XXXII 438; XVI 452 pp. ; 55 ll. Very rare account by Peter Simon Pallas 1741-1811 of his second expedition to Russia in 1793-1794. This time he studied the southern provinces of Russia especially the steppes near the Caspian Sea the northern Caucasus the Crimea and the Black Sea. Although Pallas published an extensive account in German of his second expedition in 1799-1801 it never gained as much attention as the first expedition to Russia and Siberia 1768-1774. The present work is the French translation of this German account.In this account of his travel to South Russia the Crimea and the Black Sea Pallas not only describes his route through the Russian Empire he also - as a geologist and naturalist - gives an excellent physical and topographical description of the landscape. He notes the differences in the landscapes he faces along his way not only differences in nature but also how these Crimean landscapes have historically changed over years. He describes their historical geological changes based on fossils and antiquities he finds. He also discusses the flora fauna and climatology of the area. Next to this he gives a more cultural and anthropological description of South Russia and the Crimea. He gives his own remarks on the Crimean peoples economy and trade.With a bookplate on the front paste-downs of all volumes. Annotation on second endpaper of the atlas volume some of the 55 plates with manuscript captions in French in ink.

1827126188Bogota 1827. Rare autograph letter signed by 'El Libertador' Simón Bolívar as President of Gran Colombia. One page script in Spanish. Sent from Bogota the letter is dated December 6 1827 and reads in full "A la Senora Manuela Garaycoa. Umd. siempre se eccele a si misma on bondades para conmigo y me prodiga elofios ques ellos solo bastarian para saviar la codica del mas ambivioiso de gloria. Y que otra cora podria yo esperar de las Garaycoas de esas amigas fieles de esas Colombians constantes de esa Gloriosa sin rival Yo les doy las gracias a todas y seame tambien permitido congratulamme a mi mismo ya que e algun modo be podidos sustitur la paz y la tranquilidad al corazon de los Guayaquilenos un sacrificio me ha cortado - el de mi reposo pero que importa que paderca yo para que umds. gozen Que yo peresac para que viva un Puebla Tenga v Senora la bondad de coreesponder a las espreciones de toda su buena y amable familia. Digale mil cosas a Pepe ese pepe tan bueno tan patrista y de quien esperaba yo nada menof de lo que ha hecho por su pais y creame como he sido diempre. Su mas afectisimo amigo de corazon. Simón Bolívar" which translates into English as "To Senora Manuela Garaycoa. My friend who always shows kindness to me and lavishes praise on me that they alone would suffice to savor the greed of the most ambivalent of glory. And what other heart could I expect from the Garaycoas of those Faithful friends of those constant unrivaled Glorious Colombians I thank you all and let me also congratulate myself since in some way I have been able to substitute the peace and the tranquility to the heart of the Guayaquilenos a sacrifice has made me cut off - that of my rest but what does it matter what I suffer for you to enjoy That I perish for a people to live Have you Senora the kindness to respond to the expectations of all your good and kind family tell a million things to Pepe so good. and from whom I expected nothing less than what he has done for his country and believe me as I have always been. His most affectionate friend at heart. Simón Bolívar. " The recipient Manuela Garaycoa was an Ecuadorian independentista. She participated in the anti-colonial struggle in the second war of independence and despite the death of her son Abdón Calderón at a young age in battle maintained a strong bond with the independence struggle and frequently corresponded with Antonio José de Sucre and Simón Bolívar. In near fine condition. With a portrait of Bolivar. Venezuelan military and political leader Simón Bolívar also known as 'El Libertador' led what are currently the countries of Venezuela Bolivia Colombia Ecuador Peru and Panama to independence from the Spanish Empire in the campaign for the independence of New Granada which began in 1808 and was consolidated with the victory at the Battle of Boyacá on 7 August 1819. Despite a number of hindrances including the arrival of an unprecedentedly large Spanish expeditionary force the revolutionaries eventually prevailed culminating in the victory at the Battle of Carabobo in 1821 which effectively made Venezuela an independent country. Following this triumph over the Spanish monarchy Bolívar participated in the foundation of the first union of independent nations in Latin America Gran Colombia of which he was president from 1819 to 1830. Through further military campaigns he ousted Spanish rulers from Ecuador Peru and Bolivia the last of which was named after him. He was simultaneously president of Gran Colombia present-day Venezuela Colombia Panama and Ecuador Peru and Bolivia but soon after his second-in-command Antonio José de Sucre was appointed president of Bolivia. Bolívar aimed at a strong and united Spanish America able to cope not only with the threats emanating from Spain and the European Holy Alliance but also with the emerging power of the United States. At the peak of his power Bolívar ruled over a vast territory from the Argentine border to the Caribbean Sea. unknown

