Nineteenth century half calf and marbled boards now lacking the leather corner-pieces revealing earlier full vellum boards underneath; covers a little worn; light tidemark to the bottom inner corner of the text block throughout; a little worming to the top blank margin of the first 25 leaves; insect damage to the bottom edge extending at most a few millimetres into the wide blank bottom margins; first title leaf dusty and a little soiled; the five missing leaves notwithstanding overall a very presentable copy. The second edition of Claude Mydorge's expanded edition and critique of this popular early work of recreational mathematics first published in 1624 and usually attributed to Jean Leurechon. Each of Leurechon's mathematical problems is reprinted here in roman type with Mydorge's explanatory notes and criticism following in italic. The third part albeit relatively insubstantial only 44 well-illustrated pages is devoted exclusively to fireworks and their construction which probably explains the few missing leaves. The subtitle is: 'Composée d'un receuil de plusieurs plaisantes & recreatives inventions de feux d'artifice plus la maniere de faire toutes sortes de fuzées tant simples que doubles avec leur composition le tout representé par figures sic' Comprising a collection of several pleasant and recreative inventions of fireworks plus the manner of making all sorts of rockets both single and double with their composition all represented in figures. This third part together with the second made its first appearance in a 1628 edition of 'Récréations Mathématiques' published by Charles Osmont at Rouen.

'Mydorge's first major work was the "Examen du livre des Récréations mathématiques" published in 1630. As the title suggests it was a work on recreational mathematics and was effectively a critique of Laurechon's sic book on the theme 'Récréations mathématiques' by the French Jesuit Jean Leurechon writing under the pen name of van Etten first appeared in 1624.

This is Ferguson 9924e which is essentially the same item as Ferguson 9807 apart from the different publishers.

The nature of the contents reworked material from well-known earlier artists the medium tinted lithographs printed in brown and the style of the work leave us in no doubt that May is responsible for all the material in '14 Views of Old Adelaide'. <p>We suggest that the ten lithographs offered here were prepared by him with the intention of putting out a companion volume to '14 Views of Old Adelaide'. The change of publisher after that book was printed leads us also to suggest that Galbraith or May or both lost money on the venture and who knows perhaps the Wigg issue was not a commercial success either. In any event one could see how enthusiasm for a sequel might be considerably diminished. All of these plates are rare; complete sets of them are exceptionally rare on the open market even Kerr's dictionary refers to only nine of them. Until now they have been poorly documented in the literature; fortunately some of them have survived to tell their own worthy tale. unknown

1890128029Adelaide: Fruhling Studio 62 Rundle Street 1890. Very Good. Adelaide Fruhling Studio 62 Rundle Street mid- to late-1890s. A vintage gelatin silver photograph 134 × 94 mm mounted on the original cabinet card 165 × 110 mm with the photographer's details blindstamped in the bottom margin. Both the photograph and mount are in excellent condition. Contemporary business directories indicate that Fruhling Studio commenced operating from 62 Rundle Street in 1895 'Portrait and Enlarging Co. Fruhling & Co.'; this 'continued until 1913 when the address was changed to 62A Rundle Street. From 1918 to 1927 the address was given as 103A Rundle Street. Although listed as Fruhling & Co. in directories the name Fruhling Studios sic was usually printed on their photographs' Photohistory SA website. The particulars of the uniform elude us but the following information about the parlous state of military affairs in colonial SA at the time this photograph was taken provides some context. These comments come from an unpublished manuscript by Geoffrey H. Manning 'The Russians are Coming - The Defence of Colonial South Australia' now in the State Library of SA. 'By May of 1896 it was finally recognised that the basis upon which the military forces of the Australian colonies were organised was unsatisfactory and it was to cure defects and place matters on a more effective footing that a Consolidating and Amending Act had been passed in the previous session. In the dying days of Parliament its progress through all stages was pushed on and the headlong speed with which it was carried through the two chambers necessarily militated against the critical examination of its many clauses.The fact that the majority of the sections were merely repetitions of those in existing Acts was obviously no justification for dealing with the Bill in such a spasmodic manner. After the Act was assented to more than four months were allowed to pass without anything being done to bring the members of the old force together with a view to acquainting them with the conditions under which they were to be asked to enroll and this policy of procrastination was observed to the last. <p>Enrolment commenced in August but in the face of the many other allurements held out to the youth of South Australia in the form of cricket football baseball lacrosse and - most attractive of all - cycling it was not to be wondered that the process of recruiting was painfully slow; by mid-February 1897 there had been 611 enrollments. With this change came the end of the colourful uniforms that marked the early military history of the colony. The scarlet tunics white-striped blue trousers and white helmets that had followed the grey uniform of the 1880s - the "Destitutes" they called the men in these uniforms - were replaced by khaki with maroon facings and a felt hat. <p>The first parade of the new military forces took place on 3 October 1896 when "The South Australian Army" presented a rather nondescript appearance owing to the fact of so many recruits being in the ranks and yet unprovided with uniforms and also a proportion of men in the old force whose uniforms were worn out and too shabby for wear. The public manifested little interest in the proceedings - it was race-day - and moreover the band was not expressively in evidence. A few people probably the mothers and fathers the sisters and the aunts of the new recruits attended'. Fruhling Studio, 62 Rundle Street unknown

We pray that ere the distinguished Mission returns to its beloved land complete and decisive Victory will have been won by the Allies and the Joy Bells of Peace will have rung throughout the world'.
