1773WRCAM48817AMannheim: Churfurstl. Hof-und Academie-Buchdruckerey 1773. 16358pp. plus two engraved plates and folding map. Contemporary black half calf and marbled boards spine gilt. Extremities lightly worn small paper label at foot of spine. Small ink stamp on titlepage and verso of map. Minor scattered foxing. Very good. Second issue with some corrections after the first printing of the previous year of this rare account of Lower California by the German Jesuit Jacob Baegert. Baegert lived in Baja California for seventeen years 1751- 68 and spent most of his time at the Mission of San Luis Gonzaga leaving after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. He provides some important details on the culture of the Indians of Baja California including the Pericues Guiacuras and Cochiemes. Wagner states that the German Jesuits were especially dissatisfied toward the end of the Jesuit regime in California and Baegert's bitterness is evident in his book: ".it was a land full of ferocious beasts and even more ferocious Indians the soil was poor the water undrinkable and there was no fuel to be had." The fine and important map was made by the fellow Jesuit Ferdinand Consak and is described by Streeter as "most helpful in giving the location of the many Jesuit missions in Lower California. It also shows the route along the west coast of Mexico followed by Baegert in going to California in 1751 and his route out in 1768 after the expulsion of the Jesuits." The top right corner of the territory present-day Arizona is labeled rather ominously "Los Apaches Barbari." The excellent plates which were apparently not issued with all copies depict male and female California Indians.

Modern half brown morocco paste-paper boards blind- and gilt-stamped spine labels raised bands. Fine. FIRST EDITION in German complete. This is the most advanced textbook on Cosmic Physics and Meteorology of its time. "His acclaimed textbook on physics and meteorology Elements de physique experimentale et de meteorologie was published in four parts.6 Also it was translated into German by Johann Heinrich Jakob Muller and published with the title Lehrbuch der Physik und Meteorologie." – Wikip. "Pouillet's lectures — which were partially collected in his Elements de physique experimentale et de meteorologie 1927 and in the Lecons de physique de la Faculte des sciences 1828 — were widely read. Pouillet published a popular account of Elements in 1850. Although offering no spectacular novelties they presented in clear language a survey of the state of the various branches of physics and of recent developments in them." – DSB XI p. 111. / A much revised and expanded version of what was originally Pouillet's Elements de Physique Experimentale et de Meteorologie 1827 which Muller translated into Lehrbuch der Physik und Meteorologie 1842 and then expanded with the supplement Lehrbuch der Kosmischen Physik 1856. It was eventually taken to a ninth edition by Pfaundler 1886-98 and finally revised and expanded yet again by Pfaundler into this final edition including an additional volume Magnetismus und Elektrizitat 1909 written by Walter Kaufmann 1871-1947 and Alfred Coehn 1863-1938. The final version unifies almost a century's worth of effort in various disciplines into a single textbook. F. Vieweg, 1905-7, 1909. hardcover books
