Complete unpaginated: 1 A2-Aaa3 1 blank; ruled in red throughout title page with floral engraved border and centerpiece in contemporary green Morocco leather binding with gilt stamped spine with five gilt-ruled raised bands and flowers to all four corners and center of each compartment covers with single gilt rule and triangular dentelle all edges gilt; early 'Placard' marbled paper endpapers. Two owner's inscriptions the first in a very fine Old English hand 'S. R. Crowther' beneath a pen drawing of a lion; subsequent woman owner's inscription 'Hester Yates' also in a fine hand. Hinges very subtly repaired spine flexed at Hh Jeremiah with original tail band cracked an inherent vice endemic to tight-back bindings of the era some trivial rubbing to the leather; otherwise a very sound and handsome example of a period English binding. The King James Version is the possession of the British Crown and publication 'privileges' are granted to select few. One caveat is that there was seemingly no restriction on selling or lending these rights. 'On July 7th 1660 the University of Oxford farmed out their privilege to Henry Hills and John Field in consideration of an annual payment of £80' D&M Other privilege holders were quite disturbed by this arrangement and cried fowl at the particularly 'dangerous' error-ridden editions produced by Hills and Field.

1638022099Cambridge: Thomas Buck and Roger Daniel 1638. . Your chance to own a complete Bible apart from one leaf printed only 27 years after the King James Version first came out - a huge one 15 inches tall similar to the pictures you may have seen of original 1611 editions. Hinges and extremities have wear and tear and clasps are missing. Early and late pages have furrows perhaps suggesting moisture issues long ago. A few small holes to pages appear to have been caused by rust and therefore presumably contamination of the paper by specks of ferrous metal. There are no extra materials apart from the translators' addresses to King James and to the reader at the front and the Apocrypha located between the Old and New Testaments. No endpapers - inside of front cover has old stamps of Thomas Garbutt Linen and Woollen Draper Barnard Castle likely from 100 or more years ago. The date of 1638 which is printed on the NT title page has also been added in an old but plain style in black pen at the bottom of the illustrated main title page which is a bit worn and grubby. Page 611-612 middle of Hosea is missing seeming at first glance not to have been present but in fact some tiny fragments do appear at the spine. The last page of text is dilapidated but the text of it seems near complete. Some old repairs have been made to borders of pages by pasting on paper which mostly seems of a similar nature to the original and in general when doing this care seems to have been taken not to obscure the text. The exterior is not elaborate but has a 3 inch long rhombus shaped area of gilt decoration to the middle of each of the two boards; there is no lettering or decoration to the spine. There are pictorial drop initials at the beginning of each book of the Bible and Apocrypha. This specific printing is said to have remained the standard text until the printing of Dr Paris' Cambridge edition of 1762. Leather. Average. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.

The papers were published at the same time in Swedish German both here in Annalen and in Schweiger's Journal and in French. By running many hundreds of analysis of chemical compounds he gave so many examples of the law of definite proportions that the world of chemistry could no longer doubt its validity and in so doing he gave experimental evidence to the atomic theory. He hereby laid a solid fundation for the further development of chemistry. A reprint is found in Ostwald's Klassiker der exakten Wissenschaften No. 35.According to Söderbaum Jac. Berzelius 2 p.12 "It was a giant work one of the most importent in the history of chemistry which was here presented. One is even more impressed when one remembers that it was a pioneer undertaking in every sense of the term. Analytic and synthetic methods existed before Berzelius' time to be sure but there were no precise methods of the sort which he required. They all had to be elaborated at the cost of time and labour."J. Erik Jorpes "Jac. Berzelius" p.45."In general Berzelius's efforts were directed toward the consolidation and extension of the atomic theory. He improved chemical analysis and determined the composition of a large number of compounds thus verifying the laws of constant and multiple proportions and furnishing the most accurate equivalent weights then available. By ingenious methods he arrived at the correct atomic composition of most common substances and thus was enabled to draw up in 1826 a table of atomic weights very nearly identical with the modern one."Leicester & Klicktein "A Source Book in Chemistry" p. 258.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1810-20 C. </em> unknown

