"Johann von Mandelslo was a friend of Adam Olearius and a former page of the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp. Together Mandelslo and Olearius were sent by the Duke on an embassy to the Russian Czar and to the Shah of Persia for the purpose of initiating trade relations with Russia Tartary and Persia. Mandelslo was authorized to leave the embassy in Persia and to continue his travels to the Far East. He went to Surat Agra and Goa in India where he received great kindness from the English merchants and he also visited Ceylon. He gives long accounts of the other parts of the Far East which he did not visit personally. His return was made to England by sea via the Cape of Good Hope which he visited in 1639" Hill. Mandelslo's narrative contains substantial information on the Far East. "Before his death Mandelslo had entrusted his rough notes to Olearius who subsequently published them bound with his numerous official accounts of the embassy" Howgego. Following the first publication Olearius added additional information to subsequent editions. A new edition in French translated by Wicquefort included still more additional material including an account of the travels of Henri de Feynes to China Formosa and Japan. The present edition published in Amsterdam in 1727 is a re-issue of the Van der Aa edition of 1719 published in Leiden; both are celebrated as the best editions being the most complete and with the largest number of illustrations. The plates include views and plans of London Amsterdam Brussels Antwerp Capetown Goa Surat Jedo Tokyo St. Helena Mauritius Madagascar the Canary Islands Java Congo and elsewhere.

SULZER Johann Georg 1720 1779 KASTNER Abraham Gotthelf 1719 1800ABAA

Nouvelle théorie des plaisirs par Mr. Sulzer de lAcadémie Royale des Science & Belles-Lettres de Berlin; Avec des réflexions sur lorigine du plaisir par Mr. Kaestner de la même Académie.

1767D11183n.p. Berlin 1767. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo 160 x 90mm. 4 363 1 pages. 18th-century mottled calf marbled endpapers and edges spine ends chipped scattered stains mostly marginal. Front flyleaf with contemporary French verse inscription Sur cet coteaux depouilles de verdure; je vois courir le lievre fuigtif et loiseau mort de froide accuse la nature and ownership inscription on title Elisabeth Lagravere. French translation of Sulzers theory on the origins of pleasure following a Cartesian school of thought. Zurich native Johann George Sulzer was a well-established member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences and Belle-Lettres who published widely on the appreciation of art. Sulzers influence on aesthetic theory was well known within theoretical circles in late eighteenth century Berlin. Owing to the work of Descartes particularly his Passions of the Soul 1649 Sulzers work on the origins of pleasure aimed to initiate a move toward moral psychology and ethical theory within studies of the mind. Sulzer focused on the derivation of joy and gladness in the model of a Cartesian system; simply it opposed the idea of Hedonism which believed pleasure was the sole aim of humankind. Instead Sulzers theories supported a metaphysical experience within ones own cognitive condition. Sulzers work supplements the great accomplishment of many of his near contemporary theorists who contributed to the study of emotions Descartes Hobbes Malebranche and Spinoza. His work preceded that of Kants division of the mind into pleasure or pain and who with later Kant outwardly disagreed with the weakness of the proofs promulgated by Sulzer. Abraham Gotthelf Kästner was a German poet and mathematician also a devout Lutheran. He was known in his professional life for compiling and reflecting on content for textbook study. Kästner translated and revised this Sulzers theoretical work on pleasure showcasing his encyclopedic interests but remains better known for his contributions on the history of mathematics and his various epigrams. hardcover books

THORNTON Robert John circa 1768 1837. Peter REINAGLE & Abraham PETHERABAA

The Night Blowing Cereus

180037722London 1800. Hand-coloured and colour-printed mezzotint engraving by Dunkerton. The most strikingly beautiful flower plates ever to be printed in England. "The plant shown in this picture Selenicereus grandiflorus L. Britton & Rose. is also known as the Moon Cactus from the moon-like appearance of the fully open flower. Thornton also says that. it was sometimes called the `Torch Thistle' as it `exhibits to the observer a figure equally grotesque as terrific with flowers possessing actually the blazing appearance of a torch.' The plant is a native of Jamaica and Cuba. This picture is one of the most arresting in the collection. The plant itself is of interest not only for its large and beautiful flowers but as a representative of those which growing in a hot and dry environment open their flowers at night for pollination by night-flying insects pollinators being scarce in such climates during the heat of the day. This has a curious effect where public botanic gardens are concerned since these are shut at night to visitors who thus never see the plant in full bloom." Ronald King. The Temple of Flora by Robert Thornton. 1981 p.74. Thornton's Temple of Flora is the greatest English colour-plate flower book. ".Thornton inherited a competent fortune and trained as a doctor. He appears to have had considerable success in practice and was appointed both physician to the Marylebone Dispensary and lecturer in medical botany at Guy's and St. Thomas's hospitals. But quite early in his career he embarked on his. great work. What RedoutÃ© produced under the patronage of L'HÃ©ritier Marie Antoinette the Empress Josephine Charles X and the Duchesse de Berry Thornton set out to do alone. Numerous important artists were engaged. twenty-eight paintings of flowers commissioned from Abraham Pether known as `Moonlight Pether' Philip Reinagle . Sydenham Edwards and Peter Henderson. The result. involved Thornton in desperate financial straits. In an attempt to extricate himself he organized the Royal Botanic Lottery under the patronage of the Prince Regent. it is easy to raise one's eyebrows at Thornton's unworldly and injudicious approach to publishing. But he produced. one of the loveliest books in the world" Alan Thomas Great Books and Book Collecting pp.142-144 First state of plate A. unknown books
