Erstausgabe
First edition of the first of Fourier's demographic surveys of Paris, giving the most detailed to date account up to that point of the Parisian population. Fourier was appointed director of the Bureau of Statistics of the department of the Seine by his former pupil Chabrol de Volvic, the prefect of the department. His demographic surveys of Paris and its environs, published in a regular series, showed how the population was structured by age and mortality rates among these ages. The tables include details on meteorology, population movements, public assistance, deaths, agriculture, the fine arts, industry, and commerce. Einaudi 1961; Kress 3488; Westergaard, Contributions to the History of Statistics, pp. 113-6. Octavo (199 x 124 mm). Contemporary black straight-grain sheep by P. Purgold (stamped in gilt to spine), smooth spine gilt in compartments, gilt rule border to covers, gilt turn-ins, marbled endpapers, gilt edges. With 63 statistical tables on 38 folding plates. Very minor bumping, very light foxing at beginning and end, short closed tear at head of pp. ix/x (not into text), else a fresh clean copy.

Cloth. Zustand: Good. None (illustrator). A scarce collection of four volumes of Recherchés Statistiques sur la Ville de Paris et le Département de la Seine. Recueil de Tableaux Dressés et Réunis d'après les Ordres de Monsieur le Comte de Chabrol, Conseiller d'État, Préfet du Département. Consisting of numerous tables of statistics including some that fold-out fifty-nine tables to volume one; one hundred and four tables to volume two; one hundred and thirty-two tables to volume three and one hundred and forty-five tables to volume four. With reports and memoirs to rear of three volumes. Twelfth edition. In French. Statistical research on the City of Paris and the Department of the Seine. Compendium of of tables together and prepared according to the orders of the Count de Chabrol, State Councilor, Prefect of the Department. Comte Gilbert Joseph Gaspard de Chabrol de Volvic (1773 - 1843) was a French official. Graduating from an École Polytechnique in 1794, he was named prefect of the Seine (and thus Prefect of Paris) by Napoleon in 1812, an office he held until 1833. He is to be credited with paving several of Paris's streets and boulevards, the creation of pavements, and the gradual conversion of city lighting to gaslight. He also created and financed the École d'Architecture et de Sculpture de Volvic. This work is attributed to Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768 - 1830) a French mathematician and physicist best known for initiating the investigation of Fourier series and their applications to problems of heat transfer and vibrations. The Fourier transform and Fourier's Law are also named in his honour. Fourier is also generally credited with the discovery of the greenhouse effect.

Couverture rigide. Zustand: Bon. pagination multiple , 1819-1831, in-4, pagination multiple, demi-chagrin brun, dos à faux nerfs [H. Durand], Fourier fut l'un des savants qui participa à la reconstitution de l'Académie des Sciences en 1817 ; il en devint le secrétaire perpétuel en 1822. Il publia plusieurs travaux au sein des Mémoires de l'Académie, dont ceux ici présentés, notamment le rapport de la commission dont Fourier faisait partie, avec Lacroix et Poisson, au sujet des tontines : ce travail suscita un grand intérêt à l'époque où il parut et il fut perçu comme oeuvre de bien public. En effet, Fourier y dénonçait ces groupe d'épargnants percevant des intérêts viagers lors du décès de l'un des associés ; d'une part, concluait-il, ce système implique la part funeste du hasard en lieu et place de ce qui devrait être le fruit du travail, d'autre part il encourage la jouissance personnelle et le retrait de la société.

Paris, Firmin Didot Frères, (1830) 1831. 4to. Contemp. hcalf. Richly gilt spine. A paperlabel pasted on top of spine. (4),XXIV,258 pp. and 1 folded engraved plate. A few minor brownspots. A fine, wide-margined copy. Scarce first edition (with the reprinted titlepage 1831 instead of 1830).Fourier's "Analyse des equations determines" constitutes a highly important work on the theory of equations, a work which occupied Fourier throughout his life and the last thing that he wrote. The work contains numerous theories that had not previously been published, e.g. his method of solution and applications of linear qualities, due to which he actually anticipated linear programming.The work was of great importance to Fourier himself, who had attempted to publish some of his important results on the subject as early as 1789 and who later ended up in a priority-dispute due to the much delayed publication of one of these results (the Fourier-Budan theorem). His final opus constitutes his final preparation of the Fourier-theorem as well as many other important theories and results connected to his theory of equations, and it thus presents us with his final views on this important science. "[H]e had almost finished only the first two of its seven "livres". His friend Navier edited it for publication in 1831, inserting an introduction to establish from attested documents (including the delayed 1789 paper) Fourier's priority on results which had by then become famous. Perhaps Fourier was aware that he would not live to finish the work, for he wrote a synopsis of the complete book which also appeared in this edition.

Fourier's remarkable understanding of the last subject makes him the great anticipator of linear programming." (D.S.B., V:98). - Honeyman IV:1361.

