Budan, Ferdinand
Nouvelle methode pour la resolution des equations numeriques
|
Paris: Courcier, 1807. pBudan de Boislaurent, Ferdinand F. D. (fl. 1800-1853). Nouvelle methode pour la resolution des Equations numeriques d'un degre quelconque. . . . 4to. [8] 86 [2, incl. errata]pp. Paris: Courcier, 1807. 268 x 206 mm. Modern quarter morocco, marbled boards in period style. Light soiling, a few edges frayed, but very good. 19th cent. stamp of Stonyhurst College on half-title. /p#11;p First Edition. Announces Budan's independent discovery of what is now known as the rule of Budan and Fourier, which gives necessary conditions for a polynomial equation to have n real roots between two given real numbers. "The need for such a rule as his was suggested to Budan by Lagrange's Traite de la resolution des equations numeriques (1767). . . . Budan's goal was to solve Lagrange's problem-between which real numbers do real roots lie?-purely by means of elementary arithmetic. Accordingly, the chief concern of Budan's Nouvelle mEthode was to give the reader a mechanical process for calculating the coefficients of the transformed equation in (x - p). He did not appeal to the theory of finite differences or to the calculus for these coefficients, preferring to give them 'by means of simple additions and subtractions.' . . . Budan's rule remains the most convenient for computation" (DSB). /p

Dennis Jasper. [Pseudonym Charles Robert Maturin] Murphy
Fatal Revenge; or, the Family of Montorio. A Romance
|
The author's first book. From his beginnings as a Gothic novelist, Maturin was addicted to ultra-complicated plots whose dramatic commotion rivals the tangled tragedies of blood of the Elizabethan playwrights, and Jacobean melodramatists - Marlowe, Tourneur, Webster, and Chapman. The infinitely elaborate trappings of the Elizabethan revenge play seem to serve Maturin as a model for Montorio... To supplement the revenge plot, there is also plenty of monastic and inquisitional atrocity and a shrill style of poetic horror that will later become central in Melmoth the Wanderer. - Tymn (ed), Horror Literature 1-242. A remarkable novel, superior even to Melmoth the Wanderer in atmosphere and color, though very difficult to follow. - Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 1133. Barron (ed), Horror Literature 1-62. Bleiler (ed), Supernatural Fiction Writers: Fantasy and Horror, p. 164. Sullivan (ed), The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural, p. 285.

Essential knowledge for young farmers Amsterdam, J. Allart, 1807. Contemporary half calf, spine gilt. With illustrations on 5 folding engraved plates. XX, 534 pp. First Dutch edition of a popular manual for the young farmer, especially on cattle breeding, by the German author Albrecht Thaer (1752-1828). The book was adapted into Dutch by J.F. Serrurier (1771-1844), with a letter of recommendation by Jan Kops (1765-1849). Both Serrurier and Kops greatly contributed to the education of Dutch farmers in the 19th century. Serrurier edited an agrarian periodical, and Kops was the initiator of a "Flora Batava". Thaer on his part had based his book on the latest developments in English agricultural science, which at the time served as a model for Europe in this field. Good copy.- (Professionally recased, with new endpapers).

Engraved armorial bookplate of the Earl of Morley in each volume./p#11;pFirst Edition. G-M 1602.1. One of the most comprehensive works on gerontology ever written, containing a bibliography of 1800 works on aging, "supplemented by abstacts, translated excerpts from ancient authors, national data, consilia, personal communications, some gossip, and pictures of many old people" (Freeman, Aging: The History and Literature,p. 81; see also pp. 44, 53-54, 58). Sinclair, a lawyer and member of Parliament, was called "the most indefatigable man in Britain"; he wrote voluminously on many subjects, and is credited (wrongly) with introducing the word "statistics." His Code of Health was intended to form part of a massive "Codean System of Literature," in which "all knowledge was to be summarised in four departments, comprising agriculture, health, political economy, and religion" (DNB); only the first two "Codes" (agriculture and health) were published. 36433/p#11;

