[Kastner, Abraham Gotthelf] Baasner, Rainer
Abraham Gotthelf Kästner Aufklärer.
1991. Tübingen Niemeyer 1991. 8°. VI 683 Seiten. Softcover / Kartoniert. Sehr guter Zustand mit nur ganz geringen äußerlichen Gebrauchsspuren kleiner Lichtrand. KEIN Besitzvermerk. KEINE Anstreichungen. KEIN Mängelexemplar. Frühe Neuzeit ; Bd. 5 Vita A. G. Kaestneri / Der Gelehrte / Der Biedermann / Kästners literarische Werke / Oden / Parodien / Elegien / Prosa / Rezeptionsgeschichte / Kästners naturwissenschaftlicher Ansatz etc. etc. Abraham Gotthelf Kästner 27. September 1719 in Leipzig; 20. Juni 1800 in Göttingen war ein deutscher Mathematiker und Epigrammdichter. Er war der Sohn des Juraprofessors Abraham Kästner. 1756 heiratete er nach 12-jähriger Verlobung Johanna Rosina Baumann. Am 4. März 1758 starb seine Ehefrau an einer Lungenkrankheit. Später heiratete Kästner die Witwe eines französischen Offiziers. Ob aus dieser Verbindung eine Tochter entstammt ist fraglich. Kästner studierte ab 1731 in Leipzig Jura Philosophie Physik Mathematik und Metaphysik. 1733 wurde er zum Notar ernannt. 1739 folgte die Habilitation an der Universität Leipzig Kästner hielt mathematische philosophische und juristische Vorlesungen. 1746 wurde er außerordentlicher Professor an der Universität Leipzig. 1756 folgte er einem Ruf als ordentlicher Professor der Naturlehre und Geometrie nach Göttingen. Ab 1763 war er zugleich Leiter der dortigen Sternwarte. Kästner war Lehrer und später Kollege von Lichtenberg und Erxleben. Weitere Schüler waren Johann Pfaff der Doktorvater von Carl Friedrich Gauß Johann Tobias Mayer der Sohn seines Freundes und vormaligen Leiters der Göttinger Sternwarte Tobias Mayer und Heinrich Wilhelm Brandes. Kästner war ein entschiedener Gegner von Tierversuchen damals: Vivisektion und bekämpfte diese Praxis aufs Schärfste. Er starb 1800 als Hofrat in Göttingen und wurde auf dem Bartholomäusfriedhof beigesetzt. 1750 wurde er als auswärtiges Mitglied in die Preußische Akademie der Wissenschaften aufgenommen. Er war ab 1751 auswärtiges und ab 1755 ordentliches Mitglied der Göttinger Akademie der Wissenschaften. Seit 1786 war er Ehrenmitglied der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in Sankt Petersburg. Der Mondkrater Kästner ist nach ihm benannt. Von seinen zahlreichen Schriften über Mathematik sind seine Anfangsgründe der Mathematik Göttingen 17581769 4 Bände; 6. Aufl. 1800 hervorzuheben. Seine Geschichte der Mathematik Göttingen 17961800 4 Bände ist im Einzelnen ein scharfsinniges Werk doch fehlt ihr der umfassende Überblick über alle Teilgebiete der Mathematik. Am bekanntesten wurde Kästner durch seine Sinngedichte die zuerst ohne seine Einwilligung 1781 in Gießen erschienen und ihm durch ihren beißenden Witz und ihre scharfe Ironie auf verschiedene Persönlichkeiten viel Kritik einbrachten. Sie wurden später in seine Vermischten Schriften 1 und 2 Altenburg 1783 2 Bände aufgenommen und erschienen auch in seinen Gesammelten poetischen und prosaischen schönwissenschaftlichen Werken Berlin 1841 4 Bände sowie später in Joseph Kürschners Deutscher Nationalliteratur Band 73 hrsg. von Minor; Stuttgart 1883. Kaum bekannt ist seine Lobschrift auf Gottfried Wilhelm Freyherrn von Leibniz Altenburg 1769. Wikipedia paperback