Erstausgabe
First editions of two of Fourier's landmark papers on terrestrial temperatures, in which he describes the heating of the Earth's atmosphere by three sources: solar radiation, the Earth's internal heat, and the temperature of space. The papers, published in the October and November 1824 issues of the Annales de Chimie et de Physique respectively, mark a key turning point in our understanding of the greenhouse effect. Fourier is often credited as the first to allude to the greenhouse effect and the first to suggest that human activity can modify climate. G. E. Christianson went so far as to say that Fourier "originated the idea of global warming" (p. 1), and bibliographers frequently describe "Remarques générales sur les températures du globe terrestre et des espaces planétaires" as the first paper to qualitatively describe the greenhouse effect. Climate change historian James Rodger Fleming advocates more caution, noting that Fourier's ideas on radiant heat in the atmosphere formed "a hypothesis, not an analytical theory" (p. 62). "Most people writing on the history of the greenhouse effect merely cite in passing Fourier's descriptive memoir of 1827 as the 'first' to compare the heating of the Earth's atmosphere to the action of glass in a greenhouse. [but] Fourier's paper, usually cited as 1827, was actually read to the Académie Royale des Sciences in 1824, published that same year in the Annales de Chimie et de Physique, and translated into English in the American Journal of Science in 1837" (Fleming, pp. 55-6). G. E. Christianson, Greenhouse: the 200-year Story of Global Warming, 1999; James Rodger Fleming, Historical Perspectives on Climate Change, 1998. Octavo (190 x 120 mm). Contemporary green pebble-grain quarter cloth, smooth spine lettered in gilt and ruled in blind, green marbled boards. Engraved plate of figures bound facing p. 400, numerous tables (several of which full-page) and diagrams in text. Bookseller's ticket on rear pastedown (G. E. Stechert & Co.

Light wear at extremities and bruising at spine ends, binding presenting neatly; endpapers evenly browned, contents generally clean with occasional spotting, first and last leaves and plate foxed, fragility of thin paper stock resulting in small chip at upper edge of half-title and two closed tears to 21.8 and 25.8 (not affecting legibility of the text, the latter repaired with tissue), a few leaves shaved close along upper margin but never impinging on text.

Edition originale de la première, et seule partie parue, de l'ultime oeuvre mathématiques de Fourier publiée posthume par son ami Navier. "In constrast with the famous work on heat diffusion, Fourier's interest in the theory of equations is remarkably little know. Yet it has a much longer personal history, for it began in his sixteenth year when he discovered a new proof of Descarte's rule of sign and was just as much in progress at the time of his death [.]. Fourier's proof was based on multiplying f(x) by (x + p), thus creating a new polynomial which contained one more sign in its sequence and one more positive (or negative) root, according as p was less (or greater) than zero, and showing that the number of preservations (or variations) in the new sequence was not inscreased relative to the old sequence. Hence the number of variations (or preservations) is increased by at least one, and the theorem follows. The details of the proof may be seen in any textbook dealing with the rule, for Fourier's youthful achievement quickly became the standard proof, even if its authorship appears to be viertually unknown[.]". "Fourier appears to have proved his own theorem while in his teens and he sent a paper to the Academy in 1789. However, it disappeared in the thrumoil of the year in Paris, and the pressure of administrative and other scientific work delayed publication of the resultats untiel the late 1810's. Then he became involved in a priority row with Ferdinand Budan de Bois-Laurent, a part-time mathematician who had previously published similar but inferior result. At the time of his death, Fourier was trying to prepare thse and many other result for a book to be called Analyse des équations déterminées ; he had almost finished only the first two of its seven "livres". His friend Navier edited it for publication in 1831 [sic], inserting an introduction to establish from attested documents (including the delayed 1789 paper) Fourier's priority on results which had by then become famous. Perhaps Fourier was aware that he would not live to finish the work, for he wrote a synopsis of the complete book which also appeared in this edition. The synopsis indicated his wide interests in the subject, of which the most important not yet mentioned were various means of distinguishing between real and imaginary roots, refinements of the Newton-Raphson method of approximating to the root of an equation, extensions to Daniel Bernoulli's rule for the limiting value of the ratio of successive terms of a recurrent series, and the method of solution and applications of linear inequalities. Fourier's remarkable understanding of the last subject makes him the great anticipator of linear programming." On trouve à la suite, deux extraits d'articles de Fourier tirés des Mémoires de l'Académie des Sciences portant sur le sujet de la théorie des équations : -Sur la distinction des racines imaginaires, et sur l'application des théorèmes d'analyse algébrique aux équations transcendantes qui dépendent de la théorie de la chaleur (Mémoires de l'Académie royale des sciences de l'Institut de France, tome VII, Paris, Didot, 1827, pages 605 à 624) ; -Remarques générales sur l'application des principes de l'analyse algébrique (lues à l'Académie des Sciences le 9 mars 1829 et publiées dans les Mémoires de l'Académie Royale des Sciences de l'Institut de France, tome X, Paris, Didot, 1831 ; pages 119 à 146).

