Referring to the allemande ìWhen the dance was introduced in Paris where it became popular in the 1760s and 1770s it was done quite differently from the German way at least according to the French dancing master Simon Guillaume. The main interest of the French version lay in a series of joined hand positions through which the partners moved by passing under each other's arms turning each other around and passing behind each other's back. The steps to the dance were of secondary importance judging from the perfunctory manner in which they are treated in French books describing the allemande and seem to have been subject to some variation.In his Almanach Dansant 1770 Guillaume described two allemande steps out of the several he said existed the main one in 2/4 time and another in 3/8.î The International Encyclopedia of Dance.

1733WRCLIT56765London: Printed for John Watts 1733. 123186pp. 12mo. Contemporary calf sympathetically rebacked in matching calf with raised bands and gilt labels. Engraved frontis signed "G. Van der Guchte". Early stamped insignia on front pastedown modest tanning but a very good copy. First edition in English of a significant imaginary voyage of particular import for its relation to early conceptions of Australia. The first edition was published under a false Bordeaux 1710 imprint and three other editions appeared similarly dated. Recent authorities have sorted out the precedence with the first edition being identified with some confidence as actually Rouen 1714. The translator's dedication is signed Stephen Whatley. Tyssot de Patot's novel "is a carefully written well authenticated story of travel and adventure in Europe in Africa in Asia and in an unknown land far beyond the Cape of Good Hope. The realism of the setting is based upon a close following of accounts of real travelers such as Dellon Tavernier Mocquet and Lahontan. There is nothing fantastic unbelievable or overdrawn in the descriptions of the Austral continent. Tyssot seems to restrain himself consciously in order to write an apparently true story. Indirect criticism by the example of an imaginary and virtuous community is used here as in all the previous novels of the type. The journey to the unknown land is very carefully authenticated as is the return journey. Discussions of science and religion are fitted into the adventures much more artistically than in the case of the novels of Foigny and Vairasse.From the point of the history of ideas.it is a very interesting document."- Atkinson. It is also notable for a reference to the Wandering Jew as well as for a well-constructed bee fable. Howgego . INVENTED AND APOCRYPHAL NARRATIVES OF TRAVEL T25.

Set in textura types with incidental roman. Shortly abbreviated edition of an important and renowned pamphlet in the history in the VOC written by the lawyer Simon van Middelgeest about whom less is known. It is a complaint against the management the so-called "Heren XVII" of the Dutch East India Company VOC by the sharesholders who felt their concerns were being ignored. It is one of the many anonymous polemic pamphlets published by the so-called "doleanten" participants shareholders in which they express their grievances on the self-enrichment and abuses of the "Heren XVII" of the VOC. It is a shortened edition of a 1622 pamphlet titled Nootwendich discours oft vertooch aan de hooch-mogende heeren Staten Generaal van de participanten der Oost-Indische Compagnie tegens bewintshebbers Knuttel 3348; Landwehr VOC 884 which was reprinted several times under different titles including the present. The publishers frequently changed the title because the States of Holland published a proclaimation prohibited Van Middelgeest's Nootwendich discours in 1622 Knuttel 3349.

175019580Amsterdam 1750. Twelve pen and ink wash drawings each ca. 8 x 6.5 cm in subtle shades of grey and sepia. All 12 drawings mounted on a single contemporary stiff paper support 44 x 61 cm neatly arranged in three rows of four each with a border of lines drawn around it in ink. A contemporary pencil inscription below the lower right drawing reads "S. Fokke Amsterdam 1712-1784". Another in a later hand in the lower right corner of the support reads "S. Fokke". A set of drawings by Simon Fokke 1712-1784 made as models for the illustrations in J.F. Martinet's Alle de werken van Flavius Josephus Amsterdam 1783-1787. The 12 pen and ink wash drawings vividly depict Old Testament scenes very beautifully drawn and so subtly washed in a rich pattern of greys and sepia that the spaces left blank seem to radiate fire and sunlight. The engravings made from these drawings are in reverse and have 2 scenes on each plate.Simon Fokke was one of the most important artists of the second generation of 18th century book illustrators. According to E. de La Fontaine Verwey he was a spontaneous and very gifted draughtsman and an expressive designer who sometimes even engraved a plate without first drawing a model.A fine set.l Poortman 54; cf.