I with dark blue edges with a manuscript title in Latin at the head of the spine: Tractatus de insectis aliisque animalibus nocivis extirpandis; vol. II with a manuscript title in German at the head of the spine: Von schadliechen Ungedierter Außrottung II. Each volume with a folding illustrated engraved title-page and a folding letterpress title-page a larger folding engraved plate in volume II woodcut tailpieces and decorated initials headpieces built up from typographic ornaments. Set in fraktur types with incidental Schwabacher and roman types. 2 volumes. 22 699 = 697 23; 38 944 48 pp. plus 2 folding letterpress title-pages and the 3 engravings. First edition rarely found complete of a detailed account of animals that are harmful to people and to their livestock the treatment of bites illnesses and poisonings they cause and instructions for their extermination. It covers animals on land in water in the air and underground. The large folding plate in vol. II shows 38 insects including 14 caterpillars and the two engraved title-pages for volumes I and II show well over 50 vol. I about 25 vol. II animals not counting a large group of ants and many birds in the distance in the former. The book also provides information about uses of the dead harmful animals for making clothes and medicines and includes many medicinal recipes. The animals discussed include wolves foxes mad dogs birds including birds of prey snakes frogs toads rats mice moles beetles caterpillars bed bugs lice fleas and other insects spiders snails and other molluscs various kinds of worms and even a dragon and basilisk the latter illustrated in the engraved title-page to volume I: it looks more cock-like than snake-like so most people would now call it a cockatrice but the two have long been used almost interchangeably. Krafft notes that dragons are rarely or never found in Germany but says one was found in Bohemia a few years ago and that they are more common in Nubia Libya and the largest ones in "Indien" probably meaning the East Indies and perhaps based on reports of the Komodo dragon.With an owner's inscription of Stefan von Clodt 1674-1737 Vicar General and Provost of Michaelsberg in Fulda on the title-page of vol. I. Somewhat browned vol. I only slightly and with an occasional small stain but still in good condition. The binding of vol. I is in very good condition with only a few small worm holes in the hinges; vol. II is rubbed and damaged lacking the lowest 3 cm of the backstrip. A very detailed source of information on animals regarded as pests from both a medical and a farming and gardening perspective.l Lindner Jagdliteratur 11.1171.01 & 11.1173.01; VD18 11041935 = 90643208 & 90643224; cf.

It was the first insurance company in Florida and one of the largest black-owned businesses in Florida. "As the oldest life insurance company in Florida and one of the most successful black businesses in the state it helped thousands of blacks over the years. The importance of that insurance company… cannot be underestimated.

A LEGACY OF FUN BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN. With a Short Sketch of His Life.
London: Frederick Farrah. 1865. First edition first printing. First edition first printing. Publisher's original printed paper wrappers. 48pp. A very good copy the binding firm with some toning to the spine. The contents with a few occasional dots of foxing and the odd minor mark to the margins are otherwise clean throughout and remain free from any previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. A scarce British publication celebrating the wit and wisdom of President Abraham Lincoln published shortly after his assassination on 14th April 1865. Beginning with a brief overview of his life the work comprises a wide ranging collection of humorous anecdotes and stories attributable to Lincoln including several relating to the Civil War and emancipation. Quite a number appear specific and plausible others less so: "'How old is that tree Abe' said a friend of the now President when the latter was engaged in the occupation of rail-splitting. 'Well I am not sure; but I am just about to axe him'". Seldom seen in commerce with no copies appearing in auction/catalogue records since 1966.

[Lincoln, Abraham]
Abraham Lincoln Engraving.
Engraved oval portrait of Abraham Lincoln the sixteenth president of the United States. Displayed in an antique wooden frame. The engraving measures 4.5 inches by 6 inches. The entire piece measures 10.75 inches by 12.75 inches. In near fine condition. Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the United States through its Civil War and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. Lincoln began constructing his cabinet on election night and sought to create a cabinet that would unite the Republican party. His eventual cabinet would include his primary rivals for the Republican nomination and although his appointees held differing views on economic issues all were opposed to the expansion of slavery into the territories of the United States. The most senior cabinet post of Secretary of State was appointed to William Seward who had recently failed to win the 1860 Republican presidential nomination and Lincoln's choice for Secretary of the Treasury was Ohio Senator Salmon P. Chase Seward's primary political rival and the leader of a radical faction of the Republican party that sought the immediate abolition of slavery. unknown

[LINCOLN, Abraham]
ABRAHAM LINCOLN TECHNOLOGY Report of the Commissioner of Patents for the Year 1849. Part I: Arts and Manufactures this volume only containing a patent awarded to a young Abraham Lincoln
Washington DC: Office of Printers to the House of Reps 1850. First Edition. Hardcover. Good . Octavo 626pp. illustrated plus six plates. A good or better copy in contemporary 3/4 black leather and marbled boards. Contemporary ownership signature to front free endpaper and small private library label to front paste-down else unmarked. Mild foxing to first and last few leaves. Extremities rubbed and scuffed and the joints tender but sound. An important volume in the pantheon of presidential books which chronicles on pp. 57 and 262 the award of a patent to then-Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln. Having twice been aboard a riverboat which got stuck on shallow shoals he developed a concept for a bellows fixed under the hull of a riverboat which could be inflated to lift the boat over the obstruction and then retract. Lincoln had been a patent lawyer in the mid-1840s and was closely familiar with the laborious patent application process. <br /> <br /> To this day Lincoln is the only president to have been awarded a patent a fact which contributes to his enduring legacy as an uncommon genius and polymath. As such this tract while unrelated to politics is an essential volume in any substantial Lincoln collection. Uncommon in the trade. Not listed in Monaghan. Office of Printers to the House of Reps hardcover
