Scientia navalis seu tractatus de construendis ac dirigendis navibus. St Petersburg: Academiae Scientiarum, 1749.
First edition of Euler’s highly original and important contribution to fluid mechanics and shipbuilding. ‘With this work Euler made a major contribution to the study of fluid mechanics. In the first volume he presents a general theory of equilibrium of floating bodies with an original theory of stability and small oscillations in the neighbourhood of the equilibrium position. The second volume applies the general theory to ship design, and deals with ships in general, stability and equilibrium, the motion of ships, and the wind; as well, it treats of such parts as masts, sails, oars, and rudder’ (Roberts & Trent). Roberts and Trent, Bibliotheca Mechanica, p.105.
2 volumes, quarto (251 x 196mm). 65 folding engraved plates (occasional browning, a few rust spots and associated small hole on 2I1 in vol.I). Early 19th-century half morocco over marbled boards, spine lettered and ruled in gilt, shelf-labels at foot of spines (very lightly rubbed).
