Although he "produced no scientific work of serious consequence . He is known for his a wide circle of scientific acquaintances and for acting as an intermediary in disseminating new information. . He was a fellow of the Royal Society and a member of several European academies of science. . He wrote more about scientific instruments than about any other subject" D.S.B. This book is the first edition of "an important milestone in the early literature of gas analysis. . an account of his researches on gases addressed to his friend Joseph Priestley. The glass apparatus for impregnating water with fixed air carbon dioxide is described in detail. Newly improved by 'Mr. Parker' the apparatus was superior to that used by Priestley and described by him in 1772. Carbon dioxide was prepared by dissolving marble calcium carbonate in dilute sulphuric acid. Magellan also describes three new types of eudiometer he had designed; these and the apparatus for making carbonated waters are illustrated in the frontispiece" Neville II p.125. Further editions followed in 1779 and 1783.Priestley: ESTC t35302 Crook <i>Priestly Bibliography</i> S/473 To illustrate this work Priestly used plates nos. 2367 and 8 from his The History and present state of electricity and "it was not thought necessary to change the numbers of them" preface.

17932708028Madrid: Ibarra 1793. A very good copy. Quarto two volumes bound together with an engraved portrait of Magellan as frontispiece five fine large folding maps and five folding tables; original period binding of calf-backed marbled boards. <p><p>The full first edition complete with the separately published Apendice a la Relación Madrid 1793 which appeared ten years after the main work and is not present in all copies. This is the best early description of Patagonia and the Straits of Magellan giving the official account of the two expeditions made by Antonio de Córdoba to "ascertain the advisability of Spaniards continuing to use the Strait in voyages - the results indicated the negative. After these expeditions the Spanish trade routes were exclusively to east coast ports and then overland to the Pacific ports." Hill. As part of this the Relación provides a general history of earlier voyages of discovery to the Strait. The large folding maps fine and detailed are all based on observations made during the Córdoba voyages.</p> <p>Córdoba's exploration of the Strait of Magellan - recognised then as now an area of strategic and navigational significance - is accompanied by Vargas y Ponce's summary of the early explorations of the area mainly from an examination of original manuscripts in the Spanish archives. He discusses various means of navigating the Strait with detailed sailing instructions and describes the climate indigenous peoples and natural history of the region.</p> </p> . Ibarra unknown
