9628 Horologium Oscillatorium, sive de Motu Pendulorum ad Horologia aptato 



Demonstrationes Geometricfle, editio princeps ; with woodcuts and numerous diagrams, folio, 

 new boards (a few slight wormholes and icater- stains on margin, but a tall and sound copy) ; 

 with auto, of Brook Taylor, F.B.S.« inventor of the calculus of finite differences, on title 

 (very rare), £4. 45 Parisiis, F. Muguet, Regis typographus, 1673 



' a work that ranks second only to Newton's Principia and constitutes historically a necessary introduction to it. 

 The book opens with a description of pendulum clocks, of which Huygens is the inventor. Then follows a treatment of 

 accelerated motion of bodies falling free, or sliding on inclined planes, or on given curves— culminating in the brilliant 

 discovery that the cycloid is a tautochronous curve. To the theory of curves he added the important theory of ' evolutes.' 

 ... In Huygens's assumption that the common centre of gravity of a group of bodies, oscillating about a horizontal axis, 

 rises to its original height, but no higher, is expressed for the first time one of the most beautiful principles of dynamics, 

 afterwards called the principle of the conservation of vis viva. The 13 theorems at the end relate to the theory of 

 centrifugal force in circular motion. This theory aided Newton in discovering the law of gravitation.'— i^ro/. Cajori. 



' This work contains the first attempt to apply dynamics to bodies of finite size and not merely to particles.'— 

 IF. W. R. Ball.
