17747047London: W. Bowyer and J. Nichols 1774. Half Leather. Very Good binding. Octavo. xvi 144 2 adverts pp. First edition. In 19th century half speckled calf with corners and marbled papers over boards. Joints are moderately rubbed but sound; light shelfwear; a very few instances of early ink corrections or brief annotations in addition to Bowyer's name being added in ink to the title page in an early hand; additionally a 20th word in green ink on p. 1; one leaf M4 has been excised likely at the time of printing as the text is complete and the pagination is correct matching catalogued and digitized copies. <br /> <br /> In content this work comprises an abridged reprinting of Conyer Middleton's Dissertation 1734-5 correctly arguing that contrary to popular opinion William Caxton was the first printer in England. The second essay is an English translation of Gerard Meerman's Origines Typographicase in which the Dutch collector argues that the first printing was done by Laurentius in Harleim improved upon by Gutenberg and then Schoeffer in Mainz. Both essays are accompanied by intelligent commentary by the printers in addition to appendices on early Greek Hebrew and polyglot books. Bigmore and Wyman state "The book although it has been robbed of its authority by modern researchers at the time of its publication brought in great praise to its compilers the 'learned printers' of the age" p. 75. An important book delving into the history of printing in Europe that was reprinted several times in the 18th century. This copy of the first edition is from the library of American collector Albert A. Howard with his small monograph plate on the rear pastedown.

Madden describes this work as a "Marxist publication which concludes that the Nazis burned the Reichstag. An appendix claims to list 747 proven cases of murder committed by the Nazis. Above-average but not excessive wear and soiling to publisher's faded red cloth. Binding intact. The only markings begin at page 231 and continue to the end.

The text lavishly illustrated with tipped-on black-and-white plates and color plates charts and diagrams has been divided into several parts. <br /> <br /> From Roberto Salvini eminent professor of the University of Florence comes the grand account of the whole and its parts; from Ettore Camesasca a distinguished younger scholar comes an exacting study of the literary and critical sources that have accumulated since 1541 when the completed Chapel was unveiled concerning each scene and figure as well as ceremonies architectural aspects and contemporary letters poems and drawings; Professor Carlo Ragghianti of the University of Pisa contributes a summation of the system of decoration. <br /> <br /> Descriptions historical background documents and literature and great events are covered and there is a full apparatus of notes and bibliography. <br /> <br /> The second volume is devoted to extraordinary full-page color platesseveral of them multipaged fold-outs. Not only are whole walls and ceilings shown in stunning totality but actual-size details of the frescoes make it possible to examine these with cinematic clarity. The result is an overwhelming effect of power and immediacy; no visitor to the Chapel itself can receive all the impressions this book provides" From the Publishers. <br /> <br /> There are a total of 323 illustrations including 260 in full color.

Fitzroy R.N. during the years 1832 to 1836" The monograph set out Darwin's theory of the formation of coral reefs and atolls.

This is the third edition with Darwin's prefaces to the first and second edition and a preface to this edition by his son Francis Darwin.
