Johnson Lorenzo Dow
One-page autograph letter signed to Job Durfee concerning the Roger Williams Church Corporation
Providence: November 22 1837. 4to previous folds small break at the wax seal; very good. The Reverend Lorenzo D. Johnson writes to Hon. Job Durfee stating that the Roger Williams Church Corporation will attempt to raise funds because of "having had a debt standing against them for some time." To raise funds they "have adopted the following method.to give a course of Scientific lectures to be delivered in the house in the western margin of the city.called Christian Hill." Johnson asks Durfee to speak on behalf of the church and mentions that he has already obtained the services of Mr. Upham of Salem Hon. Tristam Burges and a few others. Lorenzo Dow Johnson was born in 1805 in Wethersfield Vermont. A Reformed Methodist preacher he lived in Plymouth County Massachusetts but served at a number of different churches in New England including The Roger Williams Church in Providence. Rev. Johnson married in 1832 in Rochester Massachusetts Mary Burges daughter of Abraham Burges and the niece of Tristam Burges afterwards member of Congress from Rhode Island and professor in Brown University. He was the author of a number of books including a biography The Spirit of Roger Williams: with a Portrait of One of His Descendants. There is evidence that he was installed as pastor in the Roger Williams Baptist Church Society in 1827 cf. Cheney Rev. Martin. A sermon delivered at the installation of the Rev. Lorenzo D. Johnson as Pastor of the Roger Williams Baptist Church Society in Providence Oct. 25 1827 although this is interesting since his biographers call him a Methodist. This church united with the Quakers in 1837. After traveling in Europe he was in the clerical employ of the Government from about 1851 until the second battle of Bull Run and there being an urgent need for assistance for the wounded he went to the front and from that time to the close of the war devoted himself to the care of the sick and wounded in and about Washington. Job Durfee 1790 -1847 was a politician and jurist from Rhode Island. He graduated from Brown University in 1813 and was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in Tiverton. He was a member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives from 1816 to 1820 and was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Seventeenth Congress. In 1833 he was elected associate justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court. As chief justice he presided over the trial of the last person executed in Rhode Island John Gordon. Durfee was the author of What Cheer a Poem in Nine Cantos; and of an oration The Influences of Scientific Discovery and Invention on Social and Political Progress or Roger Williams in Exile 1843. <br/><br/> November 22 unknown books

Lorenzo Delmonico
Menu on Silk Ball in Honor of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
Delmonico Lorenzo. <i>Ball in Honor of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. New York October 12 1860. </i>New York: Delmonico's printed by Spear 1860. A menu printed on silk for a banquet given in honor of Albert Edward Prince of Wales later to be crowned King Edward VII called 'the event of the age' by the <i>Commercial Advertiser</i>. Held at New York's Academy of Music this ball required Lorenzo Delmonico to display all his culinary talents. Lorenzo Delmonico did not disappoint. "With pink and white drapery the rooms of the medical college had been transformed into exotic tents. On the buffet tables the magnificently presented dishes with their elegant-sounding French names were presented by Lorenzo Delmonico the owner of Manhattan's best restaurant." Printed on beige-colored silk with brown type this very fragile surviving menu measures 17 cm x 11 cm having been trimmed slightly from its original size. There are a few places on the upper left side where the silk has broken and there is slight loss of fabric but no loss of text. See: Ian Radforth <i>Royal Spectacle. The 1860 Visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada and the United States. </i>Toronto: University of Toronto Press 2004 reprinted 2019 pages 354 – 355. Lorenzo Delmonico books

