Abraham Vater "Arzt und Naturforscher und besonders ausgezeichnet als Anatom wurde als Sohn von Christian Vater am 9. December 1684 in Wittenberg geboren. Er studirte seit 1702 die Heilkunde an der Universität seiner Vaterstadt wo er 1706 die philosophische Doctorwürde erlangte und später auch in Leipzig wo er 1710 den medicinischen Doctorgrad erwarb. Darauf machte er eine größere wissenschaftliche Reise durch Deutschland England und Holland mit längerem Aufenthalt in Amsterdam und Leyden wo er unter Ruysch eingehendere anatomische Studien trieb und besonders sich mit der von diesem Autor kunstvoll gepflegten Injectionstechnik vertraut machte. Nach seiner Rückkehr habilitirte er sich 1712 als Docent in Wittenberg wurde daselbst 1717 außerordentlicher 1719 ordentlicher Professor der Anatomie und Botanik und lehrte diese Fächer gemeinschaftlich von 1733 ab aber ausschließlich die Anatomie mit großem Erfolg den er dadurch steigerte daß er in verdienstlicher Weise ein reichhaltiges anatomisches Museum gründete. 1737 erhielt er auch die Professur der Pathologie doch überließ er die Vorträge über dieses Gebiet dem Dr. Stenzel während er selbst fortfuhr seine Kraft dem anatomischen Unterricht bezw. der Forschung anhaltend zu widmen. Nachdem er 1746 auch noch zum ersten Professor der Therapie an der Wittenberger Universität ernannt war verblieb er zuletzt als Senior der medicinischen Facultät in dieser Stellung bis zu seinem am 18. November 1751 eingetretenen Lebensende. - Vater der auch Mitglied der k. k. Leopold.-Carolinischen Akademie der Naturforscher war ist ein außerordentlich vielseitiger Forscher gewesen. Seine zahlreichen Arbeiten betreffen die Botanik Chemie Pharmakologie allgemeine und specielle Pathologie und Therapie die Chirurgie Gynäkologie und Staatsarzneikunde. Sie alle werden bei weitem überragt durch Vater's Leistungen in der Anatomie die er durch hervorragende Forschungen von bleibendem Werth bereichert hat. Erwähnenswerth sind besonders die Abhandlungen über den Mechanismus der Schließung des foramen ovale 1714 über ein Divertikel an der Mündung des ductus choledochus im Zwölffingerdarm 1720 über einen Speichelgang in der Zunge 1720 1723 über einen Ringmuskel am Gebärmuttergrunde 1723. In einer Dissertation von Lehmann "De consensu partium corporis humani" Wittenberg 1741 beschreibt er ferner die unter seinem Namen bekannten dann in Vergessenheit gerathenen und von Pacini im 3. Decennium dieses Jahrhunderts erst wieder entdeckten sogenannten Tastkörperchen als kleine ovale Anschwellungen papillae nerveae mit denen die Hautnerven der Handfläche und Fußsohlen beim Menschen nicht selten besetzt gefunden werden. Außer durch die bereits oben erwähnte Einrichtung eines anatomischen Museums hat sich Vater um die Hebung des bezüglichen Unterrichts in Wittenberg noch dadurch verdient gemacht daß er auch anatomische Demonstrationen für Frauen hielt und für die Ablieferung der Leichen von Selbstmördern an die Anatomie Sorge trug. Ein ziemlich vollständiges Schriftenverzeichniß Vater's findet sich in der schon genannten Biogr. méd. Bd. VII S. 400-403."

