‎"RIETER, JACOB og JOHANNES SENN.‎

‎Danske Nationale Klædedragter - Dänische National Kleidertrachten. - [FIRST DANISH WORK ON NATIONAL COSTUMES]‎

‎(København, ca. 1805-08). 4to. Varierende bladstørrelser. Trykflade ca. 20x15 cm. Med 59 kobberstukne og håndkolorerede dragtplancher samt 6 tillægsplancher i tusch og akvarel. Alle med dansk og tysk tekst under billedet. Indlagt i bogæske af helshirt.‎

‎Af største sjældenhed. Der udkom i alt 72 blade af denne, Danmarks første arbejde om vore nationaldragter, men en komplet serie kendes kun i ganske få eksemplarer - kun et eksemplar forefindes i offentlige biblioteker (UB, mens eksemplaret i KB ikke er fuldstændigt). Titlen kendes kun fra de 12 hefteomslag, som medfulgte udgivelsen, de er ikke til stede her. Rieter og Senn, som begge var født og uddannet i Schweitz, ankom til København i 1804, de gjorde dragtstudier på Sjælland, på Vesterhavsøerne og i Holsten. Serien af dragtplancher er opdelt i 2 afdelinger, den første viser københavnske (med Amager) og sjællandske dragter, mens den sidste gengiver sønderjydske (Holsten og de nordfrisiske øer). Denne sidste afdeling med ialt 37 plancher foreligger her komplet, og blev genudgivet 1909 af Karl Häberlin i ""Volkstrachten der nordfriesischen Inseln"". Rieter forlod København allerede i 1805, således måtte Senn fuldføre udgivelsen. Antageligt har Senn udført de fleste af tegningerne. De medfølgende 6 originale akvarel-plancher supplerer serien, således at den omfatter ialt 65. (Disse kopier fra Det 19.årh. har flg. numre hos Krohn: 13,17,23,32,34 og 35).An extremely scarce series of the first Danish work on National Costumes, only known in a few copies.Bibl.

‎Leipzig: Christoph Zunkel and Bernhard Christoph Breitkopf, 1727-1739. Folio. (372x239mm). Two parts in one volume. Contemporary vellum, two cuts in spine, modern slip case. Provenance: Book plates of Arnaud de Vitry and Andras Gedeon. Stamps to half-title and title-page, from Stadtbibliothek Augsburg - sold as duplicate. First part: (14], 200, (4) pp. and 45 plates, numbered I-XLIII (plate III with volvelle). Second part: (12), 100, (94) pp. and 40 plates on 36 sheets, numbered I-XL. All plates intact. An exceptionally fine copy.‎

‎The scarce first edition of the of the eighth and tenth volumes (each volume being a complete work in itself) of Leupold's magnificent ten-volume ""Theatrum Machinarum"" - one of the first encyclopedias of technology, being the most complete and the most extensively illustrated work on mechanical engineering published hitherto. Complete sets of Leupold's Theatrum are virtually never found and Ferguson stated in his bibliography of technology that he had never seen a complete set. Each volume is complete in itself. The eighth volume is of particular interest in the history of computers, as it deals mainly with calculating machines. This volume contains detailed descriptions of the calculating machines of Schott (1668), Grillet (1673), Leibniz (1674), Poleni (1709), and Leupold himself. The tenth volume is a supplement to the series published after Leupold's death by Ernst Scheffler. It deals with odometers, gyrometers, step counters and other devices for the measurement of distances. This volume is furthermore of importance, because it contains the 90 page general index to the entire series.

‎First printing of Lüroth's Theorem, a celebrated case of rational variety within algebraic variety. ""In 1876 he demonstrated the ""Lueroth theorem"", whereby each uni-rational curve in rational-Castelnuovo in 1895 proved the analogous but more difficul theorem for surfaces"" (DSB).Lüroth's problem concerns subextensions L of K(X), the rational functions in the single indeterminate X. Any such field is either equal to K or is also rational, i.e. L = K(F) for some rational function F. In geometrical terms this states that a non-constant rational map from the projective line to a curve C can only occur when C also has genus 0. That fact can be read off geometrically from the Riemann-Hurwitz formula.""In addition, Lueroth worked in other areas of mathematics far removed from algebraic geometry. He obtained partial proof of the topological in variance of dimension (proved in 1911 by L. Brouwer) and, following the work of Staudt, did research in complex geometry. He was also involved in the logical researches of his friend Schroder and published two books in applied mathematics and mechanics. These were Grundriss der Meclumik, in which he used the vector calculus for the first time* and Vorlesungen Uber immerisches Rechnen. Lueroth collaborated in editing the collected works of Hesse and Grassmann."" (DSB)‎

By giving his symbols a quantitative meaning - the symbol of an element representing one atomic proportion by weight - it was possible ""to show briefly and clearly the number of elementary atoms in each compound and, after the determination of their relative weights, present the results of each analysis in a si8mple and easely retained manner."". This symbolism was speedily adopted on the Continent but, en England, only after some considerable time.""(Findley ""A Hundred Year of Chemistry"", p. 14). - Holmberg, Bibliografi öfver Berzelius, 1812:7).‎

‎First publication of Jacob Bernoulli influential dissertation in which he published the first correct solution to the isoperimetric problem both Johann Bernoulli and Leibniz had been seeking without success. The paper influenced both Leonhard Euler in writing his first research paper and British mathematician Brook Taylor to begin a dispute which has later been referred to as Taylor versus Continental mathematicians. ""It [the dissertation] was considered as a prodigy of sagacity and invention: and indeed, if the time be considered, it will not be too much to assert, that a more difficult problem never was solved."" (Bossut. A general history of mathematics. 341 p.).The isoperimetric problem is an ancient problem which dates back to antiquity and can be described as which curve, if any, maximizes or minimizes the area of its enclosed region?Euler, who had been taught by Johann Bernoulli, published his first paper in 1726 which was a note on the construction of isochronous curves in a resistant medium.DSB II, 48b.The following papers by Johann Bernoulli are also contained in the present volume:1.

