ROGUES DE FURSAC Joseph
        Les écrits et les dessins dans les maladies nerveuses et mentales (essai clinique).
      Paris, Masson et Cie, 1905 - Paris, Masson et Cie, 1905 ; 1 vol. in-8 (22 x 15 cm), X, 306, (1) pp., 232 figures dans le texte ; demi-basane verte de l'époque, dos lisse orné au chiffre P.S. gravé en queue, dos uniformément insolé, coiffes frottées et petite épidermure en tête du plat supérieur, mors fendus en tête et en queue, bord des feuillets légèrement bruni, assez bon état. Édition originale très rare de ce livre novateur. C'est l'un des deux ouvrages précurseurs sur le sujet, avec celui de Marcel Réja -pseudonyme de Paul Meunier- (Brenot, Le génie et la folie en peinture, musique, littérature, p. 160). Il est bien antérieur à à la publication (en 1922) du célèbre livre de Hans Prinzhorn. Il est divisé en trois parties : considérations générales sur les écrits pathologiques ; les écrits dans les diverses maladies nerveuses et mentales ; les dessins. Joseph Rogues de Fursac (1872-1942) fut médecin adjoint à Clermont de l'Oise puis à l'hôpital militaire de Ville-Evrard. Il est considéré, notamment par Biéder (Dictionnaire biographique : Joseph Rogues de Fursac (1872-1942), Ann medico-psychologiques, 2007, 165, 225-229) comme un pionnier à la fois de la graphologie médicale et de l'étude de l'art psychopathologique. Rogues de Fursac montre que l'étude des écrits et des dessins peut constituer une étape supplémentaire dans l'examen des malades mentaux. Il introduit l'épreuve de l'écriture calligraphique qui lui sert plus particulièrement à mettre en relief les troubles les plus marqués de la fonction motrice (observés dans l'ataxie, la sclérose en plaques, "la paralysie agitante", etc.). Cet ouvrage eut aussi une grande influence sur les surréalistes, notamment sur Breton et Eluard, ayant constitué leur source médicale principale pour la rédaction des "Possessions" (AM Amiot, Le Surréaliste et son psy, pp. 50-60, 65, 68 ; P Scopelliti & R Dadoun, L'influence du surréalisme sur la psychanalyse, pp. 82-84 ; H Béhar, Le surréalisme et la science, pp. 66, 74). Cette forme d'expression s'inscrit dans ce qui deviendra l'art brut et sera utilisé à des fins psychothérapeutiques (art-thérapie). © S.A.S. Jean-Pierre Aubert, 2015.

        Fuji San
      PONTING, Herbert G. Fuji San photographed by Herbert G Ponting. [3] pp., 25 collotype plates, 1 folding. Oblong folio, 373 x 253 mm, in original illustrated paper covers. In a new tan cloth folding box. Tokyo: K. Ogawa, 1905. |~| |~||~||~||~| A very scarce collection of photographs published by Ogawa Kazuma, who was himself one of the leading photographers in Japan at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. One of his main achievements was to develop the collotype as a means of attaining a wider audience than was obtainable through the souvenir albums that were so popular at the time. Herbert Ponting, the photographer, is perhaps best known for his photographs of the 1910 Antarctic Expedition, but he lived in Japan from 1901 to 1906 resulting in at least two books. Only four copies of this book are recorded in OCLC. Very slight soiling, but overall in excellent condition.

