LOBACHEVSKY, Nikolai Ivanovich (1792-1856). "Mekhanika" ["Mechanics"] in Scientific Notes of the Imperial Moscow University, volume VIII, pp. 169-190, bound with volumes VII and IX, Moscow: 1835.
3 volumes in one, 8°, 3 folding engraved plates, contemporary Russian half calf (spine quite rubbed, corners bumped).
Although Lobachevsky's (1792-1856) most important work concerned non-Euclidean geometry, this is one of a number of early papers on non-geometrical subjects, applying algebra to the solution of problems in mechanics.
