[MAP OF THE WORLD]. NAGAKUBO SEKISUI
Kaisei Chikyu Bankoku Zenzu 改æ£åœ°çƒä¸‡å›½å…¨å›³ = Geographic complete map enhanced with all the countries of the world.
<p>Yamazaki Kinbe Edo et Asana Yahei Osaka 5th year of the Tenmei period 1785.</p><p>Large wood-engraved map of 165 x 91 cm 65 x 358 inches entirely hand-colored at the time. Red ink stamp in the bottom. Folded and preserved in a modern blue cloth protection case. Very good condition.</p><p><b>First edition of this superb and rare map of the World published in Japan in 1785 showing the progress of the Japanese geographical and cartographical knowledge at the end of the 18th century.</b></p><p><i>Nagakubo Sekisui</i> é•·ä¹…ä¿èµ¤æ°´ 1717-1801 is the most famous Japanese cartographer of the end of the 18th century.</p><p>This map presents a lot of information: at the top right a cartouche encloses a text in classical Chinese by <i>Katsuragawa Hoshu</i>1751-1809 famous doctor at the Shogun court knowing Dutch and passionate about sciences and European cartography.</p><p>At the top left another cartouche presents 70 lines of text in Japanese written by the author of the map with explanations as for the contribution of Dutch science to the theory of the geographic illustration of the spherical earth. At the bottom left in a third cartouche appear the name of the author: <i>Nagakubo Sekisui</i> and the names of the editors of the map: <i>Yamazaki Kinbe</i> Edo and <i>Asana Yahei</i> Osaka.</p><p>At first sight the map seems to be a simplified copy of the very famous map of the world that Matteo Ricci 1552-1610 had presented in 1602 to the Ming emperor Shenzong.</p><p>After the triumph of Protestantism in the middle of the 16th century the Catholic Church tries to react and send missionaries first Jesuits in the Far East in order to convert the inhabitants of these empires to Christianity. Ricci leaves Rome in 1577 and via Lisbon arrives in China in 1583. He has the idea that conversion needs to be carried out through a demonstration of the superiority of the European sciences. The Chinese consider themselves in the middle of the earth China = middle empire which has a square shape. Ricci quickly learns Chinese and with the help of the first converts publishes two editions of maps of the world: in 1584 and in 1600. No copy of these maps has survived. He bases his judgment on European sources: <i>Clavius Ortelius Ramusio Piccolomini Ptolemy</i> etc. He disrupts the conventions of the time. In order to avoid deception he illustrates China and Japan in the middle of these maps and rejects the American continent to the Far East. However even this trick displeases the Chinese mandarins who still believe that their country represents 75% of the earth. In 1601 Ricci arrives in Beijing and draws a third augmented edition which he presents to the emperor. Of this edition 7 copies printed in Beijing in 1602 have survived.</p><p>The Jesuits had also sent some copies of this map to Japan where the Portuguese religious were also exercising their missionary activity. Until their first contacts with the Europeans the Japanese were dependent on the knowledge imported from China.</p><p><b>Matteo Ricci's map has had a considerable influence in Japan. Our copy proves that Nagakubo Sekisui was largely inspired by it.</b></p><p>Comment on this map of the world by Nagakubo Sekisui:</p><p>Nagakubo draws his map like Ricci in an oval shape.</p><p>He uses different colors for the continents and copies the details of Europe Africa Central Asia and the two Americas. However compared to Ricci he considerably improves the illustration of Japan and South-East Asia. In accordance with the Chinese customs Ricci's map was covered with long explanatory comments. Nagakubo deletes most of them and keeps only a few. He divides the equator into 72 units each representing 5° of longitude but only draws 12 arches each corresponding to 30°. The illustration of longitudes corresponding to a spherical Earth was still new in Japan.