Each Plate Has Small Glue Marks On Reverse Where They Were Tipped In To An Album. Antoine Arnauld 1612 - 1694 - Le Grand As Contemporaries Called Him To Distinguish Him From His Father - Was A French Roman Catholic Theologian Philosopher And Mathematician. He Was One Of The Leading Intellectuals Of The Jansenist Group Of Port-Royal And Had A Very Thorough Knowledge Of Patristics. He Was One Of The First To Adopt The Philosophy Of René Descartes Though With Certain Orthodox Reservations Relating To Meditations On First Philosophy; And Between 1683 And 1685 He Had A Long Battle With Nicolas Malebranche On The Relation Of Theology To Metaphysics. On The Whole Public Opinion Leant To Arnauld's Side. When Malebranche Complained That His Adversary Had Misunderstood Him Boileau Silenced Him With The Question: "My Dear Sir Whom Do You Expect To Understand You If M. Arnauld Does Not" Later Arnauld Was Engaged In An Extensive Correspondence With Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Regarding The Latter's Views Detailed In His "Discourse On Metaphysics" 1686. Popular Regard For Arnauld's Penetration Was Much Increased In His L'art De Penser Commonly Known As The Port-Royal Logic Which Kept Its Place As An Elementary Text-Book Until The 20Th Century And Is Considered A Paradigmatical Work Of Term Logic. Arnauld Came To Be Regarded As Important Among The Mathematicians Of His Time; One Critic Described Him As The Euclid Of The 17Th Century. After His Death His Reputation Began To Wane. Contemporaries Admired Him As A Master Of Intricate Reasoning; On This Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet The Greatest Theologian Of The Age Agreed With Henri François D'aguesseau The Greatest Lawyer. However His Eagerness To Win Every Argument Endeared Him To No One. "In Spite Of Myself" Arnauld Once Said Regretfully "My Books Are Seldom Very Short."Citation Needed. Despite Arnauld's Achievements In Various Fields His Name Is Mostly Known Because Of Pascal's Acclaimed Writings Which Were More Fit For The General Public Than Arnauld's Technical Essays.

Each Plate Has Small Glue Marks On Reverse Where They Were Tipped In To An Album. Antoine Houdar Or Houdart Of La Motte Born On January 17 1672 In Paris Where He Died On December 26 1731 Is A French Writer And Playwright . He Held An Important Place In The Literary Life Of His Time By His Writings And His Conceptions. In The Salon Of The Marquise De Lambert Whose La Motte Was One Of The Pillars With His Friend Fontenelle With Whom He Shared An Absence Of Prejudice And A Spirit Of Investigation The Question Was Considered Of Whether Versification Was Indispensable To Poetry. It Was Ultimately Thought That The Verse Rendered The Poet Slave With Superfluous Complicated And Harmful Rules Which Favored The Ankles And Periphrases And Hindered The True Expression Of Poetry. It Was Advocated To Return To The Sharpness And Firmness Of Prose Especially In The Theater For Reasons Of Naturalness. Houdar De La Motte Wanted To Demonstrate That Prose Could Very Well Serve Poetry. He Gave Fenelon's The Adventures Of Telemachus As An Example In This Sense And Put In Prose A Scene Of Mithridates Of Racine.His Reputation Today Rests On The Excellent Prose In Which He Expressed His Views Much Better Than His Verses Hard And Colorless. We Also Remember That He Refrained From Answering A Letter From Jean-Philippe Rameau Who Would Have Liked To Put One Of His Librettos To Music: Probably A Great Opportunity Missed By Houdar De La Motte. But More Than By His Productions It Is By His Role In The Movement Of Ideas And By The Important Place He Occupied In The Literary Life Of His Time That The Name Of Houdar De La Motte Has Reached Us. "He Proved According To Voltaire That In The Art Of Writing One Can Still Be Something In The Second Rank. "French Wikipedia. Gérard Edelinck 20 October 1640 Baptized - 2 April 1707 Was A Copper-Plate Engraver And Print Publisher Of Flemish Origin Who Worked In Paris From 1666 And Became A Naturalized French Citizen In 1675; His Son Nicolas-Etienne Edelinck Did This Engraving. <br/> <br/> unknown

1770161411770. Etching and engraving. Unfinished working proof. In fair condition with the exception of being trimmed within the platemark. Laid onto contemporary backing card. Tear along middle of image which has been expertly repaired. Some creases in image. A rare working proof by John Browne the celebrated English landscape engraver.<br/> <br/>One of the most esteemed English landscape engravers John Browne was born in Finchfield Essex in 1741. In 1756 he was apprenticed to the engraver John Tinney but then went to work for the influential landscape engraver William Woollett. It is believed that many of Woollett's most admired plates were in fact engraved by Browne. He devoted himself entirely to engraving landscape and genre scenes in particular after works by the French and Dutch masters. In 1770 he was elected an associate engraver of the Royal Academy exhibiting thirteen plates between 1767 and 1801. This stunning genre scene is a wonderful example of his skilled hand and a rare working proof. This intriguing print shows a unique step in the printmaking process before an image is ready for publication. Before the image is completed the engraver has printed a trial impression to view this stage of the engraved plate. It is incredibly rare to find prints in this unfinished experimental stage; impressions which were pulled as working proofs are unique and were almost never duplicated.<br/> <br/>Dictionary of National Biography. unknown books

The identity of Junius is open to question and debate and may never be finally resolved unless documents are found which establish his identity. On the other hand scholars now generally support the identification with Sir Philip Francis. "The case for Philip Francis first proposed by John Taylor in 1816 has established itself as by far the most probable though categorical proof is still not forthcoming" DNB. The Letters of Junius were the official letters that Junius collected refined and published in 1772.

1800ABC_495071800. In a contemporary wooden frame ca. 28.5 x 34 cm. Oil on canvas ca. 20.5 x 26.5 cm unsigned. A finely observed 19th-century oil study of a skate shown resting on a neutral background. The artist captures the texture and colour of the fish with careful attention to light and detail giving the work a quiet natural presence. Paintings like this were often made as studies from life reflecting the 19th-century interest in nature and everyday subjects. The restrained composition and subtle tones lend the piece a sense of calm realism. An appealing work that would suit both collectors of 19th-century painting and those interested in natural history or maritime subjects.A minor barely detectable dent near the bottom of the painting several cracks on the edges which are mostly hidden by the frame laid down on modern canvas. The frame shows traces of use. Otherwise in good condition. unknown
