1693019562The Princes Arms in St. Paul's Churchyard: Sam Smith 1693. Second edition. With four engraved plates small octavo t.p. 201326 133-406 2-page publisher's catalogue browning and age-toning with occasional blotching a corner torn from the first blank a worm-hole in the margin of the early pages but only really noticeable on the first eleven pages tight internally original calf rubbed and pocked neatly re-backed with new unlettered leather spine the original endpapers retained. In Rays time understanding of creation was governed by the account in the Bible. It was thought that the earth dated from about 5000BC and that fossils were formed in nature as imitations of shells fish or other creatures but were not a genuine creature. Rays observations of the changing coastlines around Britain and his fossil excavations led him to question both of these. He published his work on Fossils in his Miscellaneous Discourses 1692. The work quickly sold out and a considerably enlarged second edition with a new title was published the next year which is the copy we offer here . In particular he put forward that fossils were the remains of creatures that were now extinct going against the commonly held view that all creatures that God created at the beginning still existed.

Six volumes small octavo pp 588; 600 15; 584 10 uncut a few pages unopened a little age-toning and marking one gathering 347-350 in Volume IV detached and gatherings towards the rear of the volume becoming a bit weak and loose Volume VI has extra bis pages 343 - 354; very well illustrated with 197 engraved or wood engraved plates of which 31 are folding and 50 coloured plates of which 2 are folding and 1 folding table; bound in the original pink boards a bit worn chipped and marked original printed paper labels on the spines the upper cover of Volume V detached otherwise firm and tight a neat signature on each front endpaper. Apparently lacking one plate in Volume 1 Relative Sizes of the Planets though there is no sign of this ever having been bound in. There are several extra plates to those listed and our copy would seem to agree with the set at auction at Christie's in 2006 which contained 246 of 248 plates. A work of considerable charm and interest and despite some faults as mentioned a remarkable set in original unsophisticated state. Simeon Ackroyd Shaw 1785 - 1859 was a 19th-century English scientific writer industrial historian and teacher. He spent his working life in the Staffordshire Potteries now the city of Stoke-on-Trent England. Shaw originated in Lancashire and as a young man he arrived in the Potteries to work on the Potteries Gazette and Newcastle-under-Lyme Advertiser newspaper. After some 20 years of newspaper and printing work living in Wolstanton he then went into teaching. He ran several teaching academies in the district. His first book was this 6-volume work which was based on his obviously very comprehensive series of popular short lectures on everything from natural species to meteorites. First Edition. Boards.

Quaderno manoscritto a penna e matita in 8, pp. (30) in parte scritte e in parte bb. con gora centrale non deturpante. Indicazione ms. all'ultima p.: quaderno delle sue casse porto Dseato (sic). Importante e raro autografo di questo Capitano ed esploratore al servizio del governo argentino. Di origini chiavaresi, dopo aver viaggiato al comando di un brigantino per i mari dell'estremo oriente, fu al servizio tra il 1875 e il 1885 del governo argentino nell'attivita' dell'eslporazione e dello sfruttamento delle sue terre australi. Nel 1883, su sua proposta, venne organizzata una missione esplorativa nell'area di Porto Deseado che duro' tra l'11 aprile e il 14 novembre. In questo periodo vennero effettuate tutte le misurazioni e i rilievi finalizzati allo stabilimento di una colonia, fatto che avvenne l'anno successivo. Questo importantissimo brogliaccio risale proprio agli ultimi giorni di questa missione, come testimoniano le date apposte a margine delle 4 liste dei materiali caricati alla volta di Buenos Aires sul piroscafo Bahia Blanca comandato dal Capitano Ferro (11, 12, 13 e 14 novembre 1883). Di grande interesse l'esame delle liste dei materiali, che vanno da materiale geodeico e da rilevamento a tende, letti e coperte, tende, arnesi da lavoro ecc. Le pagine iniziali, dedicate ad una sommaria descrizione della localita', riflettono quanto pubblicato nella relazione a stampa edita nel 1884 e qui acclusa. Nel manoscritto poi, compaiono ampie annotazioni a matita di altra mano e che potrebbero attribuirdi a tal Luis Marzano, uomo al servizio dello stesso Oneto. Occore anche annotare che Antonio Oneto si reco' l'anno successivo, con 24 famiglie di coloni, al fine di fondare la citta'. La raggiunse il 15 luglio 1884 ma il 21 giugno 1885 mori' senza veder completata la sua opera. Attualmente, ogni 15 luglio, la citta' rende omaggio alla memoria dell'Oneto con cortei alla sua tomba ed al suo monumento. C.

