Tokyo: Kumazawa Kitarō 熊澤喜太郎, Meiji 31-32 [1898-1899]. Tokyo: Kumazawa Kitarō 熊澤喜太郎. Meiji 31-32 [1898-1899].. 18 colour lithographs in Japanese accordion album, patterned cloth covered boards. Folded leaves opening in a few places, lightly creased at the lower lower of two pages. 21.5 x 14.5cm. This item is an album containing 18 lithograph (hand-coloured) prints, each of which depicts a small child at play. The artist who was also the publisher of this album was Kumazawa Kitarō 熊澤喜太郎 who was a lithographer and publisher. Kumazawa Kitarō specialised in depicting beautiful ladies and small children. We have been able to find work by Kumazawa from Meiji 21 (1888) and his work appears to have been popular however we have not been able to find details about his life or when he died. At this time during the Meiji Era (1887-97) lithographs were very popular in Japan due it seems to the more realistic representations used. In fact their popularity was such that they took quite a share of the woodblock print market at the time. Playful children, such as those in this album, were a particularly popular topic for these lithographs. The children depicted here are engaged in various activities. Titles of the plates are: Oman-chan おまんちゃん [Little Oman (girl's name?]; Okagura おかぐら [Festival Dancing]; Mizu-asobi 水遊 [Playing with Water]; Tonosama とのさま [Feudal lord]; Okeiku おけいく [Practice?]; Fūsen ふうせん [Balloon]; Jitenshiya じてんしや [Bicycle]; Teasobi-du てあそびづ [?]; Akachiyan あかちやん [Baby]; Botsuchiyan ぼつちやん [Boy]; Otenarai おてならい [Learning Writing]; Matan'ya またんや [?]; Neko-asobi ねこあそび [Playin … [Click Below for Full Description]

London: Leonard Smithers, 1898. First Edition. FIRST EDITION, one of only 800 copies (out of a total edition of 830) printed on handmade paper. "Convicted in 1895 of a grave offense against morality, Wilde was imprisoned for two years. A literary result of this imprisonment was the most powerful of his poems, The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898)..." (New International Encyclopedia). "Wilde began to write [The Ballad of Reading Gaol] at the end of May, the month in which he was released, completing it in October, and seeing it published by Smithers in February 1898, initially signed C. 3. 3. Its theme was the man hanged in Reading while Wilde was there... With high dramatic sense Wilde turned the sufferings of all the other convicts into a subordinate but supportive chorus. The poem made no denial of guilt, although its hanged prisoner ultimately suffered more than the rest, and embodied their agonies more intensely. The Ballad followed the advice of De Profundis to Douglas, and sustained itself by love, ultimately the redeeming love of Christ, rather than hatred of custodians... Hatred of the prison system and of the human oppression that created it animated the Ballad: but the poem confronted that cruelty with the love of Christ against which it offended. Chesterton would see the Ballad as 'a cry for common justice and brotherhood very much deeper, more democratic' than the most radical protest of the age (G. K. Chesterton, Victorian Age in Literature [1913], 227)" (Dictionary of National Biography). London: Leonard Smithers, 1898.

Internally clean and fine. ¶ First full exposition of Röntgen's discovery of X-rays, the foundation stones of roentgenology, unveiling a new form of matter and offering a new revolutionary method for medical diagnosis.In order to ensure priority for his discovery, Röntgen first published the two first papers (Erste-Zweite Mittheilung) as offprints from "Sitzungsberichte der Physikalisch-medicinischen Gesellschaft zu Würtzburg" in 1895-96, but his discovery only finds its full form in the offered papers, as "Dritte Mittheilung" appears here."Aside from its obvious applications, Roentgen's discovery galvanized the world of physics and led to a rash of further discoveries that so completely overturned the old concepts of the science, that the discovery of X-rays is sometimes considered the first stroke of the Second Scientific Revolution. (The First Scientific Revolution is, of course that which included Galileo and his experiments on falling bodies). Within a matter of months, investigations of X rays led to the discovery of radioactivity by Becquerel....The importence of the discovery was well recognized in its own time. In 1896 Roentgen shared the Rumford Medal with Lenard and in 1901, when Nobel Prizes were set up.the first to be honoured with a Nobel Prize in Physi … [Click Below for Full Description]

