Translated by E. Chambers. Plates 125-129 in Part IV are incorrectly marked for Part V.

Burney, Charles
A General History Of Music from the earliest ages to the present period. To which is prefixed, A dissertation on the music of the ancients
|
London:: for the Author,, 1782-89. Second edition of volume 1, first editions of volumes 2-4.. Contemp calf-backed marbled boards, all covers detached, spines worn, lacks labels; bookplates of Worcester Library; foxing, some dampstains, paper lightly toned (partly printed on blue tint paper), offsetting from plates, large copies--uncut.. 4to. 4 vols. 272 x 217mm.. 3 Frontis. and port. of Burney by Bartolozzi, 8 plates & figures (4 folding); numerous engraved pages of music. The work was from the outset very successful, and was generally pronounced superior to the similar undertaking of Sir John Hawkins...Burney, possessed of far greater knowledge than Hawkins, better judgment, and a better style, frequently wrote about things which he had not sufficiently examined...Both works are of the highest value, and form the foundation of nearly every English work on musical history which has appeared since..."[DNB] "The first volume of BurneyOsHistory was out of print within a few weeks of publication, and Burney had decided by April of 1776 to prepare a second edition of the volume. The second edition of volume 1 takes account of a number of suggestions made by Thomas Twining. The "Dissertation" no longer features on the title-page of the second edition and becomes part of the Preface, while the "Questions and Answers" are transmuted into#11;"Definitions." Many passages from the first edition are radically altered or omitted. When publication of the four volumes was completed in 1789, Mary Wollstonecraft was one of the reviewers. Writing in the February, 1790 issue of the Analytical Review, she said "Every lover of this captivating art, must thank the author, emphatically, for his unwearied researches, whilst the unimpassioned philosopher may coldly connect a more grand and comprehensive interest with the enquiry, and drawing metaphysical inferences from the ingenuity displayed in the progressive improvement of music, advance a step further into the terra incognita of the human mind."

COYER, Gabriel Francois (1707-1782)
Oeuvres complettes.
|
Paris, veuve Duchesne 1782-1783. 7 volumes. 12mo. With engraved oval portrait of the author in volume 1 and another portrait in volume 6. Contemp. calf, backs richly gilt with double labels, triple line gilt borders on all sides, marbled endpapers, marbled edges. Faint water stain in upper margin of 3 volumes, minor wear to extremities. A fine set. First and only collective edition. The abbe Gabriel Francois Coyer was born in the Franche-Comte from a poor family and educated by the Jesuits. The short biographical sketch of the author included in the first volume records that he left the order in 1736 'because of his love for freedom and peace', which resulted in a conflict with his superiors. He became secretary to the prince de Turenne and chaplain general to the cavalry, which brought him to the battle of Lawfelt (Lauffeld) and the siege of Bergen-op-Zoom in 1747. He held various other official positions and made travels to Italy and England, where he became a member of the Royal Society. His biographer characterizes him as 'an enemy by nature of fanatism, intolerance and superstition'. Most of his works are of economic interest and well represented in the economic collections of Kress, Goldsmiths', Einaudi (1381-1390) and INED (1224-1233). *This collective edition not in Kress, Goldsmiths', Einaudi or INED. CCFr records 2 sets only (BnF and Mediatheque J.J.Rousseau, Chambery). NUC ('3 vols') locates 3 sets. OCLC gives 5 locations (COO, RRR, EEM, PUL and Oxford). COPAC records the Oxford set only. Detailed contents of the volumes: 1. Bagatelles morales. Dissertations pour etre lues. Discours sur la satyre contre les philosophes. Lettre au R.P. Berthier sur le materialisme. De la predication.

