Rare first edition of this doctoral dissertation on the solution of Hilbert’s sixth problem, written under the supervision of David Hilbert. The problem posed tried to axiomatize those branches of science in which mathematics is prevalent. Broggi here aims to establish a system with which to prove the consistency, completeness and the mutual independence of the axioms, following the model of Hilbert’s geometry.

Broggi (1880-1865) is one of the neglected figures in modern mathematical economics, an eminent academician, he held office in various seats at different institutions, producing numerous works.

FISHER, George.

The instructor: or, young man’s best companion … to which is added the family’s best companion.

Second edition (the first appeared in 1727). ‘Volumes entitled “The Young Man’s companion” exist in many versions and go back to the 1680s when William Mather produced the first of them. They are compendiums of useful information, intended for self-improvement. They concentrate on English, Mathematics, including mensuration for elementary building and carpentry, and geography. There is much miscellaneous information.’ (David Barton and Nigel Hall (eds), Letter writing as a social practice, 2000, pp. 51-2).