1994140620Burbank CA: Fox Broadcasting Company / Warner Brothers Television / Sweet Freedom Productions / Main Sequence Productions 1994. Archive of original scripts for all 27 episodes of "The George Carlin Show" which ran on Fox for two seasons in 1994 and 1995 with multiple drafts of each episode totaling 196 scripts. Also included are several key pieces of ephemera relating to the development and writing of the show. Altogether a thoroughly comprehensive and researchable archive detailing a writing process that attempted to digest and reconstruct the persona of one of the most iconoclastic and influential not to mention foul mouthed standup comics for mainstream viewing. From the estate of series co-creator Sam Simon. <br/><br/>One of the most important and influential television producers and directors of the last 30 years Sam Simon is best known along with Matt Groening and James L. Brooks as the co-creators of "The Simpsons." Simon won a remarkable nine Emmy Awards seven for "The Simpsons" and two for "The Tracy Ullman Show" and was nominated another ten times for his work on both those shows as well as his contributions to "Cheers" "Taxi" and "The Gary Shandling Show." <br/><br/>Created by Simon and George Carlin "The George Carlin Show" ran for two seasons on Fox from 1994 to 1995. Carlin played New York cabbie George O'Grady who when not haranguing fares spent most of his time at a bar modeled on Carlin's real life Morningside Heights haunt haranguing his fellow patrons which characteristically of the post-"Seinfeld" boom in sitcoms created around standup comics allowed the writers to incorporate elements of Carlin's stage routines into the show. In his posthumously published autobiography "Last Words" Carlin said of the show "I had a great time. I never laughed so much so often so hard as I did with the cast members" but did not get along with co-creator Simon a view Simon attributed in an interview to the show's "cancellation affecting George's attitude towards the work in retrospect" and he considered the show "a very special period of my life."<br/><br/>The majority of scripts are housed in 27 generic black ring binders with one binder per episode each containing between three and nine scripts. Binders for each episode may contain First or Writer's Drafts Table Read scripts Blue Pink Yellow Green and Goldenrod revised scripts Final Collated scripts compiled from the various revisions and As Broadcast scripts reflecting the script as it aired. <br/><br/>Also included are 18 scripts for various episodes many of which are working copies with holograph annotations edits and corrections throughout including a script for an unproduced episode co-written by cast member Anthony Starke and most importantly six drafts of the pilot episode dating from 1993 with holograph annotations and changes in several hands throughout including Carlin's giving a detailed look at the development of the pilot. <br/><br/>Several pieces of ephemera also related to the writing of the show are also part of the archive including five pages of typed and holograph notes dated 3/16/93 a Treatment script for Season One Episode Eight "George Destroys a Way of Life" dated 9/17/93 with substantial holograph annotations a treatment dated 9/17/93 for an unproduced episode titled "George Proves Something" with holograph annotations and three pages of ideas for episodes none of which were produced from staff writers Darrell Vickers and Andrew Nicholls dated 7/5/94. <br/><br/>Also included are a fax from fellow comedian Richard Lewis to Carlin dated 4/14/92 recommending two writers for the show a faxed noted signed from Carlin to Sam Simon followed by faxed two typed pages of thoughts on "creeping niceness" which Carlin has circled the "most useful" portions two packets of photocopied press clippings about the show assembled by Warner Brothers Television dated 2/1/94 and 6/6/94 respectively several holograph marker draft sketches of the show's logo and a one page faxed memo from Standards and Practices at Fox to Simon regarding the Season One episode "George Speaks His Mind" here and elsewhere in the archive referred to by the working title "George Says Fuck" an episode built around Carlin's famous "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" routine. <br/><br/>Finally the archive contains several pieces of physical media including five U-matic and one D2 video cassettes for various aspects of post-production on five episodes including a "Fuck Beep Test" reel from the "George Speaks His Mind" episode a one inch reel-to-reel video tape labeled "George Carlin Buttefly Logo" a 1/2 inch reel-to-reel audio tape DAT transfer of music and audio cues and a laser disc of Season One Episode Two "George Sees an Airplane" produced by Main Sequence Productions likely made to promote the show to affiliates or advertisers. <br/><br/>For further details please inquire. Provenance available on request. <br/><br/>Scripts and other paper material generally Near Fine or better. Scripts are first generation photocopies with no copied holes.

