Fine Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). [iii], 182 p., richly illustrated. First and only edition of one of the earliest and extremely rare Ottoman Turkish book on electricity published after the proclamation of the Republic in Turkey. It's a complete guide to electricity including how to install power plants, generators, and their working principles, etc. One of the most important breakthroughs of the regime in the Republican period was the delivery of electricity to many cities and villages of Turkey after the proclamation of the Republic. The electricity question and energy policies were also reflected in the propaganda material of the Republican regime. After the Alphabet Revolution in 1928, after the very few electrical books written in Ottoman Turkish, many books, posters, brochures, and periodicals were published, especially in the 1930s... Hasan Enver Pasha was an Ottoman general. He was the son of Mustafa Celalettin Pasha a Polish convert to Islam and the daughter of Omer Pasha.

They had five children: Celile who became the mother of Nâzim Hikmet, Münevver who became the mother of Oktay Rifat, Mustafa Celalettin, Mehmet Ali, and Sara. In 1901, he led an expedition to deliver Islamic and pan-Islamic messages to the Muslims of China. Özege 15207.; TBTK 12692.; OCLC 850834945 (Only one copy worldwide).

Hasan Halet Isikpinar, was a Turkish engineer and professor. He initially graduated from Robert College as an electrical engineer in 1916, being the first Turkish graduate of the engineering department. He advanced his studies to receive a degree of mechanical engineering from the same institution in 1922. After his assistantship in Robert College from 1923 to 1925, he attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology until 1928 and graduated as the first Turkish student of the university. He kept his tenure as a professor in Robert College in the department of engineering until 1934, where he contributed to the advancement of the department of electrical engineering to a significant extent. He led over 800 engineering projects in Turkey, majority of which being the first examples within the newly founded Turkish Republic. He was fluent in multiple languages including English, French, German and Italian, with his most notable works including widely sourced engineering books in these languages, including "L'Industrie Electrique et les Ressources Motrices de la Turquie", in which he stressed the importance of Turkey as a petroleum resource. He later presented his findings on the topic to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. He is the son of Mehmet Halit Taspinar, a government officer with civilian Pasha rank equals to Ferik in the government of Abdul Hamid II, best known for passing critical government correspondence to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk during the Turkish War of Independence to support 'Kuva-yi Milliye' (National Forces).

Desaguliers was elected to the Royal Society of London in 1714 as experimental assistant to Isaac Newton and he later popularised Newtonian theories and their practical applications in public lectures as well as his written works. By the time of his death he had given over 140 courses on mechanics, hydrostatics, pneumatics, optics and astronomy. "The two-volume set promotes the Newtonian tradition and quotes experiments that confirmed Newton's queries, especially from the Opticks. Desaguliers also describes a number of electrical experiments and contributes to the popularization of the study of electricity. Each volume contains six lectures, richly illustrated by experiments and annotated. The second volume deals mostly with applied science and engineering."?Norman.