Rarissima carta dell’isola, datata il lastra 1570. Rappresentata circondata dalla flotta di navi della Repubblica di Venezia la carta è orientata con il Sud in alto. Carta anonima e priva di dati editoriali, che segue nella morfologia la carta del monogrammista PS e tutte le sue derivazioni. L’aspetto interessante che mostra questa carta, è dovuto al contesto storico; l’isola è rappresentata con la flotta veneziana chierata a difesa contro gli assalti dei turchi. L’opera, datata al 1570, viene attribuita a Nicolò Nelli per evidenti ragioni stilistiche e per le analoghe carte su Cipro e Creta, che recano la sua firma. La mappa si trova inserita in alcune raccolte cinquecentesche, e viene di seguito pubblicata nel Isole che son da Venetia nella Dalmatia et per tutto l’arcipelago fino a Costantinopoli, edito da Simone Pinargenti a Venezia nel 1573. L’opera fu realizzata in stretta concorrenza con l’analoga raccolta del Camocio Isole Famose, e raccoglie carte incise da Nicolò Nelli, Natale Bonifacio e dal Pinargenti stesso. I pochi esemplari noti della raccolta sono spesso diversi tra loro, e contengono un numero variabile di carte. Magnifico esemplare, in straordinario stato conservativo. This very-rare loose-sheet map of Corfu carries at the lower right hand corner the date of the publication, 1570. Like the larger maps of The IATO these smaller ones were first issued for a loose sheet circulation, and then assembled in booklet form for interested customer. The island is shown surrounded by an armada of Venetian war ships. The map is oriented with south at the top and its shape is based on the Ferrando Bertelli map of Kerkyra (1564). Sometimes the map appear in the rare collection by Simone Pinargenti “Isole che son da Venetia nella Dalmatia et per tutto l’arcipelago fino a Costantinopoli” (1573). Nicolò Nelli (1530 ca – 1573) was venetian engraver of maps, portraits, religious subject and prints. He also traded in prints and published the works of Giovanni Battista Fontana and Giorgio Ghisi and had a business relationship with Bertelli en Zaltieri. Copperplate, with full margins, very good condition. Very rare. Tavernari (2014): n. 65; Zacharakis (1992): n. 1756; Zacharakis (2009): n. 2692.
Carta geografica dell’isola di Creta firmata e datata in lastra dal Nelli. La carta dell’isola di Creta di Nicolò Nelli è basata sul modello di Zorzi/Pagano del 1538. Differisce per l’orientazione, qui con l’est in alto come in molte altre carte veneziane del periodo. L’isola è rappresentata con la flotta veneziana chierata a difesa contro gli assalti dei turchi. La carta venne in seguito inserita nel Isole che son da Venetia nella Dalmatia et per tutto l’arcipelago fino a Costantinopoli, edito da Simone Pinargenti a Venezia nel 1573. L’opera fu realizzata in stretta concorrenza con l’analoga raccolta del Camocio Isole Famose, e raccoglie carte incise da Nicolò Nelli, Natale Bonifacio e dal Pinargenti stesso. I pochi esemplari noti della raccolta sono spesso diversi tra loro, e contengono un numero variabile di carte. Bellissima prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva con filigrana “sirena in uno scudo con stella”, in perfetto stato di conservazione.

185034546Washington Dc:: Government Printing Office. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1850. First Edition. Flexible cloth. B/w/red; Oblong folio; 65 pages; 14.5" x 11". Front end paper with creases first three leaves with quite light and minor foxing. 100 partly color numerals maps 11 folding maps/charts all collated.

Sabin 22917. The author of this work James Pollard Espy nicknamed "The Storm King" for his classic book The Philosophy of Storms was the first Meteorologist of the US Government pioneering in the use of the telegraph to assemble weather observation data. Espy designed the first American weather map for a private scientific institute in 1838 before he moved to Washington. His first official meteorological report was published in 1843 but apparently included no maps. So the 100 "Charts" in this second report represent the first weather maps published by the US Government. . Government Printing Office hardcover
