171521226London 1715. Broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Ornamental initial. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Some foxing. A rare political leaflet petitioning Parliament for relief of warrant officers who had fought in the recent War of the Spanish Succession. In March 1715 the House of Commons ordered that a list of all the regimental and warrant officers be drawn up but by the time of this document's printing numerous warrant officers had not been entered into the list and rumors had begun to circulate that they would therefore not be receiving expected compensation for their service. "Besides the Nature of several of the Warrant Officers Posts was such as they could not be put on a Regimental List viz. Directors of Hospitals Commissaries Officers who have lost their Limbs and many other Officers whose particular Hardships Pretensions and Disappointments are more at large set forth and specify'd in their several Warrants. So that their Condition is very deplorable." This is among the earliest examples of lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715.

Cavendish's paper: pp. 1-62. the torsion balance of Michell shown on the plates. <br/><br/><em>First German edition of Cavendish's famous paper in which he calculated the weight of the earth and determined its mass. He also as the first observed gravitational motion of minute portions of matter. He estimates the earth's mass to 66 x 10 to the potential of 24 kg. The original paper "Experiments to determine the Density of the Earth" appeared in Philosophical Transaction 1798."Cavendish published five papers between 1784 and 1809.With one exception they were comparatively minor productions.The exception was his determination of the density of the earth or weighing of the world in 1798 by means of John Michell's torsion balance. The apparatus consisted of two lead balls on either end of a suspended beam; these movable balls were attracted by a pair of stationary lead balls. Cavendish calculated the the force of attraction between the balls fro the observed period of oscillation of the balance and deduced the density of the earth from the force. He found it to be 5.48 times that of water. Cavendish was the first to observe gravitational motions induced by comparatively minute portions of ordinary matter.By weighing the world he rendered the law of gravitation complete. The law was no longer a proportionally statement but a quantitatively exact one; this was the most importent addition to the science of gravitation since Newton."DSB III p. 158.The issue contains further papers by Ritter Chladni et al. </em> unknown

"The author lay down a theory according to which the cause of electrical phenomena is the effluence and affluence of a subtile fluid which is everywhere present. Some interesting experiments are described with vacuum tubes also on the influence of electric charges on the growth of plants." Wheeler 355 but not listing this edition. - Poggendorff II:296."Nollet's system effluence and affluence was much superior to earlier theories of double flux. such as Moliere's or Hauksbee's. A cheif difficulty with them as with the theory of pulsating atmospheres had been to explain why attraction occurs first.follwed by contact and then repulsion. Nollet answered that the effluent and affluent flows differ not only in direction but in velocity and spatial distribution as well.The effluent stream consists of many jets each of which spreads out into a cone with apex at one of the scattered exit pores. The affluent current being a hodgepodge of differently directed effluent streams is approximately isotropic."Heilbron p. 284 </em> hardcover

17920010124Good with no dust jacket. 1792. Ephemera. On offer is a superb document drawn on September 22 1792 the very first official day of the French Republic République française founded following the French Revolution. In the aftermath of the Revolution of 1789 and the abolition of the monarchy the First Republic of France was established on September 22 of 1792. The National Convention was made up of groups representing differing political outlooks. At their first meeting the Convention decided to try King Louis XVI for treason based on his attempt to flee the country the previous year. They later found him guilty and executed him on January 21 1793. September 22 1792 was also established as the beginning date of the new Revolutionary Calendar. This document is a record of some of the minutes of that first convention and are dated September 22nd the first day of the new government. It is titled: Extract Du Proces-Verbal De La Convention National Relatif au renouvellement des Corps administrifs municipaux et judicairesTranslation: Extract From The Minutes Of The National Convention Relative to the renewal of the administrative municipal and judicial bodiesIt opens with a recording of these motions: Un membre fait la motion que toutes les administrations et tribunaux soient renouveles. Un autre demande que les operations faites a cet egard par les corps electoraux soient confirmes. Plusiers autres membres insistent pour que toutes les administations soient renouvelees et qu'il soit fait au repport prochain sur l'existance et laformation des tribunauxTranslation: A member makes the motion that all the administrations and courts be renewed. Another asks that the operations made in this respect by the electoral bodies be confirmed. Several other members insist that all the administrations be renewed and that the existence and formation of the courts be reported soon. The next few pages go on to detain other proposals and requests generally concerning legal matters. The document bears the printed signature of Monge and Garat. Gaspard Monge was a Minister of State serving as Minister of the Navy and Colonies. Interestingly Monge was a noted matheematician and founder of Differential Geometry. Garat was Dominique Joseph Garat Minister of the Interior. These minutes were ordered printed and distributed throughout France and this copy was sent to the City of Nancy in the north east of France. For a historian or a collector of material from the earliest days of the French Revolution this is a superb item documenting the earliest efforts of the French people to establish a republican government separate from the monarchy and the feudal system. The document measures 9.0 inches by 7.0 inches and is folded to make 4 pages. The printed text occupies all 4 pages and it bears not only a printed signature but also a fairly solid hand signature. When it was printed the paper was not placed squarely on the press and therefore the text is not aligned perfectly horizontal. The page bears the initial stamp of the new government displaying the Phrygian cap or liberty cap that was adopted as a symbol of the revolution. The paper is in good condition with some slight staining from dampness and age.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 4 pages; Signed by Author .

