109 fascicoli, per un totale di oltre 11000 pagine e nuerose tavv. f.t. in lit. La rivista si presenta legata in br. ed. ed e' in buone condizioni generali, qualche fascicolo presenta lievi mancanze ai d. Collezione quasi completa, rarissima, della nota rivista che comincio' il suo corso di pubblicazioni nel 1890 e usci' con scadenza trimestrale con una media di 4 fascicoli l'anno (talvolta uscirono 3 fascicoli in un anno con l'ultimo numero doppio 3-4). In nostro possesso tutte le annate complete dal 1893 al 1924 con le seguenti eccezioni: mancano completamente gli anni 1902 e 1916; del 1911 mancano 3 numeri (presente il solo no 2 di giugno), del 1919 manca un numero, il 4o, presenti i primi 3. Moltissimi articoli di archeologia preistorica, geologia, speleologia, biologia, geografia, fisica, chimica, meteorologia, riguardanti in particolar modo la Liguria ma non solo. Fra gli autori i maggiori studiosi delle diverse discipline: Issel, Pellizzari, Rovereto, Negri, Cattaneo, Squinabol, Lessona, Morelli, Lupi, Carazzi, Sacco, Traverso, Celesia, Bozano, Parona, Setti.
In 4° (mm 297x208); pagg. LXX con vignetta calcografica al frontespizio, 4 grandi tavole a doppio foglio fuori testo incise in rame da Jacopo Leonardis, che firma in basso (raffiguranti 18 campioni di fossili la prima tavola, a destra; le altre raffigurano la val di Gavinello (una tavola disegnata e fermata da Antonio Biasini) e la valle del Bosco del Corso, disegnata dal "fedele pittore" Gaetano Scabari di Arzignano. Cartoncino coevo marmorizzato di tipo remondiniano. <BR>Fortis fu uno dei maggiori geologhi e studiosi della fine del XVIII secolo. Aveva fatto parte dell'Ordine degli Agostiniani, uscendone poi per divergenze, ma mantenendo la carica di abate. Scrisse numerosi importanti saggi a seguito di spedizioni scientifiche; ricordiamo Saggio d'osservazioni sopra l'isola di Cherso e Osero (Venezia 1771), Viaggio in Dalmazia (Venezia 1774) ed aprì un vivace dibattito tra intellettuali veneziani e dalmati sulla realtà sociale ed economica della Dalmazia. Pubblicò Articolo di lettera su alcuni fenomeni naturali delle montagne del Bergamasco e la Lettera orittografica al sig. ab. Girolamo Carli sull'Illirio e Carniola nel tomo I (1778) degli Opuscoli scelti di C. Amoretti. Il contributo scientifico più rilevante del periodo, che affiancato alle due opere di viaggio doveva assicurargli la cattedra padovana, fu la memoria Della valle vulcanico-marina di Roncà (Venezia 1778). In essa, polemizzando con le teorie vulcanologiche di Nicolas Desmarest, adottò l'ipotesi dello Strange circa l'origine del basalto colonnare da banchi di argilla marina fusi dal fuoco vulcanico e raffreddati lentamente. Bellissimo esemplare genuino a pieni margini con barbe, perfettamente conservato. La prima carta col frontespizio e la quarta sono stampate su un foglio leggermente più corto in basso e pare quindi che la carte sia strappata, mentre ciò è editoriale ed attribuibile alla stampa<BR>

In 4, cc. (4) + 37 + (7). Gora a 10 cc. interne. P. pg. coeva. Edizione originale poco comune di quest'opera dedicata ai fenomeni legati ai quattro elementi: fuoco, aere, acqua e terra. Poco si sofferma sui primi due, il fuoco viene diviso in due categorie: l'elemento puro, senza alcuna mistura, cagione dell'essere, l'altro e' cagione di corruzione. Grazie al fuoco si generano le piante, tempera la fredda influenza della luna ecc. Si sostiene poi che il fuoco celeste non consuma alcuna cosa mentre il nostro terrestre consuma la materia cui si appiglia, risolve le pietre in metalli, riduce l'arse pietre in calcina ecc. L'aere viene definito 'sottile ma d'una sottigliezza ottusa', l'aere col movimento si raffredda, non c'e' cosa che piu' riempa che l'aere il quale stando fermo si corrompe. Questo e' diviso in tre regioni: soprana, bassa e mezzana. Tratta poi delle generazione dei venti -.l'aura si genera dalle humide fumosita' che salgon dai fiumi o dalle valli .ma sormontando il sole si consuma e svanisce.