Non sappiamo se la 32 contenga un colophon o meno. Il nostro esemplare è costituito da 31 tavole numerate e all' inizio si legge la seguente antica notazione: "Libro di N° 31 carte ad uso del Rev. Sig. D. Giov. Gerardi Comm. della SS. Inq. della città di Regalbuto quale costò...nell' anno 1756". Per notizie sull' autore (nato forse a Roma 1638-1698?) confronta i vari repertori specializzati come Thieme-Becker, Nagler, Pelliccioni, Gandellini, Iessen, Guilmard ecc. Esemplari di questa opera sono in Getty Center Library e Columbia University Library. Il Census nazionale Iccu, non registra alcun esemplare nelle biblioteche italiane. Esemplare bellissimo a grandi margini con incisioni in eccellente tiratura impresso su carta grave, legatura un pò lenta. * choix 15148: * Berlin-Katalog 3515; * Bm. Stc. Italian XVII Cent.

Mantegazza Paolo
Rio de La Plata e Tenerife, viaggi e studj di Paolo Mantegazza.
In 8°; 731 (ma 734) pp. e 9 c. di tav. delle quali una doppia e una più volte ripiegata. Bellissima legatura coeva in mezza-pelle rossa. Dorso a 4 nervi. Autore, titolo, filetti in oro e fregi a secco ai tasselli ed ai nervi. Piatti foderati in tela. Prima edizione in ottime condizioni di conservazione di questa importante opera dedicata a Rio de La Plata e Tenerife scritta dal celebre fisiologo, patologo, igienista, neurologo, antropologo e scrittore italiano, Paolo Mantegazza (Monza, 31 ottobre 1831 - San Terenzo, 28 agosto 1910) fra i primissimi divulgatori delle teorie darwiniane in Italia e fra i primi antropologi moderni. "Subito dopo la laurea, spinto dal desiderio di avviare imprese economiche e probabilmente anche per motivi sentimentali, il M. lasciò l'Italia: dopo essere passato per la Francia, la Germania e l'Inghilterra, si recò in Argentina, in Paraguay, in Bolivia, ove compì numerose osservazioni naturalistiche, botaniche, etniche ed etnoiatriche. Nel 1856 a Salta, in Argentina, conobbe e sposò Jacobina Tejada Montemajor, dalla quale l'anno successivo ebbe il suo primo figlio. Intrapreso nel 1858 il viaggio di ritorno in Italia, la lunga sosta alla quale, per motivi sanitari, fu costretto a Tenerife gli offrì l'opportunità di dedicarsi allo studio antropologico e craniomorfologico delle popolazioni locali. Frutto dell'esperienza maturata in questi viaggi furono i due volumi Sulla America meridionale; lettere mediche, editi a Milano nel 1858-60, e i lavori: Sulle virtù igieniche e medicinali della coca e sugli alimenti, in Annali universali di medicina, s. 4, XXI (1859), 501, pp. 449-519, al quale nel 1858 era stato conferito il premio Dell'Acqua dell'ospedale Maggiore di Milano; Degli alimenti nervosi narcotici, in L'Igea, III (1864), pp. 354 s.; Sull'uso terapeutico della coca, ibid., V (1866), p. 284; Rio de La Plata e Tenerife: viaggi e studi, Milano 1867." da Treccani.

George, Lyman F.
Falling Prices and The Remedy
231 pages. History certainly does repeat itself as the following statement appears upon the title page: "Equity and justice demand that the merchant, manufacturer, farmer, and wage-earner shall receive as much consideration at the hands of the law-makers as is accorded to those who deal in money." Clearly, the author would not be a fan of Goldman Sachs and their modern-day ilk. Chapter titles include the following: Thirty Years' Fall in Prices; Disastrous Effects of Falling Prices; Opinions Regarding the Cause of the Fall in Prices; Money, its use and abuse; Our Money a Banker's Money; A Monetary System Which Will Restore Prosperity; Bimetallism as a Cure; Immigration; Trusts and Department Stores as a Cause; Overproduction; Hard Times - The Effect of "Improved Machinery"; Confidence; Supply and Demand; Review and Summary of Overproduction; Review and Summary of Bimetallism; Conclusion. Tissue-protected black and white photographic frontisplate of author. Bright gilt lettering upon maroon backstrip and decorated front board. Prior owner's signature upon front free endpaper, otherwise unmarked. Moderate wear. Binding sound. An above-average copy of this important and timely work. Book
