Bologna: Heirs of Antonio Pisari, 1697. First Edition. Cloth. Fine. 4to (230 × 165 mm), pp. [10], 375, [1, errata and approbation]; engraved frontispiece, ink inscription at base of frontispiece excised; 15 folding engraved plates; some ink inscriptions to margins in an early hand; uncut; fine in modern calico-texture cloth. First edition of Guglielmini's account of his experimental studies of rivers.Domenico Guglielmini (1655-1710) was a native of Bologna. He studied mathematics and medicine at the university, where he went on to teach mathematics from 1690. He was simultaneously appointed Superintendent of Water for the city, and made detailed studies of hydraulics, which led to the writing and publication of the present work, his most important. The year after its publication he was appointed professor of mathematics at Padua and left off the study of hydraulics definitively when later appointed to the chair of medicine.'Guglielmini's major work and one of the most important hydraulic works of its time, "The Nature of Rivers" numbers among works by Castelli and Barattieri. Gamba has praised this work not only for its classical hydraulics, but for the clarity of Guglielmini's verbal and mathematical expression.'His approach to hydraulics was through extensive field observation, and his concepts "were essential links in the ever-strengthening chain of flow principles …" He was the first to indicate the existence of resistance laws, though he was unable to express it quantitatively. - Rouse & Ince, History of Hydraulics, pp. 69-70.'The book discusses the nature of rivers and their parts, the motion of water, confluents and estuaries, banks, and materials and application. The historic preface quotes Galileo, Torricelli, Castelli, Mariotte, Viviani, Varignon, Newton, Johann Bernoulli, Poleni, and Grandi.' (Bibliotheca Mechanica, pp. 151-152)Bibliotheca Mechanica, pp. 151-152; Brunet II, 1802; Gamba, 1940; Graesse III, 177; Piantanida 1659; Riccardi I, 643; Roller I, 492; Wellcome III, 177.

Description:
Baltimore, MD: The Association for Computing Machinery, 1965. Quarto. Original cream wrappers printed in black. Remnants of a mailing label to the upper wrapper. Just a little rubbed and creased. Excellent condition. First publication of the resolution principle, the standard of logical deduction in AI applications. The basic computational method in logic programming, the unification algorithm, was proposed by mathematician Jacques Herbrand in 1930, but its first practical use was not discovered until Robinson introduced it in this paper as the basic operation of his resolution principle. "Robinson described his resolution principle as 'machine-oriented' in that it was particularly suitable for proofs to be performed by computer, having only one rule of inference that could be applied many times. Robinson's resolution has since been used as the standard of logical deduction in AI applications" (Hook & Norman, Origins of Cyberspace 865).