</p><p>This map comprises a very interesting detail: it illustrates two imaginary islands: <i>Kinshima</i> 金島 the golden island in the east in the Pacific at the same latitude as Kyoto and <i>Ginshama</i> 銀島 the silver island pretty far from Ezo now Hokkaido. These imaginary islands have played an important role because the Spanish first then the Dutch have sailed in vain during all 17th century in the Pacific searching for them. These islands aren't illustrated on Ricci's map but they are present on old maps representing Japan.</p><p><u>Texts printed on the map</u>:</p><p>The map generally keeps the Chinese characters invented by Ricci in 1602 but Nagabuko often transforms them into Japanese characters. As the pronunciation of Chinese characters is different in China and Japan a lot of names are difficult to interpret today and require imagination.</p><p><u>Text n°1</u> placed just south of the equator at the longitude of California 95 characters in Chinese: <i>"This median line divides the Earth into two parts of equal dimensions. All that is above this line is called the Boreal Region and on the contrary all that is below this line is called Austral Region. The adjoining regions of this zone have seasons that last a month and a half. So around the equator each year there are eight seasons: two springs two summers two autumns and two winters. The four seasons north and south of this line are always the opposite. When in north this is spring in south this is autumn. The reason of this phenomenon can be explained by the proximity or distance from the solar light."</i></p><p><u>Text n°2</u> placed on different latitudes: 1. 65° and -65° cold zone; 2. 40° and -40° cold zone; 3. On the equator torrid zone.</p><p><u>Text n°3</u> tropic of Capricorn and tropic of Cancer: yellow road é“黄 equator: red road é“赤.</p><p><u>Text n°4</u> Brazil on the map: <i>"The inhabitants of this country don't build houses. They dig the earth and live in caverns. They like to eat human flesh. However they eat only men and not women. Their clothes are made from birds' feathers." </i></p><p><u>Text n°5</u> inscriptions on the French territory: <i>Nahara</i> Navarre <i>Marusenia</i> Marseille <i>Goariya</i> Gaul. France is phonetically designated by the three characters 拂郎察 <i>Fu Lang Cha</i>.</p><p><b>Very beautiful map of the World very rare published in 1785 entirely hand-colored at the time in the editor's workshop very well preserved.</b></p><p>References: Nanba M. Muroga N. and Unno K. <i>Old maps in Japan</i> 1976 p.15; Cortazzi H. <i>Isles of Gold: Antique Maps of Japan</i> 1984 p. 35.</p><p><br /></p><p><u>Français</u><br /></p><p>Yamazaki Kinbe Edo et Asana Yahei Osaka 5e année de la période Tenmei 1785.</p><p>Grande carte de 165 x 91 cm gravée sur bois entièrement coloriée à la main à l'époque. Tampon à l'encre rouge dans le bas. Repliée et préservée dans un étui de protection de toile bleu moderne. Très bon état de conservation.</p><p><b>Première édition de cette superbe et rare carte du Monde publiée au Japon en 1785 qui montre l'état d'avancement des connaissances géographiques et cartographiques japonaises à la fin du XVIIIe siècle.</b></p><p><i>Nagakubo Sekisui</i> é•·ä¹…ä¿èµ¤æ°´ 1717-1801 est le plus célèbre cartographe japonais de la fin du XVIIIe siècle.</p><p>La présente carte contient une multitude d'informations : en haut à droite un cartouche comporte un texte en chinois classique de <i>Katsuragawa Hoshu</i> 1751-1809 médecin célèbre à la cour de Shogun connaissant le hollandais et passionné par les sciences et la cartographie européennes.</p><p>En haut à gauche un autre cartouche présente 70 lignes de texte en japonais écrites par l'auteur de la carte avec des explications quant à la contribution de la science hollandaise à la théorie de l'illustration géographique de la terre sphérique. En bas à gauche dans un troisième cartouche apparaissent le nom de l'auteur : <i>Nagakubo Sekisui</i> et les noms des éditeurs de la carte : <i>Yamazaki Kinbe</i> Edo et <i>Asana Yahei</i> Osaka.