Frey who is intent on converting his former coreligionists to Christianity. In his opening letter to Frey Nikelsburger does not hold back: "In your eagerness to convert the Jews to your way of thinking you make no scruples of converting and perverting the prophets by turning their words to a meaning which you conceive to be best adapted to your purpose; and in doing this you make them not only flatly contradict each other but themselves also." <br> "For American Jews Koul Jacob seemed an appropriate answer to Frey a Jewish convert to Christianity who had resumed his missionary activities shortly after his arrival in America. It was a well-tempered but firm refutation of Frey's arguments. Moreover its author was an English Jew and if American Christians were to take offense at it its European authorship distanced American Jews from it" Berlin G. Defending the Faith.

189542255New York: published by Jacob H. Studer & Co 1895. Imperial 4to. 14 5/8 x 11 1/2 inches. 119 lithographed plates printed in colour and finished by hand after drawings by Theodore Jasper. Publisher's full brown morocco boards with blind-embossed decorations front board lettered gilt patterned endpapers all edges gilt<br/> <br/> A vibrant and influential late 19th-century American ornithological work.<br/> <br/> Jacob H. Studer created the present work with the aim of making ornithology accessible to a broader audience. Unlike earlier more expensive natural history folios Studer's publication was conceived as a more affordable guide for families schools and amateur naturalists an approach that contributed to its wide popularity and multiple subsequent editions the final appearing in 1903. The 119 chromolithographic plates many based on first-hand observation rather than copied from earlier works combine scientific clarity with a distinctly charming visual style. While less austere than Audubon and more accessible than the works of Baird or Ridgway the illustrations echo the warmth and immediacy of Wilson and his contemporaries helping to bridge the divide between academic ornithology and popular natural history. Studer's work serves as both a beautiful example of American chromolithography and a meaningful cultural artifact in the democratization of scientific knowledge at the turn of the century.<br/> <br/> Cf.

Modern quarter sheepskin with a morocco title and author label on the spine lettered in gold the year of publication lettered in gold below marbled paper sides blue sprinkled edges. 8vo. With 4 letterpress folding tables and numerous illustrations and figures on 16 folding plates lithographed by Guillaume Philidor van den Burggraaf Brussels. First edition of a rare Dutch technical handbook on clockmaking which was considered an important manual for the technical training of clockmakers at the time. It aimed to foster a more intuitive understanding of the concepts instead of explaining rules that students would learn at school. The work is divided into four parts: the first part treating basic mechanics the second the calculation and design of clockworks the third clock music and the fourth sundials. The whole is preceded by an introduction on the history of the profession. The work is illustrated with several technical plates and figures offering a visual explanation of the concepts described.Jacob Levi Smit ca. 1766-1826 was a master clock- and watchmaker from Groningen with more than forty years of experience. He was born in Friesland and likely learnt the profession in Leeuwarden where he worked for several years. A number of his clocks have survived. The present work is his only written publication and was intended for the students of the clockmakers school. The publishers preface tell us that Smit passed away on 1 November just as the main part of the text was being printed. A second edition appeared in 1836 and a third in 2011.With the owners stamp of M. Passenier Domburg on the half title. The spine is slightly rubbed.

First edition of the "First description of acute anterior poliomyelitis which Jakob von Heine 1799-1879 separated from other forms of paralysis; he described the deformities arising from the disease.

Garrison & Morton Vorrede: "Die Lehre von der Lähmung der unteren Extremitäten ist ungeachtet mancher darüber erschienener zum Theil sehr schätzbarer Abhandlungen und einer grossen Zahl bekannt gemachter Fälle noch sehr lückenhaft und daran gewiss nicht nur die Schwierigkeit und seltene Gelegenheit Rückgratshöhlen zu öffnen sondern auch vorzugsweise die sich widersprechenden Resultate der Leichenöffnungen der an Rückenmarkskrankheiten Verstorbenen Schuld. Unter diesen Umständen dürfte es vielleicht nicht ganz ohne Interesse seyn wenn ich mir erlaube in folgenden Blättern eine Reihe von während 11 Jahren in meiner Heilanstalt gemachten Beobachtungen über eine Art von Paralyse der unteren Gliedmassen zusammen zu stellen und zu versuchen ob sich hiebei nicht Andeutungen über diese sowohl in ihrer primären als secundären Natur noch wenig bekannte Krankheit ableiten lassen. Erhält indessen die Wissenschaft selbst durch diese kleine Arbeit auch keinen grossen Gewinn so bleibt mir jeden Falls das angenehme Bewusstseyn das herbe Schicksal einer Anzahl unglücklicher Wesen erleichtert zu haben Wesen welche oft kaum der Mutter Schoos entsprossen und sich bereits eines hoffnungsvollen Gedeihens erfreuend durch ein unglückliches Geschick wieder in ihr erstes hülfloses Daseyn zurückgeworfen wurden."

But only in the nineteenth century did movable flaps became a regular feature in children’s books. In the Netherlands ‘De nieuwe rijschool’ The new riding school published in 1856 was the first movable children’s book which reached their peak in the 1870s and 1880s. Gerardus Theodorus Bom 1814-1884 was a Dutch publisher of books in Amsterdam issuing such titles as Kindervreugd 1864 Robinson Crusoë c.1865 and Kunstenmakers at work 1875.

