Pergamentrückenschildchen und reicher, teils oxydierter Goldprägung in den Rückenfeldern. Qu.-4to. Das seltene, reich illustrierte Werk zur Festungsbaukunst handelt davon, "wie man die Royal-Vestungen und Cittadelle, Auxiliar-Wercke und Contra-Approschen, Retrenchementer und Feld-Schantzen, auff alten und neuen Plätzen, regular und irregular, in Eyl und mit Weile, mit kleinen als auch ansehnlichen Unkosten, aus siben wichtigen approbirten Militarischen Haubt-Maximen, dergestalten disponiren, erbauen und verthaidigen möge, daß ein darfür attaquirender Feind ehender ermüden müsse weder obsigen könne." - Borgsdorff "war kaiserl. Oberingenieur und trat in der Folge auf Befehl Kaiser Leopolds in den Dienst Peters des Großen. Hier leitete er 1696 die 2-jähr. Belagerung v. Asow, wie Glaser sagt, 'auf eine außerordentliche Weise', indem er eine besondere, sonst außergewöhnliche Art, zu approchiren angebe, weil denen solcher Arbeit noch unerfahrnen Russen die gewöhnliche Art in kurtzer Zeit nicht begreiflich zu machen war: die Erd-Waltzen genannt. Nach Eroberung dieses wichtigen Platzes baute er 1698 einige gantz neue Fortressen in selbiger Gegend" (Jähns).

4to (176 x 217 mm). (2), 20, 322, (2), 16, (4) pp. Title-page printed in red and black. With 4 folding plates. Contemporary Austrian full calf binding, covers ruled in blind, spine richly gilt, with two red leather labels. Marbled endpapers. All edges red. One of the fundamental books in the history of scientific thought, in which Boscovich developed his theory of "points" which are the first elements of all matter. Second edition, published a year after the first. - Concerning himself with the elementary constitution of matter, the nature and behaviour of physical forces, light, and atoms, Boscovich anticipated many of the features of the atomic and nuclear physics of our own times, and was the true creator of atomic physics as we understand it today. He predicted the penetrability of matter by high-speed particles and the possibility of states of matter of exceptionally high density. "The Theory of Natural Philosophy is now recognized as having exerted a fundamental influence on modern mathematical physics. As the title of his book implies, [Boscovich] considered that a single law was the basis of all natural phenomena and of the properties of matter; that the multiplicity of physical forces was only apparent and due to inadequate mathematical knowledge" (PMM). - Born at Dubrovnik in 1711, Boscovich became a Jesuit and spent most of his career in Italy as professor of mathematics at Rome and Pavia and as director of the observatory at Milan; he also taught in Vienna and Paris. Although then regarded as highly speculative, his "Theoria" enjoyed an immediate success in scientific circles across Europe, and its influence was felt and acknowledged for generations to come by such giants as Joseph Priestley, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, Lord Kelvin, J. J. Thomson, and Niels Bohr. - This edition was released in 1759, to compete with the re-issue produced that same year by Kaliwoda, the Viennese printer of the first edition, and all three early Vienna editions are extremely rare. The earliest edition usually encountered is that printed in Venice in 1763, which is the one that J. M. Child reprinted and translated into English in 1922. - Includes the "Adnotanda et corrigenda" as well as the "Monitum" leaves, both frequently lacking. The 16-page "Epistola ad Carolum Scherffer" is bound after the "Finis". Occasional light brownstaining. Traces of a removed bookplate on the front pastedown. In all a very appealing copy.