</p><p>A première vue la carte apparait comme une copie simplifiée de la très célèbre carte du monde que Matteo Ricci 1552-1610 avait présentée en 1602 à l'empereur Ming Shenzong. </p><p>A la suite du triomphe du protestantisme au milieu du XVIe siècle l'église catholique tente de réagir et envoie des missionnaires d'abord jésuites en Extrême-Orient afin de convertir les habitants de ces empires au christianisme. Ricci quitte Rome en 1577 et en passant par Lisbonne arrive en Chine en 1583. L'idée lui vient que la conversion doit s'effectuer par une démonstration de la supériorité des sciences européennes. </p><p>Les Chinois se considèrent alors au milieu de la terre Chine = empire du milieu de forme carrée. Ricci apprend rapidement le chinois et à l'aide des premiers convertis publie deux éditions de cartes du monde : en 1584 et en 1600. Aucun exemplaire de ces cartes n'a survécu. Il se base sur des sources européennes : <i>Clavius Ortelius Ramusio Piccolomini Ptolémée</i> etc. Il bouleverse les conventions de l'époque. Afin d'éviter la déception il illustre la Chine et le Japon au milieu de ses cartes et rejette le continent américain à l'extrême est. Cependant même cette astuce mécontente les mandarins chinois qui croient encore que leur pays représente 75 % de la terre. En 1601 Ricci arrive à Pékin et dessine une troisième édition améliorée qu'il présente à l'empereur. De cette édition 7 copies imprimées à Pékin en 1602 ont survécu.</p><p>Les jésuites avaient aussi envoyé quelques copies de cette carte au Japon où les religieux portugais effectuaient leur activité de missionnaires. Jusqu'aux premiers contacts avec les européens les japonais étaient tributaires des connaissances importées de Chine. </p><p><b>La carte de Matteo Ricci a eu une influence considérable au Japon. Notre exemplaire prouve que Nagakubo Sekisui s'en est largement inspiré.</b></p><p>Commentaire sur la présente carte du monde de Nagakubo Sekisui :</p><p>Nagakubo dessine sa carte comme Ricci sous une forme ovale. </p><p>Il utilise des couleurs différentes pour les continents et copie les détails de l'Europe de l'Afrique de l'Asie Centrale et des deux Amérique. Cependant par rapport à Ricci il améliore considérablement l'illustration du Japon et de l'Asie du Sud-est. Selon les habitudes chinoises la carte de Ricci était couverte de longs commentaires explicatifs. Nagakubo en supprime la plupart et n'en conserve que quelques-uns. Il divise l'équateur en 72 unités chacune représentant 5° de longitude mais ne dessine que 12 arcs chacun correspondant à 30°. L'illustration des longitudes correspondant à une Terre sphérique était encore une nouveauté au Japon.</p><p>La présente carte comporte un détail très intéressant : elle illustre deux iles imaginaires : <i>Kinshima</i> 金島 l'île d'or à l'est dans le Pacifique à la même latitude que Kyoto et <i>Ginshama</i> 銀島 l'île d'argent assez loin d'Ezo aujourd'hui Hokkaido. Ces îles imaginaires ont joué un rôle important car les Espagnols d'abord et les Hollandais ensuite ont vainement navigué pendant tout le XVIIe siècle dans le Pacifique à leur recherche. Ces îles ne sont pas illustrées sur la carte de Ricci mais elles sont présentes sur d'anciennes cartes représentant le Japon.</p><p><u>Textes imprimés sur la carte</u> :</p><p>La carte garde en général les caractères chinois inventés par Ricci en 1602 mais Nagakubo les transforme souvent en caractères japonais. Comme la prononciation des caractères chinois s'effectue de façon différente en Chine et au Japon beaucoup de noms sont difficiles à interpréter aujourd'hui et nécessitent de l'imagination. </p><p><u>Texte n°1</u> situé juste au sud de l'équateur à la longitude de la Californie 95 caractères en chinois : " <i>Cette ligne médiane divise la Terre en deux parties de dimensions identiques. Tout ce qui se trouve au-dessus de cette ligne s'appelle Région Boréale et à l'inverse tout ce qui se trouve au-dessous de cette ligne s'appelle Région Australe. Les régions limitrophes de cette zone ont des saisons qui durent un mois et demi. Donc autour de l'équateur chaque année il y a huit saisons : deux printemps deux étés deux automnes et deux hivers. Les quatre saisons au nord et au sud de cette ligne sont toujours le contraire. Lorsqu'au nord c'est le printemps au sud c'est l'automne. La raison de ce phénomène s'explique par la proximité ou l'éloignement de la lumière solaire. "</i></p><p><u>Texte n°2</u> situé à des latitudes différentes : 1. 