Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 9 January 1632, at the inauguration of the Amsterdam Illustrious School - the predecessor of the city's university - Caspar Barlaeus delivered a speech that has continued to arouse the curiosity of researchers and the general public alike: *Mercator sapiens*. This famous oration on the wise merchant is now considered a key text of the Dutch Golden Age. At the same time it is surrounded by misunderstandings regarding Barlaeus himself, the nascent Illustrious School and Amsterdam's merchant culture. This volume presents the first English translation and the first critical edition of the *Mercator sapiens*, preceded by an introduction providing historical context and a fresh interpretation of this intriguing text.

This book was released on 1855 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . 1860 edition.: ...pro ipso aequipollens (ut volunt) pondus C ut 1 celeritate ut 2, quod ascendat usque ad C seu ad altitudinem 4 pedum. Itaque solo descensu ponderis A duarum librarum ex altitudine unius pedis 2AH, substitutoque aequipollente, effecimus ascensum librae unius ad pedes quatuor, quod est duplum prioris. Ergo tantundem virium lucrati sumus, seu motum mechanicum perpetuum effecimus, quod utique absurdum est. Nec refert, an per motuum leges actu efficere possimus hanc substitutionem; nam inter aequipollentia etiam mente tuto fieri substitutio potest. Quamquam etiam varias rationes excogitaverimus, quibus actu tam propo quam velis efficeretur, ut vis tota corporis A transferretur in corpus C, antea quiescens, sed quod nunc (ipso A ad quietem redacto) sit solum in motu positum. Unde fieret, ut pro pondere bilibri celeritatis ut 1 successura esset libra una celeritatis ut 2, si haec aequipollerent; unde absurdum oriri ostendimus. Neque ista sane inania sunt, aut in logomachiis consistunt, sed in machinis et motibus comparandis maxiinum usum habent. Nam si quis vim habeat ab aqua vel animalibns vel alia causa, per quam corpus grave centum librarum in motu constanti conservetur, quo intra minuti temporis quartam partem absolvere possit circulum horizontalem diametri triginta pedum; alius vero ejus loco eodem tempore duplum pondus nonnisi dimidium circulum constanter absoivere praestet, minore impensa, idque tibi velut in lucrum imputet; deceptum te ac dimidia virium parte frustratum scito. Sed nunc fugatis erroribus, veras et saue admirandas Naturae leges paulo distinctius in Schediasmatis hujus parte secunda proponemus.

Download or read book Philosophical Experiments and Observations written by Robert Hooke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after Hooke died in 1703, his miscellaneous papers and unpublished manuscripts were entrusted to Richard Waller, who edited and published some of them in a volume titled The Posthumous Works of Robert Hooke (1705; reprinted, Frank Cass, 1968). Waller himself died, however, before he was able to complete the task of republishing Hooke’s papers and they were eventually handed on to William Derham. After delaying for what some of Hooke’s followers thought to be a scandalously long time, Derham finally published this volume in 1726. It contains numerous papers and notes by Hooke as well as a number of important papers and letters written by Hooke’s contemporaries and found, evidently, among Hooke’s literary remains. This is an exact facsimile reproduction of Derham’s edition of the Philosophical experiments and Observations of the late Eminent Dr. Rober Hooke (1726) except that an analytical table of contents, prepared by the General Editor, has been added. First Published in 1967. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
