Overall very good ! Extremely scarce publication in first or second edition ! Regina Maria Roche 17641845 is gauged as a minor Gothic novelist who wrote in the shadow of the pioneering Ann Radcliffe. However she was a bestselling author in her own time. The popularity of her third novel The Children of the Abbey rivalled that of Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho. Born Regina Maria Dalton in Waterford Ireland in 1764. Her father was a Captain in the British 40th Regiment. Her family moved to Dublin and after her marriage to Ambrose Roche in 1794 she moved to England. Her first two novels were published under her maiden name before the success of The Children of the Abbey and Clermont. Both these were translated into French and Spanish and went through several editions. However after her fifth novel The Nocturnal Visit appeared in 1800 Roche suffered financial difficulties having fallen afoul of a duplicitous solicitor and she did not write again until 1807 when she received aid from the Royal Literary Fund. She then wrote 11 more novels most of them set in the rural Ireland but none matched her earlier successes. After her husband's death in 1829 she returned to Wexford. After bouts of depression she died in relative obscurity in the town of her birth at the age of 81. Roche's obituary in The Gentleman's Magazine remembers her as a "distinguished writer who had retired from the world and the world had forgotten her. But many young hearts now old must remember the effect upon them of her graceful and touching compositions." The Children of the Abbey a sentimental Gothic Romance was one of the period's most popular novels of the 1790s. Her book Clermont was Roche's only full attempt at writing a truly Gothic novel. It has a decidedly darker in tone than anything else she wrote. Both novels went through several editions and were translated into both French and Spanish. Clermont was one of the Northanger Horrid Novels satirized by Jane Austen in her novel Northanger Abbey. Wikipedia hardcover

1779K89BNAR73VU7Maastricht 1779. 8vo 22.5 x 13.5 cm. J.E. Dufour & P. Roux Contemporary decorated paper wrappers. 3 parts in 1 volume. 4 XXVII 1 232 pp. Very rare first edition printed in Maastricht of a mining manual by a French enlightened marquis who worked as chief librarian at the Hessen-Kassel court of Friedrich II 1720-1785. Although mentioned reference literature the book is very rare on the market and we found no copy in auction records. Luchet was an acquaintance of Voltaire and in fact had a letter of recommendation from him that helped him obtain his position at the Hessen-Kassel court. Luchet's other writings concerned literature and theatre which makes this mining manual a curious standout. It is unclear why this work was printed in Maastricht except that the Maastricht south Limburg region does have a long history of mining. In a lengthy discourse on mining in the preliminaries Luchet makes a strong pro-mining statement. This is followed by reflections on several aspects of mining often in a question and answer form. He goes into the medical consequences of mining and names several minerals and metals such as coal quartz lead tin gold silver copper and more.A second edition appeared in 1797 often bound with H.

This work is also considered a cornerstone book in any collection of photographic literature and photography's first fictional work see Roosens & Salu <em>History of Photography</em> No. 10421. <br /><br />Originally published in France in 1760 as <em>Giphantie</em> an anagram of the author's name this work is credited with one of the earliest mentions of photography in Chapter 17: "That window that vast horizon those thick clouds that raging sea are all but a picture. Thou knowest that the ways of light reflected from different bodies make a picture and paint the bodies upon all polished surfaces on the retina of the eye for instance on water on glass. The elementary spirits have studied to fix these transient images; they have composed a most subtile matter very viscous and proper to harden and dry by the help of which a picture is made in the twinkle of an eye. the impression of the images is made the first instant they are received on the canvas which is immediately carried away into some dark place; an hour after the subtile matter dries and you have a picture so much the more valuable as it cannot be imitated by art nor damaged by time" pages 95-96.<br /><br />Glenn Malkin began binding professionally in 2008 and has since won numerous awards for his design bindings in national and international competitions. Some foxing and other marking all pages uncut; bindings and solander very good. ESTC T99917; Gernsheim History of Photography p. 26. No jacket Robert Horsfield hardcover
17603006485Babylone" in fact Paris: n.p. 1760. Octavo with four engraved plates by Cochin after Desfriches illustrating the second work "Mon Odyssée ou le Journal de Mon Retour de Saintonge"; contemporary mottled calfspine gilt with red label. <p><p>First edition: a marvellous imaginary work describing an utopian community and prefiguring the uses of photography television and the telephone.</p> <p>Tiphaigne de la Roche 1729-1774 was a physician polymath and much-published writer. In Giphantie an anagram of the author's name the protagonist is lifted semi-conscious and transported by air to a beautiful garden where a charming spirit guide shows him around a 'vaguely utopian society' Lewis. The book is a good example of the imaginary voyage genre using a quite plausible African setting but is more renowned for the fantastical series of technical advances that are discussed in striking detail including everything from prototype televisions to telephones. The discussion of the way in which the ruling spirits of the land have learnt to 'fix' the fleeting images formed by light is so detailed that the novel is considered a milestone in the pre-history of photography. A relevant passage in the subsequent English edition of 1761 is often quoted: 'You know that the rays of light reflected from different bodies form a picture and paint the image reflected on all polished surfaces for instance on the retina of the eye on water and on glass. The elementary spirits have sought to fix these fleeting images.'.</p> <p>This copy is bound together with Pierre Honoré Robbe de Beauveset's rococo poem in four verses Mon Odyssée ou le Journal de Mon Retour de Saintonge La Haye 1760 illustrated with four engraved plates. De Beauveset was an influential French writer known for his satires and erotic works.</p> </p> . n.p. unknown
