Original printed wrappers light wear spine reinforced with archival tape three rubberstamps on blank portions with ornamental borders stitched. 49 3 blanks pp. Very Good. <br/><br/> This scarce pamphlet is the address of 'An Israelite to the Christian World' asserting "that Israelites view with as much concern and regret as devout Christians the lamentable attempts to instil disbelief in a Divine revelation." Lindo argues that God's Covenant with the Jews "has never been intermitted but has always been and still continues to be in operation." Through the revelation they received at Sinai "the world is indebted for the civilization it now enjoys and will continue to be indebted for the preservation of that civilization." Christianity he says was "originally a Jewish sect adhering strictly to the monotheism of the Old Testament" but it has "gradually become so perverted as to remove it from what it was originally." <br/>FIRST EDITION.

1849023028The Wernerian Club 1849. Published in three parts with title page printed in red and black and dated 1849-50. Octavo 143 pages slight occasional age-toning on the text pages two small marginal stamps of Worthing Public Librarybut otherwise extrmely clean internally. Recently bound in an attractive dark green loire cloth very slightly marked. RARE. The most complete edition in any language. Originally published in German in 1774 - "Von den äusserlichen Kennzeichen der Fossilien" - it was later translated by Thomas Weaver Dublin 1805 which had the benefit of incorporating manuscript corrections by the author himself additions which he had circulated amongst his pupils notes taken during his lectures in 1791-92 and hints from the mineralogies of his disciples Wiedenmann and Emmerling. This final edition published by the Wernerian Society incorporates these additions into the same text making them as near as might be to the same text. RARE. The Wernerian Natural History Society 1808 - 1858 commonly abbreviated as the Wernerian Society was a learned society interested in the broad field of natural history and saw papers presented on various topics such as mineralogy plants insects and scholarly expeditions. The Society was an offshoot of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and from its beginnings it was a rather elite organization. This publication was probably the last they produced as there were no meetings from 1850-1856 which coincided with the decline of the president Robert Jameson. It was eventually decided to close the Society down and dispose of its assets. Werner 1749 - 1817 was a German geologist who set out an early theory about the stratification of the Earth's crust and propounded a history of the Earth that came to be known as Neptunism. While most tenets of Neptunism were eventually set aside Werner is remembered for his demonstration of chronological succession in rocks; for the zeal with which he infused his pupils; and for the impulse he thereby gave to the study of geology. He has been called the "father of German geology". Cloth. Very Good. The Wernerian Club Hardcover

186332820640<p>Mammoth albumen print 17 ½ x 22 in mounted oval gilt-rule mat. Retouched vignetted enlargement. A few spots some toning. Very good condition.</p><p>This famous "Gettysburg portrait" with Lincoln looking directly into the camera was made just days before he delivered the Gettysburg Address on November 19 1863.</p><p>A giant of American photography Alexander Gardner is credited with introducing the large-format Imperial portrait to the United States while working as a staff photographer for Mathew Brady. Gardner left Brady's employ in early 1863 and his studio quickly rivaled Brady's for the quality and extent of its war and portrait photography. Gardner first photographed Lincoln as president-elect while working for Brady and he went on to take Lincoln's portrait more than any other photographer.</p><p>Lincoln sat for Gardner on several occasions usually visiting his studio on Sunday to avoid crowds. Lincoln sat for this splendid portrait on Sunday November 8 1863. His private secretaries John Hay and John Nicolay joined him. Hay noted in his diary that "We had a great many pictures taken … some of the Prest. the best I have seen." This print emphasizes Lincoln's head and shoulders enlarging them to a size rarely seen.</p><p>The gilt-ruled paper mat is characteristic of the 1860s and 1870s with this style of mat being popular during this period. Moses Rice subsequently had access to Gardner's negatives and routinely signed his prints with his name suggesting that Gardner himself made this enlargement. He died in 1882.</p><p>The photography session of November 8 1863 also produced the mammoth portrait we offer for $95000. That photograph and the present are among the only early mammoth Lincoln portraits we have ever encountered.</p><p>This is the only mammoth example of the famous Gettysburg portrait that we have seen.</p><p>Ostendorf O-77</p>
185013208Washington DC: Office of Printers to the House of Reps 1850. First Edition. Hardcover. Good . Octavo 626pp. illustrated plus six plates. A good or better copy in contemporary 3/4 black leather and marbled boards. Contemporary ownership signature to front free endpaper and small private library label to front paste-down else unmarked. Mild foxing to first and last few leaves. Extremities rubbed and scuffed and the joints tender but sound. An important volume in the pantheon of presidential books which chronicles on pp. 57 and 262 the award of a patent to then-Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln. Having twice been aboard a riverboat which got stuck on shallow shoals he developed a concept for a bellows fixed under the hull of a riverboat which could be inflated to lift the boat over the obstruction and then retract. Lincoln had been a patent lawyer in the mid-1840s and was closely familiar with the laborious patent application process. <br /> <br /> To this day Lincoln is the only president to have been awarded a patent a fact which contributes to his enduring legacy as an uncommon genius and polymath. As such this tract while unrelated to politics is an essential volume in any substantial Lincoln collection. Uncommon in the trade. Not listed in Monaghan.
