1775371623Philadelphia: James Humphreys 1775. First edition. 4 iv 25 1pp. 8vo. Later wrappers. Perforated stamp on title and terminal leaves. First edition. 4 iv 25 1pp. 8vo. Revolutionary-era sermon dedicated to George Washington in which Duché urges the people of Philadelphia to stand fast despite the unnaturalness of being in conflict with their fellow British subjects. "We venerate the Parent Land from whence our progenitors came.But if we are to judge from the late ungenerous and ill-digested plans of policy which have been adopted by those whom she hath entrusted with the powers of Administration we cannot but think that they began to be jealous of our rising glory and from an ill-grounded apprehension of our aiming at independency were desirous of checking our growth." <br /> Jacob Duché 1737-98 was born in Philadelphia and educated there before studying at Cambridge University. He returned to Philadelphia and eventually became rector of Christ Church. His early zeal for the revolutionary cause was such that he was appointed chaplain to the Continental Congress. After the Declaration of Independence and the capture of Philadelphia by General Howe Duché had a change of heart and wrote George Washington asking him to urge Congress to recall the Declaration and negotiate a peace. He was branded a traitor by his former followers and went into exile in Great Britain before returning to his beloved Philadelphia in 1792 to live out his final years.

First edition in English; first printed in Leiden in 1727 as Matheseos universalis elementa. "This work translated into Dutch 1728 and English 1752 sic is of didactic rather than original merit but it was significant for its invitation to mathematicians to elucidate systematically Newton's Universal Arithmetick which 'sGravesande exemplified by his own explanation of two passages from Newton's book. 'sGravesande found the lighthearted treatment of infinitesimals and the infinite in Bernard de Fontenelle's Elemens de la geometrie de l'infini Paris 1727 unacceptable and he maintained his objections in the Journal litteraire against Fontenelle's rejoinder 1730." – DSB V p. 510.

1782188151Rome: apud Antonium Fulgonium 1782. Ancient Arabic coins and the early study of the Kufic script First edition of this well-illustrated work on ancient Arabic numismatics in Kufic script - "one of the works which traditionally mark the birth of Arabic palaeography" D'Ottone - studying and illustrating the renowned collection of antiquities of Cardinal Stefano Borgia 1731-1804. Jacob Georg Christian Adler 1756-1834 studied Coptic Syriac and Arabic manuscripts and artefacts across Europe. His introduction to this work summarizes the state of the art in the field of Arabic numismatics quoting sources based on the study of major collections of ancient Arabic coins in Italy Spain England Germany Holland and Denmark. He mentions important scholars in the field including the traveller Carsten Niebuhr who visited places in modern-day Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Adler discusses the origin antiquity and ornaments of Arabic coins reproducing the original Arabic inscriptions. He noted that Muslims do not represent the Prophet Muhammad and God figuratively; thus unlike in Europe Arabic coins also do not bear rulers' effigies. A section is devoted to observations on the Kufic script diacritics and other philological observations. The following sections provide textual descriptions of the Arabic inscriptions on the coins Adler examined including those of the Abbasid Fatimid Ayyubid Seleucid Turkman and Atabeg dynasties from the Middle East and Spain. He also examined Arabic coins produced by Christians especially in Sicily under King Roger and his successors and provides a bilingual text on Arabo-Islamic coins and their history taken from a manuscript at El Escorial a text on Arabic seals and another on Druze coins. The detailed plates reproduce the Kufic script 101 Arabic coins both sides 6 Arabic seals and Druze idols and monumental inscriptions. After the success of this ground-breaking volume Adler published an additional one in 1793 based on new acquisitions by Borgia. Folio 280 x 200 mm pp. VI 2 172.

1751181135Lisbon: J. Bertrand and Sons after 1751. Early English grammar for Portuguese speakers Scarce first edition in Portuguese of this pocket English grammar book for Portuguese students in a contemporary Portuguese binding. Jacob de Castro Sarmento 1690-1762 was a Portuguese converso who after a degree in medicine moved to London in 1721 where he spent several decades. He first published his grammar in London in 1731 - "the earliest English grammar published expressly for the use of Portuguese learners" Marinho p. 139 - at a time when the Portuguese were becoming increasingly interested in learning English for business and commerce. The edition in English was reprinted several times in London. The work begins with sections on pronunciation capitalization punctuation and prosody then continues with grammar and syntax employing the terminology typically used for inflected languages. The final part comprises simple bilingual dialogues and a glossary of verbs grouped by semantic field. An appended section provides bilingual templates on "letters on business or mercantile affairs" such as bills of exchange or receipts. An ownership inscription on the initial blank reads: "Rob. Wm. Patrick / November 14th / 1805 / St Salvador" plausibly Col. Robert William Patrick c.17831809 born in Dublin Ireland. Patrick served in the Anglo-Portuguese Army during the Peninsular War and died at about age 26 defending the bridge at Amarante Porto. St Salvador was the contemporary English name for what is now Salvador Bahia Brazil. Provenance: Stephen C. Massey. Small octavo 140 x 100 mm pp. 8 269 1.

