In 1767 he went to St Petersburg and began to conduct research in Russia. He was an eminent botanist, zoologist and geographer, and "sought to advance from merely describing nature to finding the causal interrelationships and hidden regularities of natural phenomena." Darwin acknowledged his work to have been influential in the development of evolutionary ideas (DSB).In the years 1768 to 1774 Pallas joined so-called "academic expeditions" which traversed the Russian Empire from West to East and explored the Zhiguli Mountains and the Southern Urals, the steppes of Western Siberia and the Altay, Lake Baikal, and the mountains of Transbaikalia. He studied flora and fauna, landscape, geological condition, local population and culture. His findings were published in Reise durch verschiedenen Provinzen des russischen Reichs (3 volumes, St Petersburg 1771-1776).Please notify before visiting to see a book. Prices are excl.

A coherent collection of printed papers, depositions and reports, all Court of Session papers, concerning a major legal dispute between the Royal Bank of Scotland and the Greenock Banking Company All privately printed for the Court of Session without printers' names, and all dated 1794 or 1795. All 4to., various paginations as below, occasional very minor marks and trivial blemishes, bound into a single volume, in contemporary half calf over marbled boards, the sides generally rather worn, neatly rebacked and labelled. In very good state of preservation, although one printed leaf missing in item 8. An apparently (probably) very rare complete collection of the Court of Session papers relating to the Royal Bank of Scotland's civil action against the Greenock Banking Company. The Greenock Banking Company, established in 1785, was Greenock's first and only bank until 1802. It was never very successful, however, and failed in 1842 when its business was acquired by the Western Bank of Scotland (est. 1832) of Glasgow. The problem that arose in the early 1790s, and culminated in an expensive and protracted hearing in the Edinburgh Court of Session (the Scottish Supreme Court), related to the Royal Bank's arrangements for inter-bank accounting and, once or twice weekly note exchange with the Greenock Banking Company, otherwise known as Dunlop, Houston, Gammill and Company, Bankers in Greenock. The papers in this collection comprise: 1.

Assemblée Coloniale de l'Isle de France. Séance du 17 Brumaire au Matin, 3me. Année de la Republique.rapport fair a l'assemblée coloniale de l'Isle de Fance, au Sujet de St. Félix, Duplessis, Tyrol, Tessan, Fayol, Marcenay, Grangier, Tous Arretés a l'Isle de la Réunion, par les commissaires de la chaumière, & détenus és prisons de la place [caption title] 1794 - 28pp. Small quarto. Stitched as issued. Contemporary notation on first page, some contemporary underlining in text. Minor soiling. Very good. A remarkable early imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius, also known as the Ile de France, in the south Indian Ocean. The text contains a report of the French Revolutionary Committee of Public Safety regarding prisoners arrested on the island of Réunion being held as enemies of the Revolution. The document was printed in the capital, Port Louis, which was called Port de la Montagne from 1792 to 1795. The Dutch were the first Europeans to become interested in the island, taking possession in 1598. After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton, in 1710 the Dutch abandoned the colony. The French soon claimed it as "Ile de France," and the island remained under the control of the French East India Company until 1767. During the long war between France and England at the beginning of the 19th century, Mauritius proved to be an important strategic naval base, and as a result the British took charge of the island in 1810, and the Treaty of Paris confirmed official British possession in 1814. It remained an important sugar producing colony, and in the 20th century agricultural production was expanded to include tea, rice, and other produce. Printing began on Mauritius in 1768. During the French period, until 1810, only about 400 imprints were produced, mostly in the form of official documents and newspapers, though there are also almanacs and a few other items. All are quite rare. No copies located in OCLC; Toussaint locates a copy at the Archives Nationales in Paris. Toussaint A247. [Bookseller: Donald A. Heald Rare Books (ABAA)]

IL GIARDINO BEVILACQUA. Descrizione. Giuseppe Rinaldi,: Ferrara, 1794. Ferrara Giuseppe Rinaldi, 1794. The gardens of Bevilacqua were created in the 1780s for the palace of the marquis Camillo Bevilacqua of Ferrara . The 4 hectare site was located within the city and laid out by the local architect Luigi Cosimo Bertelli. The square site was surrounded by a high wall that enclosed numerous ornamental structures and decorative sculptures, including a Neptune fountain, a grove with four temples, a spa, theatre, greenhouse, aviary, maze and a small hill with a coffee house at its top. In addition to its botanical garden the site was also well known for a large collection of citrus trees.A main avenue was adorned with 100 marble statues. Most of these, however, were removed, and the rest of the gardens pillaged, when Napoleon invaded Ferrara in 1796. Further destruction occurred in the mid-nineteenth century when the property was purchased by the Count Francesco Massari and the grounds were transformed into an English garden. Renamed as parco Massari, they became a public park in 1936. Campi was a local abbot and frequent visitor to the gardens, and we can thank him for leaving us such a detailed account of this significant garden, recorded at the short-lived moment of its greatest interest. Scarce; OCLC locates only 4 copies (BL, Getty, Michigan State Univ. and the bibliothek de Universitat der Kunste).