Contemp. cloth with giltstamped red spine labels. 8vo and 4to. Second edition of Goethe's principal scientific work, the "Farbenlehre" (Sämmtliche Schriften, vols. XX-XXIII, with half titles), including the quarto-sized "Erklärung der zur Goethe’s Farbenlehre gehörigen Tafeln" and the "Anzeige und Übersicht", which is also usually found missing. "Goethe's first publication on optics culminated in his 'Zur Farbenlehre', his longest and, in his own view, best work, today known principally as a fierce and unsuccessful attack on Newton's demonstration that white light is composite" (DSB V, 445). In 1810-17, Geistinger published a pirated edition of Goethe's works; the "Farbenlehre" was issued both separately with its own title page and as part of the collected works. The scarcity of Geistinger's edition (the only one published during the author's lifetime to include the "Farbenlehre") is dicussed by K. Dorn in his article "Habent sua fata libelli", in: Aus dem Antiquariat 1988, p. 379f. Goethe counted this edition of his works among the good ones, but himself owned only an incomplete copy. - Much rarer than the edition published in 1810: not in ABPC auction records since 1975; OCLC lists only two copies (Johns Hopkins Univ., San Diego Univ.). - Slightly browned and brownstained; plate volume foxed; plates trimmed and mounted on backing paper.

The Influence of Civic Life, Sedentary Habits, and Intellectual Refinement, on Human Health, and Human Happiness, Including an Estimate of the Balance of Enjoyment and Suffering in the Different Gradations of Society. London, (W. Thorne for) T. & G. Underwood et al., 1818. VIII, 93, (1) pp. Contemporary full green straight morocco (bound by Charles Hering, Jr., of London) with gilt spine title and the gilt arms of the Earls of Harrington on both covers. Leading edges gilt; gilt inner dentelle. Matching green endpapers. Green silk ribbon. All edges gilt. First edition of this rare and early vegetarian work. J. F. Newton (1767-1837) sought to popularise the vegetable and distilled water diet of the physician and veganism pioneer William Lambe, whose patient he was. In his book, Newton promoted his own "regimen of distilled water and vegetable diet" (p. 66), believing vegetables to be the natural food of man and animal flesh unhealthy and unnatural. It was Newton who converted Percy B. Shelley to a vegetarian lifestyle, and his book influenced the poet's 1813 pamphlet on vegetarianism and animal rights, "A Vindication of Natural Diet". - Bound with this is a rare hygienic work by the surgeon J. Johnson (1777-1845), physician to the Duke of Clarence (afterward King William IV). - Interior very slightly browned, but a fine specimen, beautifully bound by Charles Hering for the library of Charles Stanhope, Viscount Petersham and afterwards the 4th Earl of Harrington (1780-1851). Known as "Beau" Petersham, the eccentric but much-imitated gentleman was a close friend of the Prince Regent George, who emulated his mannerisms in clothing, tea mixes, and consumption of snuff. Lord Petersham designed many of his own clothes and his fashions were quickly copied; he made famous the "Harrington" hat and the "Petersham" overcoat. The final pages of the present volume contain contemporary handwritten annotations about the poisonous effects of a fruitarian diet of (quoted from Jacques de Sade's "Mémoires pour la vie de Pétrarque") and about the high regard in which Galen and Hippocrates held water and abstinence, very likely in Petersham's own hand.
13 pp. Disbound. First edition of Thomas Paine's final work: his essay on the cause of yellow fever, written during the summer of 1805 while Paine was at New Rochelle. "As he explained, 'the fever breaking out in the city prevented my sending it for publication'. Although he had intended to let his house in New Rochelle 'to some New Yorker for the summer', the outbreak of fever in New York led to his spending most of the latter half of 1805 and the first half of 1806 at home" (Speck, A Political Biography of Thomas Paine, p. 190f.). Paine held that the illness (now known to be transmitted by the yellow fever mosquito) was generated by "the impure air or [pernicious] vapour [issuing] from the [...] new made earth, raised on the muddy and filthy part of the river". - One of the Founding Fathers of the United States, Paine in 1776 authored the electrifying pamphlet "Common Sense", inspiring Americans to declare independence from Britain. The present treatise, first published in newspapers in 1806, bears witness to the strong scientific interests that Paine maintained beyond his many political activities. He died in 1809, his health having been failing for some time. - Very rare: WorldCat records only eight copies worldwide (seven in the U.S. and one in the National Library of Australia); no copy in British Library or COPAC. This copy removed from the Norwich & Norfolk United Medical Book Society (their stamp on title page), inscribed in a contemporary hand above the title: "Presented by the Hospital Medical Board". Sabin 58232. Not in Wellcome, Waller or Osler.
Folio. (12), 708, (28) pp. With the title-page in a border built up from cast fleurons and 5 engraved plates. Contemporary sheepskin parchment; recased, with later endpapers. Rare third edition of a work on pharmaceutical chemistry written by the Spanish apothecary Félix Palacios (1677-1737). When the Palestra pharmaceutica appeared in 1706, it was the first work on the subject written in the Spanish language. Even though the book became widely accepted and used in Spain, Palacios met strong resistance from his colleagues because he rejected the galenic, or plant based, medicines in favour of chemical medicines. With this he rejected the ideas of Galen, Mesue and Dioscorides, which were still the standard in most parts of Europe and the Middle East. The work starts with a preliminary text, followed by a chapter on the general principles of pharmacy and chemistry in the form of questions and answers. The other four chapters deal with the ingredients and making of the medicines. It discusses distillation and calcination methods with the engraved plates showing various tools and instruments: pots, furnaces, alambics etc. - First few leaves slightly damaged along the extremities, waterstains throughout and binding soiled, worn and recased; a fair copy.

