174014160Paris: de L’Imprimerie Royale 1740. Complete with errata’s and original blank leaves two of three finely engraved frontispieces chapter vignettes ornamental head and tail pieces and 82 folding plates. Full mottled calf rebacked the corners a bit worn. Interior is lightly toned with some browning on the preliminaries and last leaves. Generally this is an excellent set. First editions of these three volumes from a series published by the Academy of Sciences. It is a summary of the activities and inventions that have been made and contains the most important discoveries of the time. These periodicals which were at the forefront of scientific development during the Enlightenment contain works produced by an elite class of French scientist for the years 1722 1731 and 1740. Each volume provided an overview of advancements in math and science for each year and the writings therein shaped the world’s understanding of physics mathematics astronomy anatomy and other fields of science. They further provide invaluable historical data such as meteorological and astrological records for each year. <br /> <br /> The memoirs for 1722 include data recorded on both a lunar and solar eclipse as well as other astronomical observations by Jacques Cassini 1677-1756 best know for completing his fathers work on determining the meridian of Paris. The distinguished astronomer provided further research on lunar eclipses in the memoirs of 1731 where he is in great company alongside distinguished mathematicians Alexis-Claude Clairaut 1713-1765 Pierre Bouguer 1698-1758 known for his work in physics photometry and hydrography and the foremost proponent of the Newtonian movement in France Pierre de Maupertuis 1698-1759. Of special note in the 1731 memoirs is Maupertuis’s ballistic arithmetic which was used to try to better understand the movement of the earth and its gravity. Too an article by Clairaut on new formulas for finding the center of gravity. These articles contributed greatly to a better understanding of the earth’s shape and the mechanics of its rotation particularly Bouguer’s essay on the tendency of objects set in motion to move in a curvilinear fashion. The 1740 edition contains Cassini De Thury’s De la Maridienne de Paris. which was an important step in the process of mapping the shape of the earth. Cassini 1714-1784 representing the third generation of the distinguished family of astronomers was the first to question <br /> <br /> <br /> Picard’s measurements which had been used to map the Maridian of Paris. Clairaut’s essay on integral calculus in the same volume which established the existence of an integrating factor for linear differential equations was an important step in the history of mathematics and Mairan’s treatise on reflection and refraction of light and the human eye was essential to the advancement of optics. Mairan 1678-1771 would set the foundation for optical theory with this treatise. de L’Imprimerie Royale unknown

1764159337London: Printed by J. Bullock J. Spencer and J. Bullock junr. 1764. Good officers of Artillery and perfect Engineers Presented in a handsome period morocco a pair of notably scarce editions of regulations pertaining to the Royal Military Academy Woolwich; comprising the second recorded edition of the rules for the institution as a whole following that of 1741 together with the seemingly sole edition of the statutes relevant to officer-cadets specifically. We have traced no copy of either on auction records. The Academy - or "The Shop" as it was known colloquially - was established by Royal Warrant in 1741 for the training of "good officers of Artillery and perfect Engineers" its "gentlemen cadets" initially ranging in age between ten and thirty. The curriculum focused on mathematical theory and the scientific principles of gunnery and fortification employed to a practical end. It closed in 1939 and reopened in 1947 as the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. The present regulations were drawn up under the eye of John Manners marquess of Granby 1721-1770 who in 1763 became master-general of the ordnance; another edition was put out in 1776. Quarto 225 x 173 mm. Contemporary red morocco decorative gilt spine sides with gilt border comprising a dog-tooth roll enclosing a broad panel formed of multiple tools including stars and circlets gilt edge roll and turn-ins Nonpareil pattern marbled endpapers gilt edges.

(4), 232, 363pp, demi-basane marbrée à coins, dos à nerfs orné, tranches rouges (reliure de l'époque), L'Académie des sciences de Paris fut créée en 1666 par Colbert, qui réunit un petit groupe de savants deux fois par semaine, dans la bibliothèque du roi. L'Académie reçut ses statuts en 1699, avec le titre d'Académie royale, et fut installée au Louvre. Elle contribua au mouvement scientifique de son temps par ses publications et joua un rôle de conseil auprès du pouvoir. La série des volumes annuels "Histoire de l'Académie royale des sciences", tirés des registres de l'Académie, a été créée par le règlement de 1699. Les années 1666 à 1698 furent compilées plus tardivement, à la fin du 18° siècle. Ces précieux volumes de table, composés par l'abbé Rozier (1734-93), permettent d'effectuer des recherches dans les publications de 1666 à 1770. Qqs restaurations Couverture rigide

