14765 SCHWENTER (Daniel) GEOMETRIC PRACTICES NOV.E. Tractatus I. Darinnen auss rechteni 

 Fundament gewisen wird ; wie man in der Geometria auff dem Papier und Lande, mit denen darzu 

 gehorigen Instrumenten, als Circkel, Richtscheid, Winckelhacken, etc. zur noht ohne dieselben 

 verfahren unnd operiren solle. Tractatus II. Ohne einig Kiinstlich Geometrisch Instrument, 

 allein mit der Messruhte vnd etlichen Staben (welche ein Landmesser des absteckens halben nit 

 wol entrahten kan) zur noht, vielerley weite, breite, lange, hohe und tiefFe zu erkundigen, etc. etc. 

 Tractatus III. Beschreibung des Nutzlichen GEOMETRISCHEN TISCHLEINS, von JOHANNE

 3 vols. sm. 4to. in 1, old white vellum (some II. slightly wormed, otherwise a SOUND AND CLEAN 

 COPY) ; RARE, 1. 10* Nurnberg, 16[16-]18 



FIRST EDITION of this important work, which went through several editions, and contains the author's discovery, 

 independently of Cataldi, of continued fractions. 



' Schwenter's praktische Geometrie erfreute sich einer JBeliebheit welche ein Eingehen auf ihren Inhalt empfehleu 

 mfisste, selbst wenn wir nichts von Bedeutung ihr zu entnehmen hatten. . . . In Tractatus I lehrt er die verschieden- 

 artigsten theils genaue, theils nur angenaherte Konstruktionen, wie sie bei Diirer, bei Clavius u. s. w. sich tinden, auch 

 einige neue Verfahrungsmethoden. . . . Im Tractatus III hat er den Messtisch, welchen sein Lehrer erfunden, und zu 

 dessen Gebrauch er wiihrend des Unterrichtes die nothige Anweisung geaeben hatte, ohne eine ausfiihrliche Beschreibung 

 desselben zu veroffentlichen, nachtraglich zur allgemeinen Kenntniss gebracht und dadurch dem allgemeinen Nutzen einen 

 wesentlichen Dienst erwiesen.' Prof. Cantor.

' La these principale du present memoire consiste a prouver, qu'il existe dans la nature deux especes de matiere creee : 

 la matiere ponderable et Tether. L'une et 1'autre ont pour cause fondamentale la force repulsive, formulee par 1'impene- 

 trabilite. La force, relative a la matiere ponderable, agit en raison inverse des cubes des distances ; Tautre est reciproque 

 aux cinquiemes puissances.' Preface. 



The author extensively uses the calculus in his speculations on the constitution of matter.

' We may point out that a vast amount of tedious research may frequently be saved by consulting its pages when 

 investigating matters relating to questions of design, working and organisation. Special attention is also given by the 

 editorial staff to the capital outlay and working costs of existing undertakings . . . ' Science Abstracts ' is not, like many 

 periodicals, of purely ephemeral interest ; its value increases at an increasing rate as time goes on. Already its seven fat 

 volumes form a substantial addition to the library, and constitute a complete record of progress during the correspond- 

 ing years. We can, from personal experience, vouch for its worth, and cordially recommend it to our readers.' Electrical
