This popular layman's guide by one of the most prolific legal writers of eighteenth-century England went through ten English editions between 1736 and 1788. The mention of "All Manner of Persons" in the subtitle is significant. Jacob though certainly interested in boosting sales by attracting the widest audience possible was an idealist who believed that widespread knowledge of the law would help create a more just society. This is also evident in his other publications such as The Common Law Common-Placed 1726 and Treatise of Law. unknown books
179513033N.p. likely Maryland: January 20 1795. 2pp. with integral leaf addressed and docketed. Old mailing folds minor unobtrusive chipping to edges some old tape repairs some toning. Margins of address leaf reinforced with later sheet. Overall good condition. A document of almost pure irony in which a Maryland militia member who served for the government during the Whiskey Rebellion petitions the governor of Maryland for relief from a fine of 600 pounds of tobacco levied on him and his wife for.selling whiskey without a license. Apparently during the time in which Cable "was drafted to go against the insurgents and during his absence" Cable's wife "sold liquor for the support of her family to wit 3 small children." Upon his return from service and during the January 1795 term of the Baltimore County court Cable "was presented for selling liquors without license and was fined 600 lbs of Toba for said offence." Here Cable asks Governor Stone and the "Home Council" for forgiveness of the fine. <br /> <br /> It worked. According to a note on the verso signed by three "Justices of Baltimore County Court" they found "compassion" for Cable "in remitting the fine imposed as stated in the within Petition." Though the central issue of the Whiskey Rebellion was the 1791 excise tax on whiskey which angered farmers in western Pennsylvania enough to violently resist it it is some level of irony that Cable asks for mercy from the court for selling liquor without a license incurred while he was fighting the farmers resisting the whiskey tax.

1747RW1580London:: Printed by W. Innys T. Longman and T. Shewell C. Hitch and M. Senex 1747. 1747. 2 volumes. 4to. 4 lxxv 1 475 1; ii 389 33 pp. Original full calf raised bands calf gilt-stamped red & brown spine labels; joints cracked. Small rubberstamp on title. Very good. NICE CLEAN COPY. Sixth edition "greatly improved by the author" of 'sGravedande's extensive experimentation and instruction in Newtonian physics. The experiments range from basic physics to hydraulics optics electricity and astronomy. The entire work is profusely illustrated with folding engraved plates detailing among many other experiments and apparatuses a steam-powered Hero's Engine plate 78 a static electricity generator plate 79 the first magic lantern slide projector plate 109 the prismatic effect of a rainbow plate 120 and the known solar system plate 122. 'sGravesande "is the author of Elements de physique demonstres mathematiquement. . . ou introduction a la philosophie Newtonienne which was translated from the Latin and published at Leyden in 1746. In the second volume he gives a description of an electrical machine constructed on the plan of that of Hauksbee. It consisted merely of a crystal globe which was mounted upon a copper stand and against which was pressed the hand of the operator while it was made to revolve rapidly by means of a large wheel." Mottelay. / Willem Jacob 'sGravesande was a Dutch philosopher and mathematician. Born in 's-Hertogenbosch he studied law in Leiden and wrote a thesis on suicide. In 1715 he visited London and King George I. He became a member of the Royal Society. In 1717 he became professor in physics and astronomy in Leiden and introduced the works of his friend Newton in the Netherlands. He was ardently opposed to fatalists like Hobbes and Spinoza. In 1724 Peter the Great offered him a job in Saint Petersburg but 'sGravesande did not accept. His best remembered work is Physices elementa mathematica experimentis confirmata sive introductio ad philosophiam Newtonianam or Mathematical Elements of Natural Philosophy Confirm'd by Experiments Leiden 1720 in which he laid the foundations for teaching Newtonian physics. / 'sGravesande's chief original contribution to physics involved an experiment in which brass balls are dropped with varying velocity onto a soft clay surface. This demonstrated that a ball with twice the velocity of another would leave an indentation four times as deep that three times the velocity yielded nine times the depth and