Rueff was a follower of Martin Luther and although he was "primarily known as a physician surgeon and lithotomist he was also a poet and writer of folk songs. … Much of Rueff's advice stems from that of classical writers or is taken from Rosslin's Rosegarten. A great deal is also very primitive to modern eyes. But it made a start at a time when midwifery had previously been strictly a woman's affair" Dunn p. 222.

2353Four folding engraved plates. 2 p.l. vi 396 2 pp. one leaf of errata. 8vo orig. wrappers some fraying & some wear to spine uncut. Paris: Méquignon-Marvis 1821. First edition in French 1st ed. in Swedish: 1820 of this very scarce and famous work in which Berzelius describes the use of the blowpipe in chemistry and mineralogy. "The scientific apparatus and reagents available in Sweden when Berzelius began his work were very inadequate.The new forms of apparatus that he built were described in the various editions of his textbook and became standard pieces of equipment in laboratories all over the world. He was especially skillful in the use of the blowpipe which had been developed in the Scandinavian countries. He utilized it in many of his analytical procedures and the book that he wrote concerning it popularized its use abroad."-D.S.B. II p. 93. The apparatus which Berzelius developed allowed him to greatly improve the accuracy of qualitative and quantitative analysis and he introduced many new methods. The translation by Fulgence Fresnel 1795-1855 is known to be excellent. Very good uncut copy. The plates depict cross-sections of the blowpipe and other chemical apparatus. ❧ Cole 137.

Le Maire's journal which occupies pp. 107-174 of this book describes the voyage of trade and discovery launched by one of the most aggressive of Netherlands traders in this era of Dutch expansion. The expedition sailed around Cape Horn explored the Pacific coast of South America and pursued the search for Terra Australis. Inspired in part by Quiros and motivated by Dutch trading zeal this was the essential precursor to Tasman's voyage; indeed Tasman made great use of Le Maire's mapping of the ocean. The Le Maire voyage the last of the seventeenth century expeditions to search for the unknown continent from the east was responsible for extensive discoveries in the Pacific recorded in excellent detail on the numerous maps published here. These include maps of Le Maire's Pacific route and of New Guinea the latter definitely establishing it to be an island. There are also five engraved views showing the expedition in Patagonia a Polynesian sailing canoe the anchorage at Cocos Island natives at Cocos and the isle of Hoorn. The first section of this work is the first French and second edition overall of a portion of Antonio de Herrera's Historia General first published in Madrid in 1601. This is one of the classic descriptions of the Spanish conquests in the New World with important maps of the West Indies the Americas the coasts of Central and South America the interior of Mexico Terra Firme and the west coast of South America including some of the most important maps relating to the Pacific made to the time. The third section of this volume consists of brief accounts of other voyages into the Pacific and the account of Pedro de Cevallos of the Spanish possessions in the New World. Two issues of this French translation were printed in Amsterdam in 1622. This copy has the first imprint recorded by Wagner. There were also Latin and Dutch editions in the same year differing slightly in their makeup; Wagner assigns priority to this French edition.
