1973015809Paris Georges Fall - Bibli Opus 1973 In-8 en hauteur Broché, couverture à rabats
Extensive and complete product catalog of the German pharmaceutical and medical supply firm Mich.G.Birk GmbH & Co. [predecessor to today's BIRK Rundkartonagen GmbH & Co. KG], a highly reputable global firm established in Germany by wainwright [wagon maker] Michael Birk in 1879, designed for the private use of a single client. 8vo. 580 pages of text [double-leaf pagination tallies 290], xxxi (index), plus 20 pages colour chromolithographed frontispiece illustrations of sample labels ads - some of which are fold-outs, plus 9 pages of actual label samples mounted to the leafs. Text is complete in four languages - German, English, French, and Spanish, with the foremost leaf of proprietorship adding also Portuguese. Publisher's original illustrated binding, brown cloth titled in gilt and black lettering to front and spine, "Mich.Birk. Tuttlingen Deutschland. Katalog No.4." Occasional finger markings in the margins of five leaves only, specifically from the person who manually mounted the adhesive labels, otherwise in Near Fine condition, seldom seen complete, and in such pristine never-used condition, an exceedingly scarce volume in this state. Volumes such as this would have been issued to a specific client, for their own reference only. The following simple agreement is printed in five languages to the first leaf: "This list is to remain the property of the firm of Mich. Birk of Tuttlingen and only Mr._______ has been entrusted with the sole use of it. Reprints prohibited, will be prosecuted by law." The present volume was not assigned to anyone and remains as new, in original condition. Interestingly, the "Terms of Business" which prefaces the first section of product, is written in such a way that reveals the very personalized service offered by the owner of the firm, in spite of being an international success by this time. A pleasing repository of 1920s marketing of products from around the globe offered by the respected long-standing and leading packaging firm of Michael Birk - from a brief period when they also offered medical and surgical instruments, equipment and even laboratory furniture. It was in 1920 that Michael Birk expanded his export trade overseas and established offices in Mexico and South America, at the same time offering global distribution of products and instruments for the medical technology industry, from renowned manufacturers located in Tuttlingen, Germany. He also introduced significantly advanced offerings to his clients, such as grease-proof cardboard ointment containers, embossed colour labels according to individual customer requirements. [After the Second World War, global economics caused the firm to return its focus entirely to the development and production of packaging.] The present volume is a fine survivor of this pinnacle period in the firm's history, and an exceedingly scarce find in its pristine condition.
Very Good Persian Original brown half-leather. Light chipping on top of binding. Otherwise a very good copy. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Persian. [2], 460, [3] p. Scarce first edition of this fifth and the last volume of the dictionary including a detailed "glossary of difficult words used in the text", which is an invaluable resource in the Persian language, of corpus titled "Dâstân-e turktâzân-i Hind, girdâvarde-e khâma-e" [i.e. History of Muslim and Turkish rule in India] written by Mirzâ Nasru'llâh Khân Fidâiî at the end of the 19th century. This volume is the fifth and the last of Nasrullah Khan's five-volume work on the Muslim period in the Indian subcontinent up to the British Raj (1858-1947), conventionally said to start in 712, after the conquest of Sindh and Multan by the Umayyad caliphate. From the late 12th century onwards, Muslim empires dominated the subcontinent, most notably the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire.

Some browning and brownspots to plates. <br/><br/><em>First printing of this milestone papers in the history of chemistry where Berzelius introduced his famous chemical symbolism the offered paper is the first on the subject - Leicester & Klickstein calls it the "Preliminary note whereby an element is generally represented by the first letter of its Latin name or in the event of elements having the same first letter by the first two letters. Even though his atomic symbols were introduced in 1813 see the note on p. 359 it was quite a few years before Berzelius's symbols were adopted by the chemistry community. But once accepted they became the new international language of chemistry. Berzelius "contributed more to the development of the atomic theory and to the setting up of accurate values of the atomic weights than did any other worker of the time. Of his contributions moreover to the development of the atomic theory and the advancement of chemical science not the least valuable was the introduction of a chemical symbolism which with slight modification is in use at the present day. By giving his symbols a quantitative meaning - the symbol of an element representing one atomic proportion by weight - it was possible "to show briefly and clearly the number of elementary atoms in each compound and after the determination of their relative weights present the results of each analysis in a simple and easely retained manner". This symbolism was speedily adopted on the Continent but in England only after some considerable time."Findlay "A Hundred Years of Chemistry" p. 14.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1813 C. - Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book in Chemistry" p. 258 ff. - Holmberg 1813:28 a. </em> hardcover
