Light wear on spine, fading on boards, ex-owner's inscription on the colophon, and some notes and seal by Usak Askerî Klübü. Sealed by "Ittihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti Usak Kazasi Kulüp Heyeti Idaresi: Uhuvvet - Hürriyet - Musavat" [i.e. Union and Progress Society Usak City Club Directorate: Brotherhood - Freedom - Equality]. Signed and inscribed by Ahmed Saib as 'Usak Askeri Klübü'ne hediye-i acîzânemdir. Vatanimizi kanimiz ile muhafaza ediniz'. Seal is produced in 'July 20, 1908'. Ahmed Saib was born in 1859 in Dagestan. After completing his education in military schools in the Russian Empire, he entered the service of the Ottoman Empire with the rank of captain. He was in the Sultan Abdulhamid II's Hassa Cavalry Regiment and under the aide of Gazi Ahmed Muhtar Pasha, the Extraordinary Commissioner of Egypt. Later, he left his military service and published the newspaper Sancak (1899-1907), which spread the ideas of Ottoman liberals against the tyranny of the sultan since 1899 in Egypt, in the city of Cairo, and included articles on the constitutional struggle and the political structure of the period. Murad V was the 33rd Sultan of the Ottoman Empire who reigned from 30 May to 31 August 1876. The question of Sultan Murad V's enthronement in 1876 was a very strategic move for the Young Turks in its period. Only three copies in OCLC: 427392804.; Özege 19913. First and Only Edition.

"Prima ed unica edizione" di questa importante e rara biografia. “Il Malpighi (1628-94) fu uno dei più geniali anatomici che la storia ricordi e uno dei più coraggiosi innovatori della medicina. Difensore del metodo sperimentale dovette sostenere acerrime lotte da parte dei galenisti. Fu il primo a ricorrere al microscopio per lo studio sistematico delle varie strutture animali e vegetali e come tale è considerato il fondatore dell’anatomia microscopica. Nel campo della medicina egli portò a conclusione gli studi sulla circolazione del sangue, dimostrando l’esistenza dei capillari del polmone e migliorò le conoscenze sull’intima struttura di vari organi”. Così Diz. Treccani,VII, p. 308. Il fiorentino Lorenzo Bellini, medico anatomista e scrittore (1643-1704) fu primo medico di Cosimo III. Fresco esemplare, ben conservato.

1 vol. in-8 reliure de l'époque demi-basane verte, Pagnerre, Paris, 1860, 2 ff., 552 pp. Très rare exemplaire de l'édition originale de la biographie très détaillée d'Adolphe Sax (1814-1894), inventeur du saxophone et du saxhorn. Etat satisfaisant (anciens cachets du cercle philharmonique de Bordeaux, reliure frottée avec mq. en coiffes, petite pliure à qq. ff. en coins mais belle fraîcheur intérieure générale). Né à Bordeaux, le musicologue Oscar Comettant (1819-1898) fut aussi un voyageur fameux (notamment aux Etats-Unis, au Danemark ou en Australie), plus intéressé aux institutions, à la vie politique et à l'éducation qu'aux grands paysages. Comettant sait être didactique (il use souvent de dialogues fictifs très accessibles pour exposer les sujets les plus complexes) et précis dans cet ouvrage étonnant, publié alors que son contemporain Adolphe Sax n'avait que 56 ans ; mais Sax avait alors déjà inventé le saxophone, le saxhorn, le saxotrombas, développé le clairon et les ancêtres du trombone à coulisse et du saxtubas, et perfectionné le hautbois ; en 1876, il inventera le tuba wagnérien.

Signed, without inscription, by author atop front free endpaper. pp. 248. "A compelling indictment of war by a man who knows it as few men do! Sergeant Reinhold Pabel of the 115th Panzer Grenadiers of Hitler's First Army switched lives when he escaped from an Illinois prisoner of war camp in 1945. The man who faced Russian guns in the Ukraine, battled the Americans in Italy and looked out through the barbed wire of a prisoner of war compound in the United States, became, in a remarkably short time, a respected American businessman whose past was unsuspected by his friends, associates or local police. When the FBI finally tracked him down, they found only Philip Brick, quiet proprietor of one of Chicago's North Side bookstores. His is a vivid, eyewitness account of the Russian campaign as seen by a slogging German foot soldier. He was transfered to Sicily and Italy where he was taken prisoner and sent to North Africa, then Camp Grant in Illinois, from which he escaped before being captured in 1953. The wonder of Pabel's story lies in his human touch. Without wild fanatic shouts of protest or of flag waving, he presents and illustrates a concept of vital importance to today's world." - dust jacket.

Its origin was so shrouded in humble obscurity, and the rapidity with which it sprang forward to prosperity and fame was alike so extraordinary and so remarkable, that the public gaze has been kept by a species of fascination upon the movements of the well-known fianciers. From one corner of the world to the other the success of the Rothschilds has been the subject of universal wonder and envy." - from pages 1-2. Above-average wear. Front hinge open. Library binding.
