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.

15958359Antwerp Plantin-Moretus 1595. Copper engraving 37 x 50 cms black and white small hole at centrefold Latin text to verso. Shirley notes that the map is a general improvement on the previous Mercator-Ortelius outline and draws attention to a detail which vividly suggests the personal involvement of the map-maker Welsh antiquary Humphrey Lluyd: the Caernarvon peninsula near Lluyds home town of Denbigh is badly distorted but it has been suggested very reasonably that this may have been due to Lluyds attempt to sketch this in by eye from the nearby mountains. Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum is generally considered the first modern atlas of the world originally published in 1570. Ortelius gathered and selected the best available cartographic knowledge and presented it in a single volume duly credited and finely engraved in a consistent style with explanatory text. The Theatrum was very decorative and hugely popular amongst the wealthy and educated running into over forty editions in Latin and the major European languages. Shirley British Isles 185.

Vieusseux, 1840, in-8, Front, VI-358 pp, Demi-basane tabac, Le frontispice gravé sur cuivre par l'auteur, le peintre sur porcelaine Abraham Constantin (1785-1855), représente la maison de la Fornarina à Rome. Édition originale de ce texte écrit à quatre mains et publié sous le nom de Constantin seul. Stendhal surnommait cet ami proche "Tantin", "Tantincons" ou encore "Constantin Porcelaine", en référence à son activité. Ils furent compagnons au cours du long séjour italien de Beyle commencé en 1836. La part des deux auteurs est désormais bien établie, grâce aux travaux de Sandra Teroni et Hélène de Jacquelot, publiés en préface de la réédition des Idées italiennes (Paris, Beaux-Arts de Paris, 2013). Plusieurs observations ajoutées par Stendhal sont parfois empruntées aux Promenades dans Rome ou à l'Histoire de la peinture en Italie. L'ouvrage a été conçu par les deux amis comme un guide des tableaux et des bâtiments italiens, à l'usage des voyageurs étrangers. Étiquette ex-libris "R.N." Petites rousseurs, dos passé et épidermé.

There were numerous editions thereafter with texts in various languages; the printing of such was taken over by Chrstoffel Plantijn in 1579 . Ortelius himself drew all the maps in manuscript before passing them to the printers. there is conjecture that he may have engraved some of the plates as well The 1595 Latin text edition is the most complete produced during his lifetime containing all the maps of the 1593 edition plus those of the the"Additamentum" and the"Pareragon" or Ancient geography. The " Additamenta" were supplements to the original Atlas; at the same time Ortelius replaced some maps with new ones showing the same place; some plates were also reworked . Ortelius was Geographer Royal To Phillip II of Spain from 1575. He also worked closely with Braun & Hogenburg on the "Civitas Orbis Terarum". After his death the plates were purchased by Jan Baptiste Vrients in 1601 who published further editions until 1612. Van de Krogt :3; .Koeman: Ort29 8998 Zacherakis: 2497; van den Broecke:147a.

1864377694Philadelphia: Published by Mason & Co 1864. 16pp. 16mo. Publisher's wrappers with a portrait of Lincoln on the front and advertisements for political emblems badges pins etc. on the verso. Minor staining. Housed in a morocco backed slipcase. 16pp. 16mo. A pocket songster printed to support Lincoln's reelection campaign in 1864 featuring a rather youthful portrait of the president on the front wrapper and twelve spirited pro-Union songs. The titles largely military in theme include such works as "Give us Noble Leaders" "The Veteran Volunteer" "Cast Your Votes for Abraham" "For Lincoln or McClellan you'll be called on to decide/ The one to save the union the other to divide" and "We are Coming Father Abraham 600000 More." <br /> <br /> The advertisements on the rear wrapper encourage readers to purchase a wide variety of Lincoln campaign badges emblems pins and photographs from the publishers. Despite Lincoln's overwhelming electoral victory in 1864 the race was rather close in Pennsylvania where this was printed - Lincoln took Philadelphia County by a scant few percent and actually failed to secure a majority in neighboring Montgomery and Bucks counties.

