Bernoulli's Dissertation de motu musculorum established muscular mechanics as a science and was important in the history of cardiology and circulation. FIRST EDITION OF THE VERY RARE DISSERTATION by Johann Bernoulli the elder (1667-1748), which shows strong influence of Giovanni Borelli. DSB VI, p.598 Beckmann, A History of \Kp\k Willems 746. The same approximation with segments of the parabola, in the case of a hyperbola, yields a quick and simple method to calculate logarithms, a finding he explained before the Academy in 1666-1667" (Beckmann). 'In his De circuli magnitudine inventa he approximated the center of gravity of a segment of a parabola, and thus found an approximation of the quadrature with this he was able to refine the inequalities between the area of the circle and those of the inscribed and circumscribed polygons used in the calculations of \Kp\k p. FIRST EDITION of the Huygens' rare second publication. Courcier, Paris (paper label to front pastedown), Thomas Moreaud (signed armorial bookplate loosely inserted). Contemporary half calf over sprinkled boards, gilt-decorated spine with red morocco label lettered in gilt (rubbing to spine and extremities, corners scuffed), red-dyed edges. 20 unnumbered pages, woodcut diagrams to title-page verso, woodcut tailpiece and historiated initial.
