First edition, good copy. Frontespizio in rosso e nero. Prima edizione in ottime condizioni di conservazione di questa raccolta illustrata di esperimenti relativi alla misurazione di umidità, pressione atmosferica, la struttura del ghiaccio, caldo e freddo, capillarità, ottica, il movimento del suono, il magnete, ecc. Esemplare con leggerissima ed uniforme brunitura dovuta alla tipica qualità della carta utilizzata a Leida ma non fastidiosa e meno intense che nelle altre copie conosciute e nel complesso bellissimo esemplare. Opera di estrema importanza per la storia della fisica moderna. Qui è presente anche la prima descrizione del pirometro (Pyrometer chiamato così da Musschenbroek), uno strumento per misurare la dilatazione dei corpi solidi quando esposti al calore. Pieter van Musschenbroek (1692-1761), professore di fisica a Leida, fu un grande ammiratore di Newton e Desaguliers. Iniziatore della fisica sperimentale in Olanda, il suo insegnamento fu particolarmente apprezzato per la qualità dei suoi esperimenti. L’eccellenza delle sue lezioni aiutò a mantenere la reputazione che l’Università di Leida aveva acquisito sotto Boerhaave e Gravesande, continuando ad attrarre studenti provenienti da tutta Europa, tra i quali Jean Antoine Nollet che divenne poi il primo professore di fisica sperimentale presso l’Università di Parigi. Il suo nome rimane legato all’invenzione della così detta “bottiglia di Leida” che ebbe un’importanza cruciale sulle ricerche riguardanti l’elettricità. La bottiglia di Leida costituisce la forma più antica di condensatore. Fu utilizzata per condurre molti dei primi esperimenti sull’elettricità durante la seconda metà del XVIII secolo. In questo libro, l’autore, raccoglie e presenta con commenti, integrazioni e spiegazioni diversi esperimenti fisici portati avanti nell’Accademia del Cimento. Il tutto è preceduto da un discorso sulla storia e i fondamenti della fisica sperimentale. L’opera contiene anche la prima traduzione in latino dell’opera del Magalotti “Saggi di naturali esperienze”, fatta dallo stesso Petrus van Musschenbroek che aggiunse ad essa le sue “Oratio de methodo instituendi experimenta physica” i “Commentarii” (o “Additamenta”) e “Nova Experimenta” che contengono importantissime aggiunte e nuove esperienze pratiche mai prima provate. Tra gli esperimenti effettuati molti “deal with the mechanics of rigid bodies, air pressure, heat, cohesion, capillarity, phosphorescence, magnetism, and electricity. Many of these experiments have become classics in elementary instruction. One of the better-known apparatuses is the pyrometer (the name was given by Musschenbroek) first described in the Tentamina of 1731…” (Dict. of Scientific Biogr., vol. 9, pp. 594-6). Prima non comune edizione in ottime condizioni di conservazione. Rare. A good copy. Bibl.: Wellcome Vol. 4 p. 23; Graesse IV, 637 e VI, 218; Wheeler Gift Cat. 276.

Leithold, which was published in 1849 (Berlin, Mittler). That the barricades will play the lead role in the defense against external enemies is the assumption on which the book elaborates. In doing so it chronicles numerous street battles and barricade wars throughout history, crowning Paris as "The Mother of Barricades War". The book analyses the campaigns in much detail, adds footnotes and completes with a bibliography. Five finely engraved street maps help to understand some specific battles. Rare.

1st edition, original cloth with dust jacket, 8vo. Vii+527 pages. In Yiddish and English. The first in a series of Yiddish polemical pamphlets (Diskursn) appeared one week before the elections to the second National Assembly in the Republic of the Netherlands on August 1, 1797. Inspired by the expanded freedom of the press and the satirical and often vulgar Spectatorial writings which were popular at the time, a small but energetic group of enlightened Jews in Amsterdam decided the previous summer to publish a periodical. These Yiddish polemical pamphlets would serve as an informative and propagandistic vehicle through which members of the new community could anonymously persuade the Jews of Amsterdam to choose the party of progress and enlightenment. The author or authors inveighed strongly against the alleged abuses in the established community and those they held responsible, the parnosim (board of directors) and their officials. In order to reach the Jewish masses in a city with about 20, 000 Ashkenazic Jewish inhabitants, the reformers chose to write the Diskursn in Amsterdam Yiddish. Their efforts were so successful that the established community thought it necessary to enter the fray by publishing its own version of a thirteenth installment shortly before the thirteenth installment of the original series was due to appear. From then on, two series of Diskursn competed for public favor. Using criticism, salacious gossip, slander, and accusations, the same three or four main characters and a few secondary ones railed against the excesses and foibles of the other community. Both series ended after the parnosim of the old community were deposed in the early spring of 1798. By then, 24 Diskursn from the new community and 11 from the established community had appeared, together more than 500 printed pages. Of course we cannot judge the two communities fairly based on the texts of the Diskursn. Both sought to discredit their opponents with stories of whores, sexual scandals, illegitimate children, hypocrisy, religious violations, bankruptcy, and fraud. Nevertheless, the pamphlets describe the environment of Amsterdam Jewry and reveal what interested those Jews and how they responded to revolutionary changes. All of this is depicted by inventive authors who came up time and again with different, often humorous settings for their volleys of curses and torrents of abuse. These Yiddish polemical pamphlets are a rare phenomenon, not just in the history of Jewish communities in the period of emancipation, but in the histories of Yiddish literature and satirical/polemical periodicals as well. This is the first-ever bilingual edition of a major portion of this collection of documents and the first time any of them have been published in English translation. A lengthy introduction and five appendices help the reader understand and appreciate these colorful Dutch Jews and their often impassioned arguments. Near perfect condition, Very Good Condition Overall. (AC-6-11)
