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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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

1598001041London: Thomas Creede 1598. First English language edition. . Hardcover. See Description. Small folio. Lacking preliminary blank leaf thus pp. 10 310 292 4. Page numbering is erratic. Leaf Ee3 is mis-signed as F3 but all leaves are present and in order. The title page contains a woodcut vignette/device. Each chapter begins with a woodcut decorative head piece and an initial. Bound in full dark brown modern calf with blind tooled borders and stamps after an early period style. The upper part of the title page is age-toned / tanned; a professionally sealed 7 cm. tear runs from the gutter part way across the upper portion of the title and is difficult to detect on first sight; a couple of tiny chips on the top edge are restored. Interior pages are generally attractive but with occasional mild age-toning and periodic faint marginal damp staining. A small repair patch is present on the inner margins of leaves A6 and V6. A tear on leaf V6 also carefully sealed extends vertically about 8.5 cm from the lower gutter and part way into the text but causing almost no obscuration. Printed by Thomas Creede who is best known for issuing dramatic works including some of Shakespeares plays. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a translation of "Recueil des choses mémorables avenues en France sous le règne de Henri II François II Charles IX Henri III et Henri IV." This work is generally attributed to either Simon Goulart or Jean de Serres and was first printed in French no place or publisher in 1595 and again in 1598 expanded to include the reign of Henri IV up to the year 1597. See Brunet IV 1161-1162. The second part with new pagination provides translated selections from Pierre Matthieus 4 part "Histoire des derniers troubles de France" first published in Lyons 1594-95. A section at the end is titled "a brief recitall of the most memorable things which came to passé in Fraunce under the raigne of Henry the fourth until the middle of the Yeare 1598" which if written by Matthieu may possibly represent the first printing of some amendments which Matthieu later added to the second edition of his "Histoire" printed in 1600. This collection provides interesting testaments to the wars of religion in France during the 16th century. A separate 4 page tract at the end is titled: "A true discourse concerning the deliverie of Brittaine in the yeare 1598." ESTC S121331; USTC 513796; Lowndes p. 831; Hazlitt Biblio.

Small stamp on verso of plates. Ohm's paper: pp.79-88. Internally fine and clean. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of a paper of outmost importence in the history of electricity - it is Ohm's first scientific paper and it contains the report on the different original experiments sending a current through a variety of test wires that was the foundation for his famous law Ohm's Law. The paper contains the original research material that was to immortalize his name for the mathematical formulation of the law two years later in the well-known work "Die galvanische Kette mathematisch bearbeitet" 1827. - This paper was at the same time published in Schweiggers Journal."Ohm's first scientific paper was "Vorläufige Anzeige des Gesetzes." the paper offered. In it he sought a functional relationship between the decrease in the electromagnetic force excerted by a current-carrying wire and the lenght of the wire.Fromthe zinc and copper poles of a voltaic pile he ran two wires A and B the free ends of which terminated in small mercury-filled cups M and N; between M and another cup O he ran a third wire C. Together AB and C formed what he called the "invariable conductor" to distinguish it from one of the seven wires of different lenghts that when placed in a circuit between O and N constituted the "variable conductor". Among the latter was one "veru thick" wire four inches long and six thinner ones 0.3 line .025" in diameter ranging in lenght from one foot to seventy-five feet. Finally over wire C hung the magnetic needle of a Coulomb torsion balance which served to measure the electromagnetic force exerted when one of the variable conductors completed the circuit.He then found that the loss in force was equal to the difference between the normal force and the lesser force occasioned by one of the other wires divided by the normal force. Tabulating these value against the lenghts of the wires he found that his data were well represented by the formula v=0.41 log 1x where v is the loss in force and x is the lenght of the wire in feet."DSB X p.187. - This expression is the preliminary formula for his famous relations between voltage amperage and resistance R=V/I.Parkinson "Breakthrough" 1825 P. - Ronald's Library p. 376.The volume contains other importent papers in the history of chemistry and physics Berzelius F.

Bogen er et af 16oo-tallets finest udstyrede danske værker. I et brev dateret 1645 opfordrer Christian IV Collegium Medicum til at forfatte et værk som skulle indeholde allehånde råd mod sygdomme og oplysning om hvor folk kunne finde urterne således at de uden de store omkostninger kunne kurere sig selv når sygdom opstod. Kollegiet overdrog opgaven hermed til Simon Paulli. En af grundene til at bogen kom i et så fint udstyr er at forlæggeren Balthasar Moret fra Plantin-trykkeriet i Antwerpen overlod de af ham ejede botaniske træsnit som tidligere havde været anvendt i Tabermontanus' værker til bogens illustrationsdel. Da teksten i vid udstrækning bygger på Dodonæus' værk er kun 224 af de 380 arter som beskrives danske. - Nissen BBI: 1497. - Birkelund: 50. - Bibl. Danica II:188. </em> unknown
