Description:
Paris: Chez Ruault, 1775. Original edition. Very Good. 2 volumes Quarto (28 cm); 464; 504 pages, 25 engraved plates (some folding), and folding table. Engraved headpieces. Many pages unopened. In stiff paste paper, paper labels on spine titled in manuscript and with volume numbers in ink. Old bookplate. References: (For Lavoisier) Duveen, 24-27. Volumes 3 and 4, comprising the year 1774, of the lively forum for the publication of advancements in physics, natural history, and in mechanical arts. Electricity was in the air that year, and indeed Monsieur Franklin figures heavily in reports (letters) addressed to him, and in many articles that refer to him. While experiments with electricity are everywhere (the obstetrician Sigaud de Lafond sees gold turn purple in response to a current of electricity; a Monsieur Bajon describes his research on electric eels) subjects range widely. Lavoisier contributes research on white lead and other metals. Other articles investigate bird song, British… Read More

Description:
Paris: Au Bureau du Journal de Physique, 1787. Original edition. Very Good. Quarto (28 cm); 480 pages, 12 engraved plates. Engraved headpieces. Many pages unopened. In stiff paste paper, paper label on spine titled in manuscript and with volume number in ink. Old bookplate. Volumes 31, comprising the issues for August through December 1787, of the lively forum for the publication of advancements in physics, natural history, and in mechanical arts. The "Journal de Physique, as it was known, published monthly, unlike the annals of the Royal Academy, which published annually. Consequently, it was able to publish innovative papers and reports of lectures given at the Academy long before their "official" appearance. The rapidity of this channel from research to publication remains a remarkable achievement. Among the papers published in this six-month period are two by Lavoisier (one on oxydation, one on chemical nomenclature), and a letter from Benjamin Franklin to David Le Roy.

Pisa: Niccolò Capurro, 1816. Very Good. 15cm; 6 volumes. Engraved frontispiece portrait and one folding plate. Mixed set: volumes 1-5 untrimmed, unsophisticated copy in publisher's wraps, with paper labels on spines. Volume 6 (Rime) matched from a different set, in blue marbled boards with gilded leather spine. Spine ends of volumes 1-5 shelf worn with some loss. Reference: Gamba 463, note; Seroni, "Firenzuola," # 15.

Untrimmed, in original, unsophisticated state. Old printed ex-libris (of Antonio di Cento) at base of title page, along with di Cento's ownership inscription recording the occasion of receiving the set as a gift, dated 1802.

Audacious as it may seem to publish an author's "works" when that author lived another 26 years, this collection includes the bases of Bettinelli's lasting fame: the "lettere virgiliane," in which Virgil recants his devotion to Dante and marks Petrarch as elegant, but repetitive (and what admirer of Petrarch can say he is wrong?); the searing "lettere inglesi" that Bettinelli contributed to "Il Caffè,"… Read More

In plain vellum, yapp edges, titled in manuscript on spine. Vertical fissures in vellum along length of spine. References: Landwehr 254 (804 pages), Jantz 864, De Backer and Sommervogel III, 192, #11 (1018 p). Cf. Praz, p.320 (1629 ed.). A well-illustrated edition of this curious and scarce work on depravity in language, arranged in alphabetical order. Each aspect of corrupted speech (e.g., blasphemy, calumny, chatter, drunken speech, lying and swearing) is illustrated by one emblem in its place in the alphabetical catalogue of misuse. First printed at Munich in 1629. There are two other 1634 imprints about, one with 804 pages and one with 1018 pages. Jantz suggests that this Cologne imprint actually came out of Amsterdam.