Ex-libris J.C.A. Recamier - Huitieme edition revue et soigneusement corrigee ; augmentee de remarques importantes et enrichie de figures en taille douce qui representent les instruments nouveaux les plus en usage par M. G. De La Faye. Chirurgien celebre du 17eme siecle, P. Dionis contribua puissamment, par un enseignement a la fois plein de clarte et de methode, a repandre une instruction solide parmi les nombreux eleves qui assistaient a ses lecons ; on peut dire qu'il a prepare ainsi les elemens qui devaient plus tard servir a la fondation de l'Academie royale de chirurgie. Cet ouvrage de Dionis a ete bien longtemps classique ; c'est egalement l'expose des lecons de chirurgie qu'il faisait au Jardin du Roy dans lequel l'auteur rappelle les resultats d'une pratique de 46 annees. Dans cet ouvrage, Dionis traite de toutes les parties de la medecine operatoire et donne un grand nombre de preceptes qui sont encore suivis aujourd'hui (polypes des fosses nasales, bec-de-lievre, maladies des dents et les operations qu'elle reclament...) . The present work and his L'Anatomie de l'homme were Dionis' most important contributions. This book became extremely popular and was widely used as a textbook. It was published in many editions... The text reveals that Dionis was a surgeon with compassion for his patients and that he relied heavily on a thorough knowledge of anatomy. The volume contains many illustrations that depict the surgical instruments and other paraphernalia required for a wide variety of surgical procedures . (Heirs of Hippocrates N 650 1707 ed.).

SEWARD, ANNA
Poem to the Memory of Lady Miller
|
London: Printed for G. Robinson, 1782. By Miss Seward, Author of the Elegy on Capt. Cook, and Monody on Major Andre. [ii], ii, 20pp., 4to. A fine large copy, neatly bound in modern marbled boards. First edition. Lady Miller of Batheaston held regular assemblies at her villa during the Bath social season. As Anna Seward!s preface to the poem puts it:#11; She rendered this Meeting a Poetical Institution, giving out Subjects at each Assembly for Poems to be read at the ensuing one. The Verses were deposited in an antique Etruscan Vase, and were drawn out by Gentlemen appointed to read them aloud, and to judge of their rival Merits. These Gentlemen, ignorant of the Authors, selected three Poems from the Collection which they thought most worthy of the three Myrtle Wreaths. . . .#11;The poetical assemblies continued !about six Years, and ceased with the Death of its amiable Patroness. --- That event happened in July 1781.!

1782 newspaper GEORGE WASHINGTON's DENTIST 1st Illustrated Dental AD / defeat of Cornwallis at Battle of Yorktown VIRGINIA
|
Boston, MASSACHUSETTS 1782 - COMPLETE ORIGINAL American Revolutionary War newspaper, the Continental Journal (Boston, MA) dated June 27, 1782. Inside page essay that refers to the recent defeat of British General Cornwallis by American General George Washington. This battle ended the American Revolution for all practical purposes. There is also news of the negotiations going on over the ending of the Revolutionary war and the recognition of the Independence of the United States by Great Britain. There is also a back page, 6" x 4" ILLUSTRATED AD placed by a Revolutionary War era American dentist, ISAAC GREENWOOD, the father of the FIRST AMERICAN BORN DENTIST, John Greenwood who was the dentist for GEORGE WASHINGTON. This is the FIRST and earliest illustrated dental ad in a US newspaper !! Great newspaper to frame and hang in a present day dental office. The Siege of Yorktown or Battle of Yorktown in 1781 was a decisive victory by a combined assault of American forces led by General George Washington and French forces led by General Comte de Rochambeau over a British Army commanded by General Lord Cornwallis. It proved to be the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War, as the surrender of Cornwallis’s army (the second major surrender of the war) prompted the British government to eventually negotiate an end to the conflict. Dr. John Greenwood (1760-1819) was George Washington's personal dentist, often called the Father of Modern Dentistry, was responsible for designing Washington's famous dentures, which were not wood but carved from hippopotamus tusk. He invented the first known "dental foot engine" in 1790. He was the son of Isaac Greenwood, the first native-born American dentist. Good condition. There are two light brown stains on the newspaper. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it.

