‎Contes chinois ou les avantures merveilleuses du Mandarin Fum-Hoam • Chinese Tales or the Marvelous Adventures of the Mandarin Fum-Hoam‎

‎à Utrecht: Chez Etienne Neaulme 1733. Fine. Chez Etienne Neaulme à Utrecht 1733 7 x 13 cm 3 volumes reliés New edition rare after the original Parisian edition of 1723 and illustrated with 8 unsigned figures 4 for each volume. Title pages in red and black. At the end Catalogue des livres qui se trouvent chez Jean Neaulme 32 p. Contemporary full marbled brown calf bindings. Raised band spines with ornament. Red morocco title labels tan morocco volume labels. Tail of volume II partly torn away. Lower joint of volume I split at head. Two lacks to upper board of volume II. Upper joint of volume I cracked at head. Missing one endleaf before title. A good copy. The title ""Oriental Tales"" would truly be more accurate to describe this bewildering collection where the stories are embedded within one another taking us from one country to another. Thus we find numerous tales about Persia some about India others about the kingdom of Canaan Cochinchina Laos. Everything begins with the king of Canaan's desire to send a harem as an offering to the king of China. The reader finds himself in Persia with the ambassador of the king of Canaan and two dervishes one of whom turns out to be a girl and the other the king of Georgia. The essential narration is handled by the mandarin Fum-Hoam but the tales and stories concern Persia and neighboring countries more. The marvelous is not absent from these tales of unbridled invention: one can notably see Fum-Hoam transformed into a flea. Gueullette made a specialty of writing oriental tales and produced several quite important collections that all had lasting success not only in France but also in England Germany and even Russia. One cannot distinguish what in Gueullette stems from compilation borrowing or even plagiarism and what comes from the author's pen. One thing is certain reading the Arabian Nights translated by Galland whose first collection appeared in 1704 profoundly marked him and he holds an important place alongside 18th-century tales by Crébillon Hamilton and others for whom the Orient was an inexhaustible source of inventions and moral transgressions.

For An Excellent Summary Of Beeby-Thompson's Unparalleled Association With Baku See"Arthur Beeby-Thompson: Oil Pioneer" On The Internet. Of Little Interest Today The Oil Fields Of Baku Were Hitler's Major Interest In His Attempted Subjugation Of Russia In World War Ii A Fact Well Known To Many Russians But Known By Few Living Westerners. There Is A Plausible Argument That The National Economics Politics And Militarization Of Oil And Gas Is So Important That Twentieth Century And Twenty-First Century National Economics Politics And Militarization May To A Considerable Degree Be Considered As Just Aspects Of The Oil And Gas Business; Petroleum And Gas Derivatives Provide Not Just Energy But The Chemicals Used In All Industry Including The Lubrication Of Essential Machines. This Business Is Below The Radar Of The Media Indispensably Dependent Upon The Oil Equipment Supply Business An Oligopoly Where Equipment Is Never Sold Only Leased Making The Users Dependent Upon Such Firms "Forever" And Giving Them Incomparable Political Leverage. Per The Huntington Library Ralph Arnold A Leading Consulting Geologist And Petroleum Engineer In The United States Came To Pasadena California From Iowa With His Family In 1880 And Was Educated At Stanford University. Arnold Became A Member Of The U.S. Geological Survey Wrote And Lectured Extensively On Geological Subjects Engaged In Numerous Mining And Petroleum Ventures And Was Active In Republican Politics Especially In The Presidential Campaign Of Herbert Hoover One Of Hoover's Sons Was A Worldwide Petroleum Drilling Business Operator.

‎The Seasons‎

‎London: A. Millar. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1758. Reprint. 1. Hard Cover. Professionally quarter bound in leather over original boards new endpapers. Illustrated with four engraved plates one for each season. James Thomson 1700-1748 was a Scottish poet and playwright known for his masterpiece "The Seasons" and the lyrics of "Rule Britannia!." First published as a group in 1730 this collection of poems has been reprinted many times. A dispute over the publishing rights to "The Seasons" gave rise to two important legal decisions Millar v. Taylor; Donaldson v. Beckett in the history of copyright. "The Seasons" was translated into German by Barthold Heinrich Brockes 1745. This translation formed the basis for a work with the same title by Gottfried van Swieten which became the libretto for Haydn's oratorio "The Seasons." "‘The Seasons’ may be regarded as inaugurating a new era in English poetry. Lady Winchilsea and John Dyer had pleaded by their work for a truthful and unaffected and at the same time a romantic treatment of nature in poetry; but the ideal of artificiality by which English poetry was dominated under the influence of Cowley and Pope was first effectively challenged by Thomson. It was he who transmitted the sentiment of nature not only to imitators like Savage Armstrong Somerville and Shenstone but also to Gray and Cowper and so indirectly to Wordsworth. Cowper in particular was interpenetrated with the spirit and feeling of ‘The Seasons’ and it is related in a pathetic passage how in the last ‘glimmerings of cheerfulness’ before his final collapse he walked in the moonlight in St. Neots churchyard and spoke earnestly of Thomson's ‘Seasons’ and the circumstances under which they were probably written. From 1750 to 1850 Thomson was in England the poet par excellence not of the eclectic and literary few but of the large and increasing cultivated middle class. ‘Thomson's “Seasons” looks best I maintain it a little torn and dog's-eared’ Lamb Detached Thoughts on Books and Reading. When Coleridge found a dog-eared copy of ‘The Seasons’ in an inn and remarked ‘That is fame' Thomson's popularity seemed quite as assured as Milton's." - DNB. . Professionally rebacked in quarter leather over original boards new endpapers; former owner's signature on title page one corner of title page torn not affecting any text otherwise unmarked tight and square.