Fleming, John Ambrose
        On the conversion of electric oscillations into continuous currents by means of a vacuum valve.
      London 1905 - The Beginning of ElectronicsFleming, John Ambrose (1849-1945). On the conversion of electric oscillations into continuous currents by means of a vacuum valve. In Proceedings of the Royal Society. 74 (1905): 476-487. Whole volume, 8vo. [66, variously paginated], 580pp. Plates, text illustrations. Later library buckram, very minor rubbing and wear. Book-label and stamps of the Liverpool Athenaeum.First Edition. Flemings paper introducing the basic principle of the two-electrode vacuum tube or diode marked the beginning of electronics. Before the development of the transistor the vacuum tube became the first switch used in the earliest electronic computers. Using vacuum tubes as switches, the first general purpose electronic computer, the ENIAC, operated 10,000 times the speed of a human computer. By comparison, the Harvard Mark 1, which used electromechnical relays as switches, computed 100 times the speed of a human computer. An electrical engineer and physicist who had worked with Thomas Edison's company in London, and a consultant to Guglielmo Marconi, Fleming invented and patented the two-electrode vacuum-tube rectifier, which he called the oscillation valve. This was called a thermionic valve, vacuum diode, kenotron, thermionic tube, or Fleming valve. Fleming' diode was an essential step in the development of radio, In 1906 Lee de Forest introduced a third electrode called the grid into the vacuum tube. The resulting triode could be used both as an amplifier and a switch. In this form the vacuum tube was used in radio receivers and radar until it was superseded by solid state electronics more than 50 years later. The first electronic computer, the ENIAC, used 18,000 vacuum tubes as switches. Vacuum tubes were used in electronic computers until the late 1950s, and they are still manufactured today for specialty analogue Hi-Fi equipment. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

(Military Costume)
        Svenska Krigsmaktens forna och nuvarande Munderingar
      Stockholm: P.B. Eklund, 1905. First edition. 41 chromolithographic plates. Letterpress title with list of plates on verso. 1 vols. Folio. Later red cloth, spine label (rubbed). A couple of plates with occasional short marginal splits, overall fine and bright. Nice color plates of Swedish military uniforms, grouped by regiments, each plate showing the uniforms from the regiment's founding (often ca. 1750s) through the turn of the twentieth century.This does not correspond to the only Eklund title in Lipperheide, dated 1890, which calls for only six plates. It appears to be an updated reworking of Lipperheide 2278 (Schützercrantz, 1849-1853, with 36 plates).The only copy located is in the Kungliga Bibliotheket (National Library of Sweden).

      New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1905. Signed Limited edition. Large octavo, original three quarters brown morocco. One of 260 numbered copies signed by Theodore Roosevelt, this is number 30. Printed on ruisdael paper by the De Vinne Press. Photogravure frontispiece of Roosevelt, illustrated throughout. In very good condition with some wear to the extremities. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Like Audubon, William Elliott and Judge Caton, Roosevelt liked to chase deer with horses and hounds: 'To be able to ride through woods and over rough country at full speed, rifle or shotgun in hand, and then to leap off and shoot at a running object is to show that one has the qualities which made the cavalry of Forrest so formidable in the Civil War.' This volume also contains an excellent chapter on 'Books on Big Game' in which Roosevelt reveals his admiration for two other giants among deer hunters: Judge Caton and T.S. Van Dyke" (Wegner, 234).

Maxwell, James Clerk
        On a Possible Mode of Detecting a Motion of the Solar System through the Luminiferous Ether" in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Volume 30, 1879-1880, pp. 108-110
      First edition of James Clerk Maxwell's proposal for measuring the ether, a critical prelude to Michelson-Morley's great 'failed' experiment -- a work that set "new standards of reference of time and space from geometry and cosmometry" [and] ultimately leading to Einstein's 1905 proposal that the speed of light is a universal constant" (Lightman, 130). In this paper, Maxwell argues "that the velocity of the earth with respect to the ether alters the velocity of light by a quantity depending on the square of the ratio of the earth's velocity to that of light which he described as 'quite too small to be observed' (Staley, Einstein's Generation, 46). "Michelson did not accept this impossibility and started thinking of detecting the effect" (Soni, Mechanics and Relativity, 286). Maxwell believed that the propagation of light required a medium for the waves, dubbed the luminiferous aether. Still, he believed that 'the whole question of the luminiferous medium near the earth, and its connexion with gross matter, is very far as yet from being settled by experiment'. Later Maxwell wrote to the American astronomer David Peck Todd to ask if current observational accuracy of the moons of Jupiter was sufficient for the test he had proposed, but Todd informed him that it was not. Maxwell also included in his letter to Todd a detailed description of a terrestrial method for measuring the local speed of the aether by reflecting two light beams at right angles to each other, and he noted that this would require precision on the order of (v/c)2, which he (Maxwell) thought must surely be unachievable. After Maxwell's death a short time later, Todd published the letter" in both Nature and the Proceedings (Math Pages, 1).Michelson read the Maxwell letter that Todd had published "and was intrigued by the idea of detecting the Earth's motion through the (supposed) ether by measuring variations in the speed of light directly, in the manner that Maxwell had described in the letter, but which he (Maxwell) had assumed was completely impractical. Michelson was an expert in interferometry techniques, and took up the challenge to achieve the level of precision necessary to carry out the test and measure the speed of the aether. In 1880, Michelson designed an instrument specifically intended to refute Maxwell's supposition and with Edward A. Morley set about a landmark series of experiments that ultimately would "undermine a longstanding belief in something called the luminiferous ether; a stable, invisible, weightless, frictionlessâ€¦ medium that was thought to permeate the universe. Conceived by Descartes, embraced by Newton, and venerated by nearly everyone ever since, the ether held a position of absolute centrality in nineteenth-century physics as a way of explaining how light traveled across the emptiness of space" (Bryson, 117).

