Very fine unopened.<br/><br/> “Painter René Rimbert mentioned in a letter to Jacob that if his expected child were to be a girl he would name her Saskia after Rembrandts’s young wife. In his answer Jacob pointed out that Saskia is not a Christian name and that it is important not to subject a child to lifelong ridicule. This exchange of letters gave him the impetus to write the charming story.†P.188 Black & Green. The story concerns a girl who is named Saskia much against her mother’s wishes. The inscription reflects Jacob’s intention of writing a playful parable for a young person “What better processes to delight the father than to love his children.â€<br/><br/> Jacob’s influence on modern French poetry was profound and his modernist lyrical verse is still widely read. Encyclopedia Britannica notes of Jacob: he “played a decisive role in the new directions of modern poetry during the early part of the 20th century. His “novels†mainly epistolary are exercises in verbal mimicry reproducing every nuance in the conversation of the petitbourgeois of whom he was a sardonic but affectionate observer as in Le Nom. He influenced many of his contemporaries and toward the end of his life was surrounded by a devoted group of younger and older artists.â€<br/><br/> Ref: online Encyclopedia Britannica: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/298950/MaxJacob; Black Moishe & Maria Green Ed and trans. “Hesitant Fire: Selected Prose of Max Jacob†U of Nebraska Press 1991.

1609WRCAM38891Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. Two parts. 228 leaves second part with its own titlepage. Folio. Modern three-quarter morocco and marbled boards spine gilt. A few leaves with worm tracks expertly repaired. Very good. Second French edition following the first French edition of 1601 of this important voyages narrative describing the initial Dutch exploration and expansion to the East Indies a significant element in a global commercial enterprise which was to develop throughout the 17th century. Van Neck who represented the Verre Company commanded three ships which were part of the first successful Dutch trading voyage to the region. The other two ships were commanded by Wybrand Van Warwijck and Jacob Van Heemskerk. Van Neck's vessel became separated from the other two after rounding the Cape of Good Hope and the three did not reunite again until his arrival in Java in late December 1598. Unlike his Dutch predecessor Cornelis Houtman who three years earlier had seized the port of Bantam Van Neck dealt diplomatically with the natives. "Rather than rejecting the inflated prices asked by the local ruler he offered to pay over the odds in order to cement a lasting relationship.Van Neck's was the most profitable of the pre-VOC Dutch East India Company voyages. Despite the apparently high price paid for spices he netted a profit of 300 per cent on his overall costs. In 1601 fourteen fleets comprising sixty-five ships sailed for the East Indies but by that time competition between rival Dutch operators as well as with the Portuguese had inflated prices and none were as successful as Van Neck's first enterprise" - Howgego. While focused on activity in the East Indies EUROPEAN AMERICANA notes that the text includes references to Brazil and tobacco from the West Indies. The second part of this 1609 French edition which has its own titlepage is an eight-page appendix of words spoken in Java and Malay including word lists in French printed in roman type Malay in italic type and Javanese in civilité.

Fourth edition enlarged the first to include Kosmichen Physik of the famous physics textbook of Mathias Pouillet Elements de physique experimentale et de meteorologie 1827-30 translated and substantially enlarged and revised by Johann Muller a physics and technology professor at the University of Freiburg. Muller's version in turn became a standard physics textbook in the German-speaking world and went through a number of editions remaining in use through the early 20th century. "Muller's most significant textbook the Lehrbuch first appeared as Pouillet's Lehrbuch der Physik und Meteorologie a 'free adaptation' of the 1837 edition of C.S. Pouillet's Elements de Physique experimentale et de Meteorologie. Muller'sinnovations included numerous woodcuts inserted directly into the text. . .The illustrations of the apparatus were particularly useful for the mechanician. The book was initially styled for the nonphysics major. He supplied the derivations of mathematical formulas and stressed mechanical theorems. Muller incorporated Gauss's works on magnetism for the first time and recast the chapters on galvanism light and meteorology. Each of the seven editions that were published during his lifetime underwent considerable emendation. A third volume Lehrbuch der Kosmicschen Physik based upon Muller's own observations was added in 1856." –D.S.B. IX p. 566. F. Vieweg, 1852, 1853, 1856. hardcover books
