‎FONTENELLE, Monsieur [Bernard Le Bovier de]‎

‎The lives of the French Italian and German Philosophers. Late members of the Royal Academy of Science in Paris. Together with abstracts Of some of the Choicest Pieces communicated by them to that Illustrious Society. To which is added The preface of the Ingenious Monsieur Fontenelle Secretary and Author of the History of the said Academy‎

‎London: Printed for W. Innys 1717. 16 xxxv 1 123 122-441 552 455- 464pp 4. With two terminal advertisement leaves. Contemporary gilt-tooled blind-panelled polished calf contrasting red morocco lettering-piece small shelf-label to head of spine. A trifle rubbed slightly chipped at head else a fine copy. The Macclesfield copy with the armorial 'North Library' bookplate shelf-mark 45.C.29 and typical armorial blind- stamps to title page and first two leaves of text pencilled shelf-marks to front endpapers. A choice copy of John Chamberlayne's significant translation of short biographies or 'Elogy as Mons. Fontenelle calls it' of eminent European scientists and mathematicians members of the French Academy of Sciences with excellent provenance: from the library of the dedicatee Thomas Parker 1st Earl of Macclesfield 1666-1732. Whilst the biographies within are translations of the work of Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle 1657-1757 celebrated French author and secretary for forty-two years of the Academy of Sciences in the second half of the work English writer John Chamberlayne c.1668-1772 has added brief English abstracts of 'some of the Choicest Pieces Memoirs Dissertations &c' taken from the Academy's Transactions including work on flora fauna entomology 'Upon Bees' geological and meteorological phenomena. Chamberlayne's gushing dedication of this work to Lord Parker - then Lord Chief Justice - references the latter's patronage of the sciences was apparently presented 'without.consent or knowledge' and indeed is referenced in his later works also dedicated with similar gusto to the Earl of Macclesfield. This taken with the presence in the Macclesfield library of several copies of works presented to Chamberlayne including Miscellanea Berolinensia ad incrementum scientiarum Berlin 1710 inscribed by Dr. Daniel Ernst Jablonski likely acquired by Parker after the 1724 sale of the library of Chamberlayne pere et fils further suggests a close connection between the two. A printed postscript to the dedication of this work also directed by Chamberlayne at 'My Lord' Parker discusses the disagreement over 'the Differential Calculation as the Invention thereof which I think is every where ascribed to the late Mons. Liebnitz' and 'no where attributed as it ought to our own Countryman Sir Isaac Newton the First Mathematician in the World' and shares with his readership that 'Dr. Keill.has done our British Philosopher justice; and fully proved that which Mr. L did in some manner acknowledge to me when I attempted to reconcile these two Great Men that Sir I.N. might be the first inventor'. Although not a presentation copy per se given the connection between the translator and early owner this is surely one of the most interesting copies available of this significant work documenting the work of the French academicians. .

Far from being a mere comedy of manners it anticipates some Enlightenment ideas especially regarding female emancipation.</p><p><strong>It even contains an unusually forward-thinking development on women's consent Act I Scene 1: <em>"All that's missing is a trifle a word of consent."</em></strong></p><p>Our manuscript—which ends at Act IV Scene 4— shows traces of edits and revisions by Fontenelle ; some phrases have been crossed out or rewritten.</p><p><strong>A rare and invaluable glimpse into the making of an 18th-century play. </strong></p>‎

‎CONVERSATIONS ON THE PLURALITY OF WORLDS . Translated from the Last Paris Edition. Wherein are Many Improvements Throughout; and Some New Observations on Several Late Discoveries Which Have Been Made in the Heavens. By William Gardiner Esq‎

