Dibdin II 385; Mackenzie "The Cambridge University Press 1696-1712" I 273-76. ◆Front joint with thin crack at head and tail covers with darkish splotches obvious but somehow not overly offending with antique morocco like this other very minor signs of use but the binding still extremely pleasing as a grand specimen for an important dedicatee. A MOST ATTRACTIVE COPY INTERNALLY especially clean and fresh with only negligible imperfections. This is the stately dedication copy of Wasse's monumental edition of Sallust in its original handsome unrestored binding. Described by Dibdin as "an excellent edition . . . the merits of which have long been acknowledged by the literary world" our version was prepared by Wasse after consulting nearly 80 manuscripts including "some very ancient editions." A huge undertaking it spent five years in the press. Oxford Antiquary Thomas Hearne mentioned it in his "Remarks" amazed that "Mr. Wasse . . . has so swell'd his Salust sic . . . with Notes" that "his Index will be upwards of 20 sheets"; in fact the Index consumes 84 leaves 21 quires. The text of the present volume contains the only two extant historical works of Sallust 86-34 B.C. which are his history of the conspiracy of Catiline against the senate in the year Cicero was consul and his history of the Roman war against the Numidian Algerian chieftain Jugurtha brought to its conclusion by the great soldier and populist politician Marius. As a stylist Sallust has enjoyed great fame for his artistic and epigrammatic speeches with their vividly delineated characters. A fellow of Queen's College Cambridge Joseph Wasse 1672-1738 served as chaplain to the Marquess later Duke of Kent Henry Grey 1671-1740 to whom he dedicated this work. The handsome binding is of very high quality and is decorated in the Cambridge style by an unknown binder of that city. Grey was a courtier who held a number of prominent positions: under Queen Anne he served as Lord Chamberlain of the Household and Knight of the Garter and as one of the Lords Justices Regents of the Realm upon her death; under George I he was Lord of the Bedchamber Lord Steward of the Household and Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal. Our volume was passed down in his family through the line of his granddaughter Jemima Campbell Marchioness Grey to Thomas Philip de Grey 2nd Earl de Grey 1781-1859 an amateur architect who rebuilt the family seat Wrest Park in Bedfordshire. He became the first president of the Royal Institute of British Architects. It was later in the 24000-volume library of the politician Robert Crewe-Milnes 1858-1945 Marquess of Crewe.

SAGGI DI NATURALI ESPERIENZE

1714ST20995Naples: Bernardo-Michele Raillard 1714. 343 x 223 mm. 13 1/2 x 8 3/4". 6 p.l. CCLXIX 15 pp. IMPOSING CONTEMPORARY BROWN MOROCCO EXUBERANTLY GILT covers with painted and gilt frames of floral rolls central panel with elaborate volute cornerpieces large central lozenge formed by myriad leafy gilt vines enclosing a coat of arms containing a three-turreted castle topped by a crown held up by two putti raised bands spine compartments framed by floral roll painted and gilt daisy centerpiece tulip cornerpieces all edges gilt. The Academy's engraved device on title page and 75 ENGRAVED PLATES of scientific instruments and experiments. DSB 9:3; Dibner Herald of Science 82 first edition. Joints with modern wear one short crack at top of rear joint head of spine a bit wormed corners and extremities somewhat rubbed gilt a bit rubbed in spots difficult to tell if some of the decoration is dark because painted or is now missing gilt a couple of leaves slightly browned in the text bed occasional minor foxing more pronounced on a couple of quires other trivial imperfections but an excellent copy--quite clean and fresh internally--in a solid binding still bright with gilt. Given its binding and provenance this is a uniquely desirable copy of a significant scientific work: our stately Neapolitan edition of the "Essays on Natural Experiments" is offered here in very animated morocco bearing the arms of the man who paid for its printing and to whom the book is dedicated. That remarkable patron Caesare Michelangelo d'Avalos Marquis of Pescara and Vasto prince of Isernia and Francavilla 1667-1729 was a true Renaissance man who took Machiavelli's "The Prince" as inspiration. He was both a wily political conspirator and a generous patron of the arts and sciences. His palace at Vasto was renowned for the beauty of its furnishings for its splendid art gallery and for its impressive library overseen by the humanist scholar Alessandro Berti. The present volume was a worthy addition to that library with its glowing dedication and its regal binding extravagantly gilt but so tastefully composed that it never crosses the line into ostentatious. First printed in 1666 "Essays" was produced by the Accademia del Cimento the most significant expression of post-Galilean scientific progress in Italy. Founded in 1657 as the first organization formed for the sole purpose of making scientific experiments the Accademia occupies a singular position in the history of the development of science. Prince Leopold of Tuscany the last exceptional member of the Medici family and his brother Ferdinand who followed the Medici family tradition of patronizing the arts and sciences provided the support free-thinking direction and financial patronage for the Academy. A well-equipped laboratory and an apparently inexhaustible supply of apparatus and materials helped to make the work of the 10 scientists associated with the Academy more sustained and broader in scope than anything that had come before it. W. E. K. Middleton "The Experimenters" According to Thorndike among many other subjects the experiments described here "were concerned with air pressure and freezing; or they aimed to prove that water was incapable of compression and that there was no such thing as lightness or positive levity. Some experiments were magnetic and others electric the latter being chiefly performed with amber. Other subjects investigated were the change of colors in fluids the motion of sound and projectiles." Although no author is given by name the title page of the 1666 first edition indicated that this account was written by the secretary to the academy Lorenzo Magalotti 1637-1712. A pupil of Viviani and a friend of Boyle Magalotti was celebrated for his highly finished colorful almost dramatic descriptions of experiments. DSB notes "He has the distinction . . . of having written the best scientific prose in Italian after that of Galileo.". Bernardo-Michele Raillard unknown
