In 4° (290 x 218 mm). Pagg. XVI, 492, una grande carta in silografia, ripiegata, posta alla fine del tomo, dell'irrigazione del milanese. Mezza pelle di vitello nocciola, tagli a spruzzo, titolo su tassello in marocchino verde e fregi in oro. <BR>Prima edizione. L'opera offre notizie storiche sui secoli precedenti e sul diciannovesimo, trattando di tutti i lavori di canalizzazione e dei Navigli. (Treccani:) "Nel 1823 aveva terminato la Storia dei progetti e delle opere per l'irrigazione del Milanese;non ottenendo dall'autorità austriaca la necessaria licenza di stampa, il B. consegnò il manoscritto a G. Ciani, allora a Lugano, che ve lo fece stampare dal Ruggia nel 1834. In questo grosso studio (pp. 492), rifacendosi anche agli esempi antichi, il B. si soffermava su progetti di grandiosi canali per bonificare le brughiere in modo da metterle in coltivazione e accrescerne la produttività. Il suggerimento d'industrializzare la ricerca e la distribuzione dell'acqua s'accompagnava alla proposta di impiegare pompe aspiranti di grandi dimensioni che facilitassero la cattura di nuove sorgenti, e di adottare motori a vapore per innalzare l'acqua destinata alle irrigazioni e agli acquedotti cittadini. Datano a quegli anni gli studi sulle inondazioni provocate dalle acque lacustri (Manifesto d'associazione,ossia programma per la bonificazione dei terreni paludosi e vallivi di Lombardia, Milano 1839)". Bell'esemplare ad ampi margini, presenta lievissime fioriture saltuarie, piccolo strappetto alla carta lungo una piega. Timbretto di collezione privata ripetuto al frontespizio, a 3 pagg. ed alle sguardie.<BR><BR>
In-8 (mm. 247x170), mz. pergamena con ang., titolo oro su tassello al dorso, pp. XII,911, ben illustrato nel t. da 176 inc. su legno. La prima parte è dedicata alla cucina di famiglia propriamente detta, senza complicazioni di fatica nè di spesa; nella seconda parte si presenta la ‘Grande Cucina’ in tutto il suo sviluppo e i suoi perfezionamenti “evitando tutte le denominazioni pompose o strane, tutti i ridicoli ciarlatanismi di pietanze sconosciute, che rappresentano cose di pura pompa e che nessuno mangia”, così precisa l’A. nella Prefazione. Cfr. Vicaire, p. 417/18 che cita le varie ediz. di questo celebrato testo, a partire dalla prima del 1867: "Cet ouvrage culinaire est un des plus complet et des plus sérieusement traités qui existent; les recettes que l'on y trouve sont fort récherchées, mais il faut avoir un budget assez important pour suivre les savants conseils de ce maitre de l'art culinaire" - Bitting, p. 195.

L’opera contiene i commenti di Giulio Guastavino ai primi dieci libri dei “Problemata” di Aristotele riguardanti la medicina, scritti in greco, con la versione latina di Theodoro Gaza. "Prima ed unica edizione". Cfr. Krivatsy, n. 5065, p. 504 - Dictionaire de sciences médicales,IV, p. 534. “Aristotele, per quanto abbia certamente esercitato una scarsa influenza sui medici dei suoi tempi, pure per l’importanza che il ‘maestro di color che sanno’ ebbe in tutta la storia della coltura umana fino al XVI secolo e oltre, è da considerrsi anche nel campo della medicina come uno dei maggiori precursori”, così Castiglioni “Storia della medicina”, p. 186. Eloy “Dizionario storico della medicina”,III, p. 207: “Giulio Guastavino nacque in Genova da una famiglia patrizia. Fu primario Professore nella Scuola di Medicina di Pisa ca. l’anno 1614 (morì nel 1633)”.

Krivatsy,9011 - De Renzi,III, p. 280 e 303: “Luigi Bonacciuoli era di Ferrara, ed ivi esercitava medicina e filosofia nel principio del XVI secolo: si occupò soprattutto della descrizione degli organi genitali della donna. Egli fu esatto nel dare precetti igienici: e per le descrizioni anatomiche si valse delle ricerche degli antichi.. si occupò anche della gravidanza e della formazione del feto”.<br> Con lievi arross. ma complessivam. ben conservato.

Cfr. Garrison / Morton,5835 per la prima ediz. del 1801 : “This work was the first text-book on the subject to be published in the Italian language. Its author has been called ‘the father of Italian ophthalmology’”. "Antonio Scarpa (1752-1832) fu anatomico e chirurgo di grandissimo valore. Il suo "Saggio di osservazioni sulle principali malattie degli occhi", pubblicato nel 1801, ebbe 4 ediz. italiane, 2 tedesche, 2 inglesi e 5 francesi e fu considerato come testo classico di oftalmologia durante i primi decenni dell'800. Lo Scarpa fu, assieme allo Spallanzani, al Volta e al Frank, uno dei più illustri insegnanti della scuola di Pavia che raggiunse verso la fine del '700 l'apice del suo splendore". Così Castiglioni, p. 616. Con arross. e fiorit. ma complessivam. un discreto esemplare.

