Paper, 'Specimina quaedam illustria doctrinae fluxionum sive exempla quibus methodi istius usus et praestantia in solvendis problematis geometricis elucidatur ex epistola peritissimi mathematici' [Some illustrious examples of fluxions or examples by which the use and excellence of this method of solving geometrical problems is elucidated, from a letter from the most experienced mathematician] by D Abr [Abraham] de Moivre Paper on quadratures, surface dimensions, and the rectification of curves. The diagrams and equations on the final page appear not to be related to those in Moivre's paper on fluxions, which makes up the rest of the manuscript. Subject: Mathematics Published in Philosophical Transactions as 'Specimina quædam illustria doctrinæ fluxionum sive exempla quibus methodi istius usus & præstantia in solvendis problematis geometricis elucidatur, ex epistola peritissimi mathematici D.
