Lyon, Bruyset ainé & Compagnie, L'an IIIe (1795). 8vo. Bound undcut in 2 cont. boards with title-and tomelabels in leather on backs, gilt. Some scratches along edges and on backs. XVI,704;(4),668 pp. Some quires somewhat browned (variation in paperquality) and some scattered brownspots.

Scarce second French edition of Euler's large textbook, first published as "Vollständige Anleitung zur Algebra" 1774 and published in many languages. It is translated by his friend Bernoulli with his "elaborate tractions" and with Bernoulli's extensive "Additions". The work greatly influenced nineteenth-and twentieth-century texts on the subject, and it is one of the earliest attempts to put the fundamental processes on a sound basis.
