Very good condition apart from some overall light soiling minor foxing and a tiny nick at the edge of the right margin. A beautiful plate with stunning early colour from Lacépède's "La Menagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle" an important scholarly work and one of the finest examples of eighteenth-century French natural history illustration.<br/> <br/>A professor of zoology at the Museum of Natural History the French naturalist Bernard-Germain-Étienne Delaville Comte de Lacépède 1756-1825 was a versatile and precocious scholar who published a number of books on zoology physics and music. He was greatly influenced by the pioneering naturalist Georges Louis Marie Leclerc comte de Buffon whom he succeeded as Intendant at the Jardin du Roi which later became the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle in 1793. During his tenure Lacépède completed a comprehensive study of amphibians and reptiles Historie Naturelle des Quadrupèdes Ovipares et des Serpens which was published as a supplement to Buffon's magnum opus on animal classification Histoire Naturelle Générale et Particulière. In 1800-1 he published the first edition of La Menagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle a thorough survey of the various species of quadrupeds reptiles and amphibians in the impressive collection of the Museum of Natural History. This magnificent work was comprised of descriptive text written by Lacépède and his colleague Georges L. C. Baron Cuvier 1769-1832 as well as a number of finely rendered plates after the most eminent natural history artists of the period Nicolas Maréchal 1753-1803 Nicolas Huet 1770-1830 and Léon de Wailly 1801-1824. Painted from life on vellum these beautifully detailed illustrations faithfully captured the appearance of the wondrous animals in the Paris menagerie. A pupil of J. G. Wille and C. N.

The author defends Simón BolÃÂvar's character and seems to be very conscious of the Liberator's place in history asserting that comparing him to such figures as Washington and Napoleon is impertinent: "In the future the prophets will dominate either inspirers or politicians.in such an order Bolivar cannot think of becoming King." Apparently this work was originally circulated in manuscript form at Chuquisaca 1828 before the present printed version appeared at Arequipa in 1830.

Girard was trained at the École des Ponts et Chaussées and was one of the few engineers of his time with sufficient mathematical knowledge to read the works of Euler. In 1787 Girard began investigating the strength of wood as a structural material and was able to apply his first results in this field in 1790 when he won the Académie des Science's competition on the theory and practice of canal and harbor lock construction. In 1798 he published his Traité analytique de la résistance des solides containing the results of his researches on the strength and resistance of building stone timber and wrought iron; it was the first book published in France to deal with the theory of beams in all its aspects strength flexural strength elastic stability yield strength. In the same year Girard traveled with Napoleon's army to Egypt where he studied the surface elevation and bed characteristics of the Nile; on his return to France Napoleon appointed him director of the Paris water supply.

Some light spotting and discoloration small light dampstain to some upper blank corners but a very good copy. Old signature on title. Contemporary half parchment sides with speckled paper red edges.Only Edition. Winter's stark beauties are precisely described by a writer of deep learning and broad interests. Citing literature and the classics including Pindar Hesiod Aristophanes and Homer in Greek as well as contemporary sources from scientific journals to travel accounts the author examines the seasons the meteorological manifestations of winter its effect on humans and its aesthetic and bodily pleasures. He discusses "absolute cold" the causes of wind snow's qualities and colors superstitious beliefs in its healing powers frost and hoarfrost avalanches glaciers ice and its different qualities chemical experiments for manufacturing artificial ice and physiological and physical effects of winter and cold on animals for example whose fur changes color; on humans when they freeze to death or nearly so; or on windowpanes which "sweat" with condensed moisture. The seventh and final chapter on the "various pleasures of winter" contains a well-informed digression into music and opera with an appraisal of celebrated contemporary composers instrumentalists and singers including Händel Porpora G. Giacomelli Predieri Farinelli Caffarelli Francesca Cuzzoni the violinist Guignon the viola da gambist Desmarets and the flutist Blavet. While he praises the opera Härter quotes from some of the many contemporary diatribes against the genre by Gottsched Pluche and others who deplored its irrational and amoral pleasures. He concludes that neither adoration nor scorn of the opera are reasonable but that it can be a legitimate wintry pleasure. In the final pages he considers the spiritual benefits of winter so conducive to introspection and in his concluding remarks recommends it as the best season for experiments in electricity.The work is dedicated to Otto Christian von Lohenschiold 1720-1761 Rector of the Academy University of Tübingen. In a humorous preface the author's friend Johann Kies Professor of physics and mathematics at Tübingen and author of several physics treatises including a dissertation on the rainbow concedes that unwilling to be reminded of a season that he loathes he could not bring himself to read the book but should his friend write a treatise on one of the other seasons he promises to read it!

196015053Englewood Cliffs NJ: Prentice-Hall 1960. First edition. Octavo original cloth. From the library of Nobel Prize-winning economist Kenneth Arrow with his signature to the front free endpaper. Additionally signed by another Nobel Prize-winning economist Franco Modigliani. Fine in a very good dust jacket. Along with Merton Miller Franco Modigliani formulated the important Modigliani-Miller theorem in corporate finance 1958. This theorem demonstrated that under certain assumptions the value of a firm is not affected by whether it is financed by equity selling shares or debt borrowing money. He was also the originator of the life-cycle hypothesis which attempts to explain the level of saving in the economy. Modigliani proposed that consumers would aim for a stable level of consumption throughout their lifetime for example by saving during their working years and spending during their retirement.