Fourier showed that heat diffusion was subject to simple observable physical constants that could be expressed mathematically. While Galileo and Newton had revolutionized the study of nature by discerning mathematical laws in the movement of solids and fluids, this approach had not been satisfactorily applied to the study of heat before Fourier. His work had major repercussions for the development of both physics and pure mathematics: first, he extended the range of rational mechanics beyond the fields defined in Newton's Principia, establishing an essential branch of modern physics. Secondly, his invention of unprecedentedly powerful mathematical tools for the solution of equations "raised problems in mathematical analysis that motivated much of the leading work in that field for the rest of the century and beyond" (DSB). "Fourier's most celebrated work in which he succeeded in putting the science of heat on an analytical or mathematical basis" (Honeyman). "Fourier's application of new methods of mathematical analysis to the study of heat extended rational mechanics to fields outside of those defined in Newton's Principia, enabling the systematization of a wide range of phenomena. To further his study of heat, Fourier introduced the Fourier series and Fourier integrals." (Norman). "Fourier's methods find their widest application to problems of vibration such as in heat, sound and in fluid motion" (Dibner).- Visit our website to see more images!.
Paris, Firmin-Didot, 1822. 4to. Contemporary half calf with gilt spine. Old paper label to top of spine. Two old stamps to foot of title-page and old inscription to top of title-page. Half-title browned, otherwise just a bit of mild scattered brownspotting. A mild damp stain to lower blank margin of ab. 20 leaves, far from affecting text. A nice copy. Plates with light brownspotting. (4), XII, 639 pp. + 2 plates. First edition of Fourier's seminal main work, an epochal achievement in the history of science, being "the first outstanding publication on the conduction of heat" (Milestones of Science) and the "source of all modern methods in mathematical physics involving the integration of partial differential equations in problems where boundary values are fixed." (Cajori). "Fourier demonstrated that problems in mathematical physics can be solved for any complex condition when one knows how to solve the simple periodic initial condition." (Milestones of Science). The great achievements that Fourier presents us with in the present work can be seen as twofold, treating first the formulation of the physical problem as boundary-value problems in linear partial differential equations, which extended rational mechanics to fields outside those Newton had defined in his "Principia", and second "the powerful mathematical toold he invented for the solution of the equations, which yielded a long series of descendants and raised problems in mathematical analysis that motivated much of the leading work in that field for the rest of the century and beyond."

Buch Erstausgabe
Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition. 4to. pp. vii, ccxviii, 628; 5 folding plates relating to other articles in this volume; occasional spotting or browning, else very good in the original printed wrappers, which are a little frayed to extremities. Fourier's 'éloge' or eulogy for Lagrange comes at the close of his overview of the mathematical work of the Académie. This volume also includes Fourier's article 'Remarques générales sur l'application des principes de l'Analyse algébrique aux équations transcendantes', Siméon Denis Poisson's 'Mémoire sur le mouvemente de deux fluides élastiques superposés' and Augustin-Louis Cauchy's 'Mémoire sur la théorie de la lumière'.
(Paris, Crochard, 1824). Without wrappers. In: "Annales de Chimie et de Physique, Par MM. Gay-Lussac et Arago.", tome 27, Cahier 3. Pp. 225-336. (Entire issue offered). Fourier's paper: pp. 236-281. First printing of this importent paper dealing with the "Green-House-Effect". It is the second paper from 1824 in which Fourier investigates the connection between the temperature of the earth and radiation. Fourier's analysis in these two papers is widely recognized as the first proposal of what is now known as the greenhouse effect theory.In the 1820s Fourier calculated that an object the size of the Earth and at its distance from the Sun should be considerably colder than the planet actually is if warmed only by the effects of incoming solar radiation. He examined various possible sources of the additional observed heat in articles published in 1824 (the paper offered is the second of the papers published 1824) and 1827. While he ultimately suggested that interstellar radiation might be responsible for a large portion of the additional warmth, Fourier's consideration of the possibility that the Earth's atmosphere might act as an insulator of some kind is widely recognized as the first proposal of what is now known as the greenhouse effect theory.
(Paris, Crochard, 1823). 8vo. Without wrappers as extracted from: "Annales de Chimie et de Physique, Par MM. Gay-Lussac et Arago.", Vol. 22, pp. 375-389. First appearance of this paper, revealing the results of experiments with the galvanic elements, using pairs of small antimony and bismuth bars welded in series, which Oersted performed together with Fourier during his visit to Paris. This constitutes the invention of the first thermo-electrical pile. Oersted and Fourier had found that heat had a significant effect upon the performance of the galvanic element. - "Seebeck seems to have had another theory about this. However, I have experimented with the matter, and found the conjecture correct. I believe that this discovery will be of far-reaching consequence. The laws for this new effects are, I suppose, in reality the same as for the galvanic battery" yet this looks so different that I have been obliged to spend a great deal of my time during the last fortnight in discovering and defining them.". In a letter of somewhat later date to prince Christian, he states that he has made the experiments "in conjunction with Fourier, the secretary of the mathematical department of the Institute". Oersted, when reading this paper to the Academy on 31st of March 1823, proposed the name "thermo-electric" for these currents, a name which has since been adopted everywhere.
