The Frenchman was as well a good clergyman as a good scientist and played an important role in the history of physics by placing critical notes at the ideas of Descartes, Newton and Huygens. He followed the last 2 closely and even stood in personal contact with Huygens and later also with Newton. The four works compiled in this book, were all separately published before in France, Discours du mouvement locale in 1670, Elemens de geometrie in 1671, Deux machines propres and La statique both in 1673. And the four works in this book are third or fourth editions. All four have their own title-pages, on the last three of which is mentioned that they are third editions. The pagination of the last 3 works is continuing. Preceding the first work is a stock-catalogue of the books sold by Adrian Moetjens on f. 5-6. Good copy.- (Small tear in margin page 213/214).