RUSSELL, Bertrand
        On some Difficulties in the Theory of Transfinite Numbers and Order Types. (Extracted from the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Ser. 2, Vol. 4, Part 1.)
      London: The London Mathematical Society,, 1905. Octavo (275 × 182 mm), pp. 29-53, (1). contemporary plain paper wrappers, lettered in manuscript. Presentation inscription "James Ward from B. R." to blank upper margin of the first leaf, with Ward's pencil annotation throughout, later ownership inscription of Samuel Skulsky to front wrapper. Wrappers split along spine and detatched; an excellent copy, preserved in a custom-made slip case. Original offprint. Russell had been working on trying to articulate "a theory of logic in which there were no classes, or denoting concepts, or even propositional functions, but only complex entities called 'propositions', which were to be analysed into their constituents: individuals and predicates. 'It seems to me broadly possible', he wrote to G. E. Moore on 25 October [1905], 'to maintain that there is nothing complex except propositions.' On 14 December he read to the London Mathematical Society a paper called 'On some difficulties in the theory of transfinite numbers and order types', in which he first publicly suggested the 'no classes' approach to the Paradox. Soon afterwards, the idea that 'propositions' rather than 'classes' should be the primitive notion of his theory of logic was developed into what he called the 'substantiation theory', which he first outlined in an unpublished paper called 'On Substitution' . The theory had something of the beautiful simplicity of the first draft of The Principles of Mathematics, and Russell was, temporarily, quite delighted by it. On the first day of the new year of 1906, he felt able to declare to Lucy Donnelly that: 'My work during 1905 was certainly better in quality and quantity than any I have done in a year before, unless perhaps in 1900. The difficulty which I came upon in 1901 … has come out at last, completely and finally, so far as I can judge …'" (Monk, p. 185). James Ward, philosopher and psychologist, was made a fellow of Trinity College Cambridge in 1875, and in 1897 was appointed to the newly founded professorship of mental philosophy and logic. "During the First World War, Ward protested at the dismissal of Bertrand Russell - who later called Ward 'my chief teacher' - from his Trinity lectureship" (ODNB).