65° et -65° zone froide ; 2. 40° et -40° zone froide ; 3. Sur l'équateur zone torride.</p><p><u>Texte n°3</u> tropique du Capricorne et tropique du Cancer : route jaune é“黄 équateur : route rougeé“赤.</p><p><u>Texte n°4</u> le Brésil sur la carte : " <i>Les habitants de ce pays ne construisent pas des maisons. Ils creusent la terre et habitent dans des cavernes. Ils aiment manger de la chaire humaine. Cependant ils ne mangent que les hommes et pas les femmes. Leurs vêtements sont fabriqués à partir de plumes d'oiseaux. </i>"</p><p><u>Texte n°5</u> les inscriptions sur le territoire de la France : <i>Nahara</i> Navarre <i>Marusenia</i>Marseille <i>Goariya</i> la Gaule. La France est désignée phonétiquement par les trois caractères拂郎察 <i>Fu Lang Cha</i>.</p><p><b>Très belle carte du Monde d'une grande rareté publiée en 1785 entièrement coloriée à la main à l'époque dans l'atelier de l'éditeur dans un très bon état de conservation.</b></p><p>Références : Nanba M.

[Marcet, Jane] The author of Conversations on Chemistry, Political Economy, &c
John Hopkins' Notions on Political Economy
London: Longman Rees Orme Brown Greene & Longman 1833. First edition. Near Fine. Contemporary violet cloth binding with label to spine. All edges speckled red. Spine a bit sunned. Bookplate of Thomas Henry Farrer to front pastedown. Internally a clean tight complete copy of this rare work. The only copy presently on the market this scarce book documents Marcet's efforts to expand knowledge access to the working classes in order to make political self-advocacy possible. A peer of such feminist thinkers as Maria Edgeworth Marcet is considered one of the most important figures in the history of women's education. Her Conversations books which include texts on politics economics and science were ranked among the best-known educational texts of the nineteenth century. In addition to making these rigorous fields accessible to women who might otherwise be denied such training they also welcomed in young boys whose access to quality education might be hindered by class. Among her most famous readers was Michael Faraday who encountered her books while serving as a bookbinder's apprentice and was inspired to delve more deeply into the sciences Science History Institute. The present work seeks to popularize economic theory and put forward an argument for decreasing wage gaps among rich and poor; and in line with her overall project Marcet seeks to make her argument accessible to readers of all education levels. Wrapped in allegory in order to welcome in labor-class readers who may not have complex economic vocabularies Marcet's tale posits the need for new economic policy into a series of nine allegorical essays told "through the eyes of honest John Hopkins a laborer on low wages" Liberty. Scholars have increasingly viewed John Hopkins as an important and previously undervalued piece of Marcet's oeuvre; and her desire to bring the working class into dialogue about their own economic state signals an important cultural change. "Marcet was engaged in the work of the knowledge broker -- creating and maintaining networks between and among scientists and the larger public. Knowledge sharing was based upon the personal and social connections she facilitated by bringing together bankers scientists and professional economists such as Malthus Ricardo Mill and others. It was extended to the popular culture through the many editions of her Conversations addressed to the middle classes and enlarged to include the working classes with her John Hopkins's Notions on Political Economy" L. Forget. Lesser known but nonetheless one of Marcet's culturally important contributions this volume contains important lessons on how to expand a class's knowledge base and provide the tools for political and economic self-advocacy.

[Maritime History] [The West Indies] [Lord Hugh Seymour]:
Maritime History; The West Indies; Lord Hugh Seymour Copy of manuscript document 'To The Commissioners for Victualling His Majestys Navy' from 'R. M.'
