1770272311770. Paintings. Otherwise very good condition. Seven expertly painted watercolors of Eastern Russian folk people in traditional dress. These are most likely painted for or copied from one of Pallas' books "Reise durch verschiedene Provinzen des Russischen Reichs" 1771-76 later published in English "Journey Through Southern Provinces of the Russian Empire". They all bear penciled numbers in the lower right possibly correlating with plates in a Pallas work. Three paintings have manuscript captions in ink: 'Kosak Woman of Tsherkash' 'Tirgishian Tartar' 'A Kalmak of the lower class.' All are numbered in pencil in lower right corner: 1 3 18 56 65 67 68 . The image "Kosak Woman" caption is followed by an ink name "Pallas". The other 4 watercolors have no captions and subjects include a Woman with a cape Man with floor length fur lined coat and hat Man with long beard golden helmet and fur lined coat; and a Woman carrying a basket on her back and under her arm. Four paintings are 8 x 10" other 3 are 7 x 9" painted on thick paper with two ink border lines some thin and some thick. The image of the Tirgishian Tartar has four small holes in the corners. All have been removed from an album. Peter Simon Pallas 1741 - 1811 German naturalist who advanced a theory of mountain formation and by the age of 15 had outlined new classifications of certain animal groups. In 1761 he went to England to study natural-history collections and to make geological observations. He was appointed professor of natural history at the Imperial Academy of Sciences St. Petersburg in 1768. About the same time he joined a scientific expedition to Russia and Siberia. For the next six years he traveled across the length and breadth of the vast empire. He found a wide distribution of mammoth and rhinoceros fossils including some with their hairy hides preserved in the Siberian ice. He returned to St. Petersburg in 1774 with a great amount of data and many fossil specimens but he had ruined his health. He published his major findings from the expedition in three volumes Reise durch verschiedene Provinzen des russischen Reichs 1771-76 later published in English "Journey Through Various Provinces of the Russian Empire". His chief geological contribution based largely on his study of the Ural and Altai mountain ranges of Siberia was the recognition of a temporal sequence of rocks from the center to the flanks of a range. unknown

Voyages et Avantures de Jaques Massé

17103201143Bordeaux: chez Jacques l'Aveugle 1710. Extremities slightly rubbed rebacked corners reinforced a very good copy. Duodecimo with woodcut device on title; original sprinkled calf binding. First edition Rosenberg edition 'A' of this important imaginary voyage to Australia: a "landmark" in the development of the French voyage novel Atkinson. Friederich comments that the importance of mining and irrigation to the Australians makes it the only work "to foreshadow what has actually come to pass in modern Australia". This is an attractive copy of this precursor to Defoe set on the Australian continent among people obsessed with mining and the problems of irrigation: "the detailed account of the adventurer's camp in the Austral continent the building of a raft and the descriptions of plants and trees may be compared favourably to similar passages in Robinson Crusoe." Atkinson. The author Tyssot de Patot was a remarkable figure an English-born Huguenot and self-taught philosopher with a background in mathematics who at the impressive age of 72 suddenly scandalized his Dutch community and was run out of town as a dangerous heretic. He wrote two wonderfully inventive imaginary voyages both well ahead of their time: one was an account of a journey deep underground into a hollow earth while the present work tells the story of a veteran sailor called Jacques Massé who shipwrecks in the far southern reaches of the Indian Ocean not far from what is now Kerguelen Island. Delighted with the new world he discovers Massé denounces his European heritage only to be betrayed and have to flee to the coast where he is besieged for 12 years before being finally rescued by a Portuguese ship. The work was a modest bestseller of the era and the question of editions has been thoroughly investigated by Aubrey Rosenberg no small task given that all four major editions are dated 1710 on the title-page. Rosenberg argues that this edition 'A' in his list with an armillary sphere device on the title with its base pointing to the left was probably published between 1714 and 1717 and is the true first edition of the work. As Rosenberg points out this series of editions dispels the notion that interest in Tyssot quickly died out: in fact the staggered publications argue a sustained interest in the work throughout the eighteenth century. Tyssot de Patot's writings were a continual source of scandal: Voltaire thought that he had "carried the torch of discord into their homeland". Certainly the antagonistically anti-religious stance of this novel created much ill-feeling. Atkinson comments that because "open criticism of the Bible is so frequent" he will have to content himself with listing just a few of the more extreme examples. Nonetheless Atkinson's positive summary gives a good sense of the importance of the work: "a close following of accounts of real travellers such as Dellon Tavernier Mocquet and Lahontan. There is nothing fantastic unbelievable or overdrawn in the descriptions of the Austral continent.". --- The story has Massé shipwrecking on the Southern continent at "44 South latitude almost at the point where Kerguelen Island will be found to be on modern maps" Atkinson. Whilst most of the survivors of the wreck are content to maintain a large presence on the coast Massé and his friend Moret travel inland where they settle in an enormous and well-organised utopia "a plentiful fruitful country a land of blessing and peace . where human blood is sacred and safe from the rage and tyranny of great men". They become so enamoured of their Australian hosts that they abjure their faith and their European heritage and it is only when Moret is betrayed by his liaison with a treacherous queen that they reluctantly flee escaping rather fortuitously by a subterranean river which deposits them close by the original settlement. They remain besieged in the camp for another twelve years before they are finally picked up by a Portuguese ship. . Provenance: James Hustler "of Acklam in Cleveland in the North Riding of the Country of York Esq." engraved armorial bookplate dated 1730; Bernard Gore Brett Melbourne book collector. chez Jacques l'Aveugle unknown

Voyages et Avantures de Jacques Massé

17343006519Cologne: Jaques Kainkus 1734. Slight wear to top and tail of spine otherwise fine. Duodecimo frontispiece title-page printed in black and red; contemporary sprinkled calf spine gilt in compartments. A handsome copy of the third edition Rosenberg edition 'C' with frontispiece portrait of Massé and title-page vignette of Mercury. Friederich comments that the importance of mining and irrigation to the Australians makes it the only work 'to foreshadow what has actually come to pass in modern Australia'. Tyssot de Patot was a well-known Huguenot free-thinker whose writings were a continual source of scandal: Voltaire thought that he had 'carried the torch of discord into their homeland'. Certainly the antagonistically anti-religious stance of this novel created much ill-feeling. Atkinson comments that because 'open criticism of the Bible is so frequent' he will have to content himself with listing just a few of the more extreme examples. Massé shipwrecks on the Southern continent at '44 South latitude almost at the point where Kerguelen Island will be found to be on modern maps' Atkinson. Whilst most of the survivors of the wreck are content to maintain a large presence on the coast Massé and his friend Moret travel inland where they settle in an enormous and well-organised utopia 'a plentiful fruitful country a land of blessing and peace . where human blood is sacred and safe from the rage and tyranny of great men'.

They remain besieged in the camp for another twelve years before they are finally picked up by a Portuguese ship. Rosenberg argues for a date of around 1734 for this edition to coincide with the renewed interest in Tyssot's work at the time he cites 1733 English and 1737 German editions. His theory is that this renewal of interest 'arose because it was confused with Mandeville's Fable of the Bees which by 1730 had achieved considerable notoriety'. . Provenance: Frédéric Lachèvre 1855-1943 writer and bibliographer with his romantic bookplate and armorial gilt stamp on front board. Oddly enough the National Library of Australia has Lachèvre's copy of a later edition of this work Special Colelctions SR 913. Jaques Kainkus unknown