Accademia del Cimento; Lorenzo MAGALOTTI 1637 1712.
Saggi di Naturali Esperienze . . .
Florence:: Gio: Filippo Cecchi 1691. 1691. Large 4to. xv CCLXIX 20 pp. Half-title title printed in red & black title vignette 75 copper engraved plates numerous woodcut initials and head & tailpieces index; prominent waterstains to corners lacks the portrait of Cosimo some copies have the portrait others do not. Later quarter vellum marbled boards black leather gilt-stamped spine label vellum tips. Very good. Second edition first printed in 1666/7. This marvelous work contains descriptions of experiments on air-pressure freezing of water an early account of Torricelli's invention of the barometer thermometer electrical and magnetic experiments measurements of the velocity of sound and light and experiments on heat and cold. It contains many large full-page engravings of experimental apparatus used to conduct these early experiments in natural physics. The engravings on pages iii vi viii and xiii show Torricelli's thermometer with a column of liquid and capsules of various density liquids that will either float of sink depending upon the surrounding temperature. Also known as a "termometro lento" slow thermometer this clever instrument is still marketed as a functioning curiosity today. / As the mechanism of the atmosphere exerting continuous pressure on the surface of the earth was unknown at that time the experiments using a barometer and bell jar pp. xxiv-xxxi seem rather naïve to us today. The members of the Academy couldn't determine why the mercury in the column didn't fall once the barometer was 'shielded' from the surrounding atmosphere. What they failed to realize is that the air pressure inside the bell jar remained the same as the outside since it had not been evacuated. Page lxxxxix depicts a curious experiment in which an organ pipe and a bellows to blow air through a pipe are encased in a vacuum chamber. The experiment demonstrated that when the chamber was evacuated the pipe no longer made sound even though the bellows were still forcing 'air' through the apparatus therefore showing that air at normal pressure was a necessary component to produce sound. / The Academy of Experiments was founded in Florence in 1657 and flourished for only ten years 1657-1667 and presents the first group effort at scientific investigation on the part of scientists including such original minds as Viviani Borelli Steno Redi Cassini and Torricelli. Its moving spirits were two of Galileo's most distinguished disciples Viviani and Torricelli. The necessary financial support came from the two Medicis the Grand Duke Ferdinand II of Tuscany and his brother Leopold; both of them had studied under Galilei. More than a decade before the formal institution of the Academy the two Medici brothers had started a laboratory well equipped with such scientific apparatus as was then obtainable. :: Wolf. / "This collection contains papers describing experiments on light sound and electricity.

Title page with 19th century ownership inscriptions "Gabriele Tasinari 1865 and early 20th century ink ownership stamp of Jaime Azancot. Lyon edition of Lorenzo Vallas linguistic work on the Latin language. This same year an edition appeared with Jodus Badius Ascensius and was printed in Paris with Simonem Colinaeum. The next year 1536 saw editions from the printers Giunta in Lyon and Fabricius in Cologne. Immensely popular as a textbook this was Vallas widely reprinted and influential work on Latin linguistics which went through at least 60 editions between 1471 and 1536. Lorenzo or Laurentius Valla from Piacenza was a scholar humanist and philosopher not unfamiliar with controversy. In his tumultuous career he was chosen by Pope Nicholas V to translate the classical texts of Herodotus and Thucydides into Latin. His masterwork is De lingvae latinae elegantia 1444 called a brilliant philological defense of classical Latin in which he contrasted the elegance of the ancient Romans works - especially those of Cicero and Quintilian - with the clumsiness of medieval and Church Latin Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia 6th ed. 2006. Vallas treatise was novel in it subjected the forms of Latin grammar and the rules of Latin style and rhetoric to a critical examination. His work was the basis for the Humanist movement to reform the style of Latin prose to a more classical and Ciceronian direction and on a scientific basis and away from the Christian Latin of the European Middle Ages. This was thought to be a major improvement in style and elegance in Latin usage. Sebastian Gryphius was a German bookseller-printer and humanist. Around 1520 he came to Lyon and settled there on behalf of a Venetian firm of booksellers. Initially Gryphius largely published works on law but was later known for classic works in humanism produced in elegant format. For an often reprinted title this particular edition is not common. <br/><br/> Seb. Gryphium hardcover books

Schorsch on the front pastedown. <br/><br/>Scarce first edition of Lorenzo Gambaras devotional treatise the Rerum sacrarum liber published by Plantin in Antwerp in 1577. Plentiful in sacred iconography Gambaras book was known for its beautiful art history images depicting classic Christological scenes visions saints and parables all after the drawings of Bernadino Passeri. Lorenzo Gambara born in Brescia studied arts and letters at the University of Padua. While he was still young he moved to Rome where he was linked to the papal court and was in service to Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and later Pope Gregory XIII. Virtually Gambaras entire life had been encompassed by the culture of the papal court a place where he also made his name as a poet. One of Gambaras major driving beliefs was that the popular myths in ancient poetry had pagan roots. Wanting to write something to counteract the celebration of depraved literature in his time Gambara wrote this treatise to discourage Christian poets from using pagan symbols in their work. He dedicated this work to some of the greatest themes in Christian liturgy such as the Annunciation Epiphany Pentecost and Christmas. Adams G-186; Brunet II 1474; Graesse III 22.