(One Hundred Books Famous in Medicine 86). "Pavlov summarized his experiments in a series of lectures given in 1896 and published in Russian the following year. A German translation appeared in 1898 and an English one in 1902. For his work on physiology of digestion Pavlov was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1904." (One Hundred Books Famous in Medicine 86). "Scientific Research In the years 1891-1903, Pavlov concentrated on the studies of the digestive system that were systematized in his Lectures on the Work of the Main Gastric Glands (1897) and won him a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (1904). In this research, Pavlov's "physiological thinking" was embodied in the "chronic experiment," and his analysis of data was structured by his metaphor of the digestive system as a precise and purposive chemical factory. For the chronic experiment, experimental dogs were prepared surgically with an operation designed to give the experimenter access to a digestive gland. Experiments began only after the dog had recovered and regained a "normal" state. … [Click Below for Full Description]

Light soiling throughout. 232 pp. + 47 pictures on XVI plates. ¶ First Russian translation of Darwin's theory on Pangenesis, Darwin's hypothetical mechanism for heredity, originally published in 1868 in " The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication".The pangenesis theory, similar to Hippocrates's views on the topic, imply that the whole of parental organisms participate in heredity (thus the prefix pan) while adapting to cell theory. Much of Darwin's model was speculatively based on inheritance of tiny heredity particles he called gemmules that could be transmitted from parent to offspring. Darwin emphasized that only cells could regenerate new tissues or generate new organisms. He posited that atomic sized gemmules formed by cells would diffuse and aggregate in the reproductive organs.

"The Vineyard" Hotel, Cape Town, no date [but early March 1898]. 8vo. 1 page. Matted and framed, with a print of William Strang's pencil portrait of the author. On Winter holiday in Cape Town, to Sir Alfred Milner, High Commissioner of British South Africa, shortly before Kipling's departure for Bulawayo in Zimbabwe, the former capital of the dispossessed Ndebele king which Cecil Rhodes had insisted that Kipling visit. Kipling apologizes that he and his wife cannot come that day but promises to come on the following day, and facetiously fabricates an (unpublished) South African variation on a verse from Matthew Arnold's poem "In Memory of the Author of 'Obermann'": "Dear Sir Alfred Milner / I am so sorry we can't come this afternoon but we shall be delighted to come tomorrow. I go up to Bulawayo on Friday and I wanted to see you very much before I went. Very sincerely, Rudyard Kipling. // But those brought forth on state affairs / Where Boer & Briton frown - / What shelter for a talk is theirs / What leisure to sit down? // I have not my Arnold by me just at present and I may have misquoted." - Trace of a minor horizontal fold. Not published in The Letters of Rudyard Kipling.

"The History of England from the Accession of James the Second is the full title of the multi-volume work by Lord Macaulay more generally known as 'The History of England'.

This model of human progress has been called the Whig interpretation of history. Macaulay's approach has been criticised by later historians for its one-sidedness and its complacency. His tendency to see history as a drama led him to treat figures whose views he opposed as if they were villains, while his approved characters were presented as heroes.

En 1898 on le retrouve pensionnaire à Paris au lycée Voltaire, puis à Brest où il prépare le le concours d'entrée à l'École navale, mais il y renonce préférant poursuivre des études littéraires. Il tente deux fois de passer le concours d'entrée à l'École Normale Supérieure mais il échoue.En 1910, on le retrouve chroniqueur littéraire à Paris-Journal. Il commence à publier quelques poèmes, essais, ou contes, qui connaissent quelque succès. Il rencontre alors plusieurs grands peintres et écrivains de son temps : Maurice Denis, André Gide, Paul Claudel, André Suarès et Jacques Copeau, et se lie d'une grande amitié avec Charles Péguy. Présenté par ce dernier à Claude Casimir-Perier, le fils de lancien président de la République, il en devient son secrétaire. Mais surtout il élabore lentement l'œuvre qui le rendra célèbre : Le Grand Meaulnes, paru en novembre 1913 chez Émile-Paul.

