 A FIXE COPY OF THE EXCESSIVELY RARE ORIGINAL EDITION of this monumental work, which first made public the solar 

 system known by the author's name, and formed the starting point of modern astronomy. ' The De liwolutionilnts he 

 completed in 1530, but could not be prevailed on to give to the press till just before the end of his life. In 1542 he was 

 seized with apoplexy, accompanied by paralysis on the right side. On 24th May 1543 the first printed copy of the 

 work arrived at Frauenberg, and was 'touched by the author's dying hands only a few hours before he expired. His 

 memory gone and his faculties all obscured, it could only be said he seemed to know what it was he touched.'

A WORK OF THE GREATEST RARITY, quite unknown to bibliographers (e. g. Brunet or Graesse) and of EQUAL IMPORTANCE 

 to the XAVAL HISTORIAN, being in fact one of the earliest (if not the earliest), and certainly the fullest work on the subject, 

 minutely illustrating the shipping and craft of all nations (including those for war purposes), with details as to their 

 construction. Some of the plates include pleasure-boats of the author's own invention, and of the most fantastic design. 



Coronelli constructed two large globes, which are still to be seen in the National Library in Paris, and was the author 

 of over 400 geographical maps. None of his biographer?, however, knew of the above book, which of all his numerous 

 works forms undoubtedly his most notable achievement.

 for the use of students, demonstration accompanied narrative, the purpose of discovery being thus illustrated as well as its 

 origin related.' Miss A. M. Clerke.

' Including a reprint of the Logometria, with extensive developments arid applications of the fluxional calculus.' D. N. B. 



' Had Cotes lived, we might have known something ! 'Sir Isci'ic Newton. 



' Cotes's Hormonla Mensurantm was the earliest work in which decided progress was made in the application of 

 logarithms and of the properties of the circle to the calculus of fluents.' Prof, de Morgan. It is also the first complete 

 treatise on the integral calculus, and first contains the well-known theorem in trigonometry known by his name, which 

 depends on the forming of factors of x* 1. The second part of the work contains ' yEstimatio Erroruin in mixta Mathesi 

 pei variationes Partium Trianguli plani et sphferici ', 'pointing out the best way of arriving at the most probable mean result 

 of astronomical observations. It is remarkable for a partial anticipation of the ' method of least squares ', as well as for 

 the first employment of the system of assigning different, weights to observations' (D. N. B.), also ' de Methodo Different- 

 iali Newtonians ' ; ' Canonotechnia ' ; 'de Descensu Gravium ', etc. etc.
