After becoming a Doctor of Medicine in 1554 he became the town physician in Frankfurt am Main. His true interest though was herbs and the study of botany. He married into the prominent German printing family Egenolph in 1554 which was famous for printing herbals like the Kr uterbuch. Lonicer first published his important and highly influential work on herbs the Kr uterbuch in 1557. The Kr uterbuch is an early example of a bestsellerthe book remained in print in various forms from 1557 through 1783 which is a testament to its lasting appeal and use. Although the name Kr uterbuch literally translates to herb book and most of it is indeed about plants a great deal of the book is devoted to describing the natures and uses of animals metals gemstones and distillation. In this work Lonicer provides us with one of the early descriptions of local flora as well as being one of the first to differentiate deciduous trees from conifers. It is also noted for its woodcuts and descriptions of mythical beats including unicorns dragons gryphons and phoenixes.<br /> <br /> CONDITION REPORT<br /> <br /> GOOD for a 300-year-old folio.

Several of the maps have paper repairs at the folds and in the margins; the third map of the River Volga is a little darkened at the edges and dust-soiled; the two leaves Q4 & R1 adjacent to that map are also a little darkened and dust-soiled; one clean tear to a leaf without loss; very good copy. Folio in fours contemporary mottled calf rebacked red morocco spine label blind rules and gilt lettering. Frontispiece six folding maps two portraits and one engraved Cyrillic alphabet in the text. In 1634 Frederick III of Holstein-Gottorp present day Denmark and Germany sent an expedition with Adam Olearus 1603-1671 as its secretary from Hamburg to Moscow in an attempt to establish commercial relations with Russia which failed. Undeterred Frederick sent a similar expedition to Persia in 1636 also with Adam Olearius as secretary The first part of this work is the first English translation by John Davies of Olearius' detailed account of those expeditions in its second edition. The second part contains the account by German adventurer Johan Albrecht de Mandelslo 1616-1644 of his departure from Frederick's mission to Persia and continuation on to India China Japan and Formosa also translated by Davies from Olearius' posthumous editing and publication of that travelogue. Though trade missions generally make for dull reading Olearius' narrative is quite engaging with details and anecdotes about the people and places they encountered. Typical of his observations is one about the Russians: "There is no place in the World where drunkenness is more common than in Muscovy . . . Ecclesiastics and laicks Men and Women Old and Young will drink strong water at any time before at and after their meals . . . will drink of it till they lye down and many times die in the place." From the library of John Evelyn with the Evelyn book label "JE" on the front paste-down. Early marginal notes in Mandelslo's adventures though not in Evelyn's hand alas.

