MAURICEAU, Francois
Traité des maladies des femmes grosses et de celles qui sont accouchées
|
Paris: Chez l’Auteur, 1681. Most complete edition of the work that established obstetrics as a separate science. For more than seventy years and through numerous translations and editions, Traité des maladies des femmes grosses contributed to the spread of good obstetric practice throughout Europe. “This book was without question the most practical, explicit and accurate of the then known treatises on mid-wifery” – Cutter & Viets 51. Mauriceau “was the first to write on tubal pregnancy, epidemic puerperal fever, and the complications that arise in labor from misplacement of the umbilical cord...” – Notable Medical Books from the Lilly Library, p. 85. The work first appeared in 1668 and again in 1675. This third edition is the first to contain Mauriceau's instructions for extracting the aftercoming head in breech delivery by placing an index finger in the infant's mouth, hereafter known as the “Mauriceau maneuver.” It is also the edition from which most translations were made. Mauriceau (1637-1709) is considered the father scientific obstetrics and “the leading representative of the obstetric knowledge of his time.” – Garrison, History of Medicine, p. 277. * Krivatsy 7590.. 4to., frontispiece portrait, (8) ff., 515, (21) pp., with many copper engravings, several full-page, showing birth figures and obstetric instruments. Bound in contemporary calf with gilt spine and raised bands, restored at head and foot of spine; several ownership inscriptions on title page; some light, marginal damp marks, an occasional minor stain; generally good.

Penn, William:
SOME ACCOUNT OF THE PROVINCE OF PENNSILVANIA IN AMERICA; LATELY GRANTED UNDER THE GREAT SEAL OF ENGLAND TO WILLIAM PENN, &c.
|
London: Benjamin Clark, 1681. - [2],10pp. Folio. Blue crushed morocco by Riviere & Son, title in gilt on spine and front board, gilt inner dentelles, a.e.g. Scratch on front cover, two bookplates on front pastedown. Expert restoration to the title- leaf with a few letters supplied; minor soiling. A few text leaves skillfully repaired. Very good. The primary tract in the foundation of Pennsylvania, and a bedrock piece of Americana. On March 4, 1681, to resolve the Crown's debt to the Penn family, Charles II granted the vast area west and south of New Jersey to William Penn, and Penn immediately began laying the foundations for his new colony. This included contact with numerous leading Quakers in England and Wales, the appointment of several agents, and, most importantly, the publication of this promotional tract "to describe the new colony and the opportunities that were available to persons wishing to settle there or invest in the venture.[It] is the basic pamphlet" - Bronner & Fraser. The successful settlement of Penn's new charter was due principally to William Penn's marketing of the region, beginning with this work. "Penn's advertising campaign for his new colony in the early 1680s was the most successful English colonial recruitment drive since the Puritans had founded Massachusetts fifty years before.and provided the necessary momentum that got the Quaker colony off to a successful start" - Dunn. The work is quite rare on the market. This copy is Bronner & Fraser's second state of the first edition, with the "Fifty Acres shall be allowed" reading at the bottom of page 5. With a distinguished provenance, this was originally bound by Americana bookseller Charles Heartman, later sold to Frank C. Deering, and then sold with other Deering books about 1970 by Kenneth Nebenzahl. EUROPEAN AMERICANA 681/113. BRONNER & FRASER 58b. CHURCH 671.

