18893Photograph album circa 1900. Small oblong quarto 165 x 235 mm half morocco with ornamental gilt rule over faux crocodile papered boards original floral-patterned lining papers front pastedown with binder's ticket of bookseller and stationer Gilon Verviers Belgium; 20 leaves of thick card containing 4 cabinet card format portrait photographs of Lazarist missionary Father Jacques Jamar - 2 taken in China and showing him wearing Chinese clothing one taken in Amiens loose and the other probably in a Belgian studio - and a carte de visite format albumen print also showing the missionary in Chinese attire 4 of the 5 portraits are mounted and have contemporary captions in ink on the album pages identifying the subject as 'Jacques Jamar Missionnaire Lazariste Chine'; 8 pages on which are mounted 15 late Qing period traditional Chinese dolls depicting men women and children various sizes up to 200 mm made from paper and silk most embellished with seed pearl buttons and several with human hair all in very good condition apart from one which has lost the paper head; 5 tipped-in silver gelatin prints each 205 x 140 mm dating to around 1920 showing the Catholic Cathedral at Chengtingfu and various Chinese temples these are captioned Cathédrale de Tcheng Ting Fou Tchuan t'a Mou t'a Ts'ung t'a and Hoa t'a; 3 studio portraits dating to the early 1900s of Belgian Catholic nuns identified as Mère Célestine and Mère Léonie 2; a page with a religious dedication to 'Rita Comet' dated July 1964 likely written by a Chinese-speaking Belgian missionary but with indecipherable signature in Chinese calligraphy and in French: 'Sacrifice total Charité vraie et Joie constante: trois sentences du Père Lebbe' Father Frédéric-Vincent Lebbe was also a Belgian Roman Catholic missionary to China whose advocacy led the pope to appoint the first native Chinese bishops; he chose to become a Chinese citizen at a time when missionaries like all Westerners enjoyed legal privileges in China including immunity from Chinese law; he died in 1940 following his capture by the Chinese Communists; a loose black-and-white photograph of Chiang Kai-shek leader of the Republic of China Taiwan shaking hands with a Belgian missionary inscribed verso 'A Mademoiselle Rita Comet souvenir de la Chine Libre' with same indecipherable signature as that on the dedication page and wet stamps 'Photo by Wu Chung Yee' and 'Nov. 26 1964'; the remainder of the pages are taken up with several family photographs from the 1920s including the First Communion of a young girl Rita Comet and some early twentieth century views of London; album pages with occasional mild foxing but overall the contents are in very good condition. The Belgian missionary Jacques Jamar was born in 1876. He was ordained in the Congregation of the Mission of St. Vincent de Paul also known as the Lazarists Lazarites or Vincentians in 1895 and was sent to China as a missionary in 1903. For several decades Father Jamar worked at the Chengtingfu Mission in Hopeh Hebei province. See for example Catalogue des maisons et du personnel de la Congrégation de la Mission 1947 p 108. It seems likely that the present album originally belonged to a close member of Father Jamar's family; the photographs taken in China as well as the Chinese dolls would have been sent home to Belgium by the missionary and preserved for posterity in it along with other significant family photographs. The album appears to have been inherited later on by Mademoiselle Comet. Also a devout Catholic her additions to the album continue the theme of Belgian missionaries to China even though they were made 60 years after the portraits of Father Jamar. hardcover
186245927Uppsala C.A. Leffler 1862. 4to. Later blank boards. Uncut. Offprint from "Nova Acta Reg.Soc. Sc. Ups.". 10 pp. and 1 folded plate. <br/><br/><em>First edition. In this paper Ångström deduces the mean period of Halley's Comet by a statistical approach. From his analysis he discovered that the average time between perihelions was 76.93 years and found that thsi period varied in a cyclical manner.Ångström was one of the early formulators of the science of modern spectroscopy; he wrote extensively on terrestrial magnetism the conduction of heat and especially spectroscopy. He published a monumental map of the normal solar spectrum that expressed the length of light waves in units of one ten-millionth of a millimeter a unit of length now known as the angstrom. He discovered that hydrogen is present in the sun's atmosphere and he was the first to examine the spectrum of the aurora borealis. </em> hardcover

Uden omslag som udkommet i Videnskabernes Selskabs Skrifter. 79 pp. samt 3 kobberstukne foldeplancher. <br/><br/><em>I afhandlingen afbilder den ene planche af stjernehimlen kometens bane som den blev iagttaget i København fra begyndelsen af oktober 1807. Blandt de detaljerede beregninger og beskrivelser af kometen indeholder afhandlingen også en paragraf hvori Bugge forsøger at eliminere frygten for de skadevirkninger kometen kunne forsage. Om sandsynligheden for et sammenstød med Jorden skriver Bugge:"man kan vædde Qvadratet ef et uendeligt stort Tal imod een at Jordens Sammenstød med en Comet ej nogensinde vil indtræffe." </em> unknown
