First edition of this rare illustrated introduction to meteorological, geological, terrestrial and marine phenomena aimed at students.

The 36 (of 37) dramatic lithographs were drawn and printed by the Strasbourg engraver Emile Lemaitre, handfinished in color and gum arabic.

The phenomena include meteorological (sunrise, lightning, the Aurora Borealis, tides and rainbows), geological (mines, gold fields and volcanoes), as well as terrestrial wonders (Mount Vesuvius, Niagara Falls, the Andes mountains, Giant's Causeway, Fingal's cave, the Rhone, etc.)

The plates are accompanied by explanatory text printed in blue, detailing historical and scientific information, sometimes referring to the latest inventions and events. The Arctic plate includes Sir John Franklin's 1845 doomed expedition to the North Pole, while the Gold Fields plate describes the California Gold Rush of 1848.

List of plates: Sunrise - Thunderstorm - Rainbow - Earthquake - Waterspout - Moonlight - Flood - Avalanche - Simoom - Aurora Borealis - Tides - Ocean currents - North Pole - Mount Vesuvius - Underwater volcanoes - Virgin forests (Central America) - Desert (Gauchos on the Steppes) - Mines - Gold fields (California) - Glaciers - Source of the Rhine - Salt pans and fire pits (China) - Geysers - Niagara Falls - Cataracts (Staubbach Fall, Switzerland) - the Andes (Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador) - the Nile - Cave of Antiparos (Greece) - Natural bridge (Virginia) - Peter Botte Mountain (Mauritius) - Giant's Causeway - Fingal's Cave - Salt Mountain (Spain) - Disappearance of the Rhone - Fairies Grotto (Saint-Bauzille, France) - Adam's Peak (Sri Lanka).

Condition: Buckram binding holding firm, gilt on spine bright, boards bumped at corners with 3cm black ink stain on front. Interior with watermarked silk endpapers, ticket of Jacquet-Schreiber "papetiere lithographer," tissue guards (a few with small tears), plates with a few smudges and spots of foxing, but generally clean and vibrant.

(A second edition was published in 1869 with the title Les Curiosites et les Merveilles de la Nature.)

Description:
12 mo. (7 x 4 1/2 inches) Glasgow, 1700. First Edition. (viii) 112 pages. Good condition: early nineteenth century half calf, marbled boards, considerable wear to hinges (front hinge split, but holding), title in gilt on spine.

Walter Herries (or Harris) was a pamphleteer who participated in the first Darien "adventure." Upon his return to England, he was offered inducements by English politicians to write a book that would ruin the reputation of the members of the Darien Company. His book was "Declared by a royal proclamation to be a 'false, scandalous, and traitorous libel'."

This book, attributed to Ridpath, is an answer to Herries's book, and an attack on English politicians. Ridpath was a Scottish journalist who wrote and supported Whig interests against the Tories.

This book is bound with leather covers and a cloth spine. There is a label on the front cover which is not readable. New endsheets have been added at some point in the book's long history, but the original endsheets and covers are present. There is a former owner's inscription on the original front endsheet. Pages are intact and the binding is tight. The book contains black & white drawings of muscles, bones, and bandages. There is an index for medicines and an extensive table of contents of body parts, diseases, syndromes, and treatments. Printed in the year 1846, the book itself is, in essence, a time capsule that portrays how medicine was practiced aboard an early nineteenth century sailing ship. This will make a wonderful addition to the library of the collector of medical memorabilia.
