A Sketch of a Journey from Zhe-Hol in Tartary by land to Pekin and from thence by water to Hang-Tchoo-Foo in China.

1796207049London.: George Nicol. 1796. Double-sheet engraved copperplate map 63.2 x 44.8 cm; 75 x 57 cms sheet including platemark central fold the sheet toned at the edges and central fold a couple of minor spots and edge wear but in very good condition. An exquisitely engraved map with fine detail of the route taken by George Macartney on the first official British embassy to China 1792-1794 undertaken with the aim of gaining trade concessions from the Chinese Emperor and published in George Staunton's officall account. While the official purpose was not successful much was learned about China and the Chinese as is evident from this map with its explanatory texts. To the west of Pekin just below the starting point at Zhe-hol Jehol which is situated at the top of this map the commentary reads: "A great part of the country around Pekin is employed in the production of culinary vegetables and a variety of fruits." At the lower edge of the map just north of the ending point of Hangzhou is the lake Tai Hoo: "The western side of the Tai-hoo is bounded by a very romantic and fertile country whose mountains are clutivated to their very tops. A great part of the province of Tche-tchiang appears to be cultivated with Mulberry trees for the food of the Silk worms." Cities of the 1st 2nd and 3rd orders "considerable towns" and villages are marked along with "Halting places" etc. Fascinating Western documentation of the area around the Imperial Canal of the late Eighteenth Century. .

This collection contains a variety of pieces for ball dancing in vogue in 1700; many of them are quite difficult. According to the preface to Feuillet's Chorégraphie Pécour himself went over the proofs to eliminate errors in notation." Little and Marsh p. 93. Louis Guillaume Pécour 1651-1729 was an important French dancing-master and choreographer. He worked closely with celebrated royal choreographer Pierre Beauchamp 1631-1705 Louis XIV's personal dancing master. Octavo. Full dark brown mottled calf with raised bands on spine in decorative compartments gilt dark brown title label gilt. Binding worn rubbed and bumped with some abrasions; head of spine joints and edges chipped with minor loss; endpapers slightly worn soiled and foxed. Occasional minor signs of wear soiling and foxing; several titles very slightly cropped. Very good copies overall of all three works. Feuillet was a highly important French choreographer dancing-master and author. "He worked at the court of Louis XIV. His fame rests on his Chorégraphie a book describing a system of dance notation that was used in Europe throughout the 18th century. He probably did not invent the system himself although he said he had but derived it from the original work of Pierre Beauchamps Louis XIV's personal dancing-master. Unlike previous methods which describe movement verbally and use letters to refer to the sequence of steps Feuillet's system is a track notation. It represents symbolically not only the steps of the dancer with his turns leaps and slides but also the floor pattern in which he is to travel. The dance music is printed at the top of the page and the steps are marked off in a manner corresponding to the structure of the music. . The publication of the Beauchamp-Feuillet notation meant that specific dances could easily be distributed throughout Europe. It also added to France's pre-eminence in the world of dance. Today the system makes it possible for scholars to study some of the dances in use in the late 17th and early 18th centuries an important period for the development of the classical French ballet style and technique." Meredith Ellis Little in Grove Music Online "With the invention of his dance notation system in the eighteenth century Raoul-Auger Feuillet revolutionized the dance world. Published in 1700 his Chorégraphie . was conceived as a self-teaching device not a way of preserving dance. Yet owing to its immense popularity throughout Europe even today a large body of theatrical and ballroom dances from that period in both printed and manuscript forms can still be found in most archives. . Chorégraphie was reprinted three times in thirteen years translated into English by John Weaver in 1706 and appeared in various "improved" versions in France Germany Spain and Portugal. Voltaire 1751 ranked the invention among the "achievements of his day" and Denis Diderot 1763 devoted ten pages to the subject in his Encyclopédie." International Encyclopedia of Dance Vol. 2 p. 588. An extraordinary presentation of three of the most important early choreographic works all major factors in confirming France's preeminence in the world of 18th century ballet. unknown

1726ST15736cLondon: Printed for Tho. Woodward by William Bowyer 1726. FIRST EDITION. One of 1000 copies according to Bowyer's ledgers per ESTC. 360 x 222 mm. 14 x 8 3/4". 12 p.l. 456 i.e. 452 pp. 4L2v is numbered 316-320. Contemporary calf covers with gilt roll frame oblique floral cornerpieces rebacked in olive-brown calf raised bands flanked by scrolling gilt rolls panels with decorative gilt centerpiece red morocco label marbled endpapers and edges neat repairs to head edge and to corners. With engraved frontispiece five small engravings in the text and two engraved plates of plants. Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of Charles Gresley; pp. 286 288-290 with contemporary ink annotations to folded fore margins. Henrey 945; ESTC T146573. ◆Boards with a number of small abrasions but the restored binding sound and perfectly agreeable; isolated faint dust-soiling to head margins other trivial imperfections but the text in very fine condition especially clean crisp and bright and with ample margins. Very fresh and bright internally especially for a book expected to incur use in an unprotected context this practical and comprehensive work would have been an indispensable resource for any 18th century husbandman interested in raising livestock and cultivating trees vegetables and fruit. Although the frontispiece depicts the stately Richmond home of the Prince of Wales with its manicured grounds and rows of neatly spaced trees the contents are just as useful to the everyman including "Husbandman Grazier Planter Gardener and Florist." John Laurence 1668-1752 was a fellow at Cambridge before becoming rector of Yelvertoft Northamptonshire where he developed a passion for horticulture while renewing a dilapidated garden there DNB tells us he was especially skilled at growing pears. Laurence wrote three books on the pleasures of gardening while living in Yelvertoft; he later moved to Bishopwearmouth Durham where he wrote the present work--his last and according to Henrey "most ambitious literary project." The author explains how to improve and maintain the land in book I with advice on planting crops and raising different kinds of livestock from cattle to silkworms. He even devotes a few chapters to using land for mines and quarries revealing the "hidden Treasures which lie couched in Nature's Bowels." Book II is devoted to forest and timber trees and books III-V offer a catalogue of fruit trees vegetables and decorative plants to grow in the Fruit Garden Kitchen Garden and Flower-Garden respectively. This is a pleasurable book to leaf through being wonderfully clean throughout and accessible to the modern reader with familiar plants that might be growing in one's backyard today. Printed for Tho.