17751240791775. AMERICAN REVOLUTION BURKE Edmund TUCKER Josiah D.D. An Humble Address and Earnest Appeal to Those Respectable Personages in Great-Britain and Ireland Whether a Connection with or a Separation from the Continental Colonies of America Be Most for the National Advantage and the Lasting Benefit of these Kingdoms. Gloucester: R. Raikes Sold by T. Cadell 1775. Slim octavo period-style half brown morocco and marbled boards raised bands; pp. 1-3 4-93 3. $3200.First corrected edition second overall issued within days of the same year's first edition of the ""important and influential"" British economist's seminal rebuke of Edmund Burke charging him with a crucial misunderstanding how the political economics of self-interest would best prevent further ""Disturbances and Disputes"" with America urging Britain in 1775 to ""separate totally from the Colonies to enter into Alliances of Friendship and Treaties of Commerce as with any other sovereign independent States"" handsomely bound.""A controversial figure during his lifetime"" particularly in his views on the economics of Britain's stance toward the American colonies Tucker was well known to Adam Smith and Founding Fathers Madison and Jefferson who each owned copies of his writings. ""Increasingly recognized as an important and original 18th-century theorist"" ODNB Tucker was ""espousing the cause of American separation as early as 1766 before the Americans themselves had considered this eventuality with any seriousness"" To key scholars ""Tucker analyzed the American conflict more accurately than his contemporaries yet so different were his views from all those around him that he has been noted as a 'visionary' Trevelyan or a 'fanatic' Clark"" Rashid ""Tucker's Proposal"" in Journal of the History of Ideas V43 No.3 439. His assessment of American independence was not motivated ""by any sympathy for the Americans."" Instead ""their rapid economic growth and dislike of regulation would he believed eventually lead them to separate from Britain through self-interest and the developing American crisis over taxation touched upon all Tucker's major interests: the need to maintain a mutually self-interested and beneficial trade between Britain and her colonies his dislike of war and mock patriotism and his distrust of political radicalism"" ODNB. ""Central to Tucker's philosophy of economy is the concept of 'self-love' which became part of Adam Smith's concept of the 'invisible hand' Tucker regarded trade as Britain's glory and went so far as to suggest that the colonies should be detached from Britain to allow greater freedom of trade a view which brought him into conflict with Edmund Burke"" Dictionary of 18th-Century British Philosophers V2:898.When Burke attacked Tucker in the famed March 22 1775 Speech on Conciliation with America Tucker quickly responded with Humble Address. Here he marshals arguments and evidence to counter claims that Britain would lose its profitable commerce if America broke free. Tucker contended the ""greater part of the colonial trade was motivated by self-interest and it was a simple corollary that neither shipping nor navigation could be hurt by the independence of the colonies."" To further support his position he details ""customs-house figures from 1765-72 to show that it was not Americans but Germany and Holland who purchased more British exports than the Americans"" Rashid 454. To F.P. Lock ""Tucker anticipated one of Adam Smith's shrewdest insights that regulations and restrictions impeded commerce rather than protecting it. For Tucker imperialism was uneconomic Let the Americans be independent and they will continue to trade with Britain as long as British goods are competitive Thus Tucker like Smith denied the economic value conventionally attributed to the possession of colonies. Burke disagreed in the 1770s Burke still held to the mercantilist belief that exclusive or preferential trade with its colonies benefits the home country"" Edmund Burke I:388. Copies of Tucker's works ""including those on the colonies are found to be in Adam Smith's library"" Rashid 456 and works by Tucker in Jefferson's library included Humble Address ""initialed by Jefferson"" Sowerby 3061.

Smith's originality lies in locating the roots of this comparative wealth in the specialisation of labour which had occurred in developed economies for the 'annual labour of every nation is the fund which originally supplies it with all the necessaries and conveniences of life which it annually consumes and which consist always either in the immediate produce of that labour or in what is purchased with that produce from other nations' Introduction.<br /> ESTC T95114; Tribe 50.

1781159019Yverdon: De Felice 1781. An attractive set Second edition in book form of Blavet's translation of The Wealth of Nations the earliest obtainable. Jean-Louis Blavet 1719-c.1809 was librarian for the prince du Conti; he had already published a translation of The Theory of Moral Sentiments in 1774-75. Blavet later claimed that Smith personally requested he translate The Wealth of Nations and sent him a copy. Blavet's translation was first published periodically in the Journal de l'agriculture from February 1779 to December 1780 and in book form in Paris earlier in 1781 in an edition of only 20 copies offprinted from the Journal de l'agriculture appearance. Only two copies of that edition are now known Carpenter p. 33. This edition was printed in Switzerland and apparently distributed largely outside France. Blavet claimed to not have been involved but "evidence suggests otherwise" ibid. p. 36. The Wealth of Nations was first published in French in 1778-79 by an unknown translator; Carpenter notes it as full of errors. Blavet's translation marks the second appearance in the language. 6 vols duodecimo 161 x 95 mm. Contemporary mottled calf twin orange and green spine labels marbled endpapers red edges. Contemporary annotation to vol. V p. 240. Slight wear at extremities slight worming to spines still a very attractive set contents clean. Tribe 24. Kenneth E.

3 vols., 8vo., Sixth Edition, early nineteenth-century signature on titles, some light and inoffensive spotting to a few leaves, some very ight marginalia in pencil only; strongly and attractively bound in nineteenth century half calf, boards in dark green diced cloth, backs with five raised bands tooled in gilt, second and fourth compartments with red leather labels ruled, lettered and numbered in gilt, red sprinkled edges, a remarkably well-preserved, crisp, clean copy in later period binding. One of 2000 copies printed. 'The Wealth of Nations', coming at a point when 'natural liberty' was being being widely debated, had a decisive influence both on the study of national economy and on the freeing of economic policy from the artificial restraint of the mercantilist system. Smith's statement that labour is the source of a nation's commodities and that the variation in 'stock' values are due to the interaction of wages, profits and rent, formulated the doctrine of the classic school of economic thought, and round it all modern economic discussion has revolved' (PMM).

