It was favoured by Colbert, and prospered. In 1702, having been purchased by the government, it was placed under an editorial committee of persons eminent in various branches of learning." [OCFL] From the beginning, an edition was published in Amsterdam, appearing, as did the Paris edition, irregularly through 1674.It was supressed on March 30,1665 after 13 issues.

DEFOE, Daniel)
The Storm: or, a Collection of the most remarkable Casualties and Disasters which happen'd in the late dreadful Tempest, both by Sea and Land.
      Printed for G. Sawbridge in Little Britain, and sold by J. Nutt near Stationers-Hall. 1704 - [16], 272pp., folding table; 8vo. Paper rather browned throughout, some pages quite heavily, others with sl. 'tide-mark' from waterstain. Fresh contemp. e.ps. Most handsome contemp. sprinkled calf, dec. blind panels to both boards in lighter shade of calf with cat's paw mottling. Expertly rebacked to match, raised & blind ruled bands, red gilt morocco label. ESTC T70849; Furbank & Owens 59(P). An early example of a book hastily cobbled together to ‘cash in’ on a recent event, and the use of newspapers to promote it. The storm occurred on the night of the 26th November 1703, and was estimated to have killed 8,000. Earlier that month Defoe had been released from prison and, desperate for cash to pay creditors, he had the idea of writing a work to commemorate the storm and placed an advertisement in the London Gazette for December 6th, 1703 appealing for eye witness accounts, which eventually filled over two thirds of his book.

Benzoni went in 1541 as a soldier in the Spanish army at an age of 22 from Milan to the New World. He spent the next 15 years stationed at various posts throughout America. 'It is valuable as an early record of the establishment of Europeans in America written from a non-Spanish standpoint. The woodcuts are of particular interest: engraved from the author's own drawings, they illustrate the daily life of the Indians and some of the natural resources of the country' (Howgego p.107). He describes vividly the Spanish cruelties committed against the Indians. The second part contains the voyages of Amerigo Vespucci (1451-1512). The account of Hennepin called for on the title-page is not present, it was also issued separately. - ( Age-browned; upper outer corner occasionally waterstained).Tiele 88; Cat.

Qualche minimo segno d'uso alla cuffia superiore ed alle cerniere, ma bell'esemplare, in carta grande, particolarmente marginoso ed impresso su carta vergata. Seconda edizione, rara, di questa classica opera per la quale il severo Cicognara (3800) così s'esprime: ".prezioso libro, il migliore che abbiamo sulle Romane Antichità, depurato dalle contumelie, e inesattezze di una folla di scrittori che specularono su questo argomento.". Dalla p. 583 troviamo il: "Discorso d'Ottavio Falconieri intorno alla Piramide di C. Cestio et alle Pitture, che sono in essa con alcune annotazioni sopra un'iscrizione antica appartenente alla medesima. Lettera del medesimo al Signor Carlo Dati sopra l'iscrizione di un mattone.". Le ultime 24 pagine contengono inoltre: "Memorie di varie Antichità trovate in diversi luoghi della città di Roma. Scritte da Flaminio Vacca.". Cfr. anche Fossati-Bellani (I 394/5) che non cita il ritratto (forse non appartenente all'opera).

(After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, many church lands had been bought by laymen, who were charged with maintaining these parishes, but who often appointed laymen, ignorant about the Bible, to occupy parish positions.)

Front pastedown with old engraved armorial bookplate of James Norman and modern bookplate of H. Bradley Martin rear pastedown with early 20th century bookplate of William Marchbank. Lower cover with cracks and discoloring along a one-inch vertical strip (the result of rebacking) upper cover with slight darkening for same reason back cover with a number of scratches and abrasions one raised band with loss of leather but the binding absolutely sound and the elaborately gilt spine still quite pleasing. Frontispiece just a bit foxed and with minor horizontal crease one prefatory leaf wrinkled in bottom margin (with short tear) leaves with occasional faint foxing in margins a dozen instances of light marginal printer's smudges but all of the faults quite minor. A VERY FRESH BRIGHT AND CLEAN COPY INTERNALLY WITH VAST MARGINS. Pforzheimer 1101; Foxon, p. 907; Wither to Prior, 1085; Lowndes IV, 3005. Wycherley (1640?-1716) is best known for his plays four fine comedies that established a place for him among the three great practitioners of the Restoration comedy of manners (the others being Etherege and Congreve). The last of his comedies had been produced 30 years before the appearance of the present volume and Wycherley had in the meanwhile contracted a fever with permanent debilitating consequences. He had also spent seven years in prison for unpaid debts being released only when James II was seized by magnanimity after seeing an enjoyable performance of the playwright's The Plain Dealer. In any case the present book especially when in the Large Paper format seen here is a noble piece of work suitable for a literary celebrity and it contains what Pforzheimer says is one of the most famous of literary mezzotints a portrait that is often lacking. Mostly written a decade before publication generally ribald and without special merit these pieces did not cause a great stir in the literary world but they did attract the attention of the 16-year-old Alexander Pope who began a correspondence with Wycherley as a result. (According to DNB this correspondence was published afterward by Pope in a self-serving version elaborately altered so as to convey a sense of his own superiority as a lad over the older writer.) Our copy comes from the first state of the text which ends with the words The End of the First Volume an indication that a further volume was planned; most copies have these words obscured by a paste-over reading The End. The Bradley Martin copy of any book will always be distinguished as having been a part of a library chosen by one of the most discriminating of modern collectors.

