Quarter navy morocco morocco corners marbled boards raised bands gilt spine. Blind-stamp of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory. Fine. FIRST EDITIONS. "Dirac's occupation with the problems of quantum electrodynamics may be further illustrated by two papers of a mainly mathematical character written in the spring of 1933. Both were concerned with the possibility of generalizing the mathematical basis of quantum mechanics in order to overcome the difficulties of the existing quantum electrodynamics and secure its connection with classical dynamics. Dirac pointed out that in exceptional cases which turned up in the theory of Heisenberg and Pauli ordinary Hamiltonian methods were not applicable. In order to remove such 'irregularities' and obtain 'greater elegance' he proposed a reformulation of classical Hamiltonian dynamics by introducing homogeneous variables." Kragh Dirac pp. 138-139.

Chinard's own copy with two original letters addressed to him and pertaining to the book laid in.<br/><br/> Maurice de Guerin 1810-1839 "was essentially a poet but his prose is more striking and original than his poetry. Its peculiar and unique charm arises from his strong and absorbing passion for nature a passion whose intensity reached almost to adoration and worship but in which the pagan was more prominent than the moral element. According to Sainte-Beuve 'no French poet or painter has rendered so well the feeling for nature--the feeling not so much for details as for the ensemble and the divine universality the feeling for the origin of things and the sovereign principle of life.'" --Wikipedia<br/><br/> Fernand Roches unknown books

0510<br/><br/>Morgann Maurice. An Essay on Dramatic Character of Sir John Falstaff. London: Baldwyn 1820. Second edition first published anonymously in 1777. Morgann's essay was published anonymously. Though popular and influential in his lifetime he did not allow it to be reprinted during his lifetime he also had all his private papers burned. 8vo. Original boards paper label. 189pp. Except for slight chipping at top of spine a fine copy. This important essay provides a deeper understanding to a complex Shakespearean character. Its ostensible purpose is to vindicate Falstaff's courage and character. It went much further than that: "For style intellectuality knowledge of human nature and consequent profound appreciation of Shakespeare Morgan's essay has not been surpassed" DNB. "This essay forms a more honorable monument to the memory of Shakespeare than any which has been read of him by the united labours of his commentators" Symmonds. Samuel Johnson also praised it.

1971296854New York: Harper and Row 1971. Offset lithograph. Image measures 5 1/2" x 15 1/4". Sheet measures 10 1/4" x 18 1/2". Unsigned.<br/><br/> The original print of artwork from Maurice Sendak's 1965 "Hector Protector" was part of a boxed set released by Harper and Row in 1971. Entitled "Pictures by Maurice Sendak" the set includes original prints of images from the author's books here printed on single sheets rather than on two-page spreads. This particular image shows Hector Protector with a lion and a snake arriving at the Queen's Room. In the story naughty Hector is sent to bring a cake to the queen despite his complaints. He arrives without the cake but with a lion and a snake he encountered on the way. Sendak's illustration playfully communicates the emotion and personalities of the scene through the queen's look of dismay and Hector's expression and pose reflecting his disobedience. This print is characteristic of Sendak's work - the vivid colors and variety of textures speak to the author's beloved style and the scene appears to be somewhat frightening for children a theme that caused controversy for Sendak throughout his career. The print is in very good condition with wide margins as issued. Some faint foxing in margins not affecting the image.<BR><BR>Maurice Sendak 1928-2012 was an American illustrator and writer known for his children's books. Producing illustrations for other authors as well as for television he is best remembered for "Where the Wild Things Are" which is considered by some to be one of the first contemporary picture books.This print is a lovely example and memento of his work.