[American law]
Recopilacion de leyes de los reynos de las Indias. Mandadas imprimir, y publicar por la Magestad Catolica del rey Don Carlos II
|
First edition of the first complete digest of American-addressed laws, in use for 300 years, foundation of American legal system. 1681. Madrid. Julian de Paredes. Four volumes in folio (285 mm x 203 mm). 6 ff. + 300; 3 ff. + 299; 3 ff. + 302; 2 ff. + 365. Later elegant half calf, marbled boards, spines flat tooled in gilt with black lettering pieces, with a few small worm holes here and there, edges stained red, generally very good. Scattered foxing spots, mainly marginal worm holes to a few leaves here and there, first title with mostly marginal dampstaining, overall a very fresh and clean copy. First official and complete edition; the work is of the outmost importance, it contains the collected laws of the Spanish American colonies, originally compiled by Antonio de León Pinelo (1590 ? 1660). Pinelo, besides being a remarkable historian & writer, is considered the first bibliographer of the Americas. Spanish government over the Americas was done through a complex system of ?cedulas?, ordinances and decrees; although simplicity might have been maintained at the beginning, the proliferation of new laws rendered the legislation obsolete. Thus, in 1622, the preparation of a new collection in digest form was undertaken by Pinelo and Rodrigo de Aguiar. The project took, first both and then only Pinelo, over 10 years; around 1635 it was finished, a decree ordering its printing was not issued until 1681, after revisions and actualizations were made, mostly by Jimenez Paniagua. The work contains the Spanish position on American printing houses, slavery, Indians ?considerable references-, inheritance, administration of justice, administration, regional laws and special considerations for certain communities, amongst hundreds of subjects. The laws issued in the first 150 years remained in use until at least the 19th century and in some cases until the 20th century; in any event, the legal systems of most young already-independent Republics in the Americas were based on Hispanic legislation, so in reality its spirit remained even after they became independent. A very rare work, we find only one copy sold at auction in 30 years. Provenance: Jose Santos Lira, ex libirs in front pastedown; titles with stamp of J. Pablo Arancibia, Santiago-Chile-1906. Palau, 252516. Sabin, 68386. Alden and Landis, 681/135.

Small stamp of Solicitor’s Supreme Courts Library to title and a few leaves, a few early pencil pointing hands in margins, ownership inscription of Adam Bagshaw dated 1793(?) to title. The ESTC differs from Wing in listing a separate 1671 edition on the evidence of one imperfect copy showing a different imprint; assuming that imprint is correct, this would be the second edition. The “last major production” of the antiquary Sir William Dugdale (1605-1686), “it is useful for its copiousness and the precision of its dates” (ODNB). Included as an appendix with its own divisional title page is a short work on “the Treaty for a Peace, Begun at Uxbridge, January 30. 1644,” which is a reprint of a pamphlet originally published in 1645. After the index is a 5-page “Catalogue of Books Printed at the Theater in Oxford” for the year 1681. ESTC R18097. Wing D 2492. Lowndes 692. Brunet II 868. Graesse II 443.

Lucani, M. Annaei [Lucan or Lucanus] ; commentary by Hugo Grotius and Thomas Farnaby
Pharsalia. Sive De Bello Civili Casaris et Pompeii [translated: On the Civil War Between Caesar and Pompey] Libri X Additae sunt in fine Hugonis Grotii Notae ex binis antehac editis junctae auctae correctae et Thomae Farnabii in margine, etc.
|
Amsterdam: Apud Janssonio Waesbergios , 1681. Full Calf Very Good 330, [6] pp. 12mo, with copper engraved title page by Giovanni Van Den Avele. Pharsalia is considered a masterpiece, and possibly the masterpiece, of the Silver Age of Ancient Roman poetry. The epic poem concerns the Roman Civil War at the time of Caesar and most particularly the extended struggle between Caesar and Pompey the Great. Lucanus, writing a century later, during the reign of Nero, far from glamorizing the warfare, took a jaundiced view of the fraticidal battle, and his portrait of both Caesar and Pompey was far from flattering. His "epic poem", therefore, is epic in terms of length, scope and ambition, not in its portrayal of the principals. Because of the subject matter, the popularity of "Pharsalia" has crested at times when a society, still steeped in the Classical canon of literature, descended into civil strife, when the themes and point-of-view of Lucanus really resonated. Never was this more the case than in the seventeenth century, when this copy was printed. First there was the final emergence of the Netherlands from under the yoke of Habsburg rule, and then there was the English Civil War, just to mention two instances both highly germane to the edition at hand. Thus the notes by Grotius and Modern calf with a black spine label and marbled endpapers. The work is incomplete and breaks off during the tenth book which Lucanus was still working on when he was forced to commit suicide. The binding is tight. Some leaves with more toning than others but overall quite clean. There are leaves in which the margins are parlously tight or the header is even close to being partially cut-off -- this is the upshot of the compact size of the copy and was the way the copy was issued over three centuries ago. This particular edition is not mentioned in Brunet. Very Good