'His Majestys Ship Carnatio Port Royal Harbour Jamaica November 18. 1801'. 4to. 4 pages. In poor condition: on paper creased discoloured and frayed with several closed tears but with the text entirely legible. Apparently a copy and docketed 'No. 1'. Seymour 1759-1801 the commander in chief at Jamaica died of yellow fever on 11 September. 'R. M.' begins this unusually forthright document by informing the Commissioners that Seymour's death has caused their 'Letter relative to the public service' to pass under his inspection. He has seen Mr Donaldson and understands that 'the Warranty of Provisions is as you state for four months and that he understands and is willing to receive all such Provisions as do not support the aforesaid Warranty except in the article of Bread'. He agrees 'that no evil can arise to Government by any condemnation by Survey save and except in the Article of Bread'. He gives three lengthy reasons why he is persuaded that 'in appointing a Person under those circumstances in the disposal of Provisions Condemned and Cast by Survey would be the greatest of all possible absurdities and which in fact you are not qualified to do'. He speaks of the 'Mockery of Saving' in 'creating a new place not wanted and appointing a Salary thereto' and considers that Seymour 'had not taken a comprehensive view of the Subject or he must have seen the errors he proposed to commit and the Evils which the adoption of his plan must inevitably have rendered possible'. He ends by declaring 'as Guardian of the public Interests of my Country on this Station' that he does not have the 'penetration to discern the why or wherefore an additional burthen should be created by the appointment of a novel establishment as a Superior distribution or Overseer but on the contrary that such an institution would be injurious to the State'.

[Maryland – Guano Industry] The Patapsco Guano Co
Farmers’ Memorandum Presented By The Patapsco Guano Co. Baltimore MD
Baltimore Maryland: Jno. S. Bridges & Co. Printers 1886. Trifold booklet measuring 3 ½ x 6 ¼ inches folded with notebook and short almanac inside; two pages with notes. A booklet made for the Patapsco Guano Company of Baltimore Maryland printed in 1886. The exterior of the booklet features three attractive lithographs by A. Hoen & Co. with the lithograph on the back of the booklet showing Patapsco’s manufacturing plant at Fell’s Point. Inside is a miniature almanac with notebook pages two of which have been written on. Guano was invaluable as a source of nitrogen for fertilizer and gunpowder. Guano export was a pillar of economic development supporting a stable economy in Peru in the mid-19th century and driving American annexation of numerous islands in the Pacific and Caribbean under the Guano Islands Act of 1856. For its part the Patapsco Company was involved in a Supreme Court case in 1898 in which it contested the inspection charge of twenty-five cents per ton for fertilizers. Not too long after in the early 20th century a method for extracting nitrogen from air was discovered and guano’s importance declined. Jno. S. Bridges & Co., Printers unknown

Mann had toured Europe with his new wife Mary Peabody and friend Samuel Gridley Howe and studied schools in eight countries with special interest in the Prussian school system. His 1844 annual report comparing American and European school systems was received with great offense by Boston schoolteachers. "A group of thirty-one schoolmasters. . . published a sharply worded critique of his seventh Annual Report" targeting "Mann's recommendations for teacher training as well as his opposition to corporal punishment." However this group "soon faced Mann's wrath in the form of written rejoinders" and were ultimately vanquished when "Mann's allies were elected to the Boston School Committee." <br /> <br /> Despite the controversy Mann's efforts to "merge the best that he found in European educational systems with the principles of the growing American common school movement" saw remarkable success. Under his direction the Board of Education spent over $2 million on improved school buildings increased teacher salaries by over 50% opened fifty new high schools commissioned uniform school textbooks from Boston publishers and alotted time for student exercise-shaping the public school system as we know it ANB. All the titles in this collection are uncommon in the book trade. unknown

[MEHMET] EMIN [HALID] ONAT, (1908-1961).
[MODERN TURKISH ARCHITECTURE] [Autograph letter signed Emin Onat].
