George Nassau [George Richard Savage Nassau (1756–1823) English country gentleman, known as a bibliophile.]:
George Nassau; bibliophile Autograph Letter Signed "Geo Nassau" to unnamed correspondent but possibly Bryan Higgins see Note below. declining to subscribe to a new "institution".
6 Jan 1794. Three pages 4to bifolium some staining and aging but complete and legible. Text: The experiments & conversations to which you so kindly invite me to subscribe are I think calculated for those only who have made some advancxement in the study of the Chemical department of Natural Philosophy and my gleanings in this field of science have been sp very profitless that I cannot but be sensible how little qualified I am to become a member of such an institutionas the one proposed. From a sense therefore of my own insufficiency I am induced to decline the invitation held out to me - in addition however to this consideration an evening engagement is hardly compatible with the sacrifices I am in the habit of making to my friends & which meet with considerable interruption in the early months of the year by the relish I have for Italian song and the grander harmony of the sacred drama. I have strictly adhered to your injunctions and answered yourletter with that freedom of sentiment which you urged me to adopt - In your estimation I am satisfied I could not in any other way so strongly evince the sense I entertain of your kind motive for addressing me - accept my warmest thanks .".Note: "In 1794 the Irish physician lecturer and experimentalist Bryan Higgins M.D. 1741-1818 founded the Society for Philosophical Experiments and Conversations in London. Higgins who also ran a school of practical chemistry in Soho and famously clashed with Priestley over the distribution of credit for a series of experiments related to air distinguished his society from others and anticipated features of later chemical societies by supplementing club-like social opportunities with lectures and experiments." 6 Jan 1794 unknown

(Bible. English. Illustrated:) McCallum, Gilbert (ed.); Francis Frith (photographer)
The Holy Bible. The Old and New Testaments: Translated out of the Original Tongues and with the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised by His Majesty's Special Command. Illustrated with Photographs by Francis Frith. The Queen's Bible especially produced in honor of Queen Victoria and the finest photograpically illustrated bible ever produced With 57 albumin prints.
Glasgow Edinburgh and London: William Mackenzie 1862. Deluxe Edition. Two volumes folio 450 x 330 mm published between 1862 and 1863. 16 1344pp. 57 unnumbered leaves of albumin prints 230 x 160mm mounted on card stock. Crimson morocco over wooden boards elaborately tooled in gilt and blind; edges mounted in brass double brass clasps with thistle motif; covers with a broad blind-stamped border around a recessed central panel with the crowned cipher of Queen Victoria in gilt; gilt tooled spine with 5 raised bands; a.e.g. marbled endleaves with gilt dentelles. Covers with some mild traces of use; single crease in each marbled endleaf partially detached in second volume; occasional light to moderate foxing mostly confined to the plate mounts; albumin prints in fine condition often with foxing extending about 5mm from the edges into the mount. Overall a very good set with a fine series of photographs notable for their technical achievment.<br /> <br /> Deluxe edition one of 170 copies complete with all 57 albumen prints. Produced for the 1862 International Exhibition and dedicated to Queen Victoria then recently in mourning for the death of Prince Albert this work appeared at a time when photography though still a laborious and expensive process was just beginning to become a popular activity. Victoria herself was an amateur photographer and "the royal couple had been enthusiastic supporters of photography in England from the beginning; in 1853 they became founding patrons of the Photographic Society Club" K. Fiedorek. Francis Frith 1822-1898 the devout Quaker whose photographic images grace the present work was one of the best-known photographers to work in the Near East and the most commercially successful photographer of the nineteenth century. Finding his elementary studies tedious Frith left school at the age of ten apprenticed with a grocer and eventually started his own business. He later went into printing sold the grocery business to a competitor at a substantial profit and went on to devote himself to photography. "The growing Victorian interest in the East and its exotic and historic attractions caught the attention of this astute businessman" Perez. Between 1856 and 1860 Frith made three photographic expeditions to Egypt Ethiopia Sinai and the Levant accompanied by the engineer Francis Herbert Wenham who provided technical assistance in mechanics and optics. While Perez notes that Frith's "approach was always a strictly commercial one and his concern was to make truthful and accurate views of the area" he readily concedes that "the technical quality of Frith's photographs is superior." Frith employed the new wet collodion process in which glass plate negatives were sensitized exposed and developed while still wet. While technically demanding the process yielded rich detail and broad tones. "Frith's were the first original wet-plate photographs of Jerusalem and the Holy Land to reach a wide English-speaking audience and his pictures of the small Palestinian towns were most likely the first published anywhere" Nir p.66.<br /> <br /> Perhaps the most novel aspect of this celebrated edition of the Bible and certainly a harbinger of things to come was the way in which the photographer "presented the radical possibility of seeing photographs of the biblical sites alongside related verses of scripture. he sought to defend and promote his faith by conscripting the veracity of science and materialism to his cause and considered photography to be the most effective medium for his campaign" Foster et al. This vision is manifest even in such details as the re-captioning of prints previously offered for sale so that the new descriptions would more clearly reference the King James text. It should be noted that while the printing was still done by hand this was one of the earliest books for which machinery was used for composing. Original publisher's price = 50 guineas. Another version of this work was published at London in 1860-1862 by Eyre & Spottiswoode; sometimes confused with the present work it was issued in 20 parts each containing a single photographic print by Frith.<br /> <br /> K.

"The present work is offered to the public as a timely exposition of the opening of a new era in history . ." from advertisement inside book. The February 1848 revolution ended the July Monarchy 1830-1848 replaced by the Second Republic 1848-1852 giving a lethal blow to the hopes of a "Social and Democratic Republic" "la République sociale et démocratique" or "La Sociale". In 1848 political gatherings and demonstrations were outlawed in France. Therefore activists held a series of fundraising banquets the Campagne des banquets to circumvent this restriction and provide a legal outlet for popular criticism of the regime. In February however the French government under Louis Philippe forbade such banquets partly leading to the revolution. This work was written the very year of the revolution. Illustrated throughout with a number of b/w facsimile etchings of important and prominent figures as well as soliders. Frontis piece. Spine absent and boards detached but present. In poor condition.