The view shown from the present day Mr. Visserplien the busy intersecti.on in central Amsterdam depicts the Portuguese Synagogue on the left and the High German or Great Synagogue. These momumental buildings now house the Jewish Historical Museum. The first Jews to settle in Amsterdam were the Sephardim who had been expelled from Portugal and Spain in 1493. They were joined in the following decades by the Ashkenazi from Central and Eastern Europe the first of whom had come from Germany in 1600. In those years the only available land for them was at the outskirts of the eastern side of the Centrum the island of Vlooienburg surrounded by the Amstel River and the canals so they settled along the island's main street Breestraat which quickly became known as Jodenbreestraat. The Great Synagogue now the Jewish Historical Museum and the Portuguese-Israelite Synagogue were opened in 1671 and 1675 respectively. The Portuguese Synagogue was the place where Spinoza was placed under the ban by the Sephardic Jewish community in 1656. Pieter Stevensz. van Gunst 1659-1732 also known as Pieter Stevens van Gunst or Petrus Stephani was a Dutch draughtsman copperplate engraver and printmaker active in Amsterdam London 1704 and the Dutch town of Nederhorst 1730-1731.

1763160235London: Printed for R. and J. Dodsley 1763. The prelude to his magnum opus First edition of the prelude to Tucker's nine-volume magnum opus The Light of Nature Pursued which outlined a vast and idiosyncratic philosophical system and which had a noted influence on his philosophical contemporaries. Tucker was an empiricist in the tradition of John Locke holding that the mind begins as a blank slate. In his moral philosophy he proposed that our own satisfaction is the motive of our actions and that the maximum satisfaction of this is the ultimate moral good. He can consequently be seen as an early precursor of utilitarianism. This work published pseudonymously was not well received by the critics. "The 1763 fragment was strongly criticized in the Monthly Review to which Tucker provided a humorous reply Man in Quest of Himself under the new pseudonym Cuthbert Comment" ODNB. The Light of Nature Pursued however enjoyed a high reputation from its first appearance and was a noted influence on William Paley Thomas Malthus and James MacIntosh. Octavo 198 x 124 mm. Contemporary calf double gilt fillet to bands and covers. Contemporary ownership inscription of James Drummond of Bridgend in ink to front free endpaper and in pencil to front pastedown; 18th-century note of author and their death date on title. Minor restoration at head of rear joint short closed tear at fore edge of title neatly taped on verso light finger soiling ink splash to p. 153. A good copy. ESTC T117455. unknown
1768150964London: Printed by T. Jones & W. Oliver 1768 & 1777. The complete set of an influential philosophical work First edition a complete set of Tucker's magnum opus which outlined a vast and idiosyncratic philosophical system and which had a noted influence on his philosophical contemporaries. The set pairs the five volumes he published in 1768 with the four-volume continuation posthumously published in 1777 uniformly bound in contemporary calf and very scarce thus. "Although an occasionally eccentric and digressive text The Light of Nature Pursued enjoyed a high reputation from its first appearance. In the introduction to his Moral and Political Philosophy 1785 William Paley emphasized his deep indebtedness to Tucker in expounding his ethical theory. Paley considered Tucker to be a very original thinker. His work was also highly praised by Sir James MacIntosh who had used his ideas in his lectures on ethics. Mildmay had looked to MacIntosh to provide an introduction to his edition of the work but MacIntosh had been too busy to oblige. Hazlitt produced an abridged edition in 1807. Tucker's speculations also had some influence on Malthus whose family were resident in Surrey. Tucker's style is direct conversational and full of deliberately familiar metaphors and analogies. He was very much an amateur metaphysician and The Light of Nature Pursued is noticeably unsystematic and occasionally rambling in tone. His theory of consciousness and knowledge owes a great deal to John Locke though his speculations about the nervous system and the brain are closer to those of David Hartley whom he nevertheless disliked and whose theories he criticized" ODNB. The first five volumes were published under Tucker's pseudonym of "Edward Search" but his daughter Judith discarded this pseudonym when arranging the posthumous publication of the latter four volumes. Together 9 vols octavo 212 x 130 mm. Contemporary calf red morocco labels red speckled edges. Book label of bookseller and bibliographer John Stephens 1948-2006. Some slight wear around extremities occasional light foxing or worming but contents otherwise fresh; a nice set. ESTC T109651 & T153498. unknown

