Whyld Ravillous 1821:4 First edition.<br /><br /> Jacob Henry Sarratt was a London schoolmaster who learned his chess from Verdoni and established himself as Professor of Chess. He was the leading English chess master from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. He was a frequenter of the London Chess Club which met at Toms Coffee House in Cornhill. His fee was a guinea a lesson. Under his influence stalemate was accepted as a draw. He was the first great English author on chess. His reputation was high and a revelation to English players. His works were of a pioneering character as to chess and the English language. His first excellent books were <i>A treatise on the Game of Chess</i> Vol 1 and Vol 2 1808. There is a prefix listing books on chess from Damiano onwards and some friendly criticism of Philidor. Vol 1 contains Different Methods of Opening the Games then follows 75 Critical Variations. Vol 2 is Teaching the Player who does not have the move how to frustrate his adversarys attack. Then there are instructions how to checkmate and a section on endings with pawns only. His next book introduced in translation the works of Damiano Lopez and Salvio. Published in London in 1813 it deals with those old authors extensively. His next book was Vol 1 Gianutio Vol 2 Selenus with a preface giving some details of the authors. In 1821 was published <i>A New Treatise on the Game of Chess</i>. It is a more exhaustive work than the 1808 publication. He was assisted in this work by his pupil W Lewis. Sarratt died in 1821. His widow then went to Paris and taught chess. In 1844 following an article in <i>Le Palamede</i> describing her as aged 85 and destitute an appeal was launched which enabled her to live in comfort for the rest of her life.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br /> Former library copy from the Brooklyn Public Library with perforated stamp to title and some stamps through out.

Handicap: 1. Steinitz and Green 46 from the Dundee Congress in 1867 Challenge Cup: 1. Neumann; 2. Steinitz. Handicap: 1. Steinitz and Fraser 14 games in the Steinitz - Anderssen competition in 1866 Steinitz won 8:6 and was then considered " "best player" in the world and 64 problems.</p><p>The Dundee tournament is reckoned as the fourth ever international tournament of modern times. The first of modern chess is perhaps Madrid 1575 under the patronage of Phillip II won by Leonardo ahead of Ruy Lopez. There is a match tournament at Paris in 1821 between Deschappelles Labourdonais and Cochrane not usually listed - Labourdonnais won 13-1. London 1851 was a knock-out tournament won by Anderssen. London 1862 was an all-play-all tournament again won by Anderssen 12-1. But in 1862 a draw had to be replayed until a positive result was obtained. At Dundee in 1867 this carry-over from knock-out events was abandoned and "it was decided that a draw should be reckoned as half a game to each player engaged in it". The Congress of the British Chess Association President: Lord Lyttleton was held at Dundee with the preliminary meeting being in the boardroom of the Caledonian Railway Company on Tuesday September 3rd. The Congress consisted of three events: 1 The Grand Tourney of Blackburne De Vere G. B. Fraser Hamel Dr. J. Fraser Rev. MacDonnell Neumann Col. Robertson Spens and Steinitz. 2 The Handicap Tournament consisting of all the Grand Tournament players except for Hamel plus seven extra players contested on a knock-out system and won jointly by Steinitz and Dr. J. Fraser "by mutual agreement" after they in the final "owing to an alleged excess of the time limit by the latter Fraser consented to reckon their game as annulled. "This is the result of no rule or procedure being laid down for deciding the penalty for overstepping the time limit. No replay of the final game was possible "as Steinitz had to leave per steamer in the afternoon". 3 The Scottish Championship of eight players all-play-all won by Dr. J. Fraser 6-1. A contemporary newspaper report said about this event "after a very tedious contest".</p><p>Harold James Ruthven Murray 1868-1955 was a British educationalist inspector of schools and prominent chess historian. His book <em>A History of Chess</em> is widely regarded as the most authoritative and comprehensive history of the game.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> An autograph dedication by Charles E.

193432450Washington DC: Nervous and Mental Disease Publishing Co 1934. First edition. Original black cloth blocked in green; xvi 437 pp. one ad leaf. 3 inch crack in rear endpaper but a very good copy. Illustrations in black red blue and green. There is an inscription on the front endpaper indicating its use by the War Office Selection Board in 1942. The Board was a scheme by British Army psychiatrists to discover and develop officer candidates and Moreno's sociometrics were influential in Eric Trist and Wilfred Bion's experiment of Regimental Nomination where units were encouraged to nominate candidates.<br /> Linton C. Freeman identified four defining properties of social network analysis: 1 It involves the intuition that links among social actors are important. 2 It is based on the collection and analysis of data that record social relations that link actors. 3 It draws heavily on graphic imagery to reveal and display the patterning of those links. And 4 it develops mathematical and computational models to describe and explain those patterns.<br /> He wrote "Until the 1930s however no one had used all four properties at the same time. Modern social network analysis was introduced by a psychiatrist Jacob L. Moreno and a psychologist Helen Jennings. They conducted elaborate research first among the inmates of a prison later in a reform school for girls. Moreno and Jennings named their approach sociometry." A chapter on psychological geography anticipates the work of the Lettrist International.<br /> <br /> "Moreno founded psychodrama and pioneered group psychotherapy. Apart from its psychiatric and sociological significance this work contained some of the earliest graphic depictions of social networks— data visualization methods later applied to numerous other disciplines. These images were later called sociograms." Garrison-Morton-Norman 7700. Nervous and Mental Disease Publishing Co unknown

Halbledereinband; Stempel auf einem der 4 Titelblätter. feines Exemplar. The second edition is the first Illustrated and first edition with the subtitle "Botanik als inductive Wissenschaft" Matthias Jakob Schleiden 1804-1881 considered the inductive method the only valid one in biology and the first part of this book constitutes an important document for the study of the methodology of natural history. He declared himself an enemy of all philosophical speculation while at the same time adhering to the views of Kant and rejecting the label of materialist. He completed his attacks against the philosophers with a brief polemical monograph against the philosophy of Schelling and Hegel. The entire structure of Schleiden's textbook was fundamentally new. The lengthy works begins with a study of the material elements of the plant. Next section is a large section of plant cytology and then a treatment of morphology and organology. The book which established the teaching o botany on a completely new basis was often reprinted and appeared in various translations and adaptations. To appreciate the enthusiasm it aroused and its influence in turning young man to the study of botany it is necessary to read the testimony of contemporaries particularly of Julius Sachs a famous botanist and author of the well known history of botany. Schleiden was one of the first to recognize the unique importance of the cell in biology and was a co-founder along with Schwann of the cell theory --- which states that the cell is the basis of both plant and animal life. His fundamentally important textbook of botany which was organized according to this theory contains the first detailed discussion of the structure and function of plant cells and thus marks the beginning of plant cytology. -cf.