-. L'acqua signoreggia a tutti gli altri elementi, dice Breventano, questa ha 3 proprieta': di stendersi, giova a figurar forme artificiali, ultimo fa feconda la terra mollificando la sua durezza. Spiega poi l'origine delle piogge con l'evaporazione dell'acqua del mare e che i pesci si nutrono di acqua ma mescolata con gli altri tre elementi. Tratta poi le acque termali spiegando la genesi con il passare su fene metallifere, solforose, nitrose ecc. e ognuna da' giovamento a parti diverse del corpo, profondendosi in molti esempi (Abano, Lucca, Acqui ma anche Chio, Ethiopia, Schiavonia ecc.). Vengono descritte, peraltro, le acque presenti nelle Valli Bergamasche e Bresciane che generano il gozzo (quio denominato gavacciolo). Dopo le fonti l'autore descrive i laghi citando il Maggiore come caratterizzato da grande pescosita' e pericolosita' per le tempeste, quello di Garda come popolato da carpioni che si nutrono di sabbie dorate. Cita il Po' che nasce dal Monte Vesulo e il Timavo che scorre sottoterra. Cita poi il fiume Imera in Sicilia, che si divide in 2 rami e uno e' di acqua salata e i casi in cui un teremoto puo' far nascere un fiume come farlo scomparire. Termina con l'acqua dei pozzi e con gli effetti delle varie acque sul corpo. L'ultimo elemento descritto e' la terra che Breventano divide anch'essa in 3 parti. La parte piu' pura dice trovarsi al centro -.grave, soda et immobile. se si potesse far un buco in essa che riuscisse dall'uno hemisferio all'altro et entro si gittasse un sasso, quando questo fusse arrivato al mezzo si fermerebbe.- Passa poi ad una descrizione geografica affermando la terra essere tutta abitata come dimostrato dalle esplorazioni delle Americhe, tratta dell'Africa ecc. La parte finale e' dedicata alla geologia, descrivendo le varie tipologie di roccie e gli effetti di queste sui terreni e sulle piante ma sopprattutto, i fenomeni vulcanici, come l'Etna, le Isole Eolie sulle quali si dilunga, e una quantita' di fenomeni vulcanici in Italia e altrove (Rieti, Pozzuoli ma anche la Frigia, Scozia ecc.). L'utima parte e' dedicata ai terremoti che egli sostiene essere generati dall'aria che cerca d'uscire dalle vene della terra e di questi descrive i vari effetti. Del Breventano e' nota un'opera rimasta manoscritta interamente dedicata ai terremoti e che nella sostanza non si discosta da quanto affermato in queste pagine. Bidello dell'Accademia degli Affidati in Pavia, e' noto per una storia di questa citta' e per altre opere di carattere scientifico.

Ex-library with typical markings; bindings are a trifle worn but sturdy; contents are a bit brittle with some closed tears to the folds of the maps a couple of maps have cleanly separated along those tears; occasional early tape repairs to a few leaves and a few maps. Rogers’s geological map is quite crisp and bright. Relatively well-preserved volumes from this landmark publication. <br /> <br /> An important periodical that ran from 1880 through Volume VI 1885 before being merged into the Industrial South. Jedediah Hotchkiss the editor and publisher is perhaps most remembered as the staff officer of Stonewall Jackson and employed his topographical and cartographical skills to the great benefit of Jackson during the Civil War. After the war Hotchkiss established himself in Staunton VA as a consulting engineer and geologist among other endeavors eventually editing and publishing this present periodical. Given the wealth of information related to natural resources it's easy to imagine that these efforts brought significant funding into the commonwealth at a time it was greatly needed. <br /> <br /> While there are contributions by most significant geologists of the day as well as maps and sections by Hotchkiss J. Peter Lesley James P. Kimball R. O. Currey John L. Campell and others. But certainly the most notable inclusions is William Barton Rogers’s 1841 geological map of Virginia. This first systematic geological survey of Virginia began in 1835 when Rogers a recognized expert was engaged by the Virginia General Assembly to undertake the task. The manuscript of the map was largely complete when funding for the project was cut off in 1841. This map languished for decades until a version of it Marcou 592 was published in Virginia: A Geographical and Political Summary. Hotchkiss a friend and colleague of Rogers further added to the map and issued it in Vol. I No. 6 of The Virginias 1880. Of this map E. M. Sanchez-Saavedra writes: "The geological map of Virginia is modest in appearance but it contains more information than first meets the eye. Its topography was based on the 1827 Boye nine-sheet map altered to emphasize natural drainage and erosion patterns. The large patches of color representing different formations were the result of Rogers's years in the field—digging climbing and analyzing rock strata." Finally noting that this color coding seems to have been of Roger's invention it would be employed to some degree in subsequent years by John Wesley Powell as he embarked on his ambitious undertaking to map the entirety of the country. This map remains an important piece of Virginia geologic and cartographic history. Sanchez-Saavedra A Description of the Country: Virginia's Cartographers and Their Maps 1607-1881. pp. 103-118.