4to. pp. xii, 602, [2]plate list & ads. folding hand-coloured engraved map of the St. Lawrence & 27plates: 26 aquatints (6 folding) & 1 line engraving. 19th century half chagrin (bit rubbed, front joint cracked, plates offset as always, short tear in 1 plate repaired). London: Printed For Richard Phillips, 1807. First Edition. This is a variant issue, with the plates printed in black and white on thin paper, rather than in sepia on thick paper. Heriot’s position as deputy post-master general of British North America (1800-16) required that he travel extensively throughout the Canadas. As Spendlove remarks, the appointment was a fortunate one for posterity, for it was on these numerous journeys that he produced his many exquisitely fine watercolour and ink sketches, some of which form the basis of the present work. Like the majority of the topographical artists of his day, Heriot had studied under Paul Sandby at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, and was certainly one of his most accomplished pupils. Spendlove considered him to be the finest watercolourist working in Canada at the time. “Illustrated books on North America are curiously few in the period with which we deal. By far the most interesting is Heriot’s Travels Through the Canadas...interesting for its aquatints by Stadler and Lewis after Heriot.” (Prideaux) The charming plates include views of Quebec from Port Levi, the Azores, St. Paul’s Bay, Quebec from the Citadel, Quebec from Beauport, Falls of Montmorenci (two), Jeune Lorette, Falls of Chaudière, Falls of La Puce (two), Ruins of Château Richer, Lake St. Charles, River Etchemin, Bridge on the Jacques Cartier, Montreal from the Mountain, Cascades of the St. Lawrence, Fort of Niagara, Whirlpool of the Saint Lawrence, Falls of Niagara (two), Grande Chaudière on the Outaouais River, and depictions of French Canadian dancing (two), an Indian encampment, and Indian costume. Besides being “the earliest and the most important aquatint book published on Canada” (Hill), Heriot’s book provides one of the best contemporary accounts of the Loyalist settlements in Canada as well as much interesting information on the fur trade, travels in the North, the cod fisheries, &c. The second part of the work contains a detailed description of American Indian cultures, largely derived from the works of Lafitau, Lahontan, and others, as well as from Jesuit manuscripts at Montreal. Included is Father Rasle’s vocabulary of the Algonquin languages. Dionne II 934. Field 687 (24 plates). Gagnon I 1657. Hill pp. 142-43. Lande 433. Morgan p. 184. Pilling, Algonquian, p. 229.

Dorsi a nervetti decorati in oro con titolo e segnatura di volume in oro su due tasselli, uno rosso e uno verde; filetti e decori floreali e vegetali dorati entro scomparti.

Il set è conservato entro una custodia moderna in tela e cartone. Piccoli rinforzi alle cerniere. Ottimo stato. Alcune firme di possesso. Riedizione di questo classico della storiografia inglese del XIX secolo (apparso dapprima in sei volumi tra il 1828 e il 1840), considerato al contempo un "classic of the English language. It is commended to the general reader no less by an impartial admiration for the heroes on both sides than by the spontaneity of its style. Its accuracy was the more firmly established by the inevitable attacks of actors in the scenes described, who thought the parts they had played undervalued." (D.N.B.). La Guerra d'indipendenza spagnola narrata nella presente opera (Peninsular War per i britannici) fu il più grande conflitto delle guerre napoleoniche, combattuto nella penisola iberica da una alleanza di Spagna, Portogallo e Regno Unito contro il Primo Impero francese. La guerra ebbe inizio quando l'esercito francese occupò la Spagna nel 1808 e terminò nel 1814 con la sconfitta delle truppe napoleoniche ma con il totale dissesto dell'economia di Spagna e Portogallo, crisi che portò ad un periodo di guerre civili fra liberalismo ed assolutismo protrattosi fino al 1850 e all'indipendenza dalla Spagna delle antiche Colonie spagnole d'America e del Brasile dal Portogallo. Sir William Francis Patrick Napier (Celbridge, Dublino, 1785-Clapham, Londra, 1860), generale irlandese al servizio dell'esercito britannico e storico militare, era il terzo figlio del colonnello George Napier (1751-1804); la presente opera, suo capolavoro, è il frutto in parte della sua diretta esperienza di generale nel corso della Peninsular War e in parte di informazioni che l'autore ricevette direttamente dal Duca di Wellington e dal maresciallo Nicolas Jean de Dieu Soult."As a military historian Sir William Napier is incomparably superior to any other English writer [He] always wrote as if he was burning with an inextinguishable desire to express what he was feeling, which gives his style a peculiar spontaneity, and yet he rewrote the first volume of his History no less than six times. His descriptions of sieges and of battles are admirable by themselves, and his analyses of the peculiarly intricate Spanish intrigues are even more remarkable, while the descriptions and analyses are both lit up by flashes of political wisdom and military insight. It is to be noted that he displays the spirit of the partisan, even when most impartial, and defends his opinions, even when most undoubtedly true, as if he were arguing some controverted question The portraits of Sir John Moore and Colonel M?Leod, and the last paragraphs descriptive of the storming of Badajoz, may be taken as examples of his great natural eloquence."

