MATHEMATICS & TECHNICS
265 Algorithmus demonstratus. (Ed. by J oh. Schonerus). Norimbergae, Jo.
Petrelus, 1534- 4t0« 32 11. With nice, ornamental woodcut title border. Swd.
Frs. 75.—

Probably the first edition of an anonymous writing on the BAlgorithmus’’, with notes of
Schfiner. The authorship goes back at least to the 14th cent. It Is a late variation of the Boethian
works and purely theoretical.

que de MV1. de Montgolfier, et de celles auxquelles cette d^couverte a donn6
lieu; suivie des recherches sur la hauteur a laquelle est parvenu le Ballon du
Champ-de-Mars; sa route, les diff^rens degras de pesanteur de Fair dans les
couches de 1’atmosphere; dun memoire sur le gaz inflammable et sur celui
qu’ont employe Montgolfier, i’art de faire les Machines a&rostatiques . . . d’une
lettre sur les moyens de diriger ces machines etc. etc. Paris et Bruxelles chez B.
Le Francq, 1784- 8V0. With front, by de Launay of the ascent of the Montgolfier
and 9 copperplates illustrating the balloon, its fittings, machinery etc. Old half
