Palau Nº 90491 dice: Es curioso consignar que las pautas de las láminas para ambos tomos solo dan 11 y 36 retratos pero nada dice del resto de las láminas cuyo número no coincide ser el mismo en todos los ejemplares y es de suponer que se añadieron a la obra. Creemos que nuestro ejemplar está completo de láminas. MARINA PIRATAS CORSARIOS BUCANEROS Libro en español Imp. de José María Ducazcal (Domingo Carlos Vila y Juan Manini, Editores) hardcover
18355845C. Van Benthuysen; George H. Evans; 1835 1840 1841 1852. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 5 vols bound into contemporary cloth 7.25 x 4.63 inches frontispiece 202; 2; vii-viii ix-xxv 1; 4; frontispiece 4 126; 122; 74 pages. Excised leaf of an advertisement also laid in. First American editions of the Bible of Nature and of the Opus Maximum. Walking Stewart articulated a materialist philosophy of Nature which combined elements of pantheism with yogic notions of a single indissoluble consciousness. These early American imprints must have been read by the New England transcendentalists but I don't recall seeing Stewart discussed in the major biographies of Emerson or Thoreau. In any event the similarity is striking for example to Thoreau's Walking. The two volumes here of The Bible of Nature were published together by a consortium of free thought and radical publishers including expatriate English free thought emigrants Gilbert Vale and George Evans and by J. P. Mendum; the second volume as collected here appears either to be fragmentary or published solely as an introduction to stereotype editions of the Evans editions of Moral State of Nations and the Revelation of Nature. Something of a bibliographical tangle given that the stereotype plates were evidently available free to the asking for American radical publishers of the period and completeness of the second part of the Bible of Nature is unclear and may have been included here simply as a sort of table of contents to the volumes that here follow; whether this sammelband is as published and sold by the radical reformer George Henry Evans or had collected by an early reader is unclear. The New-York edition of Opus Maxium not located in OCLC. A nice copy with minimal wear some foxing and light staining; but still very good -- entirely and pleasantly readable throughout. Scarce. <br/><br/> C. Van Benthuysen; George H. Evans; hardcover
18140072711814. Quarter Vellum. Cloth Boards. Near Fine. Spectacular manuscript estate survey maps from early 19th Century. Folio 53 by 39 cm. 6 text pages followed by ten double paged maps all handsomely colored and detailed. The first nine maps are numbered 2 to 10 per table in front showing that notwithstanding the enumeration there is not a missing map. One map with extra fold-out flap addenda. An additional double-sided hand-colored map in the back inserted into the foliio and then two additional hand-colored survey maps by de la Marche or his son loose -- never bound in -- architectural sketch of the chateau footprint done in pen-and-ink -- two other smaller less visually exciting maps and some correspondence. Maps are colored in greens reds yellows and blues. The washes of color together with the obvious precision of the draftsmanship render these maps utilitarian in purpose originally pleasing to the eye and very decorative. Tiny vignettes of churches mark villages and forests are signified by dots representing trees as was the convention. This chateau belonged to M. François Louis Barrairon at the time. It is located in the Indre-et-Loire Department and is between and equidistant to Tours and Vendome. Condition: bottom of leaves stained and sometimes slightly chipped or chewed looking. A few other minor chips. A few un-obtrusive well-executed repairs of tears. unknown
