1785267711785. Very Good. Engraving of A View of Karakakooa in Owyhee. Remargined paper size 15 1/4 x 10 3/4 inches 38.5 x 27.3 cm. Professionally remargined and laid down on tissue by Green Dragon bindery. We think the first edition of this engraving was created by John Webber engraved by W. Byrne and published in the atlas plate 68 to accompany "A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean London: W. and A. Strahan for G. Nicol 1784."<br/><br/>This example is smaller lightly tinted and rather than being engraved by Byrne is marked "Taylor sculp" lower right. In pencil it is marked on rear "opposite p. 577 Cooks' Voyages 1785 edition". We have been unable to trace to our satisfaction exactly where this engraving was published. It is nonetheless a famous scene and desirable to those who collect voyages Hawaii and the location where Captain Cook eventually died. unknown books

74925De L'Imprimerie Royale - De L'imprimerie Impériale Paris 1781-1812 2 ouvrages reliés en 2 volumes in-8 ( 200 X 135 mm ) de 599 et 303 pages, demi-basane fauve, dos lisses ornés de filets, palettes et fleurons dorés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de basane anthracite. 1 Planche dépliante. EDITION ORIGINALE du grand traité de PARMENTIER sur la Pomme de Terre: "Recherches sur les végétaux nourrissans, qui, dans les temps de disette, peuvent remplacer les aliments ordinaires. Avec de nouvelles observations sur la culture des Pommes de terre". La planche représente le moulin-râpe pour extraire l'amidon des tubercules. Oberlé, Fastes de Bacchus, n°693 "... pain de pomme de terre, levain, pâte, gruau, salep et sagou de pomme de terre, recettes de pommes de terre..." - Vicaire, 657 - Poggendorff II, 362.Le second texte: "Le maïs ou blé de Turquie apprécié sous tous ses rapports", est en seconde édition augmentée, mais en fait la première destinée à la vente. Comme PARMENTIER le dit lui-même dans son avertissement, il avait fait éditer ce texte une première fois en 1785 mais à si petit nombre que personne n'a pu le lire! C'est le premier ouvrage consacré au maïs en Europe. Reliures frottées, anciennes mouillures claires sur quelques feuillets au tome 1. Bon exemplaire de cette rare réunion.

The scarce third edition of this important and immensely popular cookery book by Hannah Glasse dated from 1748 as per ESTC. 330 pages. All publication information was taken from ESTC Reference T163724. First published in 1747. This cookbook was extremely popular upon publication and ran through at least forty editions some unauthorised. Written in plain and simple language for servants to understand and follow instructions easily it contains various useful hints for the kitchen with numerous recipes and techniques such as roasting boiling simple dishes for dinner dressing soups side dishes puddings sausages and more.Including directions for the sick and on distilling as well as such recipes to keep bugs away. Oberlé notes that the author "Severely condemns the extravagance of French cooking" although some French recipes are included in this book. Including an extensive list of subscribers at the front of the book. This copy has benefitted from a recent sympathetic and sumptuous re-bind in half brown morocco with title in gold to red label on panel 2.

In 8° antico, leg. coeva piena pergamena lievemente raggrinzita con cuffia scoperta, antiche firme sul piatto, impresa tip. al front., ppnn 24, 898, 28, due piccolissime asp. al margine inf. delle prime due cc. I dotti a banchetto è una erudita compilazione è impostata in forma dialogica, la conversazione s'immagina svolta tra dotti greci e romani convitati nella casa di Larenzio. Prendendo spunto dal convito platonico il banchetto non è che un pretesto per divulgare i più reconditi aspetti della cultura greca. Ciascun dotto rappresenta una parte del sapere e prendendo motivo dalle portate fanno sfoggio della loro erudizione. Nell'opera sono citati oltre 1000 manoscritti scomparsi ed oltre 500 lavori teatrali. Importantissimo è il materiale informativo sul cibo e sulle bevande, ma da non trascurare le notizie sui giochi, le danze, la musica e la filosofia. Importante documentazione in genuino esemplare mai manipolato. Vicaire, 50; Simon, Bacchica, II, 59; Paleari p. 45.