Napoleone e' ormai in Italia, i grandi riformatori hanno scritto le loro opere maggiormente significative, il diritto di punire e' stato spostato dalla vendetta del sovrano alla difesa della societa' (cfr. Foucault, Sorvegliare e punire, p. 98), eppure le voci tortura e tormento occupano gran parte del sommario e i riferimenti giuridici sono Farinacei, Pellegrini.

In this book, in a form of environmental monogenism, Sibly claimed that the White Race was the first on earth: "We must consider white as the stock whence all others have sprung, Adam and Eve and all their posterity, till the time of the deluge were white; in the first age of the world no black nation was to be found on the face of the earth." Sibly believed that humans had not reached Africa until after the dispersal from the Tower of Babel, that the continent's first inhabitants had been white, and that Africans had become dark only as a result of climate.

Manuscript Document - Conditions of Sales for the D'Aywiers Abbey of Rognon - Text in French Belgium, 1794. [Nevilles] Belgium, 7 November 1794. An historically significant manuscript document composed by Belgian magistrate Jean-Baptiste Hauchamps, presenting the conditions of sale for the D'Aywiers Abbey in the fief of Rognon (now the commune of Rebecq), a transaction involving the abbey's last abbess Claire Joseph Demarbaix. Text is in French. Folio. 40 pages, nearly complete, very detailed. Ten double leafs, laid watermarked paper measuring approximately 20 x 31 cm. Indication of moisture to upper portion, otherwise in very good condition, beautifully preserved, clean and bright. Then within the boundaries of the Duchy of Brabant, under Austrian rule, the abbey was nationalized on 15 January 1788, and Demarbaix, the 55th abbess of Nivelles, was notified the definitive suppression of the religious chapter. Undoubtedly, some disputing and negotiation must have occurred, but, as seen herein, the abbey would fall victim to the suppression of monastic societies enforced in the French Revolution, and was put up for sale in 1794, The abbey subsequently took a lamentable turn circa 1796, after being sold. as it was substantially deconstructed for the sale of the raw materials. As such, this document is conceivably the final description of its stateliness while in Belgian hands. Conclusively delineating the expansive land and numerous buildings of the Aywiers Abbey, spanning 2,00 acres in the valley of Lasne, as it stood sublime during its final days as a Belgian possession, this is a scarce primary source description, perhaps the only one of its kind, from which could be produced a reasonably accurate plan. A thorough two part manuscript document, which ultimately marks the imminent dissolution of one of Belgium's ancient and burgeoning Cistercian monasteries, the Aywiers Abbey founded in 1215 is herein offered for sale to bidders near six centuries later for 160,000 French livres. [One livre was equivalent to one pound of silver]. An acceptable currency for payment was also the continental florin. Detailed conditions of the sale are outlined, the sellers hoping to maintain the integrity of the premises and to honour the tenants' rights with their holdings. Especially important is the detailed partitioning of grounds, including orchards, farms, homesteads, pastures, and the 'Commanderie de Vaillampont [Lodge and land of the Knights Templar near Nivelles], which would begin to change after its change of hands. Land measurements are in ancient terms, naturally, being verge (virgate, yardland) and journal /journaux [A journal denoted the amount of land that a man could work in one day (jour), and varied from region to region]. Aywiers' last abbess, Dame Claire Joseph Demarbaix, (10 Nov 1740 - 20 Sep 1820), who bore the title of Lady of Aywiers, and Lord of Maransart and Couture, played an integral part in the sale transaction. Her specific roles are described throughout the document, which was created by a magistrate from the nearby town of Nevilles, Jean-Baptiste Hauchamps. The latter would also personally collect funds from the buyer. Following the occupation of French troops during the French Revolution, abbess Demarbaix fled to Fauquez (Ittre) to seek refuge. Demarbaix was born at Silly (Opzullik), and died at Fauquez in Ittre. Eight other nuns from Aywiers took refuge in the castle of La Motte, where four of them died between 1797 and 1803. A foremost tenant mentioned frequently in the text was a Belgian Lord named Charles Joseph de Bomal, born 24 July 1719 in Ittre. Other tenants listed include Jean Joseph Leroy, Pierre Charlier, a nun last name Grousvet(?), Jean Wittebor de Baulers, and a citizen referred to only as Duchesne. Excerpts from the manuscript: "Conditions suivant lesquelles cejoud'hui Septième du mois de novembre mille Sept Cent quattrevingt quattorze La Réverende Dame Clare Demarbaix Abbesse du monastère D'Aaywiers fait exposer en vente publique, argent courant et en numeraires metalliques, aux plus offrant et derniers eneherisseurs, par le ministre du procureur Hauchamps son commis et en prèsence des Echevins du fief de Rognon, et la fin dénommés et signés... obtenu au Conseil de Brabant, paraphé Limp.

