This second volume on technology is mainly devoted to three
prize-winning memoirs, answering questions related to ship-building
which were proposed by the French Academie Royale des Sciences in
the years 1737, 1755, and 1757. The volume hosts two further items:
a popularizing text on astronomy from 1723, and the theory of the
spiral pump, a technical item from 1772. In the introductory part
of the volume every memoir is analysed and extensively summarized,
so the reader should obtain a clear view of the content in modern
terms.