Kegan Paul Trench Trubner & Co., London, 1898. Hardcover. Small quarto. viii + 90pp. Original brick-red paper-covered boards with white cloth spine and paper title label. According to Duncombe-Jewell the edition comprised 250 cloth-bound copies on hand-made paper (as this copy), and 2 copies on vellum. There are 3 known binding variants of the hand-made paper edition which have, respectively, dull-green, slate-blue, and - as this copy - brick-red paper covered boards. The order of precedence has never been established although they were most likely published simultaneously. A story in verse, "The Tale of Archais" is commonly said to be Crowley's second published book following "Aceldama," although uncertainty remains as to whether or not his clandestinely-published "White Stains" preceded it. Crowley issued "The Tale of Archais" under the pseudonym "A Gentleman of the University of Cambridge," the same nom de plume that he had used for "Aceldama." The choice of pseudonym was most likely a sort of hommage to Shelley, who wrote his gothic novel "St. Irvyne; or, The Rosicrucian, A Romance," under the nom de plume "A Gentleman of the University of Oxford," although Crowley may well have been aware of early uses of the "Cambridge" version, including by the author of a history of tobacco.

Seit 1894 pflegte Hartleben meist über München (Nockherberg, Anstich Salvatorbier) und Bozen (»Batzenhäusl«) nach Florenz, Venedig und Rom zu reisen, um dort die Sommermonate zu verbringen. In Rom fand der Dichter stets Quartier nahe der Fontana Trevi, Via de' Crociferi 3 (3. Stock; bei Falchetti), und traf sich mit einem festen Freundeskreis deutscher Künstler. Als passionierter Hobbyfotograf hielt er Stationen und Freunde in Bildern fest. - Einige der hier vorhandenen Aufnahmen zeigen ihn selbst, aufgenommen von Reisebegleitern und -begegnungen. Im einzelnen finden sich desweiteren Porträts von seiner Frau Selma, Friedrich Freiherr von Khaynach (Maler und Schriftsteller; 1867-1920), Fritz Schwarz (genannt: »Nero«, Verleger und Inhaber der Münchner Fa.

" - In l'Aurore, Paris 13 Janvier 1898, 46x72cm, en feuilles. - Edition originale de ce historique article marquant l'entrée en politique des intellectuels.L'éditorial de Zola et le procès qui s'en suivit, sans lequel Dreyfus n'aurait sans doute jamais été réhabilité, marqua un tournant fondamental dans l'histoire de l'engagement politique des intellectuels et l'utilisation des médias comme contre-pouvoir. Si le courage de Zola est inspiré des grandes prises de positions politiques de Victor Hugo, l'importance historique de son geste tient surtout à ses conséquences inédites : Révision du procès, dénonciation publique de l'antisémitisme du pouvoir militaire, création de La ligue des Droits de l'Homme. Le quatrième pouvoir vient d'acquérir ses lettres de noblesse !Petites déchirures marginales habilement restaurées affectant les pages intérieures avec infimes manques de lettres sur les premières lignes des articles de la page 3 du journal mais sans atteinte à la ""Une"", très légères rousseurs angulaires sans gravité sur la Une.Rare et agréable exemplaire. - Photos sur www.Edition-originale.com - [AUTOMATIC ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS] " In l'Aurore Paris _13 Janvier 1898 46x72cm en feuilles

Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1898. MacDougall, W. B. (William Brown). Small quarto. (55)pp. Eight woodcut illustrations and each page with black floral borders. A fine rendering of John Keats's poem adapted from Boccacio's Decameron. In it, a young woman engaged to marry a nobleman falls in love with a commoner. When her brothers discover their relationship, they murder the commoner. Isabella learns of their crime in a dream, and, distraught, exhumes the body and buries the head in the titular pot of basil, over which she perpetually weeps. This version is sumptuously illustrated with black borders and romantic imagery of Isabella, her lover, her brothers, and their lush countryside. The effect is pleasingly nostalgic, matching the sympathy of Keats's poem. Bound in green cloth over boards with rich gilt tooling to spine and upper cover. Minor general wear to exterior, including three red blotches to lower cover. Overall, a near fine copy with a clean interior.
