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.
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book
may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages,
poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the
original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We
believe this work is culturally important, and despite the
imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of
our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works
worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in
the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.

The works from Daniel Bernoulli's youth contained in this first
volume of his Collected Works bear witness above all of his
versatility; they deal with subjects as different as physiology,
formal logic, mathematical analysis, hydrodynamics and positional
astronomy. Daniel Bernoulli's contacts with Italian scientists gave
rise to several controversies. The present volume documents both
sides in each of these debates, which culminated with the
publication of Bernoulli's first book Exercitationes mathe- maticae
in 1724. The discussions with the renowned mathematician Jacopo
Riccati on second-order differential equations and on the Newtonian
theory of the out-flow of fluids from vessels deserve particular
interest. A third group of texts goes back to the time Bernoulli
spent at the newly- founded Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg,
where he had been appointed in 1725. There he worked out two more
contributions to physiological research - on muscle movement and on
the blind spot in the human eye - as well as his only paper in
positional astronomy. This last work - suggested by a prize
question of the Paris Academie des Sciences - became the occasion
for a vehement conflict; the present volume documents these
"Zankereien" (squabbles) and also reproduces three competing
treatises. To complete the documentation of Daniel Bernoulli's work
on physiology, the volume also includes his academic ceremonial
speech De Vita of 1737, where he sketches for the first time the
circulation of the work done by the human heart, and its
elaboration by Bernoulli's student Daniel Passavant.
Den Inhalt des vorliegenden Bandes bilden neun Arbeiten zur
allgemeinen Mechanik und zwei langere Preisschriften, die eine uber
die Struktur des Pla netensystems, die andere, eines der Hauptwerke
Daniel Bernoullis, uber die Gezeiten. Uber unsere
Editionsgrundsatze wurde schon im Vorwort zu Band 2 dieser Reihe
das Notige gesagt. Speziell haben wir uns zum Ziel gesetzt, die
Originaltexte ohne Beeintrachtigung der wissenschaftlichen Aussage
in eine moderne Satzform zu ubertragen, um sie den Mathematikern,
Naturwissen schaftern und Historikern in einer dem Original
adaquaten Weise zuganglich zu machen. Auch in dieser Form bleiben
Bernoullis Schriften eine schwierige Lek ture. Gerade die fruhen
Arbeiten sind knapp und verschachtelt geschrieben, unter Einfugung
der Formeln in den laufenden Text. Die Gestaltung von Text und
Kommentar erforderte wiederum eine eingehende Zusammenarbeit
zwischen Frau P. Radelet (Louvain-Ia-Neuve) und den
Verlagsmitarbeitern. Ein besonderes Wort mag die Verwendung
verschiedener Sprachen in nerhalb desselben Bandes begrunden: Die
Bernoulliwerke werden in interna tionaler Zusammenarbeit von
Wissenschaftern aus verschiedenen Landern, unter dem Patronat der
Naturforschenden Gesellschaft in Basel, herausgege ben. Diese fur
ein derart grosses Unternehmen heute einzig mogliche Arbeits weise
bringt es mit sich, dass manche Bande Beitrage in verschiedenen
Spra chen enthalten werden, da jedem Mitarbeiter die Wahl unter
Englisch, Deutsch und Franzosisch freigestellt ist. Hingegen wird
in allen Banden der Rahmen, d. h. Titel, Inhaltsverzeichnis,
Vorwort und die Register am Schluss des Bandes, einheitlich in
Deutsch, der Sprache der Naturforschenden Gesell schaft in Basel,
verfasst."