Adam Smith 1723-1790 spent ten years in the writing and perfecting of The Wealth of Nations. ìThe book succeeded at once and the first edition was exhausted in six months.Whether it be true or not as Buckle said that the ëWealth of Nationsà was ëin its ultimate results probably the most important that had ever been writtenÃ.it is probable that no book can be mentioned which so rapidly became an authority both with statesmen and philosophersî D.N.B. ìThe history of economic theory up to the end of the nineteenth century consists of two parts: the mercantilist phase which was based not so much on a doctrine as on a system of practice which grew out of social conditions; and the second phase which saw the development of the theory that the individual had the right to be unimpeded in the exercise of economic activity. While it cannot be said that Smith invented the latter theory . . . his work is the first major expression of it. He begins with the thought that labour is the source from which a nation derives what is necessary to it.

Octavo 3 volumes bound in one quarter modern calf over cloth-covered boards with gilt titles and five raised bands to the spine. Volumes I and III are seventh editions 1793 Vol. II is a fifth edition 1789. In near fine condition. An attractive set. Adam Smith's masterpiece first published in 1776 is the foundation of modern economic thought and remains the single most important account of the rise of and the principles behind modern capitalism. "The history of economic theory up to the end of the nineteenth century consists of two parts: the mercantilist phase which was based not so much on a doctrine as on a system of practice which grew out of social conditions; and the second phase which saw the development of the theory that the individual had the right to be unimpeded in the exercise of economic activity. While it cannot be said that Smith invented the latter theory.his work is the first major expression of it. He begins with the thought that labour is the source from which a nation derives what is necessary to it. The improvement of the division of labour is the measure of productivity and in it lies the human propensity to barter and exchange.Labour represents the three essential elements-wages profit and rent-and these three also constitute income. From the working of the economy Smith passes to its matter -'stock'- which encompasses all that man owns either for his own consumption or for the return which it brings him. The Wealth of Nations ends with a history of economic development a definitive onslaught on the mercantile system and some prophetic speculations on the limits of economic control.The Wealth of Nations is not a system but as a provisional analysis it is complete convincing. The certainty of its criticism and its grasp of human nature have made it the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought" PMM. Printed for A. Strahan and T. Cadell, in the Strand hardcover

'<b>'</b>Although Adam Smith did not create the study of political economy <i>The Wealth Of Nations </i>coming at a point when 'natural liberty' was being debated had a decisive influence both on the study of national economy and on the freeing of economic policy from the artificial restraint of the mercantilist system. Smith's statement that labour is the source of a nation's commodities and that the variations in 'stock'' values are due to the interaction of wages profits and rent formulated the doctrine of the classic school of economic thought and round it all modern economic discussion has revolved."'

02146321.4 cm x 16.4 cm. Photograph by Adam Clark Vroman Koshari-Pueblo of Santo Domingo ca. 1900. Between 1895 and 1904 Adam Clark Vroman photographed the landscape and native peoples of the American Southwest. He photographed the Hopis Zunis and Pueblos among other tribes. His portraits of Native Americans humanize rather than romanticize his subjects. The process he used most frequently was the platinotype or platinum print known for its non-reflective surface rich detail broad tonal range and permanence. The platinum process was widely used in the United States and Europe from 1880 through the 1930s when the cost of platinum became prohibitive and the silver-based processes gained prominence. Vroman moved to Pasadena California in 1892. He soon opened a book stationery and photo-supply shop there in November of 1894. He traveled through southern California Arizona and New Mexico on seven separate trips from 1895 to 1904 to document the area's landscape Indians and Indian communities. Vroman was employed as a photographer by the Bureau of American Ethnology a research unit of the Smithsonian Institution for two separate trips to the Southwest the former involving a climb to the Enchanted Mesa in central New Mexico to prove the existence of Indian habitation and the latter a documentation of Southwestern pueblos and cliff dwellings. books
