'A work of great merit. Had it been studied more diligently by writers of text-books in England ani the United 

 States, many a lax and loose method of analysis hardly as yet eradicated from elementary text-books would have been dis- 

 carded over half a century ago. Cauchy was the first to publish a rigorous proof of Taylor's theorem. He greatly improved 

 the exposition of fundamental principles of the ditferential calculus by his mode of considering limits and his new theory 

 on the continuity of functions.' — Prof. Cajori. 



6777 CAUS (Isaac de) New Invention of Water- Works, teaching how to Raise Water Higher 

 THAN THE Spring, by which Invention the Perpetual Motion is proposed, many hard Labours

J. Moxon, 1704 

 This work has now become excessively rars, and is especially interesting for the full description of Saverv's third 



ENGINE ' for raising water by fire ', and the fine folding plate by J. Sturt illustrating it. 



De Caus's work was first published in the English translation by John Lkak in 1(309 (r. No. 7*29 nnle), and seems to liave 



been unknown to Mr. Dircks, who does not mention it in his Perpetuum Mobile.

The author's chief work, celebrate*! for elaborating his method of indivisibles and important as one of the works that 

 le<l up to tho inventicm of the differential calculus. 



' This work expounds his method of Indivisibles, which occupies an intermediate place between the method of exhaustion 

 of the Greeks and the methods of Newton and Leibnitz. He considers lines as composed of an infinite number of lines, 

 and solids as an infinite number of planes. The relative magnitude of two solids or surfaces could then be found simply 

 by the summation of .series of planes or lines ... By this method Cavalieri 8olve<i the majority of the problems proposed 

 by Kepler.'— /'ro/. Cnjori.
