Translated from the French by Henry Hunter, D.D. With original ... terms. In two volumes. ... Volume 1 of 2 Review: This thing is a mess. - This thing is a mess. It's obviously a photo-reproduction of a very old translation of Euler's writing - most of the "s" 's look like "f" 's. So "sufficient" reads "fufficient", etc. That's bad enough, but the pagination is frequently messed up and the pages are frequently repeated or out of order. Just opening this book at random twice, I find pages in the "Preface" numbered xii, xiii, xii (12, 13, 12) and pages in the body of the book numbered 188, 189, 188. Also, the last word of every page is set off on its own line and then repeated at the top of the next page. This is all disconcerting and confusing to try to read. One can find this poor quality reproduction of this same material on the internet for free. I know Euler didn't write in English, and I was willing to pay to have an English translation that was legible and arranged in order. This isn't it.