VALLE, Guglielmo DELLA;
Lettere senesi Di un socio dell' Accademia di Fossano sopra le Belle Arti.

Venezia, Giovambatista Pasquali, Roma, 1782-1786 3 volumes in-4 de (2) ff., 292 pp., (2) ff. - VI pp., (1) fb., 283 pp. - (2) ff., 479, (1) pp., maroquin vert, triple filet dore en encadrement sur les plats, dos a nerfs ornes de fleurons de caissons dores, double filet dore sur les coupes, dentelle interieure, tranches dorees sur marbrure (R. Petit). "Edition originale de cette histoire des Primitifs siennois. Au-dela d'une discussion qui s'ouvre sur des sujets generaux en matiere d'art, les Lettere senesi du pere cordelier Guglielmo Della Valle (1740-1794) marquent par la vision nouvelle qu'elles proposent sur l'histoire de la peinture. Synthetisant les dernieres recherches en ce domaine, Della Valle conteste de nombreuses affirmations de Vasari dans les Vite - une histoire de l'art a la gloire de Florence - et s'efforce de mettre en evidence l'autonomie ainsi que la preeminence de l'ecole siennoise sur la florentine. Ce nouveau Zoile souligne que la re-naissance de la peinture est a mettre au credit de Guido da Sienna (XIIIe siecle), actif avant Cimabue (1240-1302), l'artiste florentin - maitre de Giotto - considere par Vasari comme le premier a faire sortir la peinture de l'archaique et stereotypee maniere byzantine. S'appuyant sur des sources anciennes et les archives de la ville, Della Valle s'attache aussi a presenter les artistes siennois des XIVe et XVe siecles et, tel un ""Vasarimastix"" - fleau de Vasari -, corrige le peintre et historien de la cite des Medicis a propos par exemple des informations qu'il avait donnees sur Simone Martini, Duccio et les freres Lorenzetti. Della Valle distingue en outre les caracteristiques propres aux ecoles florentines et siennoises, en se fondant sur la theorie des climats : Florence dans une vallee encadree de montagnes et Sienne sur une colline offerte aux vents, situation favorisant la dimension poetique de ses createurs.Quatre planches gravees (dont trois rempliees) ; deux consacrees au tombeau de Frederic II.Tres bel exemplaire en maroquin de de Petit.Hayden B.

AAN HET VOLK VAN NEDERLAND; OF, BEWYZEN EN CONSIDERATIEN OVER DE VOORDEELEN DER NEGOTIE MET DE NOORD AMERICAANEN. IN DE VEREENIGDE NEDERLANDEN, (1782).
|
8vo. Unbound, uncut, loose in paper wrappers. With typographical vignette on title. 16 pp. Rare Dutch pamphlet written during the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War (1780-1784) and the American War of Independence ( from 1776 onwards) urging a peace with England in order to secure free trade with the United States. The pamphlet is divided into three parts: (1) a letter by a 'gentleman from Leyden' to 'one of his friends in Amsterdam' (pp. 3-8); (2) the 'Concept request' directed to States of Holland and Westfriesland to realize the author's objective (pp. 9-12); (3) a letter to a 'gentleman in the province of Overijssel' on the same subject (pp. 13-16). In the first part, the anonymous author argues that the Dutch have nothing to gain by war, only to lose, because it severely hurts the overseas trade. Therefore, the Dutch should accept a peace offer recently made by England. He explains the advantages of the North American trade, being a cure for a revival of the Dutch languishing trade and commerce. According to the author, the Dutch should move fast and take over this trade, before the British would make peace with the United States and re-establish their own trade with North America. Since British naval dominance kept Dutch ships out of American ports, peace with Great Britain would be a prerequisite. Good copy. Muller, Books on America 1639; Knuttel 19963.