Remy Leblan de la Barrière de Sept-Douleurs... " End excerpts. Aywiers Abbey was founded in 1215 by Cistercian nuns who had previously been located at Lillois near Nivelles, and prior to that at Awirs near Liége (les Awirs). With donations from Brussels' nobility, the abbey expanded to 2000 hectares, an estate formed of several magnificent orchards, as well as farms, barns, mills, sheepfolds and collieries. During the French revolution, the abbey was sold. The purchaser deconstructed some of the buildings in order to sell the materials, although still today the abbey retains its charm together with a pseudo-mysterious attractive ambiance. The Abbey's aromatic and medicinal plant garden has been recreated, with hundreds of trees, shrubs and rare plants having been planted to return the spot to its former glory. Surrounded by the original ancient walls, today the garden is situated in the centre of the former Abbey. An English-style parkland, planted in the last century, boasts superb hundred-year-old tree specimens. And, during the past fifteen years, the Aywiers Gardens Association has worked diligently to restore the garden. Belgian nobles, Cistercian nuns, Nivelles magistrates, and surely many other persons of interest are asociated with the abbey, many as tneants. the Flemish patron saint of Flanders, Lutgarde or Saint Lutgardis of Aywières, lived at Aywiers Abbey for 40 years, and is believed to have performed a number of miracles. Dame Claire, dernière abbesse d'Aywiers (Lasne), communauté cistercienne, qui suite à l'occupation par les troupes républicaines françaises, s'était refugiée à Fauquez. Le 09.12.1819 Demarbaix fit don au nom de la communauté à l'église paroissiale d'Ittre de la châsse avec reliques de Sainte-Lutgarde (° Tongres 1182 + Aywiers 1246) et la châsse de Sybille de Cages. Nivelles developed around a powerful abbey. Most of the further historical developments in Nivelles were caused by the struggle of the inhabitants of the town against the power of the almighty abbess. In the early Middle-Ages, Brabant was part of the Merovingian kingdom of Austrasia (511-751). Most of the power in the kingdom was exerted by the maire du palais (Mayor of the Palace). A document dated circa 1075 mentions for the first time a Corps of Aldermen (Échevins). This seems to be the first time the inhabitants of Nivelles challenged the abbess' absolute power over the town. Around 1035, the Knight Templars were granted 530 ha in Vaillampont, near Thines, and founded there a commandery. In 1262, the commune of Nivelles revolted against the abbess, but the revolt was promptly suppressed. In 1778, Empress Maria-Theresa of Austria (reigned 1740-1780) granted Nivelles new municipal statutes. This was the last round in the struggle between the abbess and the burghers of the town. Maria-Theresa's son, Emperor Joseph II (1765-1790) decided to get rid of the "unnecessary" religious orders. On 15 January 1788, the 55th abbess of Nivelles was notified the definitive suppression of the abbey chapter and the abbey was nationalized. . Very Good.

Azeredo Coutinho advocates increased trade between Portugal and Brazil and the building of factories there rather than in Portugal. His work is important because Portugal had allowed little to be published about her colonies until this time. According to the preface of the English translation, London 1801 (and several later reissues), this first edition went out of print almost immediately and was very difficult to find.Pages 133-53 comprise Azeredo Coutinho's @Memoria sobre o preso do asucar, originally published by the Academia das Sciencias in 1791, and revised for inclusion with the @Ensaio. It deals with the price of sugar from Portugal's colonies in Brazil, Africa and the East, and its relation to the world-wide sugar market. This was of special concern to Europeans, since the revolutions in the French colonies had caused reductions in supplies and sharp increases in price. This section did not appear in the English translation.@@@Azeredo Coutinho (1742-1821), a native of Rio de Janeiro, was one of the most influential Brazilian writers of his time, a leading figure in the Brazilian Enlightenment, and "the greatest reactionary of his time" (Borba). He served as Archdeacon of Rio de Janeiro, Bishop of Pernambuco and Inquisitor General in Portugal.---- Borba de Moraes (1983) I, 228-9: "This is the best known work by Azeredo Coutinho ? scarce"; calling for only (2 ll.), iii, 153 pp. See also Borba de Moraes (1958) I, 192: "The first edition figures as 'very rare' in the auction catalogue of Jaime Muniz (Lisbon 1922)."

An Accurate Map of the Islands & Channels between China and New Holland London: R. Wilkinson, 1 January, 1794. Engraved map, 265 x 338mm., contemporary handcolouring, a fine copy with the early manuscript numeral "42" in ink to lower right margin. Marvellous map, the companion to Wilkinson's map of the east coast of Australia. This map of South-East Asia is rather usefully designed to show the islands between the Torres Strait in the bottom right and Canton at top right, giving an overview of the waters which were seeing the beginnings of what would become the established China/India to New Holland trade with its famous waterways such as the Straits of Sunda and Malacca, and the Sulu Sea. In fact, as an introduction to this burgeoning trade, the map could scarcely be bettered.The map was originally included in Robert Wilkinson's A General Atlas, being A Collection of Maps of the World (1794).