H1057Wellington John Mackey 1908 Vol. II 1914 S. 33-35. Es liegen beide Bände vor. Gesamtkollation: XV 779; XXII 650 S. Original-Leinenbände mit goldgeprägtem Rückentitel gr. 8°. Nur gering berieben leicht stockfleckig. Ein gut erhaltenes Set! Von größter Bedeutung! Neben dem Brief in dem Pallas dem Zoologen Thomas Pennant zeitgleich mit Büsching und Banks!! über Cooks Tod berichtete enthält das Werk eine große Anzahl von umfangreich kommentierten Briefen von und an James Cook was einen phantastischen Einblick in die Hintergründe der Ereignisse gibt! Die Briefe finden sich in Band 1 S. 1 ff. und eine immense Anzahl in Band 2 S. 47 ff. Darunter von größter Bedeutung der Brief von Cook an den Sekretär der Royal Society Stephens in dem Cook den bisherigen Verlauf der Reise zusammenfasst und den Harris in St. Petersburg Pallas zeigte – also zusammen mit dem Brief von Clerke die Originalquelle für Büschings Bericht über Cooks dritte Reise!! Ebenso enthalten sind Briefe von Fourneaux u. a. in Bd. 1 auf S. 18 sein Bericht an Stephens über die 2. Reise eine ganze Reihe weiterer in Bd. 2 S. 88 ff. zahlreiche Schreiben von und an Cooks Astronomen Bayly Vol. 2 S. 200 ff. Burney Bd. 2 S. 135 197 ff. Pickersgill Bd. 2 S-. 75 ff. eine enorme Quelle über Cook in den zahlreichen Briefen von und an Stephens Sekretär der Royal Society Bd. 2 S. 48 ff. Zu Pallas' Brief an Pennant – Hauptstück der beiden Bände: Bisher herrschte weitgehend die Meinung dass Pallas' Brief an Büsching die einzige Nachricht gewesen sei die zu einem so frühen Zeitpunkt aus St. Petersburg nach Europa ging. Pallas schrieb jedoch zeitgleich an Banks und an Büsching – beides Briefe die in der Cook-Forschung bisher kaum Beachtung fanden was wohl auf ihr sehr spätes Veröffentlichungsdatum zurückzuführen ist der Brief an Banks erschien 1843 jener an Pennant erst 1908. Pallas' Brief an Pennant ist die erste englische Variante der zweiten also der etwas umfangreicheren Nachricht die Pallas auch an Büsching versandte zweiter Pallas-Brief um die Umstände um Cooks Tod bekannt zu geben. Bereits am 10. Januar 1780 hatte Pallas sowohl an Büsching als auch an Banks geschrieben um ihnen die Neuigkeiten so schnell wie möglich mitzuteilen. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt lagen ihm jedoch nur Auszüge aus den Briefen Cooks und Clerkes vor. Kurz darauf erhielt er jedoch von Harris dem englischen Gesandten in St. Petersburg Einblick in die ungekürzten Originalbriefe und schrieb erneut an Büsching und auch an Pennant wodurch beiden die wie Büsching es nennt "richtigere und umständlichere Nachricht" vorlag. Bei dem Brief an Pennant handelt es sich um eine wörtliche Übersetzung des Schreibens das Büsching erhielt. unknown
1789168579Paris: Maradan 1789-93. The celebrated French translation in the original boards First edition in French. First published in German this is the account of Pallas's expedition across the central Russian provinces from 1768 to 1774. He reported on the passage of Venus brought back numerous animal and plant specimens and made anthropological observations of local peoples. Simon Peter Pallas 1741-1811 was a German zoologist and botanist and a leading figure in the Russian scientific enlightenment. He was educated at Halle Göttingen and at Leiden where he submitted his doctorate in 1760. After a trip to England to study natural history and geology Pallas settled at The Hague where he published the acclaimed Elenchus zoophytorum and Miscellanea zoologica. He soon attracted the attention of Catherine the Great who invited him to St Petersburg where he became a professor of natural history at the Imperial Academy of Sciences. In 1768 at