1719F5OGBDYNZ8OAAmsterdam: Gerard Valk 1719. Very large engraved folding plan comprising 1 1/2 sheets measuring 46 x 83 cm as assembled engraved by Danckert Danckertsz. and his father after drawings by Jacob Vennekool including the two hemispheres of the world map and a celestial map of the constellations of the northern hemisphere each 10 cm in diameter. Very large engraved plan showing the extraordinary cartographic mosaic floor of the Burgerzaal of the Amsterdam City Hall designed by Jacob van Campen with a celestial map in the centre and the magnificent map of the world in 2 hemispheres on either side. The engraving was first published in 1661 and the map shows Tasman's recent discoveries in Australia and Tasmania and depicts California as an island. Many discoveries from his second voyage remained otherwise unpublished until the end of the 17th-century. This engraved representation is all that is left of this cartographical work of art. Wear caused by people walking on the mosaic meant it had to be restored about a hundred years later. When in turn this restoration was damaged the two hemispheres were filled in with plain marble slabs without pictorial representation.The drawing of the floor was made by Jacob Vennekool who worked closely with Van Campen and since his drawings were first published even before the building was completed they may reflect Van Campen's plan more closely than the finished building itself. They also of course show it before the alterations made at various times in later years.Slightly wrinkled in the right margin one fold reinforced and a few tiny spots otherwise in very good condition.l Cf.

With a large engraved printer's device on title page and 33 full-page numbered engraved plates all contemporary hand-coloured. 4 34 2 pp. Greatly enlarged edition of a celebrated work on the metamorphosis of butterflies and other insects depicted in 33 finely etched plates. First published in 1740 with only 25 plates the present edition published posthumously represents the fullest realisation of the authors lifelong ambition bringing together his exquisitely engraved plates with additional material that was prepared but never published during his lifetime.In total the work comprises 33 engraved plates depicting 70 metamorphoses of butterflies moths and other winged insects each rendered with remarkable precision and enlivened by contemporary hand-colouring. The plates are notable not only for their scientific value representing a significant advance in the study of insect life cycles but also for their aesthetic brilliance combining delicate line engraving with vibrant colour and decorative botanical settings. Plate XII depicting a tulip is of particular charm. Houttuyn in his preface remarked upon the extraordinary patience and precision required for such studies noting that few enthusiasts possessed the dedication necessary to observe and record these transformations with accuracy.

1720ABC_49529Amsterdam: Pieter Schenk 1720. Modern half sheepskin parchment with the manuscript author and title on the spine beige decorative paper sides. Oblong royal 4to ca. 23 x 29 cm. With an engraved dedication also serving as a title-page and 16 unnumbered engraved views 15 x 18.5 cm. A complete set of sixteen views of the magnificent palace gardens mazes fountains sculpture ponds and pavilions of the Royal estate Het Loo near Apeldoorn in the Netherlands the most splendid country estate of King William III of England William of Orange. This estate was the finest example of Anglo-Dutch formal gardens garden art and architecture. Pieter Schenk I 1660-1711 originally published the present views in his six-part Paridisus oculorum 1702 where Het Loo was ''undoubtedly the highlight of the series'' Anglo-Dutch Garden p. 201. The six parts were also issued separately with the dedications to the owners serving as title-pages as is the case here.William of Orange 1650-1702 bought the medieval castle Het Loo in 1684 when he was Dutch head of state and it quickly became his favourite hunting lodge. He had it completely rebuilt under the architect Jacob Roman 1640-1716 beginning in 1686. When William and his wife Mary Stuart were crowned King and Queen of England in 1689 however work on the estate was greatly expanded on a royal scale with sculpture commissioned from Romeyn de Hooghe and the elaborate fountains and gardens shown in the present prints. By the time Schenk produced the present print series just before William's death in 1702 it was one of the world's grandest royal residences. The present set of Schenk's prints is watermarked Strasbourg Bend = IV similar to Heawood 73 & 78 from ca. 1720 so it may have been published by Pieter Schenk II soon after his father's death.The binding shows very slight traces of use.

Per Wikipedia Willem Jacob 'S Gravesande 1688 - 1742 Was A Dutch Lawyer And Natural Philosopher Chiefly Remembered For Developing Experimental Demonstrations Of The Laws Of Classical Mechanics. As Professor Of Mathematics Astronomy And Philosophy At Leiden University He Helped To Propagate Isaac Newton's Ideas In Continental Europe. In 1715 'S Gravesande Visited London As Part Of A Dutch Delegation Sent To Welcome The Hanoverian Succession In Great Britain. In London 'S Gravesande Met Both King George I And Isaac Newton And Was Elected A Fellow Of The Royal Society.In 1717 He Became Professor Of Mathematics And Astronomy In Leiden. From That Position He Was Instrumental In Introducing Newton's Work To The Netherlands. 'S Gravesande's Main Scientific Work Is Physices Elementa Mathematica Experimentis Confirmata Sive Introductio Ad Philosophiam Newtonianam "Mathematical Elements Of Natural Philosophy Confirmed By Experiments; Or An Introduction To Newtonian Philosophy" Published In Leiden In 1720. In That Book He Laid The Foundations For The Teaching Of Newtonian Mechanics Through Experimental Demonstrations. He Presented His Work Before Audiences That Included Voltaire And Albrecht Von Haller. The Book Was Soon Translated Into English By John Theophilus Desaguliers Curator Of Experiments For The Royal Society. In 1722 He Published The Results Of A Series Of Experiments In Which Brass Balls Were Dropped From Varying Heights Onto A Soft Clay Surface. He Found That A Ball With Twice The Speed Of Another Would Leave An Indentation Four Times As Deep From Which He Concluded That The Correct Expression For The "Live Force" Of A Body In Motion What Is Modernly Called Its "Kinetic Energy" Is Proportional To Its Mass And The Square Of Its Velocity. <br/> <br/> Lugduni Batavorum Apud Petrum Vander Aa hardcover
