Internally fine and clean. <br/><br/><em> First printing of these milestone papers in the history of chemistry where Berzelius introduced his famous chemical symbolism whereby an element is generally represented by the first letter of its Latin name or in the event of elements having the same first letter by the first two letters. Even though his atomic symbols were introduced in 1813 see the note on p. 359 in the first paper it was quite a few years before Berzelius's symbols were adopted by the chemistry community. But once accepted they became the new international language of chemistry.Berzelius "contributed more to the development of the atomic theory and to the setting up of accurate values of the atomic weights than did any other worker of the time. Of his contributions moreover to the development of the atomic theory and the advancement of chemical science not the least valuable was the introduction of a chemical symbolism which with slight modification is in use at the present day. By giving his symbols a quantitative meaning - the symbol of an element representing one atomic proportion by weight - it was possible "to show briefly and clearly the number of elementary atoms in each compound and after the determination of their relative weights present the results of each analysis in a simple and easely retained manner". This symbolism was speedily adopted on the Continent but in England only after some considerable time."Findlay "A Hundred Years of Chemistry" p. 14.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1813 C. - Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book in Chemistry" p. 258 ff. - Holmberg 1813:28 a.

17305023<p>Copperplate engraving 83.5 x 55.5 cm 1 folio. Fold marks minor edge wear otherwise a very good copy in very crisp dark impression.<br /></p><p>Rare large-format engraved print produced in 1730 as part of the celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession 1530 one of the foundational documents of Lutheranism. The subject of the print is the famous Tranquebar Mission in southern India which was established by King Frederick IV of Denmark 1671-1730 and led by the German missionaries Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg 1682-1719 and Heinrich Plütschau 1676-1752 who are noted for having translated the Bible into Tamil and arranged for its printing.</p><p>The engraving executed by Johann Jacob Kleinschmidt after a design by Elias Riedinger is a splendid example of 18th-century Augsburg printmaking. It takes as its compositional conceit a church altar surmounted by a framed retable. The image above the altar depicts the German missionaries preaching to an audience of natives; in the background of this scene can be glimpsed a statue of 'Biruma oder Brama' Brahma. The elaborately carved frame of the retable is enlivened with vignettes illustrating the successes of the Lutheran mission e.g. an Indian smashing an idol a native being baptized a domesticated elephant symbolizing the people under God's yoke etc.</p><p>Placed atop the altar are oval portraits of Ziegenbalg and Plütschau their names written in Tamil and the books they translated an Indian bible an Indian catechism and an Indian hymnal. A map of southern India hangs on the front face of the altar. Flanking the altar are two young natives: the boy on the left holds the Danish Royal arms and the boy on the right displays the architectural plan of the New Jerusalem Church in Tranquebar built by the Germans and dedicated in 1719. In front of the altar are fallen symbols of the old dispensation. At the foot of the sheet is a poem in Latin and German celebrating the expansion of the Lutheran faith to all corners of the world.</p><p>The engraving is one of several quite ambitious broadside prints produced in Augsburg to commemorate the bicentennial of the Augsburg Confession some of which apparently reproduced paintings executed for the occasion. These rather disparate graphic productions were collected by Johann Michael Roth in 1730/31 and released as a small-edition composite volume with an added engraved title page reading <i>Augspurgisches Iubel-Gedächtnüs</i>. The contents of this rather odd production vary greatly from copy to copy. Kleinschmidt's <i>Vorstellung der Evangelisch-Ost-Indischen Kirche</i> engraving apparently was a commercial success because in 1736 citing demand he released a small-format version of the work its composition slightly altered.</p><p>OCLC locates U.S. examples of the <i>Augspurgisches Iubel-Gedächtnüs</i> at Illinois Duke Getty Stanford Princeton Yale Harvard Emory Concordia Seminary and Cal. State Sutro. The Getty copy includes Kleinschmidt's <i>Vorstellung der Evangelisch-Ost-Indischen Kirch</i> but it is not clear which other examples include this engraving.</p><p>Drugulin <i>Historischer Bilderatlas</i> 4112; S.

Commissioned by the publisher David Gessner Hans Jacob Leu 1689-1768 started in 1720 with his revisions against considerable odds since information about the regiments of the cantons were considered top secret. His aim was to continue the original text up to his own times and to augment it with an historical part about the period from the origins of the Helvetians up to the time of Emperor Rudolf I. On the other hand he annotated the constitutional texts to conform with contemporary practice. This was to be Leu's most successful work the only one which saw a second edition on 1735. - Fine complete copy. - Haller IV 409; Wyss 211; Feller/Bonjour 162 and 437; cf. M. Vogt J. J.

177033417Augsburg: J. J. Haid et fils 1770. Mezzotint engravings on laid paper. Trimmed to platemark on bottom. Charming suite of mezzotints capturing the quiet choreography of eighteenth-century domestic routine.<br/> <br/> Johann Jacob Haid one of Augsburg's leading printmakers depicts a young protagonist at successive moments: in the morning she adjusts her negligee beside an inviting breakfast service; after dinner she composes her hair and pearls before a mirror; toward evening she slips on her gloves in the open doorway poised between interior refinement and the social world beyond; and at last she settles by glittering candles her veil half-drawn as reading gives way to sleep. The mezzotint medium lends the scenes a painterly softness while the sophisticated articulation of lace jewellery and porcelain situates the figure within a Rococo vocabulary of luxury and polite accomplishment. Haid's French titles underscore Augsburg's role as a transnational centre for the circulation of fashionable imagery during the Enlightenment. Suites such as the present set appealed to middle-class collectors who sought both moral narrative and decorative refinement for the domestic interior. The present set offers insight into the gendered rhythms of leisure consumption and self-presentation that preoccupied contemporary viewers.<br/> <br/> Cf.

About the author: "David Paul Drach aka Paul-Louis-Bernard Drach after his conversion 1791-1865 was a Catholic convert from Judaism and librarian of the College of Propaganda in Rome. Drach received his early education from his father who was a rabbi. After spending some time in various Talmudic schools he became a teacher at Rappoltsweiler though only sixteen years of age. The love of the secular sciences brought him to Paris where he was welcomed by his coreligionists and became tutor in a wealthy Jewish family. His reputation as a teacher brought him Christian pupils; and this may have had some influence on his subsequent conversion; in fact he had always manifested some leaning toward Christianity. Drach had already begun the study of Greek and Latin so as to become acquainted with the Christian doctrines in their original sources. Struck by the accusation of some of the Fathers that the Jews had corrupted the Hebrew text he began a comparative study of the Hebrew and the Septuagint which study he continued in spite of the remonstrances of the president of the Central Consistory. Drach was received into the Catholic faith in 1823 together with his two daughters and his son Paul who afterward became a priest and a distinguished Biblical scholar. In 1827 Drach accepted the position of librarian of the Propaganda in Rome which position he held until the year of his death." From the Jewish Encyclopedia. Fortunato Stella e Figli hardcover
