1782K1VFD9JN4VH6St. Petersburg 1782. Small folio 29.5 x 19.5 cm. Imperial Academy of Sciences Disbound. Treaty between Russia and Denmark in Russian and French in 2 parallel columns in cyrillic left and roman right types. 22 pp. Very rare first edition in Russian and French of a treaty for friendship and commerce concluded at St Petersburg negotiated between Tsarina Catherine the Great of Russia and King Christian VII of Denmark. The relationship between the two countries had become hostile after Peter III became the Russian Tsar in 1762. His descent from Holstein-Gottorf led to territorial conflicts between the two powers and even to a threat of war. When Catherina II took the throne their relation stabilized. In 1765 they made an alliance and in the 1773 Treaty of Tsarskoe Selo Russia returned Schleswig-Holstein to Denmark in exchange for Russian control over the Duchy of Oldenburg. The present treaty emphasizes the "peace" and "eternal friendship" between Russia and Denmark and gives specific conditions for trade.Old vertical crease from a former fold first and last leaf lightly soiled and spotted and the sewing has partly come loose but still in good condition.l KVK & WorldCat 2 copies; G.F. von Martens Recueil des principaux traités .

Internally clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First full exposition of Röntgen's discovery of X-rays the foundation stones of roentgenology unveiling a new form of matter and offering a new revolutionary method for medical diagnosis.In order to ensure priority for his discovery Röntgen first published the two first papers Erste-Zweite Mittheilung as offprints from "Sitzungsberichte der Physikalisch-medicinischen Gesellschaft zu Würtzburg" in 1895-96 but his discovery only finds its full form in the offered papers as "Dritte Mittheilung" appears here."Aside from its obvious applications Roentgen's discovery galvanized the world of physics and led to a rash of further discoveries that so completely overturned the old concepts of the science that the discovery of X-rays is sometimes considered the first stroke of the Second Scientific Revolution. The First Scientific Revolution is of course that which included Galileo and his experiments on falling bodies. Within a matter of months investigations of X rays led to the discovery of radioactivity by Becquerel.The importence of the discovery was well recognized in its own time. In 1896 Roentgen shared the Rumford Medal with Lenard and in 1901 when Nobel Prizes were set up.the first to be honoured with a Nobel Prize in Physics was Roentgen."

On offer is a charming original manuscript relic of one American woman's war service in support of her country being a birthday memory book and autograph album kept by a beloved World War II parachute rigger named Jenny. There are about 40 entries and most were done in late May 1944 by many of her co-workers and a few from sailors and other enlisted men and officers she knew.

Ex-General Theological Library with small ink stamp in upper margin on verso of title page. Overall still very good. Following swiftly on the heels of the Suwanee Convention of Southern Bishops in late July 1883 a large gathering of clergy and laymen met in New York City to organize the work of the Afro-American clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church. It was a historic moment and "of the forty-two Colored Clergy of the United States only four had responded to the call in the negative and three others had failed to respond." A Committee was formed chaired by Alexander Crummell to draft a statement to the Church in America. Here the Committee calls attention "to the moral disasters which have come to our race through slavery – how family life parental authority and marriage integrity have been broken down by servitude" and issues a call for "an extraordinary effort for the erection of Churches throughout the South" especially in the large urban centers. In addition to the proceedings the work includes a "Sermon on Church Work by the Colored People" by Rev. Thomas A. Starkey the Bishop of Northern New Jersey a brief Finance Committee Report and concludes with the "Regulations of the Women's Auxiliary of the Convocation of the Colored Clergy." The latter is comprised of five articles and an addendum plus a listing of twenty women belonging to the New York and Newark branches of the organization. A scarce work with just over a dozen institutional copies. Not in Blockson.<br /> <br /> Library Company Afro-Americana 8507A. Starbuck & Dunham, Book and Job Printers unknown

A very early engraved portrait of Sir Francis Drake.<br/> <br/> A clean impression of the second state of this famous portrait of Sir Francis Drake at age forty-three shortly after he returned from circumnavigating the globe the basis for most of the later images of him. The image is taken from a portrait purportedly painted from life by Jean Rabel the Elder and is said to be a credible likeness of the famed navigator. The legend beneath the portrait indicates the dates of Drake's circumnavigation listing Rabel as the painter and Thomas de Leu as the engraver. Thomas de Leu 1560-1612 a pupil of Rabel's moved to Paris around 1576 and became one of the most noted portrait engravers of his time. This engraving of Drake was the basis for many later images of him including the well-known engravings by Jodocus Hondius and Crispin van de Passe.