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original autograph handwritten letter by Mehmet Emin Onat. (30x21 cm). In Ottoman script. 2 p. Full. Letterhead of 'Teknik Üniversite Istanbul; Ev: Kadiköy'. It starts as 'Sevgili Lemancigim'. Emin Onat was a Turkish architect and former rector of Istanbul Technical University. Onat was born in Istanbul in 1908. He entered Istanbul Technical University in 1926. Then, he was sent to Zurich Technical University. Onat was one of the architects of Anitkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. His architectural style was formed at ETH. Emin Onat learned to experiment, interpret and search for modernism from his teacher Otto R. Salvisberg, a well-known, experienced practicing architect. Despite getting under the Anitkabir's shadow, he has a unique architectural style. Onat's architectural talent blossomed at Zurich Technical University, where one of his fellow students was Otto Rudolf Salvisberg, who later went to become one of the best architects of his time. Onat completed his studies in Zurich and returned to Turkey in 1934. Within a year, he had become an assistant professor in the Department of Architecture at the School of Engineering. He held the post for a couple of years that were marked by strenuous relations with the other members of the faculty, owing to the novel methods of teaching Onat introduced. In 1944 Onat became the first dean of the newly established Faculty of Architecture at the Istanbul Technical University. Onat rose further into the echelons of the architectural world in 1946, when he was given an honorary membership of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). In 1951 he became the Rector of the Istanbul Technical University, a post he held for two years. The Hannover Technical University awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1956. In 1957 he returned to the university. His return lasted only three years as on 21 October 1960 he and 147 faculty members were ousted from the university. Onat designed several impressive buildings during his career. These include the Istanbul Theatre and Conservatory, Istanbul Palace of Justice (1949), Kavaklidere Cenap, Presidential Secretariat in Cankaya and the General Directorate of Security. Onat had a predilection for local architectural elements. He fused traditional designs into his own designs, striving to attain organic unity. Onat's other designs are the Istanbul Lounges, Uludag Sanatorium, Bursa Governor's Mansion and IBM Headquarters in Istanbul. (Source: Wikipedia). Rare.

Restaurierte Wurmspur auf einigen Seiten des 3.Bandes. Wahrscheinlich ein zeitgenoessischer Raubdruck dieser bedeutenden Publikation ueber die Melancholie. Enthält unter anderem soziologisch - psychologische Kapitel wie: "Einfluss der Regierungsform auf den Trieb zur Einsamkeit" / Das groesste unter allen Glücksgütern ist Freyheit" / Johann Georg Zimmermann seit 1786 Ritter von Zimmermann 8. Dezember 1728 in Brugg; 7. Oktober 1795 in Hannover war ein Schweizer Arzt Gelehrter Philosoph und Schriftsteller der seit 1768 in Hannover wirkte. Zimmermann begegnete mehrmals Goethe. Sein Hauptwerk Über die Einsamkeit in dem das damals aktuelle Thema der Melancholie eine große Rolle spielt erschien 1784/85 und machte Zimmermann im damaligen gebildeten Europa weithin bekannt. Die russische Zarin Katharina II. erhob ihn 1786 in den Ritterstand. Sie lud ihn auch an ihren Hof in Sankt Petersburg ein eine Einladung der er aber nicht nachkam. In seinen letzten Lebensjahren entwickelte sich Zimmermann zum Gegner der Aufklärung. Wikipedia Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann / Johann Georg Zimmermann 8 December 1728 in Brugg Aargau 7 October 1795 in Hanover was a Swiss philosophical writer naturalist and physician. He studied at Göttingen where he took the degree of a doctor of medicine and established his reputation by the dissertation De irritabilitate 1751. After traveling in the Netherlands and France he practised as a physician in Brugg and wrote Über die Einsamkeit "Of solitude" 1756 178485 and Vom Nationalstolz "Of national pride" 1758. These books made a great impression in Germany and were translated into almost every European language. In Zimmermann's character there was a strange combination of sentimentalism melancholy and enthusiasm; and it was by the free and eccentric expression of these qualities that he excited the interest of his contemporaries. Another book by him written at Brugg Von der Erfahrung in der Arzneiwissenschaft "Of experience in pharmacology" 1764 also attracted much attention. In 1768 he settled at Hanover as private physician of George III with the title of a Hofrat. Catherine II invited him to the court of St Petersburg but this invitation he declined. He attended Frederick the Great during that monarch's last illness and afterwards issued various books about him of which the chief were Über Friederich den Grossen und meine Unterredung mit ihm kurz vor seinem Tode "On Frederick the Great and my conversation with him shortly before his death" 1788 and Fragmente über Friedrich den Grossen "Fragments on Frederick the Great" 1790. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition "these writings display extraordinary personal vanity and convey a wholly false impression of Frederick's character." Wikipedia hardcover