|
Berlin, Johann Friedrich Unger, 1807. - Seltene erste deutsche Ausgabe dieses berühmten Liebes- und Italienromans, "für eine romantische und leidenschaftliche Generation das Buch einer idealen Liebe. Auch auf die deutschen Romantiker machte das Werk Eindruck; es wurde unmittelbar nach Erscheinen (noch im Jahr der französischen Erstausgabe!) von Dorothea Schlegel übersetzt" (KNLL). Der Roman, der sein Entstehen einer Italienreise und der Liebesbeziehung der Mme de Staël zu dem jungen Diplomaten Pierre de Souza-Holstein verdankt, ist in der Charakterisierung der Hauptpersonen stark autobiographisch. Hier, wie auch in der 1802 erschienenen ‚Delphine‘, protestiert die Autorin gegen die soziale Benachteiligung der Frauen, vertritt ihr Recht auf Liebe außerhalb der Ehe sowie ihren Anspruch auf geistige Ebenbürtigkeit. Eigentlich sollte August Wilhelm Schlegel, der seit 1804 bei Madame de Stael in Diensten stand, den Roman übersetzen. Er überließ es jedoch seinem Bruder Friedrich, der den Auftrag sofort annahm, da er wieder einmal in Geldnöten steckte. Die Arbeit aber hatte Dorothea: Sie erhielt von der Autorin direkt das korrigierte und umgeschriebene Originalmanuskript bogenweise zugeschickt und war damit "von Morgen bis Abend" beschäftigt - während sich Friedrich bei seinem Bruder und Madame de Stael aufhielt. Dorothea hat sich wegen der "fabrikmäßigen Behandlung" des Textes gelegentlich skeptisch über die Qualität ihrer Arbeit geäußert. Die Lorbeeren jedoch heimste Friedrich Schlegel ein: ein Rezensent fand die Übersetzung "so, wie man sie von einem so gewandten, kenntnisreichen Schriftsteller erwarten kann, d.h. vortrefflich".– Nur leicht stockfleckig. Exlibris Jean Fürstenberg. – Goed. VI 28, 4 und VII 679, 310, 7a. Fromm VI 24662 (Titel ungenau zitiert). Borst 1062.

"HEGEL, G. W. F."
"Wissenschaft der Logik."
|
"Octavo, 3 volumes: 334pp, 282pp, 403 pp. Rare complete set of the first edition of Hegel's Scienceof Logic. First two volumes (which together make up ""die objektive Logik"") are in contemporary paper-covered boards, with handwritten paper labels on the spines. The third volume (""Wissenschaft der subjectiven Logik, oder die Lehre vom Begriff"") is in a later 19th Century binding of marbled paper over boards and embossed leather label on the spine, bound to a slightly smaller height than the others. The Science of Logic is the first statement of Hegel's mature systematic philosophy, building on the 1807 publication of the Phaenomenologie des Geistes. The delights of Hegel’s Logic will come as a surprise to most readers who wouldn’t normally consider reading a book containing the ""L"" word in its title – an intellectual tour de force on the order of another great and utterly gratifying read the same class of reader would typically eschew for a similar reason: Spinoza’s Ethica ordine geometrica demonstrata. The set is lightly edgeworn, but otherwise quite lovely. Housed in custom half-morocco clamshell box."

CERATI, Gregorio.
Poetry by the bishop of Piecenza La genesi. Versione di Monsignor D. Gregorio Cerati gia Vescovo di Piacenza.
|
Parma, Tipi Bodoniani, 1807.. 8vo. Original boards covered with yellow sprinkled paper; red sprinkled edges. (2), LX, (2), 260, (3) pp.. Original, only and elegant edition of this posthumously published poetical work by the bishop of Piacenza. The book opens with an extensive dedicatory letter by the editor, the bishop's nephew Antonio Cerati to Giambatista Bodoni (p. I-LIX), also containing a description of the life of Gregorio Cerati. Antonio was professor and later president of the University of Parma and therefore Bodoni was hardly in the position that he could refuse to print these poems.Cerati (Parma 1730-Piazenza 1807) who was created bishop of Piacenza by Ferdinando di Bordone in 1783, composed his work on the origin of the world in Italian 'terze rime', at the instigation of the poet Prospero Manara and although the poems were eulogized very much by famous Italian poets as Frugione and A. Mazza, Cerati didn't want to have them printed before his death. Very good copy. De Lama 175; Brooks 1018; Vita Bodoni , p. 175; Giani, Cat ., p. 72, Nr. 180; Bodoni: quand la simplicite devient art (Brussels 2000), Nr. 50; cf.: Bodoni: l'invenzione della semplicita (Parma 1990), p. 171, note 57; Diz. biogr. degli Ital. , 23, p. 666-8.
