[Cet ouvrage provient de la bibliothèque personnelle du professeur Jean Carbonnier (1908-2003)] L’auteur est connu comme l’un des grands bibliophiles du XVIIIème siècle, ayant d’ailleurs donné son nom au plus ancien Musée du monde consacré au livre, le Museum Meermanno[-Westreenianum] à la Haye dont la collection résulte des acquisitions de Gérard Meerman, de son fils Jean et de son arrière-neveu Willem van Westreenen. Il est également connu pour son achat de la bibliothèque du collège de Clermont à Paris, à la suite de l’expulsion des Jésuites, ayant nécessité un accord avec le Roi de France aux fins d’obtenir la possibilité de transporter les manuscrits, dont de nombreux incunables, jusqu’à Rotterdam. Antérieurement à cette affaire de 1764, « instruit que plusieurs pays, en particulier la France et l’Espagne, [avaient] produits plusieurs jurisconsultes dont les ouvrages [étaient] ignorés ou non imprimés, ou perdus, [Gérard Meerman avait] résolu de les rechercher et de les publier. Dans cette vue, il entra en correspondance avec une multitude de savans, et il entreprit divers voyages depuis 1744 jusqu’en 1747. » À son retour, « il fit imprimer en 1750 à la Haye, in-8° le Conspectus de son grand trésor de droit civil et canonique, qui [devait] renfermer, en cinq volumes in-folio, les ouvrages rares, principalement de l’Espagne et de la France. Il dédia cette annonce au célèbre Majanse, jurisconsulte espagnol qui l’ [avait] aidé dans ses recherches. La même année [1751] les deux premiers volumes de cette collection parurent, et en 1752 les trois volumes suivans qui [avaient] été promis. L’année suivante, il donna encore deux volumes, le sixième et le septième où trouvèrent place des ouvrages qu’il n’[avait] pas eus en 1750, lorsqu’il composait son Conspectus. Ce recueil précieux peut être mis à côté de celui d’Otto, pour le mérite et la rareté des pièces qu’il renferme. »[M. Meerman, De l’invention de l’imprimerie ou analyse des deux ouvrages publiés sur cette matière, Paris, 1809, F. Schoell, p. xiv-xv]. Une manne exceptionnelle d’ouvrages rares concentrés au sein de quelques volumes.

"Lord Montgomery's stimulating book must surely take its place as a classic commentary on the history of warfare. It is the fruit of a lifetime spent in the study and practice of war and it bears the authority of one who will without doubt be numbered among the great commanders. Its greatest merit springs from the author's understanding of the human factor in war.

281 pages. Author signed and inscribed this copy to John Dumont upon front free endpaper. "In this presentation, it will be shown that all components within every system, including all primary measurable forms of mass-energy and all complex components derived therefrom, function perpetually in accordance with the laws of motion in absolute freely-moving-body environments. It will also be shown that the bonding forces of any structural frame of any particle are nothing more and nothing less than the stability that results from pure vector mechanics in equilibria, functioning as freely-moving, composite frames, and that the stability is conserved through the instant mutual exchange of kinetic-energy-momenta... Therefore, all events should be considered purely as mechanical phenomena, and should never be considered as general or abstract phenomena." - from Introduction. Includes over a dozen black and white figures. Unmarked. Moderate wear. Binding intact. Gilt lettering upon navy backstrip and front board moderately rubbed but remains legible. A sound copy. Book

Each printed privately Law's poetry titles are each scarce with OCLC reporting 15 10 and 8 copies respectively. Drawn together here with feminist political associations Lady Colchester bestows the works on Mary the second Marchioness of Salisbury nee Sackville-West who was an active Tory in addition to overseeing a salon that included Charles Darwin and Benjamin Disraeli among its visitors.<br /> <br /> The author of several privately printed poetry collections in addition to published translations Elizabeth Susan Law Abbot Lady Colchester was noted in her own time for deploying "anecdotal self-deprecating and ironic" tones that complicated her otherwise polite literary output Comic Women's Poetry of the 19th Century. The three books combined here demonstrate that tendency. Folded within seemingly common upper-class topics are reflections on intelligent women's loneliness in a marriage economy that devalued their selfhood in the opening poem Le Beau Ideel of her volume dedicated to Lord Colchester; on the ways a woman's appearance might cause society to overlook her "rarest gifts.a head with heart combin'd" in the dedication of her volume to the late Sophia Countess Darlington; and on exercises of musical lyricism and translation in the volume dedicated to Joseph Jekyll the political raconteur best known for ensuring that his friend Ignatius Sancho's biography reached publication and spread the story of his birth during the Middle Passage and his life as a free Black intellectual.<br /> <br /> Even Lady Colchester's recipient speaks to her political interests. Mary the Marchioness of Salisbury was the second wife of the Marquess; and she was noted for her public engagement with political and intellectual figures including Benjamin Disraeli and Charles Darwin. Knowing of the Marchioness' own intellect and ambition her choice to present these three books speaks to the deeper meanings hidden within her own writing.<br /> <br /> Jackson 193.3 and 193.6.

His route took him from Natchitoches Louisiana across East Texas to Austin then south through San Marcos and New Braunfels to San Antonio. Following a side trip to Boerne and Sisterdale the brothers made their way to the coast at Indianola returned to San Antonio and then traveled to Eagle Pass on the Rio Grande where they made a brief foray into Mexico.
