185074207Paris: Magnin Blanchard & Compagnie 1850. Fine. Magnin Blanchard & Compagnie Paris 1850 S.d. 17.50 x 27.20 cm relié This illustrated edition originally appeared from Curmer but the frontispieces of each tale were only printed in black whereas they have been printed in bistre in this edition.

1688032445<p>London: Printed by Joseph Streater for sale by T Basset J Robinson B Aylmer Joh Southby And W Canning 1688 A very good copy of this important work on comparative anatomy with engraved title; rubricated title and 30 plates. The original publication had 2 separate parts both complete in themselves - the second section 'The Measure of the Earth' translated by Richard Waller is not present. Alexander Pitfeild undertook to translate this work originally led by Charles Perrault for the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris. Animals mostly from the royal menageries at Vincennes and Versailles were supplied to the Royal Academy for detailed study and dissection. The first publication including 13 species appeared in 1671 with a second volume 5 years later. The publications had very short print runs and were very expensive being elephant folio with detailed art work mainly by Sebastien Leclerc. There was a growing desire to learn about natural history and the nature of animals and copies of Perrault's work were almost impossible to obtain. Pitfeild's translation was much needed and it became the only work published on comparative anatomy in England between 1660 and 1700. Richard Waller undertook the illustrations copying Leclerc but reducing the size taking care to keep the drawings in proportion. The second part missing here was undertaken not because it was linked in any way but because it was important and of interest to the Royal Society. Copies of Pitfeild's translation are extremely scarce. This copy is in a new binding with cloth spine with title label and paper-covered boards. Contents: engraved title page; rubricated title page; permission for printing by the Royal Society with 2 ink reference numbers at the top; dedication; To The Reader 2pp; preface 9pp; text pp 1- 267 with 30 plates p 1 with small stamp to bottom margin; a few light ink spots to bottom side margins pp 48 & 49; small repaired edge tear bottom p141; alphabetical table of animal names with errata 2pp; index of anatomical matters 11pp; finis. Contents in very good clean condition. There is some staining which is mostly to the top outer page corners and varies in intensity. Occasional light marking elsewhere.

1722ABC_50368London: Printed for J. Senex and R. Gosling; W. Taylor W. and J. Innys and J. Osborn 1722. Contemporary half sprinkled calf marbled paper sides red sprinkled edges. Folio. With 6 full-page engravings of columns 6 half-page engravings 23 engraved initials 23 engraved headpieces 18 engraved tailpieces as well as an engraved title page and an engraved dedication. Second English edition of Claude Perraults 1613-1688 influential work on classical architecture presents a remarkable combination of intellectual rigor practical guidance and fine engraving. Originally published in Paris in 1683 Perraults treatise was at the time controversial and dismissed by the Académie Royale dArchitecture as unsuitable for students and never republished in France or abroad apart from England.The English translation undertaken by the architect John James ca. 1672-1746 first appeared in 1708 and this second edition of 1722 adds an alphabetical explanation of architectural terms and several new engravings. John Sturt 1658-1730 celebrated engraver and publisher enriched the edition with a beautifully engraved title page a dedication leaf to Thomas Earl of Pembroke 1656-1733 and more than 50 engraved initials head- and tailpieces textual illustrations and retains 6 engraved plates illustrating the Tuscan Doric Ionic Corinthian and Composite orders.Perraults work exerted lasting influence on English architecture. Figures such as Nicholas Hawksmoor ca. 1661-1736 John Vanbrugh 1664-1726 and William Kent 1685-1748 drew upon his principles while later theorists including Isaac Ware 1704-1766 and William Chambers 1723-1796 integrated his approach into their own treatises. This second English edition therefore represents both a practical manual for builders and a key intellectual link between French architectural theory and English practice.With the initials WD and the name W. Danby written on the front pastedown possibly referring to William Danby 1752-1833 the English writer who rebuilt his family home Swinton Park and constructed a replica of Stonehenge on his estate. In 1784 he served as High Sheriff of Yorkshire. The binding shows some wear with some rubbing to the boards and spine. There is a tear to the lower margin of the title page not affecting text or illustration and some staining throughout particularly on the page containing the table of chapters to part I on pp. 94-95 and on p. 25.