1664ABC_49305Amsterdam: Jacobus van der Fuyck 1664. Disbound loosely inserted in 20th-century plain brown paper wrappers. 4to. With a woodcut vignette on the title page and 2 decorated woodcut initials. Rare second edition under a different title of an eyewitness report of the dramatic shipwreck of the Arnhem a Dutch East Indiaman built in 1654 for the VOC. The report was written by Simon van den Kerkhoven a religious comforter to the sick Siecken-trooster on board and one of the shipwreck's survivors. The "ziekentrooster" was a religious office within the Dutch Protestant church in the 16th- to 20th centuries. Generally the person fulfilling its duty was not an official member of the clergy but when in service of the major trading companies VOC and WIC they received a special status which permitted them to perform clerical duties like administering the sacraments.The account of the shipwreck of the Arnhem was first published in Middelburg by Jacques Fierens in 1663 under the title: Historisch verhael der wonderlike ende seer zeldsame voor-vallen den gene bejegent die met het retour-schip Aernhem van Batavia na het vaderland verreist zyn den 23 decem. 1661. The present second edition claims on the title page that the name of the author is Johannes van Kerckhoven this appears to be a mistake as both the first edition the present preface and the signature at the end of the account in the present pamphlet mention Simon van den Kerkhoven. Another difference between the two editions can be found in the preliminaries: the dedication to the directors of the Zeeland chamber of the VOC is replaced by a rhymed preface in Dutch titled and signed Aen den leser door Simon van den Kerckhoven van Middelburgh; secken-trooster.On 23 December 1661 the Dutch East Indiaman Arnhem left Batavia in the Dutch East Indies now Jakarta Indonesia and set sail for the Low Countries together with 6 other ships under the command of the Dutch Admiral Arnold de Vlamingh van Oudtshoorn 1618-1662. In February 1662 on their way to Cape of Good Hope the fleet was caught in a storm and was scattered. Three ships disappeared without a trace while the Arnhem ran aground on the Cargados Carajos shoals in the Indian Ocean. Most of the crew managed to leave the ship in a small boat carrying 12 and a larger vessel carrying about 100 both headed for Mauritius many died on that journey and once back ashore the group further diminished and scattered in their attempt to survive. The surviving crew were able to leave Mauritius in small groups by boarding ships calling at the victualing station on the island. Curiously the surviving crew members of the Arnhem are now presumed to have been the last people to have seen live dodos.One of the survivors Dutch sailor Andries Stokram published the first report of this shipwreck in May 1663 in which the officers were blamed for the ship's sinking. They were also held responsible for putting men overboard from the lifeboat. Another survivor the Dutch bookkeeper Johan van Hal refuted these accusations in his report which was also published in 1663. In this same year Van den Kerkhovens report appeared in which he supported the charges of Stokram and held the officers responsible.The paper wrapper is damaged along the fold of the spine internally occasionally slightly browned.

1618L4OBDGT3RAY7Amsterdam: Claes Jansz. Visscher 1618. Large 1mo broadsheet 66.5 x 46.5 cm with engraved illustration 53 x 45.5 cm at the head with Visscher's name in the plate at lower right and a letterpress verse text below. Impressive large allegorical print of the defeat of the Arminians at the Synod of Dort in 1618 here in the rare first Visscher state. The publisher and engraver Claes Jansz. Visscher heavily reworked the plate of an earlier print by Simon Frisius commemorating the Dutch-Spanish truce of 1609 entitled: Pyramis pacifica. He revised the image so extensively that his revision is often treated as a separate work making the present version its first state. It is the most spectacular print to come out of the Arminian controversy. A more common much smaller and less impressive engraving was also published.A heated theological and political conflict had raged in the Low Countries between the Arminians from 1610 also called Remonstrants and Gomarists for more than a decade when it came to a head with the Synod of Dort 1618/19 which decided in favour of the Gomarists. The Synod led to the 1619 execution of the Republics greatest statesman Johan van Oldenbarnevelt who had supported the Arminian cause. In revenge his sons Reinier and Willem conspired to assassinate the Gomarist Dutch stadholder Maurits of Nassau Prince of Orange. Other prominent members of Dutch society who had political religious or personal grudges against the Prince lent their support. The plot was betrayed in February 1623 and the conspirators arrested and executed from March to May.A corner at the foot torn off and replaced with blank paper with the loss of most of the imprint and the ends of the last 8 lines of verse. Further with a few spots and tiny holes and small restored tears but generally in good condition and still attractive.l Atlas van Stolk 1347; Hollstein XXXVIII p. 21 no. 29 state III 4 copies; Muller Historieplaten 1329a zeldzaam.