Haafner 1755-1809 started his literary activities very late in life. His first travel-book was published in 1806 in Haarlem. The importance of Haafner's eyewitness accounts is that they were done during the decay of the VOC. Terpstra in his analysis of Haafner's views on colonialism as expressed in his works comes to the conclusion that Haafner was an anti-colonialist a man before his time for his ideas were not to be topical until more than a century had elapsed.

1860203591860. Zweite umgearbeitete und vermehrte Auflage. - Stuttgart J.G. Cotta'scher Verlag 1860 VIII 204 pp. 14 getönten lithogr. Taf. Pappband der Zeit. Die erste Monographie über dieses Krankheitsbild von Jakob von Heine 1800-1879. "Erst in dieser stark vermehrten zweiten Auflage unter Bekanntgabe von vielen neuen Methoden und Erkenntnissen erhielt dieses klassische Werk den Titel "Spinale Kinderlähmung" da er den Sitz der Krankheit im Rückenmark annahm wenn er sich auch noch nicht auf Sektionsergebnisse stützen konnte. Er teilte das Leiden ein in das akute primäre und das chronische sekundäre Stadium und unterschied sehr wohl die cerebrale spastische Hemiplegie von der spinalen Lähmung die er "Paralysis infantilis spinalis" nannte. Ferner führte er sehr genaue Temperaturmessungen an den verschiedenen Körpergegenden durch und stellte dabei Unterschiede der Hautemperatur zwischen der gesunden und gelähmten Seite fest; auch das Zurückbleiben im Wachstum entging ihm nicht. Ebenso wies er schon auf das epidemische Auftreten hin ferner auf die Kontrakturen und die anderen Fehlstellungen." ".namentlich die zweite aus dem Jahre 1860 deren reicher Inhalt nur in Stichworten angedeutet werden konnte sind als wahre klassische Werke zu bezeichnen; nach ihrer Lektüre wird man es voll und ganz verstehen . das die Bezeichnung einer der schlimmsten Plagen welche Kinder und Erwachsene befallen kann mit dem Namen des deutschen Orthopäden Jacob von Heine 1800-1879 als 'Heine-Medinische Krankheit' verbunden bleiben wird. Ferner war Jakob Heine wahrscheinlich der erste in Deutschland welcher die orthopädische Gymnastik in seinem Institut bei Cannstatt einführte." "In 1940 Heine 1799-1879 gave the first description of acute anterior polyomelitus in a slender monograph of 78 pages. "Twenty years later 1860 in a much enlarged edition Heine gathered again his rich experiences announcing many new methods and observations. He called his new monograph "Spinale Kinderlähmung" as he assumed the seat of the disease to be in the spinal cord --- These tow monographs by Heine especially the second of 1860 . must be considered true classics . "Valentin After a brief account of the acute or primary stage comes a detailed description of the second or paralytic stage with numerous clinical histories of the different forms of paralysis followed by sections on etiology and pathologic anatomy differential diagnosis prognosis and treatment especially by orthopaedics means. The 29 lithographic figures illustrate deformities and apparatus. The book contains numerous references to the literature. Fischbein et al Valentin Gesch. d.

Pappband der Zeit; vereinzelt fleckig. Deutsche Erstausgabe des klassischen Werk der Geburtshilfe nach dem Kupferstichwerk von Maygrier. "Aber meinem in dem Vorworte ausgesprochenen Vorsatze mich bei der Herausgabe dieses Werkes lediglich an das Orginal zu halten bin ich nicht ganz nachgekommen; denn je mehr ich in der Bearbeitung weiter geschritten bin um so innniger ward mir die Überzeugung dass eine durchgehend statt findende Bearbeitung des Maygrier von wenig Nutzen sein könnte da das Orginal besonders vom praktischen Theile an höchst flach und einseitig ist. Ich legte demnach schon vom fünften Abschnitte an das französische Werk gänzlich bei Seite benutzte nur die Abbildungen und schrieb einen ganzen neuen Text dazu ohne indessen von der früheren Form abzuweichen. Um aber doch nicht ganz mein Versprechen ausser Augen zu setzen eine Parallele zwischen der französischen und teutschen Geburtshülfe zu ziehen so nahm ich Einzelnes worin sich Maygrier von den teutschen Geburtshelfern unterscheidet immer Rücksicht und berührte dasselbe. . Auf diese Weise war es mir möglich Kapitel mit aufzunehmen die im französischen Originale gar nicht berührt sind z.B. die künstliche Frühgeburt." Zit.a. Nachwort.

Internally nice and clean printed on heavy blue paper. 4 62 2 pp. <br/><br/><em>Exceedingly rare first edition possibly gift-copy of Dampe's doctoral dissertation on ethics in the Koran. Dampe was subject to arguable the most profound miscarriage of justice in Danish history. In 1820 Dampe was sentenced to death for advocating the abolition of absolute monarchy and the establishment of a free constitution. However his sentence was commuted to exile and he was imprisoned in "the Balloon" on the tiny island of Fredriksø. Following the abolition of exile as a form of punishment in 1840 he was placed under house arrest on Bornholm. In 1848 he was granted amnesty by Denmark's new king Frederick VII. The following year in 1849 the Danish Constitution was introduced pretty much the way Dampe had proposed. His dissertation provides an overview of the main principles of the Quran’s ethical teachings the arguments for following them pre-Islamic Arab ethics before Muhammad and what Muhammad thought about himself.
