Quelques rousseurs éparses. Le chantier colossal du pont ferroviaire sur le Rhin va démarrer en 1858. D’une longueur totale de 253 mètres, sa partie centrale, reposant sur quatre piles, mesurera 177 mètres et sera complétée d’un pont tournant sur chaque rive. La partie française, confiée aux Chemins de Fer de l’Est, s’occupera des piles. Cet élément fondamental est conçu par les ingénieurs Émile Vuignier et Édouard Fleur Saint-Denis. La superstructure du nouveau pont du Rhin est le domaine de la partie badoise. L’ouvrage put être inauguré en grande pompe le 6 avril 1861, en présence de Napoléon III et du Grossherzog Friedrich Ier. Mais chacun de son côté du fleuve…Dès la déclaration de guerre de Napoléon III, les Badois démontèrent leur moitié du pont de bateaux, bientôt imités par les Français.

1819016014London & Norwich: John Harding; Wilkin & Youngman 1819. First and only edition illustrated with six engraved plates drawn by the author slim octavo pp xx 100 a little foxing marking and age-toning but overall very sound internally original boards a later but still early cloth spine unlettered the binding again slightly worn but sound. With the book label of the physician and botanist Thomas Bell Salter. Of the utmost rarity. At the age of 19 Lindley was taken under the wing of William Jackson Hooker who at that time was still living in Halesworth before his move the following year to Glasgow. Lindley was impressed with a book he found in Hooker's extensive botanical library - Richard's "Demonstrations botaniques ou Analyse du Fruit considere en general" of 1808. He translated the work into English working for three days non-stop. When published it included six plates from Lindley's original drawings. The title page claims it includes the author's latest corrections and Stearn points out that the preface rejects Linnaeus' system of classification in favour of the the natural orders of Jussieu. This is the first book and the first published illustrations of the "father of modern orchidology" - one of the most importand and dominant figures of Victorian botany. First Edition. Boards. Good.
