Extractions: CARNOT, L. H.^CARNOT, L. K. M. dressed and deprived of the longer harsh outer hairs, constitute the " sealskin" of commerce. The species include O. stelleri, the northern sea-lion, the largest of the genus, from the North Pacific; about 10 ft. in length; O. jubata, the southern sea-lion, from the Falkland Islands and Patagonia; O. californiana, from California; O. ursina, the sea-bear or fur-seal of the North Pacific, the skins of which are imported in immense numbers from the Pribiloff Islands; O. antarctica or pustila, from the Cape of Good Hope;! and O-forsteri, from Australia and various islands in the southern hemisphere. (See SEAL-FISHERIES.) Little is known as to the past history of the sea-lions and sea-bears, but a skull has been obtained from the Miocene strata of Oregon, which Mr F. W. True states to be considerably larger than any existing sea-lion skull; its basal length when entire being probably about 20 in. The name Pontoleon magnws has been proposed for this fossil sea-lion, as the character of the skull and teeth do not agree precisely with those of any living member of the group. If, however, all the modern eared seals are included in the genus Otaria, there is apparently no reason to exclude the fossil species. EXTINCT CARNIVORA By means of the Amphicyonidae, as represented by the Middle Tertiary genera Proamphicyon, PseudamphieyGM, and Amphicyon, in which there were three upper molars, we have a transition from the Cynodictis-type to the bear-group; one of the later intermediate forms being the Lower Pliocene Old World Hyaenarctus, in which the two upper molars are squared and foreshadow those of Ursus itself. In some unknown manner Hyaenarctus appears to be related to Aeluropus. An allied type is found in Arctotherium of the South American Pleistocene^

Extractions: The true seals (family Phocidae) are the most completely adapted for aquatic life of all the Pinnipedia. When on land the hind-limbs are extended backwards and take no part in progression, Seals, which is effected by a series of jumping movements produced by the muscles of the trunk, in some species aided by the fore-limbs. The soles of the feet are hairy. There is no pinna to the ear, and no scrotum, the testes being abdominal. The upper incisors have simple, pointed crowns, and vary in number in the different groups. All have well developed canines and I teeth of the cheek series. In those species of which the milk-dentition is known, there are three milk molars, which precede the second, third, and fourth permanent molars; the dentition is therefore p. ~, m. I, the first premolar having as usual no milk predecessor. The skull has no post-orbital process and no alisphenoid canal. The fur is stiff and adpressed, without woolly under-fur. In the typical group, or subfamily Phocinae, the incisors are I. All the feet have five well-developed claws with the toes on the hindfeet subequal, the first and fifth not greatly exceeding the others in length, the interdigital membrane not extending beyond them. In the genus Halichoerus the dentition is i. I~ c. i, p~ ~., m. I; total 34. Molars with large, simple, conical, recurved, slightly compressed crowns, having sharp anterior and posterior edges, but without accessory cusps, except sometimes the two hinder ones of the lower jaw. With the exception of the last one or two in the upper jaw and the last in the lower jaw, all are single-rooted. Vertebrae:

Extractions: From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Monge Carnot Poncelet While Euler, Lagrange, Laplace, and Legendre were perfecting analysis, the members of another group of French mathematicians were extending the range of geometry by methods similar to those previously used by Desargues and Pascal. The revival of the study of synthetic geometry is largely due to Poncelet, but the subject is also associated with the names of Monge and L. Carnot; its great development in more recent times is mainly due to Steiner, von Staudt, and Cremona. Gaspard Monge In 1780 he was appointed to a chair in mathematics in Paris, and this with some provincial appointments which he held gave him a comfortable income. The earliest paper of any special importance which he communicated to the French Academy was one in 1781, in which he discussed the lines of curvature drawn on a surface. These had been first considered by Euler in 1760, and defined as those normal sections whose curvature was a maximum or a minimum. Monge treated them as the locus of those points on the surface at which successive normals intersect, and thus obtained the general differential equation. He applied his results to the central quadrics in 1795. In 1786 he published his well-known work on statics. Monge eagerly embraced the doctrines of the revolution. In 1792 he became minister of the marine, and assisted the committee of public safety in utilizing science for the defence of the republic. When the Terrorists obtained power he was denounced, and escaped the guillotine only by a hasty flight. On his return in 1794 he was made a professor at the short-lived Normal school, where he gave lectures on descriptive geometry; the notes of these were published under the regulation above alluded to. In 1796 he went to Italy on the roving commission which was sent with orders to compel the various Italian towns to offer pictures, sculpture, or other works of art that they might possess, as a present or in lieu of contributions to the French republic for removal to Paris. In 1798 he accepted a mission to Rome, and after executing it joined Napoleon in Egypt. Thence after the naval and military victories of England he escaped to France.

