TUCIDIDE
L' HISTOIRE DE THUCYDIDE DE LA GUERRE DU PELOPONESE, CONTINUEE PAR XENOPHON. DE LA TRADUCTION DE NICOLAS PERROT, SIEUR D'ABLANCOURT. PARIS DAVID 1724
|
2 Voll. in 8vo; Leg. coeva in p. pelle marmoriz., tit. fregi in oro sui dorsi a nervi., tagli rossi a spruzzo, sguardie marmoriz.; pp. 26 nn. (incl. 2 b., Front.), 546; Front., 348, 84 nn.; Marca tipogr. ai Front., Test. xilogr., Iniz. orn. Si tratta dell'opera sulla guerra del Peloponneso dello storico greco Tucidide nella celebre traduzione di Nicolas Perrot d'Ablancourt (1606-1664), che viene classificata fra le "belle infedeli". Fu spesso criticata per le sue inesattezze ma lodata per lo stile e l'eleganza e fu spesso ristampata. L'espressione "le belle infedeli", che tanta fortuna ebbe in seguito, nacque proprio in relazione a una traduzione di Perrot d'Ablancourt. Il letterato francese, in effetti, concepiva le sue traduzioni, fra le quale quelle di Cicerone, Omero, Plutarco, Tacito, come delle opere originali, per le quali si trattava di rendere vivi i testi antichi, anche a costo di prendersi qualche liberta'. L'edizione originale e' del 1662. Cfr., Roger Zuber, Les "Belles Infideles" et la formation du gout classique. Perrot d'Ablancourt et Guez de Balzac, Armand Colin, Paris, 1968.

II. Their several titles of honour, whether hereditary, or by great offices in the state: together with just and correct blasons of their said atchievements, and reasons for many of their particular bearings, &c. To which is added, by way of introduction, An essay, on the nature, rise, and intent of arms and armory. Shewing their progressive growth, in the practice of both the ancients and moderns; together with sufficient rules and observations, for attaining a perfect knowledge in that science. Vol. I: pp. (1) [Title printed in red and black], (1) [Engraved dedication to John Earl of Montagu] (6) [Subscriber's list], (94) [Essay on Arms and Armory] + 108 Engraved plates of coats of arms (as in some other copies, plate 94 is lacking - but there are two plates numbered 16).

Le Droit De La Guerre et De La Paix Par Hugues Grotius, Nouvelle Traduction, Par Jean Barbeyrac...Avec Les Notes De L'auteur Meme, Qui N'avoient Point Encore Paru En Francois, & De Nouvelles Notes Du Traducteur. In Two Volumes
|
Chez Pierre De Coup Amsterdam: Chez Pierre De Coup, 1724. First Edition. 4to. [6], [xliii], [3], 518pp. 519-1001pp, [39]. Complete with portrait frontis to first, and final blanks to both volumes. Handsomely bound in contemporary French tan spotted calf, gilt. Lacks title labels to spine. Rubbed, with slight loss to head of spine. One or two insignificant wormholes to base of spines. Cracking to joints, with strong binding cords holding the boards very well indeed. Some browning to endpapers and prelims, sporadic occasional browning to text, which is otherwise generally clean and bright. The odd crease to pages. With the bookplates of John Orlebar, Middle Temple to verso of title in both volumes. An important edition of Grotius' work on the legal theory of War and Peace, originally published in Latin, Paris, 1625. The scarce and sought after First Barbeyrac translation of De jure Belli ac Pacis into French, considered a superior French version to that of Courtin. Combined with more comprehensive notes, this present edition became the standard edition for centuries. Grotius explained in the three books of this title respectively that war could be justified, by the 'just causes' of self-defence, reparation of injury and considered punishment, finally arguing that justice must also be served in the fair execution of war by rules that governed all involved. The first expression of the 'droit naturel', a keystone text in the area of international law, particularly influential in nineteenth and early twentieth century Europe. Meulen & Diermanse 654, Dekkers p.70: 6., PMM 125.

