An extremely scarce scientific work on volcanos the second volume with several corrections and inserted notes in the authorâ€™s hand. With the atlas of 17 plates. Bylandt-Palstercampâ€™sÂ ThÃ©orie des volcansÂ is a result of more than thirty years of research and survey of volcanos while the author visited the mountain chains of Europe Asia and America. In this three-volume monumental work he delineates many interesting and curious discoveries and revelations about the volcanos in general and the volcanic phenomena. Discusses his theories about the distinct elevation and the different shapes of the volcanos the fixed orientation of their summits slopes and orifices and the specific location of the volcanos around the globe. The author attributes the currents of the sea to volcanic activities correlates earthquakes to the same phenomena and shows the relation between mount altitudes and magnetic power. Bylandt-Palstercamp classifies the mountains the lavas and the operation of the volcanos and defines a general law to determine the formation of volcanic cones. The work is appended with an album of seventeen large plates to illustrate the subject. Not much is known about the author besides the present work and it's preliminary pamphlet we couldnâ€™t find anything else he published. The preliminary contains the same text as â€œAvant-proposâ€ of the present book vol. 1. pp. 1â€“83 with some minor stylistic and typographical changes and was published twice under the titleÂ RÃ©sumÃ© prÃ©liminaire de lâ€™ouvrage sur la ThÃ©orie des volcans in Naples in 1833 and under a slightly different title in Paris in 1834. The second volume of our copy contains several annotations corrections and deletions in the authorâ€™s hand. The shorter notes and corrections are in pencil in the text and the longer ones written in ink on separate small papers are inserted into the gutter at the corresponding locations. The extent of these notes varies mostly the length of a paragraph some are longer like a 2-page one supplementing the section â€œInfluence volcaniqueâ€ on p. 38 and a 4-page revision of the text of â€œEffects des Eauxâ€ on pp. 54â€“57. The section on Basalt on pp. 329â€“362 was corrected in pencil more heavily than the others and a 16-page supplement in ink on Bohemia was added to the end of the volume corresponding with the text on p. 396. The album printed the subsequent year in 1836 contains 17 lithograph plates of maps views and diagrams in three different large sizes each designed by Bylandt-Palstercamp. Most of the plates are maps 12 and the others are views some bear more than one and/or diagrams. The majority of the plates are folio size and folded once ca. 72 Ã— 54 cm four are half of this size unfolded and three plates are extra large folded twice ca. 98 Ã— 66 cm. 1: AtmosphÃ¨re â€¦. 2: Carte GÃ©nÃ©rale Des Courants Volcaniques Et De Leur Influence Sur Le SystÃ¨me De La Terre. 3: Carte Du Foyer Oriental. 4: Carte Du Foyer Occidental. 5.

SMITH, Adam; GROUCHY, Sophie de (trans)Biblio.com

Théorie des sentimens moraux

1830129378Paris: Chez Barrois l'Ainé 1830. Second edition first published in 1798 of Sophie de Grouchy's translation the "the best available in her language" Ross p. 365 which brought Smith's work to a much broader French audience following two ineffectual translations and which remains the standard French text. The edition includes de Grouchy's Lettres sur la sympathie her notable contribution to moral philosophy. The translation was preceded in French editions by Marc-Antoine Eidous's translation of 1764 roundly criticized for its low quality and held by Smith to be responsible for the poor reception of his work on the continent and Jean-Louis Blavet's translation of 1774-5 which was poorly disseminated. A manuscript translation by Louis Alexandre Duc de la Rochefoucauld 1774 was abandoned and unpublished. In contrast de Grouchy's translation was praised from the start and commended for its faithfulness to the original text. "Smith was no longer alive by the time Grouchy published her own translation 1798; he died in 1790 but it is safe to say that he would have been happier with hers as she followed the text as precisely as she could attempting to capture the tone and rhythm as well as the multilayered meanings of his sentences" Bergès and Schliesser p. 9. The edition also includes a translation of Smith's Dissertation on the Origin of Language first published in The Philological Miscellany and thereafter appended to the third and subsequent editions of the Theory of Moral Sentiments. The translation was reprinted again in 1860; Tribe mentions a printing of 1820 p. 239 but does not list it in his catalogue and it cannot be traced presumably an error. De Grouchy was a prominent salon hostess during the French Revolution and under Napoleon. The Lettres sur la Sympathie appended to the translation form a response to Smith's Moral Sentiments but also offer an original and important contribution to moral philosophy. The text written from around 1791 to 1793 takes the form of eight letters addressed to C sometimes surmised as to her husband the philosopher Condorcet more probably her brother-in-law the physiologist and philosopher Pierre Jean Georges Cabanis. De Grouchy in the first letter sets out her project to find the origins of sympathy and over the following letters sustains her argument that they are physiological based in experienced or imagined pain and pleasure. The Lettres have long been recognized in French scholarship - Jean-Paul de Lagrave's French edition of 1994 lists at least 15 works in French dealing with her from 1887 to 1987. In English scholarship her work has been recognized only more recently. English translations were published - independent from Smith's Theory - in 2008 edited and translated by Karin Brown and James E. McClellan III and 2019 edited and translated by Sandrine Bergès and Eric Schliesser both containing lengthy introductory monographs confirming the originality and importance of the Lettres. Karin Brown in 2008 bemoaned de Grouchy's then invisibility in English scholarship - "the Lettres are certainly a notable if overlooked Enlightenment text. But more specifically there is significant recent interest in sympathy and sensibility in the literature of the eighteenth century and Sophie de Grouchy is the one contemporary woman philosopher who thought and wrote critically about sympathy. This otherwise informed and eye-opening scholarly reinterpretation of the role of sentiment in late-eighteenth century thought is unaware of Sophie de Grouchy or her contributions" Brown and McClellan p. xvi. 2 vols octavo 203 x 117 mm. Contemporary red paper-covered boards spine and covers lettered and tooled in gilt covers additionally ornately panelled in blind marbled edges. Contemporary school presentation bookplate. Wear around extremities spines a little sunned foxed yet overall an attractive copy. Tribe 141; Vanderblue p. 41.