Very good. with: Annual Report of the Mexican Telephone Company. 1890-1891. Boston: E.W.S. Jones Stationer and Printer 1891. 11pp. Original printed wrappers stapled. Wrappers somewhat toned small chip at each corner short vertical closed tear and some discoloration to front wrapper. Soft vertical crease throughout. Internally clean. An informative pair of rare and early reports from the Mexican Telephone Company a subsidiary of American Bell Telephone Company that sought to establish a national telephone network across Mexico during the 1880s. The Mexican Telephone Company began operations in 1882 using equipment from Western Electric and other supplies harvested from local Mexican markets specifically Mexican trees for telephone poles. At first the company met with success but over the course of the next two decades the company's work was eroded by a combination of increasing competition unsound workmanship the volatility of the Mexican financial markets and the restructuring and merging of telephone companies around the turn of the century. By 1905 the Mexican Telephone Company was sold or transferred to the Boston Telephone Company. Renamed the Mexican Telephone and Telegraph Company the branch continued to operate in Mexico contributing to the construction of an underground cable network.<br /> <br /> The present pamphlets provide interesting insight into the early years of the company's operations in Mexico. The first pamphlet opens with a letter to stockholders from J.D. Sargent the company's president. Sargent informs the investors of recent mismanagement of funds by the company's treasurer with which the company is dealing. He also reports on the company's takeover of the Puebla Telephone and Telegraph Company the infringement of the company's territorial rights by rival companies the hopeful outlook for completion of a railroad to Guadalajara which will likely result in "a decided improvement in business there for the future" and other news vital to the company's operations in Mexico. The following four pages are comprised of a detailed financial report to Sargent and the company directors by the general manager of the company M.L. Guiraud. Rounding out the first work is a two-page Treasurer's Report by the Treasurer pro tem. A.E. Denison.<br /> <br /> The later report indicates some volatility in the company's ranks as the opening letter from the president of the company is delivered by a new president Robert Colgate. Early in his letter Colgate mentions that he has been head of the company for two years and was part of a new regime put in place to curtail expenses liquidate outstanding obligations and "settle all outstanding claims with the view of putting the Company on a strong financial basis." Much of the remainder of Colgate's letter addresses lawsuits claims and other business which have now brought the health of the company to a "very satisfactory condition." The remainder of this annual report is a Treasurer's Report from yet another new treasurer W. French Smith. <br /> <br /> OCLC reports just a single copy of the later report at the University of Michigan. There are no holdings reported for the earlier report from 1887.

19554891London England: Labour Information Office / United States Information Service 1955. Very good. 29pp. Folio. Original printed wrappers stapled. Noticeable toning and spotting to wrappers minor edge wear. Light toning to first text leaf. A rare collection of offprints of three articles which first appeared in the English publication Labour News from the U.S. in 1955 on the subject of automation in the American car industry along with a glossary of terms compiled by the United Auto Workers UAW. Two of the articles were authored by Walter P. Reuther president of the UAW and the third was written by D.J. Davis vice president of the Ford Motor Company. The articles were presented by the authors to a special joint subcommittee of the United States Congress. Reuther reports from the labor perspective writing that automation is welcomed by labor unions but he also points out the many problems of the practice. He also discusses the impending effects of electronic computers on society the responsibilities of employers the productivity of capital the need for growth in consumer markets the need for small business aid and more. Reuther suggests policies such as a more equitable distribution of the tax burden adequate unemployment compensation improved social security a higher minimum wage and other improvements that will satisfy the labor market in the advent of more automation. Davis's article provides the Ford Motor Company's perspective on the issue their definition of automation as well as its economics and effects. The glossary comes from a pamphlet printed by the UAW the same year and provides definitions of a range of terms such as automation servomechanism cybernetics and robot among others. We locate no other copies of this collection of offprints on automation from 1955 providing early information on the effects of computers and perhaps foretelling the advent of artificial intelligence on American industry.

First edition, [6], 255, [1]pp., 4 large folding engraved plates of various different ploughs, contemporary tree calf, rebacked, label, a good copy. James Small, agriculturist and plough maker, was born at Upsettlington in the parish of Ladykirk, Berwickshire. He served an apprenticeship with a carpenter and plough maker at Hutton, Berwickshire, and about 1758 he went to Yorkshire to work for a Mr Robertson, maker of wagons and carriages at Doncaster. He returned to Scotland in 1763 and started to experiment with ploughs to establish which worked with the least draught. He enjoyed patronage from several leaders of Scottish society. Henry Home, Lord Kames, encouraged him in the publication of his treatise. Sir John Sinclair, a leader of progressive agricultural opinion in Scotland, was another champion of Small and his work. Small did not forget his first investor, Renton, who in 1784 became the dedicatee of his "Treatise of Ploughs and Wheel-Carriages." The book made Small the first to set out the scientific principles of plough design in print, building upon and clarifying the work of previous thinkers on the subject as well as expressing his own theories. This treatise was the standard text on plough design for fifty years. Rothamsted, p.136; Not in Perkins; Fussell II, pp.98-9.