‎London: Printed for A. Bettesworth 1715. 12mo pp. 1-12 1-192; collates A 6 B-I 12 frontispiece eighteenth-century brown leather front and rear panels ruled and tooled in blind four raised bands on spine panel no title label. The first printing of the Gardiner edition. Fontenelle's ENTRETIENS SUR LA PLURALITE DES MONDES his most famous and frequently reprinted and translated book was first published in 1686. It is "the first example in French of a learned work placed within the reach of an educated but non specialized public." - DSB V 59. A popular account of the systems of Ptolemy Copernicus and Tycho Brahe in dialogue form the treatise "awakened general interest in astronomy and popularized the scientific system of inquiry; it also emphasized the small space occupied by man and this planet relatively to the rest of the universe. The work was ridiculed by Voltaire though it suggested his MICROMEGAS." - The Oxford Companion to French Literature 1959 p. 278. The first of the three seventeenth-century English translations was A DISCOURSE OF THE PLURALITY OF WORLDS . Translated into English by Sir W. D. Knight. Dublin: Printed by Andr. Crook and Sam. Helsham for William Norman 1687. The first edition of the Glanvill translation containing five dialogues was published in 1688 the same year Aphra Behn's translation of Fontenelle's book A DISCOVERY OF NEW WORLDS was published in London by William Canning. This Gardiner translation first published in 1715 is the first edition to include a translation of Fontenelle's sixth dialogue. "In all the literature of the cosmic voyage there was no book more popular than Fontenelle's CONVERSATIONS OF THE PLURALITY OF WORLDS. Translated again and again it seemed to the British peculiarly their own book read for at least a century both by men and by those 'ladies' of whom we have many a description one of whom would read it aloud to others who were busily engaged in making strawberry jam. This was a book indeed that warranted a subtitle I once discovered in an eighteenth-century popularization of astronomy: 'Science made clear to the Meanest Capacities even those of Women and Children.'" - Nicolson Voyages to the Moon pp. 58-9. Fontenelle's book "became a seminal influence on proto science fiction . This is one of the earliest works ever written popularizing science notably astronomy for the layman which it does by wittily presenting its speculations -- many about the possibility of life on other worlds -- in the form of conversations after dinner between the author and a marquise." - Clute and Nicholls eds The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction 1993 p. 437. "A great stimulant to utopian speculations and science fiction." - Gibson and Patrick "Utopias and Dystopias 1500-1750" in Gibson St. Thomas More: A Preliminary Bibliography 1961 683.

‎Paris:: Chez la Veuve Brunet fils. . . et Marc Bordelet 1733. 1733. 12mo. viii 422 misnumbered "322" 2 pp. Frontis. engraved portrait. of Fontenelle – is trimmed folded at the upper and lower edges by "Crepy rue St. Jacques au lion d'Argent" title woodcut vignette. Original gilt-stamped calf gilt-stamped spine label raised bands. Inscription on title: "O.R. lousin aet coner". Very good copy with a handsome binding. "Extra-illustrated" with an added engraved bound-in folding frontispiece. This edition of the author's eulogies includes fourteen members of the Academie des Sciences who died between 1725 and 1730. There were two issues of this work printed in 1733: one showing "Brunet fils and Marc Bordelet the other issue showing only Marc Bordelet's name as publisher. They also feature a resetting of the type at least for the title-page and a different title woodcut vignette. There was an earlier 1731 Dutch edition of the Eloges printed by Isaac van der Kloot but I have been unable to determine if the biographies contained therein are the same. A note indicates this was also re-issued as miscellany works Oeuvres diverses of Fontenelle in 1736 see pt. 4. Fontenelle was a prolific biographer of notable persons publishing also a series of Dialogues with famous past historical figures. His Eloges commenced with a 1699 work on Claude Bourdelin. He also issued collective editions starting in 1708. This is the first 'separate' edition of the "Suite" containing biographies of 14 scientific notables. "It was Bernard Bovier de Fontenelle 1657-1757 who by his eulogies of scientists first bridged the gap between the scientific communities and the world at large . the eloges of the old Academy of Sciences acquainted laymen with a discipline that was at once esoteric by its novelty and forbidding by its terminology and methodology. Hence the eloges aside from the other functions they performed in the service of science also served as a public relations organ in the same manner as journals textbooks public lectures literary dialogues scientific expositions and cabinets de physique and d'histoire naturelle" - Charles Bennett Paul Science and immortality: the Eloges of the Paris Academy of Sciences 1699-1791 Berkeley: University of California Press 1980. pages 1-2.

Bound in contemporary 1/4 calf. 2 viii 187 1 pages. Lacking frontispiece. Early ink doodle on verso of title page lion but clean besides. French translation by Billecocq of the 1765 London edition of "The memoirs of Lieut. Henry Timberlake." Timberlake was a Virginian from Hanover county who fought for the English against the Cherokees in the French and Indian War. Tensions had been raised by the execution of 22 Cherokee in South Carolina in 1760 at Fort Prince George. As a result Overhill Cherokee attempted to expel British settlers. Timberlake was part of Colonel William Byrd / Adam Stephen's forces sent to suppress the Americas Indians in the Virginia / Tennessee region. Timberlake served as a lieutenant and a hostage to the Cherokees in 1761-1762 and visited many of their settlements. Later he was accompanied by three Cherokee leaders including the Chief Ostenaco on a diplomatic mission to England. The mission met with King George III and attempted to halt westward expansion by British colonists. One a second mission to England in 1765 Timberlake was imprisoned for debts owed for the lodging in London. He presumably wrote this journal while in debtor's jail and died in prison in 1765. His journal was published posthumously. His accounts of the Cherokee provide an early and fairly accurate depiction of the people before their displacement.