‎The papers represents one of the first announcements of Berzelius' discovery of the fixed chemical proportions, determining the weights and valencies of the various constituent elements in inorganic compounds. The papers were published at the same time in German (both here in Annalen and in Schweiger's Journal), and in French. By running many hundreds of analysis of chemical compounds he gave so many examples of the law of definite proportions that the world of chemistry could no longer doubt its validity, and in so doing he gave experimental evidence to the atomic theory. He hereby laid a solid fundation for the further development of chemistry.According to Söderbaum (Jac. Berzelius, 2, p.12) ""It was a giant work, one of the most importent in the history of chemistry, which was here presented. One is even more impressed when one remembers that it was a pioneer undertaking in every sense of the term. Analytic and synthetic methods existed before Berzelius' time, to be sure, but there were no precise methods of the sort which he required. They all had to be elaborated at the cost of time and labour.""(J. Erik Jorpes ""Jac. Berzelius"", p.45).""In general Berzelius's efforts were directed toward the consolidation and extension of the atomic theory. He improved chemical analysis and determined the composition of a large number of compounds, thus verifying the laws of constant and multiple proportions and furnishing the most accurate equivalent weights then available. By ingenious methods he arrived at the correct atomic composition of most common substances, and thus was enabled to draw up (in 1826) a table of atomic weights very nearly identical with the modern one.""(Leicester & Klicktein ""A Source Book in Chemistry"", p. 258).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1810-20 C.‎

‎"RIIS, JACOB A.‎

‎How the Other Half Lives. Studies Among the Tenemants of New York. With Illustrations chiefly from Photographs taken by the Author. - [INITIATING SOCIAL REFORM]‎

‎New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1890. Lex 8vo. Original blue full clothWith title in blue to front board and blue and gilt lettering to spine. Spine and parts of boards lightly brownspotted. A bit of wear to capitaks and corners. But overall a very nice copy of this fairly fragile and delicate cloth binding (there is an original variant binding with cloth spine and illustrated boards, but no precidency between the bindings has been established). Internally very nice and clean. XV, (1), 304 pp. Wih numerous illustrations, most of them photographic.‎

‎First edition of this landmark work on the miserable living conditions of the poor immigrants in New York, constituting one of the very earliest - and certainly the most popular and influential - attempts at making ""the other half"", i.e. the middle and upper classes, aware of how the poor in New York actually lived. Riis's work created attention to the neglected and overseen community that was the underprivileged in New York. In the long run, the great success of the work created attention to the status, living conditions and general health of the poor, and it initiated social reform movements in all major North American cities. Furthermore, the work is regarded the very first example of ""muckraking"" journalism and was the first to extensively use halftone photographic reproductions in a book.Riis used a convincing combination of facts from Dr. Roger S. Tracy, Registrar of Vital Statistics, and his own talents as a photo journalist to make a hitherto unseen powerful description of the correlation between the high crime rate, drunkenness and reckless behavior of the poor and their lack of proper homes. The statistical facts made it a relevant and sober work and lent it enough authority to the book's claims for it to be taken serious by city official. His groundbreaking photographs confirmed the dry numbers and ""spoke directly to people's hearts"". (Pascal, ""Jacob Riis: Reporter and Reformer"", p. 87). Unlike all previously works on the living conditions of the poor, ""How the Other Half Lives"" offered concrete solutions on how to improve living condition, how to make the tenants improve their buildings, and finally how the politicians and city officials could make the appropriate and necessary juridical changes.The effect of the work was immediately seen and included: the tearing down of New York's worst tenements, sweatshops, and the reformation of the city's schools. The book led to a decade of improvements in Lower East Side conditions, with garbage collection, sewers, and indoor plumbing all following soon after. Because of the present work, Riis quickly rose to fame and in 1895 he became close friends with Theodore Roosevelt, then a New York City official, who wrote of Riis: ""Jacob Riis, whom I am tempted to call the best American I ever knew, although he was already a young man when he came hither from Denmark"". After Roosevelt became President, he wrote a tribute to Riis that started: ""Recently a man, well qualified to pass judgment, alluded to Mr. Jacob A. Riis as ""the most useful citizen of New York"". Those fellow citizens of Mr. Riis who best know his work will be most apt to agree with this statement. The countless evils which lurk in the dark corners of our civic institutions, which stalk abroad in the slums, and have their permanent abode in the crowded tenement houses, have met in Mr. Riis the most formidable opponent ever encountered by them in New York City.""The title refers to the French writer François Rabelais, who famously wrote in Pantagruel: ""one half of the world does not know how the other half lives"". As a work of journalism and of social criticism, Riis's book still stands as a truly seminal testimony to how the lower classes lived at the turn of the century. Due to this work, attention was eventually paid to them and their conditions bettered.‎
