Reid; for the Author and A. Donaldson; sold by A. Millar et al. London 1762. First edition. The author's first book and one of the most important Scottish agricultural treatises of the 18th century.

Badeau wrote “I hardly dare intrude on you at this sacred moment…I am willing to offer my sympathy to you are your dear brother and sisters. Now while the whole country mourns I will not admit that after those who were closest in blood there is no who loved or admired your great father more…than I. Surely no one had more peculiar opportunities to know the wisdom and the genius of your great father to test his full and loyal nature. My life…should for twenty years made me contemplate his career and the constant assistance he gave me by…the informal knowledge I had…in him the solder was truly the development of the man…know not only the soldier by the man. He came towards Genl Grant…so magnanimous and so difficult…unsurpassed for freedom from moral defect. In all my…peculiar knowledge of his character and career I never found a manner a shadow of a vice…My heart has spoken in spite of me. I only want to say to all the sons and daughters of Genl Sherman that after themselves and the others closest in blood no one in the nation has better cause to mourn because no one has more cause to love and admire his memory. Your father and mother were both my friends and you will let me tell you all that…â€. There are some additional words in another’s handwriting. There are a few crossouts and two faint folds that affect little. unknown books

1997407747New Mexico: Arena Editions 1997. A near-fine copy with some slight toning along the sheet edges few bumps on boards dust jacket lightly worn. 12.5 x 9.75 inches. 112 pages. Boards; dust jacket. Second edition. "Adam Fuss has emerged as one of the bold and truly creative artists utilizing photography today. Fuss's photograms clearly break from those of his predecessors Man Ray Moholy-Nagy and Talbot and while striking a chord of homage the images redefine how and what we see in pictures viscerally and intellectually. Like an eighteenth-century experimenter Fuss utilizes organic and raw materials in an unusual approach revealing spiritual and emotional process. Live snakes the entrails of rabbits eggs cow liver sperm flowers and stained glass circumscribe the vital often mysterious energies emitted from these pictures. This book the first major monograph of the artist's work to date has been widely acclaimed as one of the finest art books of 1997. The reprint appears in conjunction with the artist's mid-career retrospective at the Fotomuseum Winterthur Switzerland." <br/><br/> Arena Editions hardcover books
