184363108London William Pickering 1843. 8vo. In contemporary cloth rebacked. With stains and repairs to boards. Inner hinges reinforced. Previous owner's name to verso of front board: "G. H. Darwin / April 1869" Charles Darwin's son. Light foxing throughout primarily affecting first leaves. VIII 272 1 pp. 1 plate. <br/><br/><em>First substantial English translation with an interisting provenance of Rask’s pioneering Old Norse grammar originally published in Danish in 1811 one of the foundational works of modern comparative linguistics. The present copy belonged to George Howard Darwin son of Charles Darwin distinguished mathematician and astronomer best known for his work on tidal theory and the evolution of the Earth–Moon system. Rask was among the earliest scholars to treat Old Norse Icelandic as a systematic and a historically grounded language rather than a curiosity of antiquarian interest. His work helped establish the methodological basis for what would become Indo-European philology. Rasmus Rask is one of the absolutely most prominent and famous Danish philologers and is very well esteemed worldwide. He was the first to systematically study the ancient Nordic languages and is the discoverer of the relations between the consonants in the Indo-European languages. This discovery served as the foundation of the rules Jacob Grimm later formulated underlying the Germanic and High-German soundshifts. In PMM Rask is identified as "one of the founders of the modern science of language." PMM 266. </em> hardcover
1838025895London: Thomas Ward & Co / Society for the Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace 1838. First Collected Edition . Full Blue Calf Gilt. Good. Stereotype Reprints Of The First Twelve Tracts Published As Pamphlets By The Society Each Newly Printed Here With 1838 Date On Title Pages For Each Tract And Catalog Of All Twelve Tracts Plus The 'New Series Of Small Tracts" On The Verso Of The Title Page Each Title Page With Price Of Two Or Three Pence. The First Tract Is Commonly Available But The Later Tracts Were Mostly Based On A Popular Theological Interpretation Of Christian Principles And Unreadable By Anyone Involved In Executive Decisions Particularly As War Had Been The Usual Basis Of Promotion And Wealth In All Socities Worldwide . Finely Bound In Polished Blue Calf Four Raised Bands Decorated In Gilt Morocco Spine Label Blind-Stamped Compartments Covers With Four Sets Of Gilt Border Rules With Ornate Gilt Embellishments At Corners Of Two Central Sets Of Rules All Edges Gilt Finely Hand-Marbled End Papers Four Wavy Gilt Lines On All Turns. Binding Worn Page Block Neatly Detached From Binding No Chips Or Tears Could Be Nicely Refurbished. Unfortunately Peace Literature Does Not Start With A Statement Of What A Government Should Hold Truly Essential And Non-Negotiable In Any Peace Negotiation Nor Discusses What Is Negotiable To The Benefit Of The Other Party; Rather Peace Literature Is Like Rules For A Playtime Tea. This Is Fitting As The Grown-Ups And The Government Just Want To Remain In Charge While Looking Good Although Actually Having No Articulable Principles Applicable To Both Parties To State Because They Know No Other Way To Achieve Popularity Or At Least Incumbency. <br/> <br/> Thomas Ward & Co / Society for the Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace unknown
