Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. [VARIGNON, PIERRE (1654-1722)]. Projet d'une nouvelle mechanique. Avec un examen de l'opinion de M. Borelli, sur les propriétez des poids suspendus par des cordes. Paris: la Veuve d'E. Martin, J. Boudot, & E. Martin, 1687. FIRST EDITION. 4 to. Modern vellum over boards. (18), 133, (2, privilege & errata) pp. Engraved vignettes on title, head of first page of Epistle (also with engraved initial), and head of first text page (repeated on p.89), these last derived from Guidobaldo. Thirteen folding engraved plates. Occassional light dampstains, without the first blank leaf; a very good copy. "The author's first published work, and 'the first treatise in which the whole science of statics was deduced from the principle of the parallelogram of forces', which he here enunciates, simultaneously with and independently of Newton." (Sotheran/Zeitlinger, 2nd suppl., no. 6418). Professor of mathematics at the Collége Mazarin, Varignon ".announces the principle of the composition of forces. In discussing Guidobaldo's 'Mechanicorum liber', Varignon grasped two important points: the law of levers did not hold a privileged position in statics and the unification of mechanics was to be carried out on the basis of the composition of forces; and second, the real reason for the equilibrium on the inclined plane was that the resultant of the applied forces is orthogonal to the possible displacement. Varignon also examined Borelli's opinion on the properties of bodies suspended by cords (chapter 13 of volume one of 'De motu animalium') which criticized Stevin's ideas; Varignon settled the issue in Stevin's favor, at the same time admitting Borelli's scientific greatness." (Biblio. mechanica, p.337). 'En Francais dans le texte', no. 123. D.S.B. 13: 584-587. Weil, Cat. 27, no. 203. Honeyman Sale, no. 3031.

First edition. Quarto (24.5 x 18.5cm). 'The first treatise in which the whole science of statics was deducted from the principle of the parallelogram of forces, which he here enunciates simultaneously and independently of Newton.'- Bibliotheca Chemico-Mathematica. 'Athough not to be compared with Newton's Principia which appeared in the same year as Varignon's Projet, their simultaneous publication perhaps brought the latter work a greater success amongst French scientists than it would otherwise have. It brought him nomination in the Academie des Sciences in 1688, as well as the first appointment to the newly created professorship of mathematics at the College Mazarin. The period between the Projet of 1687 and the Nouvelle mechanique witnessed the development of what appeared a century later to be the very foundation of classical mechanics.'- DSB. pp. [20],133,[3]. With the first blank and 14 folding plates. Some toning, mostly to margins and fore-edges & light occasional foxing. A pleasant copy bound in contemporary vellum, with the gilt crest of Office of Ordinance to front board & book label of the Royal Artillery Library dated 1807 to front endpaper. Early ownership inscription to title and notes in French to fep. dated 1710. and some contemporary mechanics doodles to eps. The vellum with usual toning, lighty rubbed, the upper board top corner a little worn. Vg. [Poggendorff II, 1175; Roberts & Trent 337; Bibliotheca Chemico-Mathematica 6418; DSB XIII, 584; Macclesfield 2035; Watt 923i; Ladvocat III, 602].