Underlying everything is an explanation that reveals the inner state of the spiritual life or the ways and effects of God in in souls for their purification enlightenment and union with Him. A theologian and orientalist Haug was expelled from Strasburg for holding an assembly of Philadelphians and other mystic Separatists. He fled to the castle of Casimir Graf von Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berlenburg which had become a refuge for radical pietiests. Remaining there until his death Haug directed a Philadelphian organization that extended throughout western Germany. "He is said to have been a man of great piety and charming personality and was regarded by Count Casimer as a prophet of God" Schaff-Herzog. <br /> <br /> "The new spirit of mystical Pietism. was fully revealed in the Marburg Bible 1712. The interpretation of type and prophecy in this follows the federal theology of Cocceius that of Canticles and Revelation Madame Guyon. It was the forerunner of a larger work in the same spirit the Berleburg Bible of 1726-42. projected and prepared chiefly by Johann Heinrich Haug. The text is a revision of Luther's with comparison of the English and French versions; the commentary reflects the views of the Philadelphian communities and quotes the mystical books current among them especially Madame Guyon's but its teaching goes back beyond Dippel and Petersen to Jakob Böhme or even to Origen in some points. It lacks unity of belief and of treatment; it is the work not of a single mystic giving voice to his inner convictions but of a propagandist sect with radical tendencies. It is not without value however from different points of view; it edifies by its continual application of Scriptural works to the spiritual life and it prepares the way for historical criticism by an appendix containing apocrypha Old and New Testament pseudepigrapha and postapostolic writings." Schaff-Herzog. Christopher Sauer the agent for the sale of the Berlenburg Bible in the United States used the text as a model for the first German-American Bible 1743.<br /> <br /> Provenance: Bookplates of Library of Union Biblical Seminary Bishop Mills Estate; entries at front endleaf "Bequeathed by Bishop J.

Octavo 28 x 22cm pp.117 mimeograph in textured light blue card wrappers with die-cut title window bound internally with two clasps. Minor annotations to title page. Accompanied by a 7pp. shooting schedule for the film with a few annotations. Numbered copy 38 to front wrapper which bears a presentation inscription in an unknown hand. A used yet well preserved copy. Stated 'Final Draft. August 27 1984'. A Warner movie based on Agatha Christie's novel starring Helen Hayes as Miss Marple and a cast of suspects including Bette Davis John Mills Dorothy Tutin and Leo McKern. This was Helen Hayes' second outing in the role after A Caribbean Mystery in 1983 and her final film. She made her first in 1910. The unsigned and less than complimentary presentation across the front wrapper is appropriately a mystery but reads like the inscription of either a self-deprecating writer or an exasperated actor The presence here of the film's shooting schedule suggests the latter.

Studio details to title page redacted with Tippex title inked to lower edge of text block. A fine clean copy with a folder of associated paperwork location notes contacts etc. Plans for this film adaptation of Murder in Mesopotamia were very far advanced when the project collapsed. The screenplay was written by Julian Bond fresh from his recent success with The Whistle Blower 1986 starring Michael Caine; Christopher Miles whose project this was was in place to direct; and Peter Ustinov who by then had already played Hercule Poirot five times on screen was to be the film's star. However relations between Australian studio executives and the project's Japanese backers soured just as the project was about to be green lit and the film was never made. This copy has had the Australian studio details Burbank Films Paddington Sydney Tippexed from the title page presumably in anticipation of submitting the screenplay to other studios in the hope of reviving the vehicle. But no such salvation was found. Murder in Mesopotamia finally reached the screen in 2002 in a version by Clive Exton and starring David Suchet as Poirot. A very scarce piece of Christie arcana and a well preserved copy. Sydney: Burbank Films, 1987 unknown

The papers are the French translations of his papers published in Abhandl. d. königl. Akad. d. Wissenscchaften in Berlin in 1861 and 1862.In the course of his preparatory work in the autumn of 1859 Kirchhoff made an unexpected observation. It had long been known that the dark D lines noticed in the solar spectrum by Fraunhofer 1814 coincided with the yellow lines emitted by flames containing sodium.Kirchhoff's unexpected discovery was that if the intensity of the solar spectrum increased above a certain limit the dark D lines were made much darker by the interrposition of the sodium flame. He instantly felt that he had got hold of "something fundamental" even though he was at a loss to suggest an explanation. On the day following the surprising observation Kirchhoff found the the correct interpretation which wass soon confirmed by new experiments: a substance capable of emittiing a certain spectral line has a strong absorptive power for the same line.The dark D lines in the solar spectrum could accordingly be ascribed to absorption by a solar atmosphere containing sodium. Immense prospects thus opened up of ascertaining the chemical composition of the sun and other stars from the study of their optical spectra. A few more weeks sufficed for Kirchhoff to elaborate a quantitative theory of the relationship between emissive and absorptive poweer."DSB VII pp. 381-82.PMM 278 b. - Barchas 1169-70 - Sparrow 117 - Horbli 59 - Dibner 153 the note. </em> hardcover