HOMANN, Johann Baptist (1663-1724)
[New England] Nova Anglia Septentrionali Americae implantata Anglorumque coloniis florentissima Geographicice exhibita
|
Nuremberg: Joh. Baptista Homann, [1724]. Copper-engraved map, full period colouring, wide margins. In excellent condition except for some small expertly repaired tears to the margins. 21 1/4 x 25 1/4 inches. An excellent copy of this fine map of New England by one of the greatest German 18th-century cartographers This very fine map, in magnificent full original colour, focuses on New England, but embraces the entire territory from Philadelphia in the south up to the St. Lawrence Valley in the north. It depicts the region as it was considered before the British government commissioned advanced surveys of the subject. The geographic portrayal of the coast of New England is quite detailed, and features extensive hydrological information of the coast. Curiously, however, Boston Harbor is shown to be dramatically larger than its actual appearance, and Cape Cod is shown to be an island. In the interior, Lake Champlain is depicted to be dramatically east of its true location, and New York's Lake Seneca is creatively shown to be a massive sea that drains into the Hudson Valley. To the north, the portrayal of New France is equally fanciful, as "Mont Royal" Island, the site of Montreal, takes on a massive, attenuated form immediately adjacent to Lake Ontario. True to Homann's artistic signature, the map features a finely-engraved cartouche in the lower right corner that depicts American scenes of commerce and nature. One of the most celebrated cartographers of his day, Johann Baptist Homann established the most successful German publishing house of the eighteenth century. His prolific business, which was inherited by his family after his death, dominated Germany's map market for over a century, and produced some of the finest maps and atlases of the age. He established himself in Nuremberg, and by 1715 was appointed Geographer to the Emperor. After Homann's death, the business was taken over by his son, Johann Christoph. From 1730, the firm was entrusted to committee of family members, the Homann Heirs, who published maps and atlases for the next two generations, maintaining the high standards set by Johann Baptist.

Volumes I-IV - Theodore le Gras; Paris: Volumes I & II - Nicolas Gosselin Paris: Volumes I-IV - Theodore le Gras; Paris: Volumes I & II - Nicolas Gosselin, 1724 Nouveau Coutumier General; 1724 - 4th edition I believe: Traitez de Mr Duplessis; 1726 - Later edition: `Considerably Revised with Notes by Misters Berroyer and Lauriere`. 16 1/4 x 10 1/2. 1724- Volumes I-IV - Theodore le Gras; Paris: Volumes I & II - Nicolas Gosselin; Paris. Very good. Complete 4 Volumes. Ex-libris. Full calf, gilt on red title and volume tiles to each spine and elaborate, but largely worn gilt motifs betwixt each of the six raised bands. Extremeties rubbed, worn and bumped. Occasional bits of backstrip missing, and leather lifting. The binding has largely held out exceptionally well for such cumbersome and aged volumes. All page edges red. Marbled endpapers, each pastedown bearing 2 or 3 ex-libris bookplates, one being a presentation plate, noting the set as having been bequeathed to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Public Library by Sir Arthur Middleton, the 7th Baronet of Belsay Castle, Northumberland (and member of parliament for the City of Durham). Occasional inobtrusively placed round red library stamp throughout. Pages lightly toned, no foxing worth a note. Altogether a sound and clean set. Largely pertaining to the customary civil laws of individual provinces in old France. Charles-Antoine Bourdot de Richebourg (1685-1735), the editor of this significant collection was not a simple compiler. He joined his own observations to those of the other commentators. A significant source of information for the history, laws and customs of old France. This rare and highly sought set comprises not only the most correct text for each province, but it is enriched by new notes from Broduau, Chauvelin, etc. The content of the set is largely taken from original records preserved at the clerk`s office of the Parliament of Paris. Accompanied by synopses in the margins of the articles, interpretations of the obscure dictions employed in the texts, and alphabetical lists of the places governed by each habit. Enriched by new notes drawn from the principal observations of the commentators, & the judgements which cleared up, interpreted, or corrected some points & articles of habits. The Table of Contents alone (at the start of the first volume) will be a revelation to some. It`s fairly obvious that Paris and Normandy for instance would have separate customs, but Orly? Some of the places, like Ghent (Gand), were not (I think) part of France in our period though they may have been in the past. Each town or region`s customs also have their own table of contents. A quick perusal of these shows that by far the main concern of such laws was property - buying and selling it, inheriting it, etc. Parental rights on their children - closely linked of course with property - are another major concern. Strangely, while homicide is mentioned, the crime that seems to bear the closest examination in many of these is insult (and calumny, etc.). Was this simply an attempt to nip more violent crimes in the bud? (A laborer who had his arm broken in a fight would be that much less useful to the local lord, so it may well be that even this comes back to property.) But it might also simply have been a question of honor, with all that has meant in many cultures. FOR COMPREHENSIVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THIS BOOK PLEASE SEE OUR WEBSITE. OVERWEIGHT, REQUIRES ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST. . Fourth Edition. Full-Calf. Very Good/No Jacket. Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall. Ex-Library.