Becattini Francesco [già attribuito a Modesto Rastrelli]
Fatti attenenti all'Inquisizione e sua istoria generale e particolare di Toscana.
|
per Anton Giuseppe Pagani,, Firenze, 1782 - In-8° (175x101mm), pp. (2), 239, legatura ottocentesca m. pelle e angoli con filetti oro al dorso. Tagli a spruzzi rossi. Fregio ad arabesco al titolo. 2 tavv. incise su rame ripiegate f.t., la prima tra le pp. 72-73, sui diversi tipi di tortura applicati nelle prigioni dell'Inquisizione e la seconda, tra le pp. 78-79, sulle "Vestiture diverse de'Rei condannati dall'Inquisizione". Alcuni aloni d'umido marginali, qualche fioritura lieve. Edizione originale, rara e impressa in forma anonima per ragioni prudenziali, della prima storia dell'Inquisizione composta in Italia, già attribuita all'abate e poligrafo Modesto Rastrelli (Firenze, 1752-ivi, 1814), e ora restituita dalle moderne ricerche alla penna di Francesco Becattini (Firenze, 1743-ivi, 1813), inesauribile poligrafo di stampo illuminista. Il volume, improntato a una vibrante condanna dei metodi inquisitori (che valse all'opera la messa alll'Indice nel 1817), narra delle origini dell'Inquisizione e del suo diffondersi in Francia, in Spagna, in Portogallo, in Italia, a Malta, ecc., degli auto da fé, dei sistemi di tortura, passando poi a discorrere particolarmente dell'Inquisizione a Firenze e in Toscana e dei processi toccati ad Aonio Paleario e a Galileo, ai Socini e a Carnesecchi, alle streghe senesi e a Pandolfo Ricasoli. Di singolare interesse anche la relazione finale "Della carcerazione del Dottor Tommaso Crudeli di Poppi, e della processura formata contro di lui dal Tribunale del S. Ufizio di Firenze l'anno 1739", pubblicata soltanto per le cure del Becattini, ma stesa dallo stesso Crudeli insieme con Luca Antonio Corsi. La documentazione è attinta in prevalenza all'"Histoire des Inquisitions" del Goujet, integrata col ricorso ad autori come Limborch, Marsollier, Sarpi, Dellon, Lami. A ristabilire la corretta paternità del volume scalzando l'attribuzione al Rastrelli è stata in anni recenti Maria Augusta Morelli Timpanaro nel suo volume "Autori, stampatori, librai: per una storia dell'editoria in Firenze nel secolo XVIII", Firenze, Olschki, 1999; la Timpanaro ha riprodotto un brano della "Gazzetta Universale" di Firenze del 10 settembre 1782 in cui si legge: "È stata pubblicata dall'autore medesimo della Vita di Maria Teresa, e dell'Istoria Austriaca un'esatta Istoria dell'Inquisizione". Nella prefazione alla terza edizione dell'opera, uscita a Milano nel 1797, l'autore spiegò così l'assunto del suo lavoro: "Abolita per sempre dall'Imperatore Giuseppe II nel 1775 l'Inquisizione o S. Uffizio in Milano, e successivamente da Ferdinando IV di Borbone nell'Isola di Sicilia e dall'Arciduca poi Imperatore Leopoldo II Granduca di Toscana nel 1782 in Firenze, mi venne in mente di tessere il primo fra tutti gli Italiani una breve Istoria di quel terribile tribunale; non per denigrare la religione de'nostri padri, ma a solo oggetto di far vedere quanto di essa si era abusato". Moreni, I, 361. Cfr. Morelli Timpanaro. cit. e Andrea Deò Col, Osservazioni preliminari sulla storiografia dell'Inquisizione romana in Identità italiana e cattolicesimo. Una prospettiva storica, a cura di Cesare Mozzarelli, Roma, 2003, pp. 75-137. Per l'errata attribuzione al Rastrelli, Melzi, I, p. 397. Sull'autore ancora la Morelli Timpanaro, Su Francesco Becattini (1743-1813) di professione poligrafo in Archivio Storico Italiano, 1991, pp. 279-374.
