Due opere unite in 8° (cm 11,5 x 18,5), cartonatura colorata muta coeva, tracce d'uso, titolo calligrafato al dorso, pp viij, 326 per la prima opera; viii, 219, (6) per la seconda. Esemplari in buone condizioni, in barbe, bruniture dovute al tipo di carta, antica firma al frontespizio della prima opera ed all'occhietto della seconda, di due importanti opere economiche e politiche di ambito illuminista. L'A. della prima opera, De Lolme (1741-1806), gureconsulto calvinista di Ginevra, discepolo di Rousseau e ammiratore di Montesquieu, ammiratore del sistema politico britannico, deve lasciare Ginevra per Londra, avendo pubblicato libelli che dispiacciono all'oligarchia dominante; studia il sistema britannico ed elabora una teoria di governo liberale "all'inglese", ovvero moderato. La prima edizione dell'opera appare nel 1771. "Avec cet in-8° de 312 pages, de Lolme osait donner ce que personne avant lui, fût-il anglais, n'avait entrepris : une description et une explication du régime politique anglais par rapport aux autres formes de gouvernement européennes. Avec l'ardeur du néophyte, il s'efforçait même de prouver, lui le démocrate de Genève, que l'agencement constitutionnel anglais, résultant de l'histoire et de l'esprit national du peuple britannique était le neilleur possible et seul susceptible de garantir la véritable liberté politique" (J.P. Machelon: "Les idées politiques de J.L. de Lolme", P.U.F. 1969). Segue versione inglese nel 1775. L'A. non si limita, nel suo trattato, a descrivere le istituzioni britanniche, le idealizza e crea la teoria del governo liberale, affermando che la libertà politica non può essere assicurata che dall'equilibrio dei poteri. Per quanto riguarda la seconda opera, del La Combe (1733-1795), COPAC precisa che essa fu pubblicata anonima per la prima volta nel 1780, ma in altra scheda troviamo: "Epitre placée devant l'édition de 1777' signed: L'atheronome.--cf ESTC. The imprint is false; printed for Merkus's widow in Leipzig Leipziger Messkatalog". Luogo quindi falso di edizione, autore anonimo, dediche tendenziose e colme di sottintesi ed allusioni satiriche ai lettori iniziati. Descrizione sarcastica di: strade, mezzi di trasporto, vie d'accesso, mode, ordini cavallereschi, carattere della nobiltà, la religione, i monumenti civili ed ecclesiastici, gli Ebrei, la valuta, commercianti e produttori, istituzioni politiche, ricchezza nazionale, leggi civili e criminali, Caccia, Carne, Pesce, Frutta, Birra, Carbon fossile, poste, domestici, costruzione degli edifici, la Borsa, teatri, la Stampa e la libertà di stampa, ospedali, palazzi reali, corse di cavalli, esercito, elenco delle navi da guerra, soldo degli ufficiali e delle truppe, i supplizi in vigore, la Costituzione, i tre poteri politici, prezzi delle derrate, pompe funebri, lotteria di Stato, per finire con "gli effetti perniciosi del tè", causati del suo uso smodato. Esemplari delle due opere censiti in COPAC.

Author: J. M. de Navarro Publisher: London: Edward Stanford, Royal Geographical Society, 1925. Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads!!! Notes & Condition: Well illustrated with in-text sketch maps, as well as a large fold out colour map which identifies amber from the bronze age and the early iron age uncovered in central Europe, the author describes the tremendous influence of amber on communications from the North Sea to the Baltic. The author presents a neatly outlined study of the Central routes, the Western routes, and the those in the East, drawing on the expertise of men such as Gottlieb Schumacher, and concluding with a proposed timeline of excavation and trade. The ancient trade route now known as "The Amber Road", is thoroughly examined from an archaeological standpoint, and makes links between civilizations, ultimately showing that pre-historic trade shaped the histories of the continent by the contact it induced among them. For example, the graves and antiquities of the Aunjetitz [Unetice] people settled along the Elbe river, contained antiquities of amber, most likely sourced in Jutland [the Cimbrian Peninsula] to the north. 8vo. 28 pages, plus a fold out color map for illustration. Map measures approximately 63,5 x 39 cm. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Excerpt from the introduction: "Apart from a few stray references we have no written records concerning Central Europe and its inhabitants before the time of Caesar and Tacitus... this report shows that the study of prehistoric amber finds, and their distribution, casts no little light on the human geography of that region during the second and the last millenium of the pre-Christian era. ...In prehistoric archaeology, concerned as it primarily is with the more material aspects of civilization, the study of trade relations is of peculiar importance..." End Excerpt. Amber is fossilized tree resin (not sap), which has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times, and valued from antiquity to the present as a precious gemstone. The Amber Road was an ancient trade route for the transfer of amber from coastal areas of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. Prehistoric trade routes between Northern and Southern Europe were defined by the amber trade. As an important raw material, sometimes dubbed "the gold of the north", amber was transported from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts overland by way of the Vistula and Dnieper rivers to Italy, Greece, the Black Sea, Syria and Egypt thousands of years ago, and long after.