the specific request of the tsarina he was placed in charge of an expedition of five naturalists and seven astronomers into Russia and Siberia. Over the next six years the party traversed the empire from the plains of European Russia to the borders of Mongolia. "Pallas arrived back in St Petersburg in July 1774 with a vast amount of data and many fossil specimens but broken in health. His hair was whitened with fatigue and nearly all of his companions had died. His journals had been regularly despatched back to St Petersburg and were awaiting him on his arrival" Howgego. His chief geological contribution was the recognition of the temporal sequence of rocks from the centre to the flanks of a range. He also found a wide distribution of mammoth and rhinoceros fossils in the Siberian ice. This work was originally published in German in the period 1771-76. This French edition includes additional material covering the findings of the natural historians Samuel Gottlieb Gmelin Ivan Ivanovich Lepekhin and Johann Gottlieb Georgi.

The present work deals with the medicinal properties of various substances and is considered one of Paulli's most important contributions to the field of medicine. In the preface to Flora Danica Simon Paulli writes that the plant descriptions are drawn from Dodoens but organized into four groups based on the flowering time. One might think that this was meant as a simple and understandable system for laypeople but the system was not specifically created for this work. In Flora Danica Paulli employed a classification that he had already developed and presented in the present work the same year he arrived in Copenhagen. Since Simon Paulli originally wrote Flora Danica in Latin and had it translated with the help of a Danish student it is reasonable to assume that he drew much of the material directly from this book. See Bjerke “De Lærdeste Lægers Urtegaardeâ€. Simon Paulli 1603–1680 was a Danish physician and naturalist and made significant contributions to the fields of medicine and botany during the 17th century. Paulli was born in Rostock Germany and later moved to Denmark. He served as a professor of medicine at the University of Copenhagen and became the personal physician to King Christian IV of Denmark. In the botanical realm Paulli is particularly known for his work "Flora Danica". Published in the mid-17th century "Flora Danica" was one of the earliest works of its kind and contributed to the scientific understanding of plant life in Denmark. Apart from his botanical contributions Simon Paulli made important strides in the field of medicine and he is recognized for his studies on human anatomy. Simon Paulli's impact on botany and medicine particularly in Scandinavia has left a lasting legacy in the history of science. </em> hardcover

Preserved in a custom cloth clamshell box with printed paper title label. $7500. First edition. Theloall's Digest was the accepted register of correctly drafted writs. It owes its origin to the suggestion of Staunford that it would be a good idea if lawyers would write treatises on the other titles of the abridgments similar to his study of the Title "Prerogative." Staunford illustrated his meaning by showing how the Title "Brief" might be treated. Theloall chose this title and wrote a treatise on it for his own use. The manuscript having been lent eventually found its way to a printer. "It deserved to be printed as it is the most orderly treatise on procedure founded on the Year Books that had yet appeared. Historically it comes between the older commentaries upon writs and the modern books on procedure" Holdsworth. A second edition was published in 1678.
