Description
Paris: Firmin Didot, 1827. First Edition. Contemporary binder's cloth.. A very good copy; original spine laid down; untrimmed; unopened.. 8vo, title, [372] pp. Printed on yellow paper. Callet's logarithmic tables were generally regarded as being the most accurate ever produced to that date. This volume was printed for Babbage as an accompaniment to the first editon of his own issue of logarithmic tables in 1827. Henderson points out that this volume of Callet was printed by Didot on the special yellow buff paper to match the Babbage issue. Van Sinderen points out that Babbage wanted to produce a set of tables without error and that Callet was one of Babbage's original and acknowledged sources. The set of tables offered here, providing trigonometrical functions, was taken en bloc from Callet by Babbage who was a connoisseur and collector of printed mathematical tables and a fastidious analyst of tabular errors. It could be purchased separately when issued. A superb artifact of the history of computing and printing. Henderson, p. 98; not in Van Sindern (see #33); M. Campbell-Kelly. Charles Babbage's table of logarithms (1827), University of Warwick. Department of Computer Science, 1987

Old folds, else near fine. Worth, Thomas. The caption: "Mr. Johnson, leaving his office for his country home loaded as usual, meets a French Dressmaker" [who says] "Ah Monsieur Johnson--I catch you just in time, here are three new dresses for Madame, you will carry them very careful and not muss them.". 1 vols. 13-3/4 x 11 inches. Thomas Worth (1834- 1917), "Uncle Tommy" as he was known to all his acquaintances and friends, sold his first comic sketch to Nathaniel Currier in 1855; he was to become one of the most popular of Currier & Ives's artists. He specialized in comic and caricature work--one of his "Darktown Comics" lithographs sold 73,000 copies--but also did racing and sporting scenes, as well as other subjects. In addition, he illustrated Dickens's Old Curiosity Shop, and contributed to "Judge" and other periodicals. He was a careful craftsman, often revising his work until he had achieved the best possible effect, and was noted for his enormous personal charm. Peters, Currier & Ives, I, p. 70 et seq