Mueller on first leaf dated April 24 1937 from the library of David G. Kohl 1946-2025 former art teacher at the Hong Kong International School musician artist and historian. A remarkable photo album with images shot by three different Lutheran Church Missouri Synod LCMS missionaries in China along with the descriptive contents list compiled by Rev. R.J. Mueller detailing the purpose and composition. He writes that the Enshih Shihnan Mission had prepared three albums “one for the Mission Board one for the Building Committee of General Conference and one at the Enshih Station. The numbers all agree. However not all pictures listed appear in all books.†This “Building Committee†album was intended to focus primary on the structures homes chapels of the mission as well as surrounding areas and was intended to aid in speeding up communications for fundraising and building affairs issues as correspondents could then merely refer to the master list of numbers held by all three parties. Enshih China was one of the final mission stations established by the LCMS far from their other missions and when Gebhardt returned to Enshih following the Civil War in 1928 there was significant damage to the mission structures to be repaired. Looting by bandits and marauding soldiers had caused over $ 2000 in damage but was encouraged to find that the Lutheran evangelist Shen had continued the mission chapel school orphanage. He would later be joined by Mueller and others although primarily composed of Chinese Staff. These photos in the album includes views of Mueller’s residence windows frames and gutters looted; screens torn doors boarded up as well as views of the native house and threshing floor adapted into an orphanage at Yao Wan after 1930. Several others show the extent of the protective walls built around the properties farm houses the gates as well as farms bridges and nearby fields at Enshih. Landmarks such as rocks shaped like Elephants in the river and Big and Little Hog creek below farmland. A very nice series of photos depict the Ts’i Ts-ung-fu funeral the blind deaf and other orphans about 1931 as well as textiles drying in the sun. Other photos capture the Ch’i-li-ping market fortune teller temple noodle stand and the T’ai shan shrine at Ch’i-li-p’ing. More photos depict Hu Ping-chih the orphanage secretary Yuen Ye-chih cashier in 1934 Hsieh T’i-ya seminary student who died later in 1937; along with the mission pulpit nearby streets and the rear view of the Yao Wan houses.Of additional interest are the images of the rugged roads to Liang Shui-chin the temple and steep steps drying opium in Kuan-p’e which was a small town between the East Gate and Yao Wan before opium raising was banned in 1934; along with the nearby Ch’ing-Ching Clear River at the high water stage the front of the True Light Chapel in 1934 as well as the gravestone of Mr. & Mrs. Wang Japanese-Lutherans who had died in 1930. The final photo No. 169 again shows the Clear River below the city. Mueller 1905-1998 graduated from seminary in 1929 and left for China with his wife Dorothy for the Evangelical Lutheran Foreign Mission Board returned briefly to the U.S. from 1937-1940 spent 1939-1942 teaching at a Lutheran seminary in China while being bombed by the Japanese and also served in Shanghai where he would supervise the Lutheran Hour and Lutheran Hour offices. Although he and his wife briefly returned to the United States in 1946 following World War II they subsequently served again in Shanghai China into the early years of Communist rule by Mao tse-tung before returning again to the U.S. See: David Kohl Lutherans on the Yangtze: A Hundred Year History of the Missouri Synod in China 2014 pp. 103 124 131 132 166 174 99-131.
