92468Paris Badouin An 9 1801. . Second edition enlarged 4to 142 pp. 3 engraved plates contemporary half calf neatly rebacked a very good example.<br /> mba004 Descriptive geometry is the science of presenting a three dimensional object on a two dimensional plane. Gaspard Monge invented descriptive geometry. His methods allowed for accurate representation of objects including shadows and vanishing points. His methods were so important and revolutionary at the time that they were kept is a military secret. Using his formulae one could simplify the optimisation of 3 dimensional problems dramatically as well as send accurate representations of objects to allies depictions of fortifications were particularly useful at the time being the Napleonic era. This book was first published in 1795 as a series of lectures. The internal scholia indicate that it is a second edition. It includes all 3 projections.<br /><br />Monge was a fervent supporter of the revolution and intellectual rigour. He later led the production of the Description de l'Égypte wherein the accuracy of many of the depictions is testimony to his methods. Current applications of his breakthrough are numerous 3d films use his techniques of representation the calculation of stresses on surfaces and accurate architectural modelling follow from the ideas contained in these his early lectures.<br /> Paris, Badouin, An 9 [1801]. unknown

46577Hamburg: Gyula Trebitsch Produktion 1981. Manuscript. Hardcover. g to fine. Quarto. 1 19 19 leaves. Original black cloth with gilt lettering on cover and spine. The screenplay is based on the novel "Die Geschwister Oppermann" by Lion Feuchtwanger. Nineteen-page original screenplay in English at front accompanied by nineteen original b/w photographs 9 15/ x 7" pasted to cream heavy stock paper with brief captions. The screenplay was realized and aired as a TV miniseries in 1983.<br /> <br /> Telling the story of the family Oppenheim a dynasty in furniture manufacturing. The name of Feuchtwanger's original novel "Geschwister Oppenheim" was changed to "Geschwister Oppermann" due to the efforts of a German National Socialist with the same name who forced the name change. Therefore the third edition of the novel was published as "Die Geschwister Oppermann." The screenplay starts at the beginning of November of 1931 telling the tragic story of the family Oppermann in the years 1932 and 1933 against the backdrop of the Nazis taking power in Germany. The original photographs vividly represent the historic events including Hitler's arrival in Berlin riots demonstrations police action the election the boycott of Jewish business the Reichtagsbrand and a head shot of Lion Feuchtwanger in 1930 among others.<br /> <br /> Egon Monk 1927–2007 after serving in the German Air Force from 1943–1945 became an actor and joined the Berliner Ensemble as an assistant director. From 1954–1959 he worked for RIAS Berlin and for the NDR North German Broadcast after that. Monk won various Tele play Awards and the German Critics Association Award in 1988. His first realized project of "Senora Carrar's Rifles" by Bertolt Brecht in 1953 was a life television production for the East German Television.

Using only the brush and ink monks made their art using rapid and yet disciplined brush strokes. The paintings only took seconds to complete; they could not be retouched or corrected; each was finished when the brush left the paper. As might be imagined this style was particularly favored by the Zen schools. The paintings were used as a test for the state of enlightenment of the painter.Jung Kwang began to separate his art from this traditional school and with that separation came many questions about the value of his work. The controversies of his art continue to the present.Having introduced all sorts of new subjects into his paintings: bulls guardian figures roosters fish and more shocking penises on all the animals and even coming out of the head of Dharma it is little wonder that the traditionalists were horrified."--Introduction ; Jung Kwang's reputation as "The Mad Monk" is here fully represented by the use of color non-traditional brushes and pens even to the shocking photographs of him using his penis as th e brush on a series of paintings! ; he was ordained a monk in the Chongye Buddhist Order at Tong-do Monastery near Pusan in 1962 and practiced meditation under direction of Master Kuha and was later a member of the Chongye National Council as its art consultant but was then expelled in 1983 presumably for his movement away from traditional forms ; nonetheless there are many who would consider the paintings in this book enlightened visual Zen koans of a sublime nature ; SIGNED presentation by Jung Kwang from 1986 on the front ep ; folio bound in color pictorial stiff paper wrappers ; some wear but otherwise VG.