Isaac Newton
OPTICKS: OR, A TREATISE OF THE REFLEXIONS, REFRACTIONS, INFLEXIONS AND COLOURS OF LIGHT. ALSO TWO TREATISES OF THE SPECIES AND MAGNITUDE OF CURVILINEAR FIGURES.
      London: Printed for Sa,. Smith and Benj. Walford 1704 - 4to, rebound in period style 3/4 calf with raised bands and red morocco label. Lacks half title as usual, title printed in red and black with several small stamps of the Inner Temple Library at lower margin and on several other leaves. Scattered foxing. Next to the PRINCIPIA, this FIRST EDITION of OTICKS stands as Newton's greatest work. Much of the OPTICKS was written thirty years earlier and finally put into print in 1704, just a few months after Newton assumed the chair as President of the Royal Society. It summarized his discoveries and theories concerning light and color, the spectrum of sunlight, the degrees of refraction associated with different colors, the color circle (where red and violet at the extreme ends of the straight spectrum are linked and twisted into a circle), the invention of the relecting telescope, the first workable theory of the rainbow, and experiments on what later would be called interference effects in conjunction with Newton's rings. It expounds his corpuscular or emission theory of light. At the end of the book as appendices are two mathematical treatises in Latin, DE QUADRATURA and ENUMERATIO LINEARUM TERTII ORDINIS, which Newton specifically added to establish his priority over Leibniz in the invention of the calculus.

MOUCHY (Daniel Dominique, Sieur de la
Le crétien solitaire ou autrement dit les pouesies de Daniel de Mouchy, contenant six cantiques, plusieurs baux vers crétiens, et d’autres très curieux sur diferans sujets, etc.
      A Berlin Jean Wessel 1704 - fort volume in-12 broché, couverture grise muette, entièrement non rogné. (État de parution) Frontispice, titre (avec au verso le portrait de Sophie-Charlotte, reine de Prusse), 16 ff. non chiffrés, 201 pp., 3 pp. de table - Suivi d’un frontispice, d’un nouveau titre : Traité de l’Image du Monde en abrégé, Berlin Dusarret, 1703 ; 6 ff. n. ch., 30 pp., titre, 192 pp., 1 f. errata. ÉDITION ORIGINALE et sans doute UNIQUE, des oeuvres de Daniel Dominique de Mouchy, totalement inconnu des biographes et bibliographes français et qu’il faut, sans hésiter, cataloguer parmi les hétéroclites, voire les fous littéraires. L’orthographe et la grammaire lui sont totalement étrangères. Ses citations latines sont abérrantes. Même la typographie de ce recueil est hétéroclite. Les caractères d’imprimerie varient de style et de corps d’un poème à l’autre. Quant aux poèmes, il nous suffira d’en donner quelques échantillons : "Si nous voulons prevenirAla rude mort mortelleIl faut toujours Dieu bénirPrier sa grâce éternelle"ou encore :"Mais si la maline troupeSe met touteSous l’étendard malheureuxEt se bande je peu dire Que l’EmpireEn sera ruiné par eux."Monsieur de Mouchy veut réformer l’orthographe. Il s’en explique dans 4 pages au début du volume. Il veut qu’on écrive comme on parle, en supprimant les lettres que ne se prononcent pas, etc. Les poèmes des pp. 100-170 sont rédigés dans cette orthographe. Quant à son talent lyrique, sans doute n’est-il point dupe lorsqu’il avoue avec candeur dans son avis au lecteur : "qu’on trouvera beaucoup plus de négligeance dans le corp du livre depuis l’a page 1 et seconde jusques a la page 81, que dans tout le reste de l’ouvrage, d’autant que je n’étais pas vercê dans la poésie comme je le suis presentemant, comme on poura voir dans toute la suite, il me semble que du depuis la mort de SUPINA (p. 82) jusques a la fin, les vers en sont beaucoup meilleurs."Avant de conclure que sans doute "les critiques incomodes ni trouveront aucun charmes, mais jespère que les autres ni trouveront point de dégouts, çeux qui aimeront les choses qui y sont dites suporteront la manière dont elles y sont dites, et se qui pénetrera le coeur, ne blessera point les oreilles, on sait for bien q’homère, virgile, ciçeron et plusieurs autres excellans pouètes de l’antiquité n’ont point étez parfaits tout d’un coup."La 2e partie du volume, le Traité de l’image du monde est une septimanie en prose, où il raconte en charabias rococo la création du Monde, avec des descriptions scientifiques d’animaux, plantes, etc. volées sans doute dans d’anciens recueils.La préface de son libraire est curieuse : "Voici un Autheur nouveau, qui paroit sur les rangs et qui veut tâter le goût du public par ce premier Essai (.) Le nom de De Mouchy excitera la curiosité de ceux qui ont quelque connoissance des Familles illustres de France ; Ils voudront savoir si notre Autheur descend de cette ancienne et noble Famille qui se conserve encore aujourd’huy dans l’éclat, mais comme je n’ay point d’ordre de satisfaire la Curiosité du public là-dessus, et que j’aprehende de blesser la modestie de l’Autheur. Il me suffira presentement de dirre que son Nom m’est une Enigme et un mistère que l’on pourra dévoiler dans la suite."On ne saura rien de plus sur l’identité de ce vrai ou faux Mouchy. Par ses vers on apprend qu’il est jeune et que sa jeunesse est craintife. Craintif peut être, mais déjà vaniteux. On dit que les imbéciles inscrivent leur nom partout. Celui-ci en a parsemé son livre, y compris dans des poèmes acrostiches. Page 47 on trouve son portrait gravé avec une devise en mauvais latin : in manibus Domini sortes mei. Dans un poème au sujet de son portrait, il affirme que celui-ci prouve que Dieu l’a formé à son image. De nombreux poèmes, signés d’initiales de prétendus amis de l’auteur (mais visiblement rédigés par lui-même) célèbrent les talents du cher De Mouchy, sa gloire et ses "immortels écrits". Le solitaire chrétien n’était donc point exempt de vanité [Attributes: Hard Cover]
