170532355à Amsterdam: Chez Estienne Rogier 1705. Fine. Chez Estienne Rogier à Amsterdam 1705 8 x 15 cm relié Second edition rare after the first edition published in 1698 by Barbin. Contemporary full brown sheep binding. Decorated spine with raised bands. Head worn. Rubbing. Foxing. The work belongs to no defined genre; in a very free manner a Siamese tells anecdotes which he mixes with maxims on various subjects: The palace the court the public the Bois de Boulogne the opera. These satirical considerations of Parisian society pell-mell do not possess a continuous narrative; the work would pave the way for Montesquieu's Persian Letters. It is one of its principal sources.

1711ST20182London: W. Lewis 1711. FIRST EDITION First Issue. 280 x 152 mm. 8 1/8 x 6". 1 p.l. 43 1 pp. <br/> VERY PRETTY DARK GREEN CRUSHED MOROCCO ELABORATELY GILT IN PERIOD STYLE BY RIVIERE & SON stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with double frames formed of floral sprigs drawer handles and other small tools the frames enclosing an elegant central wreath; raised bands spine panels densely gilt with stippling floral tools radiating from small central flower gilt lettering turn-ins densely gilt with scrolling foliate tools all edges gilt. With an attractive woodcut headpiece and tailpiece; one foliated woodcut initial. Front pastedown with the bookplate of Winston Henry Hagen and book label of William A. Strutz. Griffith 2; Rothschild 1564; Foxon P806; Day "History of English Literature 1600-1837" pp. 73-4. Sheets uniformly a little toned because carefully washed the usual offsetting on facing flyleaves from turn-ins but a very pleasing copy--the text without signs of use and the exceptionally pretty binding lustrous and virtually unworn.<br/> <br/> This first printing of Alexander Pope’s first independent publication called by Day "one of the most quoted poems in English" offers a sumptuous binding in the style of the period retains its scarce original half-title and boasts an impressive provenance. Pope 1688-1744 composed "An Essay on Criticism" early in his career possibly when he was just 18. In this poem which introduced several expressions now common in the lexicon including "to err is human; to forgive divine" and "fools rush in where angels fear to tread" Pope provides his philosophy on what makes good criticism and by extension good poetry. Of it Day writes: "no one can claim originality for the content of 'Essay on Criticism' but all must admit the incomparable mastery of verse and language." This copy retains the half-title which is often missing primarily because it was often used as part of the volume's wrappers. Our copy does lack the final leaf of ads as almost always with copies of this edition. The strikingly attractive binding done in an elaborately gilt style reminiscent of a Roger Payne design is the work of Riviere one of the foremost names among English binderies. Our copy has belonged to two notable collectors. According to Dickinson Hagen 1859-1918 was a collector whose library especially strong in English literature "reflected a highly developed intelligent connoisseurship." Beverly Chew wrote in the foreword to the catalogue for the Hagen sale at Anderson Galleries 13 May 1918 that the library which featured high spots bought at the Lefferts and Poor sales "was one of the best ever submitted to the public at auction." William A. Strutz 1934-2024 was a North Dakota attorney and passionate bibliophile who assembled a library of over 15000 rare and important literary works. Our first printing of "Essay on Criticism" is not easy to find in the attractive condition seen here. W. Lewis unknown

1794ABC_47826Paraguay and/or Brazil 1794. 34 x 22 cm. Stitched through 2 single holes only one remains intact. Written in brown ink in a very legible late 18th-century cursive. 1 1 blank 12 2 blank pp. A contemporary unpublished and unrecorded Portuguese manuscript describing the Paraguay River and the lands rivers and territories adjoining including the location of former Jesuit Missions. It is written within the context of the Portuguese-Spanish dispute over the frontier between Portuguese Brazil and the Spanish colonies and focuses in particular on the upper reaches of the river which at that time still remained relatively unknown. The Portuguese under the governorship of Luis de Albuquerque 1739-97 had recently in 1778 established the towns of Albuquerque today Corumbá Laredo Villa María today Cáceres Casalvasco and Salinas. These new establishments and their locations on the Paraguay River are mentioned here. The terms of the 1777 Treaty of San Ildefonso between Portugal and Spain directed that a Portuguese-Spanish delegation be sent to the Paraguay River region to determine a definitive border between the territories. The Spanish delegation arrived in 1781 under the command of the military officer and naturalist Félix Manuel de Azara 1746-1821 and waited in Asunción in Paraguay for the Portuguese. The latter in the end never arrived but the Spanish delegation remained in the region until the 1790s Azara until 1801 exploring and measuring the region as well as handling the ongoing disagreements with the Portuguese over the demarcation. This Portuguese description of the River Paraguay is undoubtedly connected to these ventures though whether it is a contemporary translation into Portuguese of a Spanish survey or a survey of the river carried out by the Portuguese themselves is uncertain. It is however the only known copy of an unpublished description of the River Paraguay and it describes in detail the little-known upper regions of the Paraguay River.With a crossed-out annotation on the title-page the title-page and the last blank leaf are somewhat water stained. The paper is otherwise uniformly toned and showing some occasional foxing the edges of the leaves are somewhat frayed slightly affecting the text at the head of each page. Overall in good condition. unknown

Clean faint marginal brownspots. <br/><br/><em>The contemt of this volume which is volume II of Gerhard F. Müller's. "Voyages et Découvertes faites par les Russes le long des Côtes de la Mer glaciale & sur l'Océan oriental. is wholly devoted to the description of the Amur River and its borderlines as extracted and translated from Nicolaus Witsen's work "Sur la Tartarie Septentrionale & Orientale" Noord en Oost Tartarye Ofte Bondig Ontwerp Van eenig dier Landen en Volken. Amsterdam 1692."In the nineteenth century Russian historians and ethnographers discovered that Witsen had used many Russian sources that had since been lost and they praised Noord en Oost Tartarye ‘as the most remarkable book about Asiatic Russia ever written by a foreigner.’ During the Soviet period Witsen was seen as scholar who had ‘opened up a new era in the study of Siberia.’ Nowadays he is respectfully mentioned on many local Russian websites as the first to have reported on their town province nationality or language."huygens.knaw.n. </em> unknown
1767119925London: John Nourse and Desaint Paris 1767. Praised by Adam Smith - the second of Schumpeter's physiocrat textbooks First edition by "the ablest expositor of this i.e. Physiocratic system" McCulloch written following Le Mercier's retirement from Parliament in 1759. Praised by Adam Smith and Diderot amongst others L'Ordre naturel was according to Palgrave considered more highly than De l'Esprit des loix by some of Le Mercier's contemporaries. The author argues that there is a natural law of property which is based on the physical order of nature and which underlies all other laws. Taxation and the use of public revenue by the ruler are both governed by the natural law of property. Schumpeter lists this work as the second textbook of Physiocrat orthodoxy the first being Mirabeau's Philosophie rurale. Quarto 255 x 195 mm. Contemporary French mottled calf triple-rule border in blind to covers spine ruled and decorated gilt in compartments red morocco label marbled endpapers red edges green silk ribbon marker.
