17793689<b>Scarce Contemporary Stony Point Battle Plan</b><br /><br />This rather crude woodcut depicts a battle plan of General "Mad Anthony" Wayne's daring and dramatic capture of the British fortification at Stony Point about 30 miles up the Hudson River from New York City. The battle planned in detail by Washington took place around midnight on July 16 1779. <br /><br /> The lower portion of the battle plan includes a four item key: "A. The British Fortress B. Abattes abatis in front C. The Reserve D. The detached Party who stormed the Works." Nebenzahl's <i>A Bibliography of Printed Battle Plans of the American Revolution 1775-1795</i> cites only a 1784 London-printed battle plan by Faden for the Stony Point engagement #145. The offered plan is not noted by Nebenzahl was published in America and was issued five years earlier than the Faden plan. The<i> Bickerstaff's Boston Almanack</i> for 1780 would almost certainly have been published in November or December of 1779 – within six months of the actual battle. <br /><br /> A very scarce almanac in the trade. Auction records indicate the most recent copy sold at the Gutman sale in 2005 for $4800. Prior to that Swann sold an example in 1979. <br /><br /><b>References:</b> For the almanac: Evans: 16287; Drake: 3290.

17444109Turin Italy: Stamperia Reale 1744. Very good. Huge letterpress broadside 1070 x 360 mm printed on 2 1/2 folio sheets edges untrimmed. A few sections underlined and annotated in a contemporary hand in the left blank margin worn; paper extensions mainly in the right margin; prominent horizontal central fold other folds reinforced on verso with occasional lost of one or two letters. A remarkable survival preserved in mylar L-sleeve backed with lig-free board. GIGANTIC APPARENTLY UNRECORDED BROADSIDE ISSUED BY THE STATE MAGISTRATE WARNING AGAINST THE 1744 "CATTLE PLAGUE" EPIDEMIC IN NORTHERN ITALY A FLIMSY ATTEMPT AT GOVERNMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND DISEASE CONTROL. <br /> <br /> The disease described herein was almost certainly RIDERPEST a highly contagious viral infection which can produce a 100% death rate among herds the colloquial term "cattle plague" is a misnomer because sheep and goats can also be afflicted by it. <br /> <br /> The 1744 outbreak had been observed in The Netherlands in the months before our broadside was printed but the Magistrate mentions only the reports from Franche Comté. While the devating consequences of cattle plague in The Netherlands are well researched its effects in Italy at this same time are not well-known probably due to the comparatively low survival rate of contemporary documentation. <br /> <br /> Indeed no other copy of our broadside can be found. Here the Magistrate of the Conservatory General of Health gives warning signs of the infection and preventative measures against its spread including mandatory "lazarettos" quarantine areas for livestock. The "nature and the signs" of the disease is addressed along with a dubious and ineffectual attempt at a remedy which involved cold water salt vinegar pepper and camphor; "Rimedi preservativi" prophylactic measures are recommended and steps for "fumigating" i.e. disinfecting livestock and their owners are given. <br /> <br /> The urgency of Magistrate's is justified: less than 30 years earlier through circuitous trade routes cattle plague had spread like wildfire even the most remote regions of Eastern and Western Europe and Britain. Such trade networks had become larger and more sophisticated in order to supply food to growing urban centers.<br /> <br /> Throughout history outbreaks of cattle plague led to severe economic crisis: the resulting famine inflation civil unrest and overall moral decay destabilized societies with crippling effect as had been seen in The Netherlands in the first outbreak of 1713-1720. Wherever and whenever cattle plague emerged religious figures government officials technocrats and the public wrested with the meaning and consequences of these disasters.<br /> <br /> Students and scholars of socio-economics in the Early Modern era would do well do incorporate primary sources of veterinary history in their research.<br /> <br /> NB: Interested parties are advised that this huge broadside will be shipped folded.

Dezember 1728 in Brugg; 7. Oktober 1795 in Hannover war ein Schweizer Arzt Gelehrter Philosoph und Schriftsteller der seit 1768 in Hannover wirkte. Zimmermann begegnete mehrmals Goethe. Sein Hauptwerk Über die Einsamkeit in dem das damals aktuelle Thema der Melancholie eine große Rolle spielt erschien 1784/85 und machte Zimmermann im damaligen gebildeten Europa weithin bekannt. Die russische Zarin Katharina II. erhob ihn 1786 in den Ritterstand. Sie lud ihn auch an ihren Hof in Sankt Petersburg ein eine Einladung der er aber nicht nachkam. In seinen letzten Lebensjahren entwickelte sich Zimmermann zum Gegner der Aufklärung. Wikipedia Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann / Johann Georg Zimmermann 8 December 1728 in Brugg Aargau 7 October 1795 in Hanover was a Swiss philosophical writer naturalist and physician. He studied at Göttingen where he took the degree of a doctor of medicine and established his reputation by the dissertation De irritabilitate 1751. After traveling in the Netherlands and France he practised as a physician in Brugg and wrote Über die Einsamkeit "Of solitude" 1756 178485 and Vom Nationalstolz "Of national pride" 1758. These books made a great impression in Germany and were translated into almost every European language. In Zimmermann's character there was a strange combination of sentimentalism melancholy and enthusiasm; and it was by the free and eccentric expression of these qualities that he excited the interest of his contemporaries. Another book by him written at Brugg Von der Erfahrung in der Arzneiwissenschaft "Of experience in pharmacology" 1764 also attracted much attention. In 1768 he settled at Hanover as private physician of George III with the title of a Hofrat. Catherine II invited him to the court of St Petersburg but this invitation he declined. He attended Frederick the Great during that monarch's last illness and afterwards issued various books about him of which the chief were Über Friederich den Grossen und meine Unterredung mit ihm kurz vor seinem Tode "On Frederick the Great and my conversation with him shortly before his death" 1788 and Fragmente über Friedrich den Grossen "Fragments on Frederick the Great" 1790. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition "these writings display extraordinary personal vanity and convey a wholly false impression of Frederick's character." Wikipedia hardcover

1754315<p><strong>Life expectancy</strong> is a statistical measure of how long a person or organism may live based on the year of thei birth yheir current age and other demographic factors including gender. At a given age life expectancy is the average number of years that is likely to be lived by a group of individuals of age xexposed to the same mortality conditions until they die.Mathematically life expectancy is the mean number of years of life remaining at a given age assuming constant mortality rates.Longevity and life expectancy are not synonyms. Life expectancy is defined statistically as the average number of years remaining for an individual or a group of people at a given age Longevity refers to the characteristics of the relatively long life span of some members of a population. Moreover because life expectancy is an average a particular person may well die many years before or many years after their "expected" survival. The term "maximum life span"has a quite different meaning and is more related to longevity. Wikipedia</p><p>The methodology for determining life expectncy has evolved over the years. The accuracy of the projections has a pronounced effect on both the societal and economic interests of individuals and governments. The two papers here descibe some of the work done in the 18th century to evaluate and improve the estimates of life expectancy.