Folio (224 x 335 mm). 5 parts in one volume. Each with a title-page in red and black, 2 [part III: 3] letterpress pp. and 18 numbered engraved plates. In total 90 engraved plates. Contemporary full calf with giltstamped red and green labels to prettily gilt spine. All edges red. First edition. - This "masterpiece" (cf. Cobres) by the German engraver and publisher is considered the "most extensive and widely useful collection, owing its existence solely to him [Ridinger]" (cf. Thienemann). It includes a sequence of zoologically themed plates which "are highly sought after and often copied" (cf. Thienemann), showing animals in their characteristic actions and surroundings. Part one presents sporting dogs, while part two treats wild animals, such as lions, tigers and aurochs. Parts three and four cover "principal animals of the chase" (Schwerdt), namely aurochs, bears, stags, boars, deer, ibexes, chamois, lynxes and wolves. "Lesser animals of the chase" (Schwerdt), like foxes, rabbits, badgers, otters, beavers and squirrels are included in the fifth part. Two additional parts, showing horses, mules and donkeys, would be issued until 1755. - Contemporary bookplate of Count Ladislaus Kemeny to the patterned pastedown. A few notes in ink, mostly stating animals' Latin names. Binding and pastedowns slightly wormed. Top spine end missing, lower one scuffed. A few pages brownstained, plate 86 waterstained, a small tear in plate 81 (not touching image).

Joseph-Dominique de Cheylus (Avignon, 1717 - Jersey, 1797), évêque de Bayeux et premier Aumônier de la Comtesse d'Artois. L'abbé de Cheylus, fut évêque de Cahors (1766) et de Bayeux (1777) avec, pour celle-ci, une rente annuelle de 90.000 livres. Premier Aumônier de la Comtesse d'Artois, en 1790 il devient maire de Bayeux; mais il refuse de prêter serment à la constitution civile du clergé. Il émigre à Jersey. Sa riche bibliothèque fut séquestrée et confisquée au profit de la Nation et M. Simien Despréaux, en 1793, fut chargé d'en rédiger l'inventaire (seul l' "Inventaire des livres trouvés dans la bibliothèque de l'émigré Cheylus, Théâtre et Poésies et Romans" subsiste, avec 145 ouvrages en 495 volumes). "L'importance de la bibliothèque de l'évêque est considérable et son inventaire mériterait d'en être dressé. Lorsque ces livres seront réclamés en mai 1803 par ses héritiers, les commissaires feront valoir que les 4082 volumes étiquetés Aa (c'est à dire provenant de la bibliothèque de Mgr. de Cheylus) par M. Simien Despréaux dans le dépôt A constituent une collection d'ouvrages précieux de toutes les parties de l'histoire, de la littérature et des sciences". ("Des chanoines et des livres.