Old divinity school stamp on title minor foxing but a very good copy very neatly bound. First edition. The pseudonymously published prelude to Tucker's magnum opus THE LIGHT OF NATURE PURSUED. This "1763 fragment was strongly criticized in the MONTHLY REVIEW to which Tucker provided a humorous reply MAN IN QUEST OF HIMSELF under the new pseudonym Cuthbert Comment. In 1768 again using the pseudonym Edward Search he published the first four volumes of his book; the last three volumes were posthumously published under the editorship of his daughter Judith in 1778 . Although an occasionally eccentric and digressive text THE LIGHT OF NATURE PURSUED enjoyed a high reputation from its first appearance. In the introduction to his MORAL AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY 1785 William Paley emphasized his deep indebtedness to Tucker in expounding his ethical theory. Paley considered Tucker to be a very original thinker. His work was also highly praised by Sir James MacIntosh who had used his ideas in his lectures on ethics ." - DNB. Tucker's writings were also read and admired by among others Coleridge Godwin and Hazlett and the latter undertook an abridgement of the full work published in 1807.

BIRTH OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY FIRST EDITION! Abraham Trembley 1710-1784 Scientist Philosopher and Pioneer of Experimental Zoology from Geneva discovered the regenerative powers of the polyp and photosensitivity in an animal without eyes and he was the first to witness cell-division anddiscovered Hydra. Trembley was the first person to show that certain animals can be artificially multiplied by Division the first to make permanent grafts on animal tissues the first to prove by rigorous experiment that asexual reproduction by budding occurs in animals and the first to witness cell-division: he also discovered the process by which Protozoa multiply. These are only a few of his contributions to biological knowledge. A large part of his research was concerned with the little fresh-water polyp hydra an animal of particular importance today because it is one of the standard "types" used all over the world in teaching elementary biology to students of science medicine and agriculture. At the time of publication the immediate philosophical repercussions were even more startling animal soul was clearly shown to be material. The heterogenetic origin of life seemed to be confirmed. Bonnet suggested that the polyp bridged the animal and vegetable kingdoms nullifying their supposedly complete separation. Later he declared the polyp to be the key to the interpretation of nature.

1752ABC_49307Amsterdam 1752. 8vo. Adriaan Wor Contemporary marbled wrappers with a 19th-century paper label on the spine with the author and title in manuscript. With a woodcut vignette on the title page and two decorated woodcut initials. 8 662 pp. First and only edition of a very scarce work on naval medicine. This practical handbook was written by doctors who served on Dutch war ships that sailed from the Netherlands to Curaçao. It includes numerous case studies of sick sailors on these ships during the 1740s along with commentary from Abraham Titsingh 1684-1776 who was a surgeon to the admirality. The work is very rare as it has only been recorded in four libraries and we have only been able to find one other copy in sales records.The numerous case studies presented in the work are incredibly detailed and describe cases on board the ships Middelburg Maarssen Tylingen De Beschermer and Hartekamp primarily in the years 1743 to 1750 but with references to earlier voyages. They give a fascinating picture of illnesses and their treatment during voyages to the Americas. The work covers not only the principal illnesses facing the sailors fevers scurvy diarrhoea dysentery and dropsy but also wounds surgery amputations etc. Each account of sicknesses and treatments during a voyage with names dates and details of the procedures and of the exact composition of medicines given is followed by a lengthy commentary apparently in part by Titsingh who compiled the work. The present copy comes from the library of Dutch physician and zoologist Jan van der Hoeven 1801-1868.With the bookplate of Jan van der Hoeven mounted on the front pastedown. The wrappers are damaged around the spine with some loss of material around the joints the edges of the wrappers are slightly frayed. The work is uncut with a water stain in the head margin throughout not affecting the text. Otherwise in good condition.l Cat. NHSM p. 1020; STCN 314896082 1 copy; WorldCat 907608682 4 copies. unknown
180037722London 1800. Hand-coloured and colour-printed mezzotint engraving by Dunkerton. The most strikingly beautiful flower plates ever to be printed in England.<br/> <br/>"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 Redouté produced under the patronage of L'Héritier 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