HOBBES, Thomas.
The Art of Rhetoric with a Discourse of the Laws of England.
|
William Crooke, London 1681 - 1 blank leaf + 1 leaf with frontispiece portrait on verso + TP + [i]-[iv] = The Preface + 1-134 = The Whole Art of Rhetorick + [135] = second TP (The Art of Rhetorick Plainly set forth; with Pertinent Examples for the more easie understanding and Practice of the same) + 137-168 + 1-208 = A Dialogue Between a Phylosopher and a Student of The Common-Laws of England + 1 blank leaf; Octavo. First Edition. MacDonald & Hargreaves 13. According to MacDonald & Hargreaves, "A Dialogue between a Phylosopher and a Student is published here for the first time." (p. 9) The exact nature of the Rhetorick is less clear since Hobbes had published similar works (see MacDonald & Hargreaves 12 & 12a) in 1637 and 1651, but the Preface (see below) clearly indicates that this Rhetorick contains new materials. Two works published posthumously - two years after Hobbes' death. According to the Preface, these works are "now Publish'd from his own true Copies, an advantage which some of his works have wanted."The first of them [The Whole Art of Rhetorick], being an abridgement containing the most useful part of Aristotle's Rhetoric, was written some thirty years since To this he thought fit to add some small matter relating to that part which concern's Tropes and Figures; as also a short discovery of some little tricks of false and deceitful Reasoning." "The other piece is a Discourse concerning the Laws of England, and has been finish'd many years. Herein he has endeavor'd to accommodate the general notions of his Politic to the particular constitutions of the English Monarchy." Regarding the Discourse of the Laws of England, the Encyclopedia of Philosophy notes: "Even at this advanced age Hobbes was still capable of exerting himself both physically (he played tennis until he was 75) and philosophically. John Aubrey, later his biographer, sent him Bacon's Elements of Common Law for his comments; and Hobbes, after protesting his age, managed to produce his unfinished Dialogue between a Philosopher and a Student of the Common Laws of England (published posthumously in 1681). This minor work was interesting in that Hobbes anticipated in it the analytical school of jurisprudence of the nineteenth century and came out unequivocally in favor of what has been called the command theory of law." (EP, Volume 4, p. 32) Contemporary paneled calf, sympathetically and handsomely rebacked with five raised bands and gilt lettering on a red field. Covers with the expected and appropriate amount of wear. New endpapers. With a later 1908) to front free endpaper which had been slightly trimmed along the top edge. Page 13 (B7) has been trashed and torn but repaired with just minor impact on the text. Overall, a very handsome and presentable copy of this book. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

One of Dryden's patrons, represented as Hushai in Dryden's 1681 poem "Absalom and Achitophel" ("Hushai the friend of David in distress, in publick storms of manly stedfastness; By Foreign Treaties he inform'd his Youth; And join'd Experience to his Native Truth. Frugal for that, but bounteous of his own: 'Tis easie Conduct when Exchequers flow; But hard the task to manage well the low...."); first Earl of Rochester; as first Lord of the Treasury, was forced to participate in negotiating Charles II's treaty with Louis XIV; Lord President of the Council; Lord High Treasurer; viceroy of Ireland. ADS, 1p, 8½" X 7", n.p. [London], 1680 August 2. Addressed "To our very Loving Sir Robt" [Howard]. Very good. Minor chipping at edges. Howard (1626-98) was an English dramatist, auditor of exchequer at the time of this document, and another of Dryden's patrons (as well as his brother-in-law). Requests payment of 455 pounds to Henry Sidney for "three months or ninety one dayes of his ordinary entertainmt." (Sidney, 1641-1704, was envoy to The Hague at the time.)

London George Sawbridge 1681 - 8vo. 175 x 115 mm. pp.[14], 285,(19). Rebound in calf with new endpapers. A very good, clean, copy of this classic book. In 1653, Culpeper again trespassed on the monopoly claimed by the recognized medical writers when he published this work. It had enormous success and continued to be issued until the mid-nineteenth century. The 369 herbs are entered in alphabetical order and each entry gives a description of the plant, where it may be found, the best time for its harvesting, and a discussion of its medical uses and astrological implications. Heirs of Hippocrates 507. ESTC 006096339.