"The main text is a reissue of the 1674 edition" (Krivatsy). Wedel not only evaluates the medical literature but also all available travel reports. The chapter entitled "An aphrodisiacum sit opium & mulierem excitet?" provides an overview of the various opinions, including Saar's account from his East Indian journeys noting the use of opium in Batavian brothels, as well as Garcia's contradictory information that opium leads to infertility and impotence (p. 128f.). The title vignette depicts a Turkish opium picker: scratching the poppy seed capsule with his knife, he collects the sap. The appendix contains the first printing of a dissertation on the qualities of opium, written by Michael Ettmüller (d. 1683), who dedicated his work to his colleage Wedel. - G. W. Wedel (1645-1721) was one of the principal physicians of his age. He authored 49 books and was the teacher of several progressively minded medical men. He is credited with the timeless aphorism that "medicine is nothing but the incessant renewal of ignorance." His "Opiologia" won him admission to the Academy of Naturalists, the still-extant "Leopoldina" in Halle. "Wedel stood midway between medieval and modern world views, defending astrology and alchemy and championing iatrochemistry" (DSB XIV, 212). "Wedel appears to have been one of the first to employ the word physiology in its present restricted sense" (Thorndike VIII, s. v.). - Evenly browned throughout; binding slightly rubbed. A fine copy.

in-folio, ff. (10), 319, legatura moderna ad imitazione antica in p. pelle, bordura ai piatti, fregi e titolo al dorso, il tutto in oro. Dedica dell'editore a Giacomo Vedova. Impresa tipogr. al tit., gran numero di silografie n.t. di crani, ferite, strumenti chirurgici, forbici, pinze, bisturi, cuciture; due silogr. a piena pag. raffig. l'estrazione di una freccia e la cauterizzazione di una ferita d'arma da fuoco. Tre belle silogr. raffig. operazioni di trapanazione del cranio realizzate in interno con chirurghi, infermieri e parenti in abiti cinquecenteschi. (Da notarsi la spiritosa presenza nelle stanze elegantemente arredate di cani, gatti e topi in evidente attesa di ''bocconi''). Rispetto alle ediz. precedenti sono più numerose le figure di strumenti e sono aggiunte, nel libro quinto, alcune silogr. anatomiche. Il libro quarto è aumentato della traduzione dell'opera di Jean Tagault, mentre il libro sesto lo è del Trattato di Jacques Houllier. Terza edizione italiana (la prima è del 1574) di una delle più belle e più importanti tra le opere di chirurgia del Cinquecento. Giovanni Andrea Della Croce (Venezia, 1514-1575), figlio di un barbiere, fin dal 1532 fu accolto come membro dal Collegio chirurgico di Venezia, tra le più rinomate corporazioni mediche del tempo, che aveva il monopolio della cura dei feriti; fu quindi a Feltre sino al 1546; tornato a Venezia, ebbe l'incarico di medico della flotta veneziana, e approfondì gli studi sulle ferite d'arma da fuoco. La sua Chirurgia ebbe fama europea e fu tradotta in varie lingue; è divisa in 7 libri, che trattano di ascessi e tumori; ferite; ulcere; fratture ossee; cauterizzazioni, flebotomia e litotrizia; il sesto è un antidotario e il settimo reca una serie di figure relative allo strumentario per le operazioni trattate. La diffusione dell'opera fu dovuta anche all'introduzione di sinonimi nelle varie lingue per designare le affezioni morbose, nonchè la ricchezza di esempi pratici.