1864101729Np New York: For sale by all News Agents. Price $1 per 100. 1864. 4to. Broadside text in two columns; creased from prior folding and split at creases some toning and paper clip rust staining. Republic campaign broadside reprinting an interview with Lincoln by former Wisconsin State Assemblyman Joseph T. Mills and former state Governor Alexander Williams Randall. Lincoln vigorously defends the use of Black soldiers in the Union Army against Democratic candidate McClellan's strategy of leniency towards Southern States rejoining the Union: "The slightest knowledge of Arithmetic will prove to any man that the rebel armies cannot be destroyed with Democratic strategy. It would sacrifice all the white men of the North to do it. There are now in the service of the United States near 200000 able-bodied colored men most of them under arms defending and acquiring Union territory. The Democratic strategy demands that these forces be disbanded and that the masters be conciliated by restoring them to slavery. Will you give our enemies such military advantages. to get them back into the Union Abandon all the posts now garrisoned by black men take 200000 men from our side and put them in the battle-field or corn-field against us and we would be compelled to abandon the war in three weeks. . There have been men base enough to propose to me to return to slavery the black warriors of Port Hudson and Olustee and thus win the respect of the masters they fought. Should I do so I should deserve to be damned in time and eternity. My enemies pretend I am now carrying on this war for the sole purpose of abolition. So long as I am president it shall be carried on for the sole purpose of restoring the Union. But no human power can subdue this Rebellion without the use of the emancipation policy and every other policy calculated to weaken the moral and physical forces of the Rebellion." This is the first separate printing of the interview which was first published as "The Loyal Road to Peace and the Disloyal Road to Ruin President Lincoln on Democratic Strategy" in the Wisconsin Grant County Herald August 1864. The broadside also prints Grant's letter to E.B. Washbourne "The Rebels have now in their ranks their last man. The little boys and old men are guarding prisoners guarding railroad bridges and forming a good part of their garrisons for entrenched positions " and a poem by Bayard Taylor on the Democrats' presidential nominating convention.

5190ABRAHAM LINCOLN ASSASSINATION. Newspaper. 4pg. 10 ¼†x 13 ¾â€. Sunday April 16 1865. San Francisco. A The Flag’s Evening Dispatch from San Francisco detailing the death of President Lincoln. It is printed in four columns with mourning borders with front-page coverage of the assassination and its aftermath. The left column has headlines including Booth being the killer and that Johnson is the new President. There is an announcement by the San Francisco mayor that there will be a funeral for the President and news from the country’s interior. An editorial argues that the assassination argues “Let the fires of retribution sweep across the land accursed by treason. Let the sacrificial fires be lighted and the bodies of the hellish monsters who originated and took part in the conspiracy be offered up as a partial though tardy atonement for the destruction of the nation's peace.†There are the usual folds and a few minor edge tears and repaired fold separations.

186536639New York 1865. Elephant Folio. 8pp. Each page printed in six columns. Uncut at top edge. Very Good. A contemporary hand has written in pencil at the top blank margin "His last Proclamation. Keep this Paper."<br/><br/> This was Lincoln's "Last Public Address" Abraham Lincoln Online. This issue of the Times appearing the following day is surely a candidate for its earliest printing. His Speech discloses Lincoln's most recent thoughts on Reconstruction the War having virtually ended by the surrender of Lee's Army at Appomattox Court House on April 9. Reconstruction he says is "fraught with great difficulty. We simply must begin with and mould from disorganized and discordant elements. Nor is it a small additional embarrassment that we the loyal people differ among ourselves as to the mode manner and means of reconstruction."<br/> Lincoln emphasizes his flexibility. He disclaims any intention to insist upon a single comprehensive plan. He makes clear that "the Executive claimed no right to say when or whether members should be admitted to seats in Congress" from the rebellious States. He remarks that he has never pronounced on the interesting legal question "whether the seceding States so called are in the Union or out of it." Such an issue has no practical significance. "We all agree that the seceded States so called are out of their proper relation with the Union; and that the sole object of the government civil and military in regard to those States is to again get them into that proper practical relation." Lincoln will act as circumstances require the only criterion being whether the proposed policy will expedite that "proper practical relation." It is obvious that Lincoln had he lived would have been much more successful than his dogmatic and inflexible successor at guiding Reconstruction.<br/> This issue treats many other issues arising from the War's end including the topic "What shall be done with Jeff.
