175491146À Paris, chez Cl. J.B. Bauche, 1754, in-8, front, [4]-233-[2] pp, 28 pl, Basane marbrée de l'époque, dos à nerfs et fleuronné, pièce de titre grenat, tranches rouges, L'une des premières monographies sur les oursins. Édition bilingue, comprenant la première édition française, traduite par Aubert de la Chesnaye-Desbois, et le texte latin en regard. L'ouvrage, paru pour la première fois en 1734 (Naturalis dispositio echinodermatum. Gdansk, Schreiber) devint rapidement une référence sur le sujet. Il est illustré de planches, dessinées d'après celles de l'édition originale et gravées par Maisonneulve : les 22 premières figurent les oursins provenant de la collection Klein ; les 6 autres ceux du cabinet du physicien et naturaliste Réaumur. L'auteur, le naturaliste prussien Jacob Theodor Klein (1685-1759), présente ici la description et la classification des oursins, pour lesquels il a forgé le nom "échinoderme" (peau avec piquants) ; il les divise en trois classes, selon la position de la bouche : anocystes, catocysthes et pleurocysthes. Klein basait sa méthode taxonomique, qu'il appliquait à toutes ses monographies, sur des caractéristiques externes ; il s'opposait en effet vigoureusement à toute autre méthode, y compris le système linnéen, reposant sur des caractères non visibles extérieurement (DSB).

Provenance: Mary Knowles contemporary signature on title - see below. A good copy with faults and priced accordingly. Was the "Mary Knowles" who first owned this 18th-century English translation of Boehme's first work the same as the well known English Quaker mystic poet feminist and abolitionist namely Mary Morris Knowles 1733-1807. While we have been unable to procure an autograph of Mary Morris Knowles with which to compare the two signatures if she did not own this particular copy of Boehme it is almost certain that she had in her library at least one of Boehme's texts.<br/><br/>This edition was published by Thomas Mills ca. 1735-1820 formerly a clerk in the one of the Countess of Huntington's chapels where he preached "in the Methodist way." It is not without interest that in 1778 Mills became a Quaker sic.<br/><br/>A German shoemaker turned mystic Boehme's writings found renewed interest in England during the late 18th century influencing Quakers Methodists and mystics alike William Blake in particular.

Shelved at Rockville Room A Ephemera. Page 1<br /> <br /> Rev. & Dear Sir<br /> <br /> After I had wrote my letter of Nov'r 1st in answer to yours of Aug't 12th which will probably accompany this I was told that it was not likely there wd. be an opportunity to Halifax till the Spring but as I am certified of an opportunity now presenting I will trouble you w'th another Letter to let you know how much I am at your service and that I have a feeling sympathizing heart for my distressed Brethren in America wishing most ardently that it was in my power to contribute anything to alleviate yours & others' sufferings and to reward that merit which most of our Clergy thank God are justly entitled to.<br /> But whatever Neglects we must here let us remember that our Reward is on high and let this animate us to Fidelity & Faithfulness and Perseverance therein under every Temptation & thro' every Trial.<br /> <br /> We have had Sir a long gloomy Day of Sufferings but for my part I cannot but think what I sincerely hope that the worst is past. I think I can discern some Vestiges or Symptoms of some fortunate Events for this Nation & some convincing tokens of Causes which will re-establish the British Monarchy & revive the Lustre of the British Government. In a word I think the Day is approaching & to my naked Eye it don't appear to be distant when Rebellion will fall like Lightning from Heaven.<br /> <br /> The Parliament Sir is lately convened. The-<br /> <br /> Page 2<br /> <br /> The first opening of it seems to be something ominous to the patriotic Faction; a Noble Lord & one of the chief speakers on the side of opposition in the House of Peers suddenly departed this Life at scarcely an Hour's warning two Days after the Parliament met. Mr. Ch. J. Fox whose oratorical abilities are well known was wounded in a duel & came near as I did learn to lose his Life about the same time. These Events together with the failure of all the Prophecies in the republican Papers - the Disasters of D'Estaing in his Fleets being wrecked & dispersed in a storm - The safety of the W. India Islands particularly Jamaica which was long ago announced to be taken - The inefficiency of the Spanish operations against Gibraltar - the great sickness & mortality which has carried off Thousands in the Camp of the Spaniards - the dissension between the Spaniards & French Admirals - the brave conduct of Sir Charles Hardy in maintaining the Sovereignty of the Channel & even riding triumphantly before Brest in spite of the Navy of France & Spain united - the Feuds & Animosities prevailing among the Rebels of America which betoken the Decline of their short lived Empire &c.<br /> <br /> These things Sir I say have greatly chagrined the Members of Opposition & have sunkly abated the matter whereupon they used to display their Eloquence in the Senate.<br /> <br /> You will excuse my enlarging here for having wrote you once before I did not intend a long Letter when I sat down but wd. only set you an Example if it may be allowed I who am professedly your Senior-<br /> <br /> Page 3<br /> <br /> -to do as I have done to miss no opportunity of writing to me which will afford much pleasure for I have few Correspondents these Days in America.<br /> <br /> Present my respectfull compliments to Mr. Weeks - he may depend upon it I shall not trouble him w'th writing to him; I wd. not have it too well known that I wrote to so many which I seldom have. I cannot think Mr. Th- & his Party will be so unwise as to create any trouble to him when they know that he is properly appointed Missionary of Annapolis & that the People must have him or none.<br /> <br /> Joseph Patten Esq. formerly an active man in that Mission and Representative for that County I think you must inasmuch as he once told me that he had often attended your Ministry. When you write let me know whether he be living & what part he takes in affairs publick & Parochial or write to him by Mr. Weeks.<br /> <br /> If you know Doctor Jeffries of Boston who lives at Halifax I think please to make my compliments to him & tell him that Capt. Hall Master of the Ship in which we went from London to Boston in 1769 is a Prisoner in France. He was taken in the Andromeda Man of War was next in Command to Capt. Boteler.<br /> <br /> No more but that I am yours with Sincerity and Esteem.<br /> <br /> W. Clark<br /> <br /> Rev'd Mr. Bailey -. 1402959. Special Collections - Upstairs. unknown