[World maps, hemispherical maps on two sheets] Hemisphere Oriental Dressée en 1720 pour l'usage particulier du Roy sur les Observations Astronomiques et Geographiques raportées la même année dans l'Histoire et dans les memoires del' Academie Rle. des Sciences [and] Hemisphere Occidental Dresse en 1720...
|
Paris: chez l'Auteur le Sieur Delisle sur le Quay de l'Horloge, 5 September 1724. Copper-engraved maps, with period outline colour. Good condition but just shaved into plate area at upper and lower margins. 19 3/4 x 24 1/2 inches. A pair of hemispherical maps of the World, by De l'Isle. Guillaume de l'Isle (1675-1726) was the son of a cartographer and a pupil of Jean Dominique Cassini, who, among other important contributions, aligned the study of astronomy to the study of geography. Under Cassini's direction, observations were made from locations all over the world that enabled longitudinal calculations to be made with much greater accuracy. De l'Isle carried on this exacting work with remarkable dedication and integrity, constantly revising and improving his maps. These maps exemplify the characteristics which led to De l'Isle achieving his reputation as the outstanding cartographer of his age. He was very exacting about geographical information, and what wasn't known, for example the northwestern coast of North America, he left blank. He avoided to a remarkable extent common mistakes passed on from mapmaker to mapmaker, including the widely believed notion that California was an island. While precision was his primary goal, his maps are invariably elegant and attractive.

[MATHER, Cotton (1663-1728)]
Parentator. Memoirs of Remarkables in the Life and the Death of the Ever-Memorable Dr. Increase Mather
|
Boston: B. Green for Nathaniel Belknap, 1724. 8vo. (6 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches). Title (verso blank), I-X, i-xiv, 1-[-244], [1] (verso blank) pp. Portrait frontispiece of Increase Mather engraved by Sturt. (Minor paper restoration at a few corners). Expertly bound to style in eighteenth-century calf, covers ruled in gilt with a central triple gilt ruled panel, spine with raised bands in six compartments decoratively tooled in gilt. The first biography of Increase Mather, complete with the rare Sturt portrait. Cotton Mather's homage to his famous father, who had died in 1723, is the earliest extensive biography of Increase Mather and gives important details of both his religious and political activities in Massachusetts. Holmes describes the biography as an "eminently readable work." The book also includes an early catalogue of Increase Mather's published writings: 6 pages, covering a period between 1669 and 1722, and preceeded by "Behold, the Catalogue! - Without any mention of the Learned and Useful Praefaces, which the Publishers of many Books Obtained from him as a Beautiful Porch unto them; and which Collected, would make a considerable Volumn." In the charming errata (or "Advertisement"), often missing but present here, Mather gives eight lines of corrections but is also very complimentary about the printer, Timothy Green Jr. (1703-1763). At the time Green, a member of the distinguished Boston printing family, was an apprentice in his uncle Bartholomew's shop. Mather notes that this was "the First Book, that has entirely pas'd thro' [Green's]... hand" and compares the latter's accuracy to the master-printer Christian Wechel. Of primary importance to this early American imprint is the frontispiece portrait of Increase Mather, which is only the second engraved portrait to appear in a book published in the British colonies. According to Holmes, the portrait was not originally published with the work and appears "to have been added to special copies, either at the time of publication, or since." As the portrait was engraved in London, it seems likely that Green or Belknap ordered a limited number to have inserted into "deluxe" copies. We could locate only a handful of extant copies complete with the portrait. This copy originally owned by Reverend Hezekiah Lord (1697/98-1761), a contemporary of Cotton Mather and the first pastor to North Preston, Connecticut. Church 893; Evans 2557; Holmes, Cotton Mather 271; Howes M393 "b"; Sabin 46447.

A TREATISE OF THE PLEAS OF THE CROWN: Or a System of the Principal Matters relating to the Subject, digested under their proper Heads.

Some light browning, contemporary annotations, nicely rebound in modern speckled calf, gilt rule edged raised bands with gilt lettered title label to spine. ESTCT126275. William Hawkins (1681/2–1750), serjeant-at-law. ‘... His career as a legal writer began as early as 1711 with an abridgement of Coke upon Littleton, which reached a fourth edition in 1822. He is best known in the legal profession for his Pleas of the Crown (1716–21), a copy of which he presented to Oriel. This treatise may indeed have been his principal qualification for the coif. It was the first substantial exposition of English criminal law to be printed since that by Sir Edward Coke (1552–1634), and it represented a distinct advance in terms of analysis and detail. The masterpiece by Sir Matthew Hale (1609–1676), the Historia placitorum coronae, was not published until 1736, and even then it did not supplant Hawkins, being an earlier composition. In the third edition of Hawkins, in 1739, references to Hale were inserted by G. L. Scott. Posthumous editions appeared in 1762, 1771 (by Thomas Leach), 1787, 1795, and 1824 (by John Curwood), and a summary was published in 1728 (second edition 1770) ...’ US$644