Spader, William Edgar:
        SIXTY-TWO ORIGINAL INK DRAWINGS ILLUSTRATING THE HARRIMAN ALASKA EXPEDITION, 1899].
      [N.p., likely New York. ca. 1900-1905]. - Sixty-two line drawings on thick card stock, each signed "W. E. Spader." Sizes vary between 4 1/4 x 8 inches to 17 1/2 x 10 3/4 inches, oriented both portrait and landscape. Minor edge wear, some thumb-soiling, a few examples with minor marginal surface wear. Very good. In a cloth clamshell case, leather label. A substantial archive of original art by William E. Spader, one of the principal artists hired to create illustrations for Edward Harriman's monumental fourteen- volume work THE HARRIMAN ALASKA SERIES, published throughout the first decade-and-a-half of the 20th century. This important collection documents one of the great scientific expeditions of the late 19th century. Edward H. Harriman was a wealthy railroad magnate, one of the original robber barons of lore, who greatly desired to hunt bear in Alaska. Never one to do anything small, he decided not only to travel to Alaska to hunt bear on Kodiak Island, but to finance a major scientific expedition to Alaska along the way. The Harriman Expedition comprised an elite roster of scientists, artists, photographers, and naturalists whose goal was to explore and document the Alaskan coastline. For almost two months, in June and July 1899, the S.S. GEORGE W. ELDER steamed up the coast from Seattle to Siberia while various experts, including John Muir, Edward Curtis, and other botanists, biologists, geologists, artists and photographers recorded what they encountered along the way. The greatest benefit of the expedition turned out to be the sizeable published record of the journey, which Harriman financed himself. The fourteen-volume HARRIMAN ALASKA SERIES was published by Doubleday beginning in 1901, and remains a landmark of Arctic exploration. William Edgar Spader was a Brooklyn-born craftsperson, and illustrator, whose work appears in much of Harriman's Alaska series. Spader lived and worked in New York, and is best remembered for his watercolors depicting beautiful women of the Art Deco period. Spader's drawings here show landscapes, numerous views of glaciers, seal hunting, camp scenes, several scenes featuring canoeing or kayaking, one illustration of death head carvings, and much more. Some of the illustrations are captioned in pencil on the reverse, identifying specific views of Davidson Glacier, Hinchinbrook Island, Spruce Island, Hanging Valley, Grewingk Glacier, Charpentier Glacier, Plover Bay, Reid Glacier, Yale Glacier, Chilkoot Lake, Russell Fiord, College Fiord, the head of Lynn Canal, a view upland near Walker Bay, the tundra near Port Clarence, a view showing the caves in Barry Glacier, a landscape showing the ridged surface of Columbia Glacier, a large landscape showing the moraine of Columbia Glacier, a landscape of the hills near Brady Glacier, a large scene of an overturned forest near the La Perouse Glacier, an indoor view of a church at Metlakahtla, and a distant view of St. Paul Village, among others. A few examples show production notes, including size notations and penciled frame lines. Spader's dozens of illustrations for Harriman's published work are well-executed black-and-white line drawings after photographs from the expedition by the likes of Grove Karl Gilbert, C. Hart Merriam, A. K. Fisher, W. B. Devereaux, and others. Numerous examples of Spader's original artwork was used to illustrate volume one of the HARRIMAN ALASKA SERIES, starting with John Burroughs' introductory essay, "Narrative of the Expedition." One illustration is captioned on the reverse, "Little Auklets Pribilof Islands, Bering Sea For Burroughs' Article." It is marked in pencil "Vol. 1, Pg. 98," where it appears in the printed work. Another illustration captioned on the verso, in pencil, "Church at Metlakahtla" is captioned in the published work as "Interior of Church Made by Indians at Metlakahtla" on page 25 of Burroughs' work. An illustration by Spader of an irrigating water wheel can be seen on page 13 of Burroughs' essay, another of a canoe in drift ice in Yakutat Bay i

Der 4. Band "enthält die gesamten Bilder des Werkes auf echtem Bütten im Ganzen 103 Illustrationen", die der Orig.-Ausgabe von 1797 auch der Reihenfolge nach folgen und die an erotisch-pornographischer Vielfalt nichts zu wünschen übrig lassen. Die Textbände gedruckt auf unbeschnittenem Spezialpapier. Nach Hayn-Got. die erste dt. Ausgabe, die dort bereits als vergriffen gemeldet wurde. Eine weitere Übersetzung (allerdings ohne Abb. der Kupfer) von M. Isenbiel [d.i. Dr. Fiedler] erschien 1906; lt. Englisch, Geschichte, S. 476, soll die vorliegende Übersetzung von Haller allerdings im gleichen Jahr erschienen sein. Ausgesprochen seltene Ausgabe, die die drastisch erotischen Illustrationen der Kupfer in guter Qualität wiedergibt. Einbände etwasl berieben und Kapitale etwas bestossen. Innen gut, insgesamt schönes Exemplar. Sehr selten. Hayn-Got. VII, 26; Polunbi (2), 70. ---------------------- English description available on request. Traduction francaise sur demande.
