This is the Trade Edition printed on "Van Gelder azure hand-made paper" as stated on the page preceding the preface. The publisher Charles Carrington 1857–1921 was a leading British publisher of erotica in late-19th- and early-20th-century Europe. He was notorious for producing legitimate literary works to mask his activities making erotica and pornography. This is certainly an unusual book described in the ad previously mentioned above - "In which certain information regarding the personal hygiene of Royalty not generally accorded the privilege of publication in ordinary books is printed". Or in modern parlance disturbing and sometimes disgusting essays on the unusual medical conditions of notable and royal personages of the time. A very handsome vintage First Edition of a most unusual book.LOC SSS-18 Charles Carrington hardcover

Lithographed throughout. 4 I–XII I–IX 1 1–63 1 1–210 p. <p><br /> Extremely scarce documentation of the topographical survey and the design of the navigation on the entire length of the Tagus River. Both volumes in original wrappers.<br /> <p><br /> <p><br /> The Napoleonic Wars and the loss of the American colonies resulted in a political turmoil and economic disaster in Spain in the first half of the 19th century. A shift in the economics and the modernization of the country seemed to be the path to overcome the crisis. Among many signs of progress an attempt was to make the Tagus River Rio Tajo the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula navigable by steamships on its entire length from Aranjuez to Lisbon to facilitate the transport of people and goods thus strengthen the country’s internal market.<br /> <p><br /> <p><br /> The plan was designed by Francisco Javier de Cabanes 1781–1834 a multitalented Spanish military historian in cooperation with an engineer AgustÃn Marco-Artu. Although the plan has never been realized the present work shows Cabanes' profound and systematic preparations. The text volume contains a prologue and detailed indexes and the sixty-three pages of the report on the project “Memoria relativa á la navegacion del Rio Tajo†which is divided into twelve sections and the conclusion exposing the advantages and the obstacles of the plan and the possibilities of its realization. This part is followed by the appendix the most extensive part of the book with extraordinary value. It contains a collection of 177 documents related to the plans and survey of the navigability of Tagus from the earliest attempt by Juan Bautista Giovanni Battista Antonelli in 1581–1582 through Luis Carduchi’s and Carlos Simón Pontero’s surveys in 1641 and 1755 to Cabanes’ own survey executed by AgustÃn Marco-Artu in 1828. The maps of 1641 1755 and the 1828 surveys with short explanations are included in the lithographed atlas.<br /> <p><br /> <p><br /> Both volumes are preserved in their original wrappers which is remarkably rare and particularly significant especially in the case of the atlas as the Paris imprint of Engelmann is only indicated on its cover. In many collections the two volumes are bound together thus this information became lost and the lithographed maps are attributed to Miguel de Burgos in Madrid the printer of the text volume. The text tome is bound into blue paper the panels are framed with an ornamental double-rule. The front is illustrated with a steamer the rear panel with naval equipment as an allusion to its content.<br /> <p><br /> <p><br /> Ref.: Palau 38563.<br /> <p><br /> <p><br /> Bibl.: López Gómez A.: La navegación por el Tajo.