so on. He shared these results with Emilie du Châtelet who subsequently corrected Newton's formula E = mv to E = mv2. / 'sGravesande was also the owner of the oldest known magic lantern which was built around 1720 by Jan van Musschenbroek and is currently housed at the Museum Booerhave in Leiden. / "From the outset of his teaching both physics and astronomy 'sGravesande modeled his lectures on the example of Newton in the Principia and Opticks although in later years they incorporated other influences especially that of Boerhaave. Moreover he adopted from Keill and Desaguliers the notion of demonstrating to his classes the experimental proof of scientific principles accumulating an ever larger collection of apparatus as may be seen from successive editions of his Physics elementa mathematica experimentis confirmata. Sive introductio ad philosophiam Newtonianam Leiden 1720 1721. The scientific reputation of 'sGravesande is enshrined in this book which he constantly corrected and amplified in later editions. An 'official' English translation prepared by Desaguliers to whom copies of the Latin original were sent in haste was also issued in 1720 and 1721 and it passed through six editions. The booksellers Mears and Woodward printed a rival version under the name of John Keill. French translations appeared only in 1746 and 1747 but a critical review by L. B. Castel was published in the Memoires de Trevoux in May and October 1721. The book was at once welcomed by British and a number of German scholars." – DSB V p. 510.

1719ABC_48483Amsterdam: David Mortier 1719. Contemporary quarter brown sheepskin sewn on 5 supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine the title lettered in gold on the spine sprinkled paper sides red sprinkled edges. Royal folio. With a title-page in red and black with an engraved device a portrait of Erasmus in an elaborate cartouche with allegorical figures and 124 engraved architectural and sculptural illustrations on 109 numbered plates 6 double-page 103 full-page. First French edition of Van Campen's famous description of the Amsterdam City Hall the present day Royal Palace with more than a hundred plates of the architectural features and sculptures of the building including ground plans elevations and sections of the interior and exterior. Particularly impressive are the giant plates of the tympana which are more than 160 cm wide when fully unfolded. The work also includes the famous plate of the extraordinary cartographic mosaic floor of the Burgerzaal which shows the zodiac signs that were originally painted on the celestial map in the middle but are now no longer visible on the floor itself due to fading.The City Hall is the most famous and last major work by Jacob van Campen 1595-1657 the greatest Dutch architect of the 17th century. He began work on the design in 1640 and though the building opened in 1655 it was not actually completed until 1665. It was called "the eighth wonder of the world" at the time and is still considered the most important Dutch monument from the 17th century. It was designed to show off Amsterdam's wealth and magnificence. This is especially visible in the Burgerzaal the heart of the building which depicts Amsterdam as the centre of the world. The impressive mosaic floor with a celestial map in the centre and the two maps of both hemispheres of the world on either side symbolises that the world was at Amsterdam's feet. These maps are the largest ever made. They show Abel Tasman's then recent discoveries in Australia and Tasmania. Many discoveries from his second voyage remained otherwise unpublished until the end of the 17th century.The present work is the French edition of Van Campen's Afbeelding van 't stadt huys van Amsterdam 1664. The plates were drawn by Hubert Quiellinus 1619-1687 and Danckert Danckertsz. 1634-1666 and his father after drawings by Jacob Vennekool 17th century and were first published in Quiellinus' Prima et secunda pars praecipuarum . curiae Amstelrodamenis 1655-1663 and Afbeelding van 't stadt huys van Amsterdam in dartigh coopere plaaten . geteeckent door Jacob Vennekool 1661. As such most of the present engravings were published before the building was completed and may therefore reflect Van Campen's plan more closely than the finished building itself. The edges and corners of the boards are scuffed the spine has been rubbed with loss material old restoration at the head and foot of the spine. The text leaves are lightly browned the plates are very clean.l BAL 132; Berlin Kat. 2235; STCN 182312917 5 copies of which 1 incomplete; cf.
