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!

Second Greatly Enlarged Edition marking the first appearance of Volume II. The first volume was originally published as The Conquest of Syria Persia and Egypt by the Saracens in 1708. The work was based upon a manuscript in the Bodleian Library which was initially ascribed to the Arabic historian El-Wákidi with additions from other sources. However the manuscript was later proved to be a work of dubious historical accuracy. "But although many of its details require correction the importance of Ockleys work in relation to the progress of oriental studies cannot be overestimated. Following in the steps of Pococks famous Specimen Historiae Arabum but adopting a popular method and recommending it by an admirable English style Ockley for the first time made the history of the early Saracen conquests attractive to the general reader and stimulated the student to further research. With all its inaccuracies Ockleys History of the Saracens became a secondary classic and formed for generations the main source of the average notions of early Mohammedan history. Gibbon did not disdain to use it freely." DNB The work earned for Ockley the chair of Arabic at Cambridge in 1711. Graesse V 7-8. London: Printed for R.Knaplock, J.Sprint, R.Smith , 1718. unknown

Overall in excellent condition with some minor signs of wear only. Rare set ! Thomas Mann född 6 juni 1875 i Lübeck i nuvarande Schleswig-Holstein i Tyskland död 12 augusti 1955 i Zürich i Schweiz var en tysk författare och Nobelpristagare. I sitt författarskap knyter Thomas Mann an till 1800-talets berättarteknik hos bland andra Lev Tolstoj och hans symbolik och episka teman påminner om verk av Theodor Fontane och Richard Wagner. Kännetecknande för Manns prosa är det ironiska förhållningssättet och den dubbelbottnade humorn. Med tilltagande konstnärlig mognad använde sig Mann av allegorier och mytologiska motiv. Författarens språk präglas av detaljrikedom utförlighet rytm och balans. De teman Mann valde att behandla anknöt till hans samtids världspolitiska händelser samtidigt som de är av allmänmänsklig relevans. Han var yngre bror till den mer vänsterorienterade författaren Heinrich Mann samt far till Erika Mann Klaus Mann och Golo Mann även de framstående författare. Han omnämns ofta som 1900-talets mest betydelsefulla tyskspråkiga författare. Till Manns mest framstående litterära verk brukar räknas Huset Buddenbrook Döden i Venedig Bergtagen och Doktor Faustus. Verk av honom brändes under bokbålen runt om i Nazityskland 1933. Wikipedia hardcover

Acquaforte misure: mm 291 x 212 Teologo, umanista e poeta francese. Studiò inizialmente legge e poi divenne pastore a Ginevra. Scrisse numerosi libri di storie e teologia alcuni di questi accompagnati da incisioni. In questa stampa viene raffigurato, in maniera satirica, il sinodo svoltosi nella città di Dordrecht in Olanda per risolvere le questioni sorte tra calvinisti e arminiani. All'interno di una grande ed ampia sala, troviamo disposti, seduti su file di bachi a più livelli, personaggi con in capo delle corna di diavolo o di toro simbolo di superbia. Alle loro spalle sul muro la scritta Congregatio Taurorum in vaccis populorum (Salmo 68:31) cioè congresso di tori feroci e vitelli del popolo. Solo il gruppo in fondo sulla sinistra non ha corna, sono i rappresentanti degli Stati Generali. Al centro seduti intono ad un tavolo su cui si vedono fogli e libri i coordinatori del Sinodo, a capo tavola il loro presidente Bogerman. Sulla parete di fondo della sala un grande camino al cui interno due diavoletti agitano i soffietti come per alimentare la discordia. Sopra il camino un'enorme civetta simbolo di ignoranza e due scimmie simbolo di impudenza dominano la scena. Sul pavimento è incisa una lunga scritta, si tratta di un attacco feroce alle vicende avvenute durante il sinodo tra i rappresentanti della chiesa. Visti di spalle due uomini stanno entrando nella sala, al loro fianco sono incisi i loro nomi e la carica di legati: Mr Brunier e Mr Dumolin. Oltre l'immagine inciso "Simon Goulartius Invent. et. Excud". Un esemplare di questo foglio è conservato al Rijksmuseum. (FMH 1345) Bella impressione. Ottimo stato di conservazione, eccetto una doppia piega nella carta al centro che non compromette la lettura del foglio. Esemplare rifiato alla battuta del rame.

1820140851London: no publisher 1820. First edition extracted from The Pamphleteer volume XVII no XXXIV. In 1815 Simon Gray had published his treatise on population The Happiness of States as an open rejection of many of Malthus's principles. Previously Malthus's theories has been broadly accepted without major opposition but Gray's attack was rapidly followed by other critiques most notably John Weyland and Kenneth Grahame's. The present essay was a lengthy refutation of the principles Malthus had outlined in his chapter "Observations on Productive and Unproductive Labor" in The Principles of Political Economy; Gray countered that all classes of society were economically productive. Uncommon with LibraryHub listing only six copies in British institutions. Octavo 212 x 134 mm. Recent marbled boards paper spine label.