M. Charpentier
Carpentariana Ou Remarques D'Histoire, De Morale, De Critique,D'Erudition, et De Bons Mots De M.Charpentier De l'Academie Francoise.
|
Chez Nicolas Le Breton, Fils, Paris - Quay Des Augustins 1724 - This work was actually assembled by Ms Boscheron, from unpublished manuscripts found after Charpentier's death. Charpentier was a prominent man of letters,the author of the life of Socrates and the translator of Xenophon. This is the first edition of the book published 'avec priviliege du roi'. There were two later editions in 1741. This copy is in the original full calf with a double rule to the perimeters of top and bottom boards. The spine has five raised bands with panels decorated ornate gilt. The original endpapers appear to be of Dutch silk. The pagination is first blank; title with privelege stamp in red next to a woodcut device; preface of 3 leaves; approbation and privelege du roy of 3 leaves; pp1-491 complete + 3 leaves Fautes a corriger + final blank. The text is very clean and sound. The binding is knocked at all corners and there are markings which look like old tape marks at the lower joints front and rear, The spine itself has suffered some loss - a triangular loss to the head, upperr corner; and also about onethird of the original leather to the fourth panel. Otherwise the spine is wel preserved decoratively with the gilt still bright and the original leather title piece intact. It should also be noted that the front joint is cracked but holding firmly - and that there is a large and rather ugly bookplate affixed to the front paste down. There is also some kind of bar code label to the lower part of the front fly leaf. Overall a reasonable copy of a scarce book. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

FIRST IRISH EDITION(?), pp (6), 174, (18), 12mo, old half calf, rubbed, old rebacking in cloth : a small, faint, stamp in three places, otherwise a strongly bound and very good copy. The first and only Irish printing : ESTC locates two copies : D and Du - none in UK or USA. The first edition was published at London in 1700 (Wing C 1217a) and was frequently reprinted. ESTC locates a copy at the BL of a 1706 London printing for the Dublin bookseller John Gill, but the 1724 Dublin printing is the first edition printed in Dublin recorded there. The blank margins of the section of tables for six per cent interest have been tabbed with manuscript numbers keyed to specific days in the loan cycle. Castaing co-edited the London financial paper, 'The Course of the Exchange, and Other Things', from 1701 to April 30 1725. All editions are very scarce. Kress lists the 1712 third edition, and postulates - incorrectly - that the first edition also appeared that year. In our copy, the first gathering appears to have been incorrectly composed or bound, with the preliminary blank following the title-page, and pages 3/4 and 5/6 reversed. Not in Higgs, Goldsmiths' or Black.

Second edition. First published in 1641 in Cambridge under the title Warme Beere, this is the scarce second edition of this treatise; two further editions followed in 1725 and 1741. The work proposes the case that cold beer is detrimental to health, but that warm beer is beneficial and indeed therapeutic, stating that, 'according to the rules of physick, drink is used for three purposes. First to allay our thirst; secondly to intermingle with our food; thirdly to be the vehiculum and carrier of nourishment into the universal body' (p. 2). The effects of hot and cold drinks including wine, tea, and beer, are variously considered and discussed with regard to gout, the liver and kidneys, the stomach and digestion, the blood, the nervous system, and numerous ailments, and the author bases his arguments on ancient and contemporary authorities, citing Galen, Aristotle, and Plato, supplemented by more modern ones, including Nicolas Monardes, Arnoldus de Villa Nova, Marsilio Ficino, and Giovanni Pietro Maffei. Although the first three editions are anonymous, the prefaces are signed 'F.W.'; the fourth edition has a dedication to the eminent physician Richard Mead, signed by Martin Grindal (who notes that he has amended the orthography and terminology, where they appear archaic). The preface 'of the publisher to the reader' sets out the case for warm beer (and against cold) by citing the editor's own experiences and opinions: 'But some will say, cold beer is very pleasant to one that is thirsty: I answer it is true: but pleasant things for the most part are very dangerous. Cold beer is pleasant when extream thirst is in the stomach, but what's more dangerous to the health? How many have you known and heard of, who by drinking of a cup of cold beer in extream thirst, have taken a surfeit and killed themselves? What's more pleasant than for one that hath gone up a hill in summer-time and is exceeding hot, to sit down and open his breast that the cool air may blow therein? and yet how dangerous is it? For a man in a very short time, forgetting himself, taketh a sudden cold, and surfeits thereon, which costeth his precious life for his pleasant air' (pp. [vi]-[vii]). Interestingly the text varies slightly through these editions: the case is cited of the wife of Mr Clark of Jarck's Hill in Kent, whose malady responds well to warm beer, but badly to cold; in the first edition this incident is dated to 1590 (p. 105), in this edition the date has been amended to 1693 (p. 36), and in the 1741 edition no date is given (p. 37). This edition is rare: ESTC locates only two copies in the United Kingdom (both at the British Library; Maclean erroneously states that the BL 'copy of the 1724 edition has been lost or mislaid') and four in North America (Brigham Young University, NLM, University of Pennsylvania Van Pelt-Dietrich, and University of Tulsa; the Lilly Library catalogue only cites an electronic resource). In addition, Maclean cites a copy in the Library of Congress, which cannot be traced in their online catalogue. Similarly, no copy can be traced in Anglo-American auction records since 1975 (and only two copies of the more common 1641 edition are recorded in that period). ESTC T52237; Maclean p. 64; NLM/Blake p. 481.