Extractions: Lazare Carnot to submit for a prize in a competition. He revised it in 1781 and it was eventually published in 1783. It deals with mechanics and areas of engineering. The following year he declined an invitation to enter the Prussian service and, in the same year he was promoted to captain. From 1787 he became a member of the Dijon Academy while he was elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1791 and to the National Convention in 1792. He directed the Army of the North after April 1793 becoming in that year a leading member of the Committee of General Defence and a member of the Committee of Public Safety. In 1794, under direction from Carnot and Monge Sadi Carnot was born. The year 1797 was an eventful one for Carnot. In this year he published his famous text The book is introduced with the words:- As however everything indicates that there will be a new turn in the culture of mathematics, the author deems it apposite to publish this monograph.

http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/people/A0810520.html

Extractions: Pronunciation Key , French physicist, a founder of modern thermodynamics; son of Lazare N. M. Carnot. His famous work on the motive power of heat ( 1824) is concerned with the relation between heat and mechanical energy. Carnot devised an ideal engine in which a gas is allowed to expand to do work, absorbing heat in the process, and is expanded again without transfer of heat but with a temperature drop. The gas is then compressed, heat being given off, and finally it is returned to its original condition by another compression, accompanied by a rise in temperature. This series of operations, known as Carnot's cycle, shows that even under ideal conditions a heat engine cannot convert into mechanical energy all the heat energy supplied to it; some of the heat energy must be rejected. This is an illustration of the second law of thermodynamics. Carnot's work anticipated that of Joule, Kelvin, and others.

Extractions: Bennett Gilbert Carnot, Lazare-Nicholas-Marguerite (1753-1823). De la Corrélation des Figures de Géométrie.... Paris, Crapelet for Duprat, IX (1801). First edition of a fundamental work on the meaning of quantity in mathematics. It was Carnot's first great work and is among his most important contribution. It was motivated by his interest in understanding the infinitesimal calculus. He sought to make sense of the notion of "unreasonable quantities" and learning how to manage infinitesimal numbers. He also wanted to reconcile them with the imaginary and negative numbers of algebra. His effort to do this was presented in this work and in its successor, Géometrie de position (1803), and these "constituted his most significant clarification of the procedures of mathematics" (D. S. B.). Octavo: 4 A-M8; (viii), 188pp. Four folding engravings, sign Duruisseau, of geometrical figures. Entirely untrimmed in original purple wrappers (light wear to extremities). Fine.

FIRST EDITION, rare on the market. This work, along with its sequel Géométrie de Position, 1803, were considered in Carnot's own view to constitute 'his most significant clarification of the procedures of mathematics' and together they were instrumental in the renaissance of geometry in 19th-century France. 'The service that geometry might render to analysis lay mainly through the study of the correlation of figures, and that in turn exhibits a certain congruence with his point of view in the mechanics of machine processes. Its subject matter is the comparison of geometric systems in various states that can evolve into each other. The state taken for term of comparison he called the primitive system and any other state a transformed system... The whole topic may be taken as the geometric operation of Carnot's favourite reasoning device - a comparison of systems between which the nexus of change is a continuum' (Charles C. Gillespie in DSB, with a lengthy analysis of this work). This item is listed on Bibliopoly by Bernard Quaritch Ltd.
