"The Eighth Edition, carefully Corrected," first published in 1707 with some subsequent additions, and often reprinted. Tom Brown was, of course, one of the foremost writers on London low-life of his or any other era, and these works contain all of his most famous pieces. Nothing was beyond his pen : there are such things as a supposed letter from Aphra Behn to "a Virgin Actress," giving her a little advice, with the virgin's answer. Also present are the famous "Amusements Serious and Comical" with their portraits of playhouses, gaming-houses, coffee-houses, the "Walk round London and Westminster" on taverns, bawdy-houses, meeting-houses, and Brown's voluminous and often very witty occasional verses and letters. Brown?s works were much read, and copies in fine original condition are now very rare as, for that matter, is this edition in any form : ESTC locates only six copies : Cambridge, National Library of Ireland, and four in the U.S.A.

London: Pr. for T. Becket, 1778. 8vo. vi pp., [1] f., 74 pp. . Although this is labelled "Second Edition," it is printed from the same setting of type as the first edition.

The work attempts to convey the substance of several Parliamentary speeches concerning the American controversy, with at least one Cassandra saying the Franco-American alliance cannot last, and another doubting the war can have any lasting effect on the British economy. Adams, American Controversy, 78-102b; Sabin 95788. Sewn, later wrappers applied; some foxing. Four leaves chipped along the outer margin, not affecting text.

The author repeatedly extols the great work of Priestley and also speaks highly of Black, Chaussier, Fontana, Gerardin, Lavoisier, Meyer, Venel, Volta, and others. In 1776 Sigaud assisted Macquer in experiments showing that water is produced when hydrogen burns in air.

He became professor of mathematics at the Academy of Geneva, succeeding Jallabert and Trembley. He wrote a number of works on mathematics with the present being one of his largest 2 volumes.

Fabricius, Johann Christian
Philosophia entomologica sistens scientiae fundamenta adiectis definitionibus exemplis, observationibus, adumbrationibus
|
Hamburgi et Kilonii: Carol. Ernest. Bohnii, 1778. First edition. 8vo. [12], 178 pp. Full contemporary brown calf, with green leather spine label. Endpaper a bit browned, one small stain to title page, slight toning to text, but overall a handsome, pleasant copy in contemporary binding, with the bookseller's ticket of Parisian bookseller Ambroise Lefevre. "Librairie Scientifique Ancienne & Moderne" . Fabricius first major work on the system and theory of entomology, and perhaps his greatest theoretical contribution to the science. "Fabricius was undoubtedly one of the most distinguished entomologists and ranks with Carl de Geer, P.A. Latreille, A.G. Oliver and other prominent specialists of earlier times. In many respects he surpassed them, especially as a theoretical natural scientist ... It was Fabricius' greatest ambition to build a system based on the naturally defined genera, without doubt a definite and new contribution to insect systematics. He considered this more important than a dry description of the various species." - DSB IV pp. 512/513

MIRABEAU Honore Gabriel de H. G.
Des lettres de cachet et des prisons d'etat. Ouvrage posthume, compose en 1778.
|
Edition originale. La seconde partie est consideree comme rare, puisqu'il fut demande a la prusse de saisir le manuscrit et de bruler les exemplaires , on constate pourtant que la seconde partie est presente dans de nombreux exemplaires. §Demi chagrin noir milieu XIXe , dos a nerfs. Caissons a froid. Frottis. §L'ouvrage, compose durant et apres l'arrestation et l'incarceration de Mirabeau a Vincennes, est un plaidoyer et un requisitoire contre la justice arbitraire et le pouvoir. « J'entreprends de parler des emprisonnements arbitraires et des prisons d'etat. » On trouvera dans l'ouvrage de nombreux commentaires historiques et une importante documentation sur le pouvoir arbitraire et l'exercice judiciaire. Dans la seconde partie, Mirabeau traite plus etroitement de la vie carcerale et des prisons. Mirabeau s'attarde egalement sur la constitution anglaise et tend a prouver que notre propre histoire condamne l'utilisation des lettres de cachet, tout comme elle fait des rois les seuls mandataires du peuple.Photos sur www.Edition-originale.com.

Todds Kommentar zu Nr. 2). Das von Christopher Todd verzeichnete Exemplar weicht geringfügig von dem vorliegenden ab. Das "Avis.

Exlibris Franz Pollack-Parnau. Todd, Bibliographie des oeuvres de J.-F. de La Harpe (1979), Nr. 4 (Variante). First complete edition of the writings of de La Harpe, who prepared this Paris edition simultanously with the Yverdon edition of 1777 published in three volumes. The present copy varies slightly, while the "Avis. [à] Ceux qui acquerront cette Édition" is to be found in Todd's copy at the end of the first volume it is printed here on title verso of vol. I. - A clean copy. - Contemporary marbled calf, back on five raised bands, spine gilt with two labels (extremeties of last vol. partly worn, corners worn). [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]