178544970Paris Moutard 1785. 4to. Extracted from "Mémoires fe Mathematique et de Physique Présentés à l'Academie des Sciences par divers Savans" Tome X. Pp. 511-550 a. 2 folded engraved plates. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this importent paper by the "greatest geometer of the century" in which he solves some main problems in coordinate geometry especially he introduced the "distant formula" for three dimensions years before it was used by Lagrange. He laid the foundation of a completely new branch of mathematics known as descriptive geometry. The paper was delivered already in 1771 but not published until 1785. "His first important original work was "Memoire sur les développées les rayons de courbure et différents genres d inflexions des courbes á double courbure" He published an extract from it in June 1769 in the Journal encycyclop´matiques and in October 1770 he finished a more complete version that he read before the Academie des Sciences in August 1771; the latter however was not published until 1785 Mémoires de mathématiques et de physique présentés á ’Academic par divers scavanns. By then some of the most important ideas in the memoir no longer seemed so original because Monge had employed them in other works published in the intervening years. Nevertheless this memoir is of exceptional interest for it presents most of the new conceptions that Monge developed in his later works as well as his very personal method of exposition which combined pure geometry analytic geometry and infinitesimal calculus."DSB. </em> unknown
179825<p><b>LEWIS'S "TO THE READER" EXPLAINS HIS AFRICAN SLAVE CHARACTER HIS "MISANTHROPIC NEGRO"</b></p><p><b>LEWIS Matthew Gregory "Monk". </b><i>The Castle Spectre: A Drama. In Five Acts. First Performed at the Theatre Royal Drury-Lane on Thursday December 14 1797. By M. G. Lewis M. P. Author of The Monk &c. </i> 8vo disbound pp. 103 1 ad. London: Printed for J. Bell 1798. <br /></p><p>First Edition. An extraordinary commercial success although not a universal favorite of the critics. To the critics who objected to his use of black slaves in a Gothic story he defended himself by saying that if he could "have produced the same effect by making my heroine blue blue I should have made her." "As far as Lewis's search for novelty and striking effects is concerned it is interesting to highlight the character of Hassan an African servant.Hassan is in Ormond's service because the earl has cruelly snatched him from his family and hating the white race that he considers responsible for his sufferences the black slave refuses to escape only because he is aware of his master's evil propensity to torture people around him. Lewis exploited this unusual figure to introduce something new and surprising in his play but also to underline the demonic instincts of the villain."-Bertrand Evans <b>Gothic Drama from Walpole to Shelley</b>1947 online. Lewis's <i>To The Reader </i>pp. 100-103 admits borrowing from other authors saying: "To the originality of character I make no pretence.but I shall not so readily give up my claim to novelty when I mention my misanthropic <i>Negro: </i>He has been compared to <i>Zanga </i>but Young's hero differs widely from what I meant in <i>Hassan.Hassan</i> is a man of violent passions and warm feelings whose bosom is filled with the milk of human kindness but that milk is soured by despair.he has lost everything even hope; he has no single object against which he can direct his vengeance and he directs it at large against mankind. He hates all the world.that heart was once feeling and kind." This Lewis's most famous play went into eight printed editions by the following year and a total of eleven by 1803. "A brilliant example of the more thrilling type of melodrama accompanied by music by Michael Kelly.The story tells how Osmond the villain captures Angela.Father Paul is based on Juliet's nurse and on Sheridan's Father Paul."-Nicoll <b>A History of English Drama 1660-1900 </b> vol. III pp. 99-100. The play was particularly indebted to <i>The Castle of Otranto The Mysteries of Udolpho </i>and<i>Die Räuber. </i> Coleridge described it as a "peccant thing of Noise Froth and Impermanence." Despite its lack of originality "it was an excellent vehicle for presenting a series of striking scenes of suspense or spectacle--the sudden appearance of the ghost in an atmosphere prepared by forebodings.Kemble and Mrs. Jordan were by all accounts superb in the leading roles.But the principle reason for its success was the appearance of the ghost in Act IV.Louis F.