17744067Paris: Imprimerie Royale 1774. 8vo 163 x 91 mm. 18 3 3 528 30 3 3 pages. Partly double column. Woodcut and type-ornament head- and tailpieces. Faint marginal discoloration. Contemporary red morocco sides with triple thick and thin ruled border spine in six gold-tooled compartments title lettered in second compartment gilt medallion with monogram of the Ecole Royale Militaire in lower compartment gilt edges Brokatpapier endleaves with semis of gold stars and dots corners bumped. Provenance: modern etched bookplate with initials AK. Only Edition of a complete course of religious instruction for the pupils of the Ecole Royale Militaire founded in 1751 by Louis XV as a military academy for the sons of noble families including those who had sunk into poverty. The book of which only one other copy is recorded was printed and bound for the school. At first two hundred and eventually five hundred teenagers from all over France were admitted on the basis of an exam taken at the end of primary school. The huge expenses entailed by the construction of a magnificent palace to house the school designed by the architext Ange-Jacques Gabriel were covered by a national lottery and by taxes on playing cards. A single cohort graduated before the project ran out of money and although the buildings had been completed in 1787 the academy closed its doors. Pillaged during the Revolution it would not open again for the same purpose for another century. The first part of the book which was approved by and possibly written by Christophe de Beaumont the Archbishop of Paris consists of a primer of the Christian religion. It opens with the Archbishop's rules for the administration of religion in the school. From 6 am masses to near-daily catechisms and energetic prayer sessions to prepare for confession the young future officers were reminded regularly that their duties to God were as important as those to the King. The meticulous scheduling of each day and other casual details testify to the complete control of their lives by the authorities of the academy whose premises they seem never to have left not even on Christmas. An allusion to visits by the religious Directors to students in prison and in the infirmary are further reminders to the modern reader of the harsh conditions of young people's lives when children were viewed as small-sized adults. Including a table of moveable feasts from 1775 to 1793 and a calendar of Saints' days this section provides the basics of religion from the Ten Commandments to instructions on communion on how to conduct oneself at Mass and the ritual itself on examining one's conscience and preparing for confession and so on. While most could apply equally to any student including the repeated exhortations to contemplate one's sins clearly a central concern to these teachers of adolescents a few paragraphs address the special circumstances of soldiers. These include prayers to be recited before battle or after victory instructions on providing absolution to the dying in the absence of an available priest requiring memorization of a rather long passage and finally a prayer for a good death. The second and longer part printed in two columns contains the Offices for Sundays and feast days throughout the year partly in Latin. OCLC locates a single copy at the BnF.

A Large Paper Copy. Front pastedown with evidence of bookplate removal the ex-libris of Brian Stilwell pasted over it. ◆Rear joint with thin crack corners somewhat rubbed a couple small abrasions but the binding solid and still lustrous. Internally A BEAUTIFUL COPY--EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN FRESH AND BRIGHT and with vast margins.<br/> <br/> This is an almost astonishingly well-preserved example of the press work that made Joaquin Ibarra the most renowned Spanish printer of all time and along with Baskerville Bodoni and Didot one of the great European printers of the 18th century. His large paper copies like the present item were especially beautiful printed on linen paper with margins that occupy a good deal more space than the text. Ibarra 1725-85 trained at the Pontifical and Royal Printing Press managed by his brother Manuel before moving to Madrid to establish his own workshop. He created a secret formula for ink that was famed for its quality and brilliance producing an especially dark crisp text on the paper. The effect was enhanced by the technique he developed for "satinizing" the paper to remove any traces of the printing plate. After Ibarra's death the firm was carried on by his widow and heirs until 1836 maintaining the high standards he had set. The text here reports on the transactions of the Royal Academy of Fine Art between July 1796 and July 1799 and the prizes distributed by the king to academicians in the fields of painting sculpture and architecture. Previous owner Brian Stilwell is an active collector of a range of material focusing on printing as an art from incunabula to private press books. A member of the Philobiblon Club he donated 500 limited editions of fine press books to Rutgers University. Viuda de [Widow of] Joaquín Ibarra unknown
