather that deduced."" ""Continuing to experiment on the mechanics of the earth's rotation, Foucault in 1852 invented the gyroscope, which, he showed, gave a clearer demonstration than the pendulum of the earth's rotation and had the property, similar to that of the magnetic needle, of maintaining a fixed direction. Foucault's pendulum and gyroscope had more than a popular significance (which continues to this day). First, they stimulated the development of theoretical mechanics, making relative motion and the theories of the pendulum and the gyroscope standard topics for study and investigation. Second, prior to Foucault's demonstrations the study of those motions on the earth's surface in which the deflecting force of rotation plays a prominent part (especially winds and ocean currents) was dominated by unphysical notions of how this force acted. Foucault's demonstrations and the theoretical treatments they inspired showed conclusively that this deflecting force acts in all horizontal directions, thus providing the sound physical insight on which Buys Ballot, Ferrel, Ulrich Vettin, and others could build.