Johann Karl Balzer, Prague: [no date.]. Johann Karl Balzer, Prague: [no date.]. Engraved portrait of Count, Field-Marshall Dagobert Sigismund de Wurmser, Grand Cross of the Order of Maria Theresa (1724-1797), image 16cm X 10.5cm, sheet 27.5cm X 19.5cm, by Johann Karl Balzer in Prague, no date, ca. 1780. This native-born Alsatian fought in the Seven Years War, the War of the Bavarian Succession, and distinguished himself still further with his heroic but futile defense of Mantua against Napoleon in 1796. He was also a member of the Freemasons Lodge "Truth and Harmony" in Prague. His skull wound up in the hands of Dr. Gall, the pioneering phrenologist, the study of which he had encouraged during his lifetime and in which he had an interest. The exact location of his grave was lost. Printed on coarse paper, probably a printer's proof. Fine.

Eichstätt, Strauß, 1724.. 8 Bll., 47338, 31 S., 3 Bll. (Register). 1 Kupfer-Frontisp. Gr.-8°. HLdr. des 20. Jahrhunderts (leicht beschabt und bestoßen, Rücken etw. gebleicht).. Zweite erweiterte Ausgabe dieses erstmals 1716 erschienen Werks. - Besonders interessant ist das Werk aufgrund der ausführlichen Behandlung des Walburgisöls, das in der Volkskunde und Volksmedizin des süddeutschen Raums eine große Roille spielte. Das sogenannte Walburgisöl ist eine kristallhelle, farb-, geschmack- und geruchlose Flüssigkeit, die sich perlenartig unter dem Sargstein der Heiligen Walburga in Eichstätt bildet. Wegen des langsamen Herabfließens in dicken Tropfen wurde sie von jeher mit Öl verglichen und daher Walburgisöl genannt. Das niederträufelnd "Öl" wird durch silberne Rinnen in vergoldeten Schalen gesammelt. Die Klosterfrauen der Abtei füllen es in kleine Glasfläschchen, und so wird es den Gläubigen nach Verlangen abgegeben und in alle Teile der Erde versendet. Den übernatürlichen Ursprung des hl. Walburgisöles bezeugt neun Jahrhunderte hindurch eine ununterbrochene Kette wunderbarer Heilungen. - Frontispiz mit minimalem Loch (ca. 2 mm) im Bild. Titel und Vorsatz im Falz neu angerandet. teils kl. Wurmgänge im Falz. Teils gebräunt und fleckig. Vorsatz mit hs. Besitzvermerk. Frontispiz und Titel verso gestempelt. Exlibris.

A Paris, chez Gabriel-François Quillau fils, 1724. - In-4 de : [8] feuillets non chiffrés (titre, préface), 477 pages, [2] feuillets non chiffrés (privilège, table des matières, errata) Plein veau brun de l'époque, dos à nerfs cloisonné et fleuronné, pièce de titre, tranches mouchetées de rouge. Premier plat détaché : tel quel. Unique édition de ce traité de théologie historique du jésuite Phlipotot (1682-1755) dit Du Chesne, du nom de son village de naissance. - elle est peu courante, et présente l'avantage de se concentrer sur ce thème controversé entre tous, qui illustre parfaitement la difficulté de concilier théoriquement la totale et absolue liberté de choix divine, avec la liberté même limitée de sa créature. L'intégralité du livre VI est naturellement consacrée au "système de Jansénius", immédiatement après l'examen des doctrines calvinistes, puisque c'était un topos théologique infrangible chez les Jésuites des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles d'assimiler les deux théologies.
