Edwards' book on the Riemann zeta function, paragraph 12.2. He references Franel, but proves the equivalence in question by other means.

May 4, 2010 at 13:00 comment added Gerry Myerson So then all you want is a citation for Franel's paper? I'll write that in an answer, then.
May 4, 2010 at 10:34 comment added Scott Guthery It is this equivalence that Franel uses in connecting Farey and Riemann.

May 4, 2010 at 0:35 comment added Gerry Myerson The only Franel-Riemann connection I've been able to find concerns Farey series. How have you come to believe that Franel did what you say he did?
May 3, 2010 at 22:14 comment added Wadim Zudilin The computation is discussed in G. P\'olya and G.~Szeg\"o, Problems and theorems in analysis, Vol.~II, Grundlehren Math. Wiss. 216, Springer-Verlag, Berlin et al. (1976), Division 8, Chapter 1, Sections 5--7.
May 3, 2010 at 21:57 comment added Mark Lewko To compute $c(n)$ use the identities $1/zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \mu(n)/n^{s}$ (this follows from Mobius inversion) and $\zeta(s+1) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 1/n^{s+1}$, which hold in an appropriate half-plane.
May 3, 2010 at 21:49 comment added muad This is not the same series as you have mentioned but it may be useful none-the-less. Warren D. Smith, "Cruel and unusual behavior of the Riemann zeta function" secamlocal.ex.ac.uk/people/staff/mrwatkin/zeta/cruel.ps