Variant title: Observations on the Antiquities of the Island of Anglesey xi 5 357 3 p. 1 XII leaves of plates : ill. map ; 4 . ESTC citation T139796. Rowlands devoted himself to the investigation of stone circles cromlechs and other prehistoric remains especially those of his native county his hypothesis being that Anglesey was the ancient metropolitan seat of the Druids. "Owen Glendower was a Welsh leader soldier and military commander in the Late Middle Ages who led a 15-year-long revolt with the aim of ending English rule in Wales. He was an educated lawyer forming the first Welsh parliament under his rule and was the last native-born Welshman to hold the title Prince of Wales.1 In 1400 Owain Glynd r a descendant of several Welsh royal dynasties had a dispute with a neighbouring English lord that resulted in Glynd r claiming his ancestral title of Prince of Wales which instigated the revolt against English rule. In response to the uprising discriminatory penal laws were implemented against the Welsh people; this deepened public unrest and significantly increased support for Glynd r across Wales. In 1404 after a series of successful castle sieges and several battlefield victories against the English Owain gained control of the country and was officially crowned Prince of Wales in the presence of French Spanish Scottish and Breton envoys. He summoned a national parliament where he announced plans to reintroduce the traditional Welsh laws of Hywel Dda establish an independent Welsh church and build two universities. Owain formed an alliance with King Charles VI of France; in 1405 a French army landed in Wales to support the rebellion. Under Owain Glynd r's leadership an internationally recognised independent Welsh state was briefly established. It lasted for five years until February 1409 when English forces captured Owain's last remaining strongholds of Aberystwyth Castle and Harlech Castle effectively ending his territorial rule in Wales. Glynd r refused to surrender to the new king Henry V ignoring two offers of a pardon from the monarch. He retreated to the Welsh hills and mountains with his remaining forces where he continued to resist English rule by utilising guerrilla tactics. This continued until Owain disappeared in 1415 when one of his supporters Adam of Usk recorded that he died of natural causes.2 Despite the large bounty placed on him by the English crown Glynd r was never betrayed or captured and in Welsh culture he acquired a mythical status alongside the likes of Cadwaladr Cynon ap Clydno and King Arthur as a folk hero awaiting the call to return and liberate his people - "Y Mab Darogan" 'The Foretold Son'.3 In William Shakespeare's play Henry IV Part 1 he appears as the character Owen Glendower."

Additional engraved title depicting a series of engravings.

Title-page with engraved printer's device showing a man working the soil with the Holy Spirit shining over him. Decorated initials and tailpiece. First published in German in 1603 Johannes Buxtorf's “Jewish Synagogue†is a guide to Jewish thought culture and ritual observances. Buxtorf goes through Jewish daily practices such as the wearing of phylacteries reciting prayers and the keeping of kosher as well as Jewish holidays such as the Sabbath New Moon High Holidays Tabernacles Passover and Purim. The work transliterates many Hebrew and Aramaic terms and offers translations of two Sabbath hymns. Buxtorf also gives a history of Jewish thought from biblical times to his day. In terms of sources Buxtorf quoted extensively from the Old Testament and New Testaments but also used classic rabbinic sources such as the Talmud and Midrashim as well as medieval and early modern sources such as Isaac Alfasi Solomon Yarchi Abraham ibn Ezra David Kimchi Bahya ben Asher Judah the Pious' “Sefer Hasidim†Isaac Aboab Elias Levita's "Bovo-Bukh†and Joseph Kairo's "Shulchan Aruch.†Buxtorf also made use of kabbalistic explanations for various Jewish practices. Also includes a dialogue between a Jew and a Christian in which the Christian responds to the Jew's attacks on Christianity. Foreword for the Christian reader. Passage from Martin Luther on the Jews. Printed notes in the margins giving sources and translations of terms. Four foldout copper plate engravings showing the lifting up of the Torah in a synagogue a Passover Seder Jews parading with palm branches and citrons during Tabernacles and a bride and groom standing under a wedding canopy. While often hostile Buxtorf's work stands as the most scholarly early modern Christian treatment of Jews and remained the chief source for Christian information on Jews through the Enlightenment.
