Set in roman types with incidental italic. The Castrametation lacks 2 preliminary leaves with the portrait and coat-of-arms of Maurits of Nassau Prince of Orange. First French editions of two complementary works in matching format and layout by Simon Stevin on the layout of army camps and on hydraulic engineering for fortifications in particular the use of pivoted sluices for deepening waterways draining land and operating locks. The Castrametation provides a window into daily life in the Dutch army during the Eighty Years' War of independence from Spain shedding light on both the physical arrangement of troops supplies armaments etc. and the rules that soldiers were expected to follow. The Fortification par escluses both reflects and helped to establish the Dutch mastery of the seas and waterways which was unique among nations at this date. While the numerous fortification plans are presented as general types to illustrate principles many are based on actual Dutch cities. The book therefore provides Stevin's analysis of the strtegic situation of many Dutch cities and the ways their security could be improved by hydraulic engineering. Both works were published during the Twelve Years' Truce 1609-1621 partly in anticipation of the renewal of hostilities in 1621 and therefore the need to improve the Dutch defences.With ink owner's additions to the fortification plan on F3 of the second work. Four of the fortification plans also have some additions drawn over them perhaps somewhat later in pencil. With bookplate. The Castrametation lacks 2 preliminary leaves with the portrait and coat-of-arms of Maurits of Nassau Prince of Orange.

Doubling the North American Isle by William Simon Long is a travel narrative that explores diverse regions of North America through a lens of cultural observation historical reflection and geographic curiosity. Published in the early 20th century the book reflects Long’s continued interest in promoting continental unity and appreciation for the varied landscapes and peoples of North America. He combines first-hand impressions of places such as Nova Scotia British Columbia and the American Southwest with speculative commentary on ancient civilizations like Quibera blending romanticized history with contemporary travel writing. Particularly notable is his descriptive account of the Grand Canyon which exemplifies the book’s focus on natural grandeur and national identity. The Long Art Studios hardcover

1774189500London: 1774. Exposing the bread conspiracy First edition of this incisive attack on physiocracy by the habitual contrarian and one-time physiocrat published as the first two parts of this six-part collected edition of his works. This set also includes the first edition of Linguet's Du Pain et du Bled and a revised edition of the Théorie des loix civiles first published in 1767 his critique of Enlightenment liberalism. Simon Nicolas Henri Linguet 1736-1794 was among the most renowned lawyers in France during the 1760s and 1770s until his attacks on colleagues led to his expulsion from the bar in 1775. Voltaire observed of his streak of nonconformity that "Paris too has its Jean-Jacques Rousseau" quoted in Vyverberg p. 476. The works published here inveigh against multiple aspects of the pre-revolutionary status quo including physiocratic notions of liberty and the dependence of the French upon bread. The Théorie des loix civiles opened Linguet's campaign again the physiocrats but did not target them by name: the Plus Heureux Gouvernement by contrast directly charged that physiocratic concepts of liberty were opportunistic shams designed to enrich the elite. Linguet's Du Pain et du Bled On Wheat and Bread tackles the systemic dependence of the French peasantry on bread contending - perhaps hyperbolically - that it was a fundamentally harmful food responsible in large part for the grim health of the poor. A response by Tissot 1728-1797 published at Neufchatel in 1779 is bound in this volume. 2 works in 5 vols octavo 163 x 91 mm. With 2 folding letterpress tables. Contemporary tree sheep spines decorated in gilt and with twin red and black morocco labels edges sprinkled grey.
