ROBERTS, Brian
The Cambridge Expedition to Vatnajokull - 04
Title: The Cambridge Expedition to Vatnajokull, 1932. Author: ROBERTS, Brian Publisher: London: Royal Geographical Society, 1933. Notes & Condition: An interesting summary of previous expeditions to Vatnajokull includes those of Swedes Wadell and Ygberg in 1919, the crossing from north to south and back again by the Dane, J P Koch in 1912 and the first crossing made in 1875 by Englishman, W L Watts. Roberts suggests that despite earlier efforts, knowledge of the glacier remained limited: the western and north-eastern edges were practically unexplored at the time and only one detailed map existed and that featured only the glacier's southern edge. Objectives for the Cambridge Expedition included plans to ascertain the thickness of the ice of Batnajokull and to carrout an ecological survey of representative areas, both in the desert region to the north of the ice and the coastal belt on the south. In order to maximise their time on the ice, the expedition decided to reach the central district with sledges across the ice-cap from Heinabergsjökull, rather than rely on earlier methods of travel (with ponies). The expedition was organized on a scale larger than anything previous and included geologist and zoologist F W Anderson; surveyor J A Beckett; botanist P Falk; W L S Fleming, geologist; W V Lewis, seismologis and surveyor and B B Roberts, ornithologist and leader. Setting out from Hull on June 22, the steam trawler, Lord Balfour of Burleigh, landed at Hornafjörour in the south east of Iceland four days later. The first part of the journey involved a transfer (with ponies) from Höfn to Kálfafellsstaour and the top of Heinabergsjökull, at which point the expedition continued on skis and sleds. Soft surfaces for the first week delayed the party but eventually they were rewarded by the sight of Kverdfjöll. At Brúarjökull a geological survey of the area was carried out, followed by botanical collections at Vítisvegur. Appendices feature notes on place names; the work of the surveyors - that is, the construction of two maps; geological data; Fleming's geomorphology and glaciology; a botany section which looks at the flora in Kverkfjöll and the desert as far north as the oasis Havannalindir and also on the south coast; zoology - examining the difference between scarcity of life in the desert and the teeming life of the oases, as well as meteorological notes from J A Beckett. Excerpt from the text: "Although the Icelandic glaciers far exceed in size those of the European mainland, the history of their investigation is very limited, and the knowledge we possess at present is largely due to the Icelander Thorvaldur Thoroddsen, who travelled extensively through the country from 1881 to 1898. His published work contains the most complete description so far of the island and its glacial conditions, but, despite the fact that the study of Icelandic glaciers is chiefly connected with Vatnajokull, our knowledge of this area is very limited. This amazing report picks up where the other expeditions left off to cover an in depth exploration of these natural marvels. End excerpt. 25 pages. Plus black and white plates and a large fold-out color map, measuring 13 inches x 13 inches. These are original text pages and a map printed in 1933. Stamp to the margin of the map and one plate, otherwise in very good condition. Attractively bound booklet style in recent paper covers with label. Vatnajokull is the largest ice-cap in Europe. It lies in the south-east corner of Iceland and covers an area of approximately 3400 square miles.

Fra Paolo Sarpi : The Greatest Of The Venetians
New York: Sampson Low Marston & Company 1894. 2nd Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine. Frontispiece. Xxiv 196 Pp 3 Pp Ads. Green Cloth Gilt Black Endpapers 18940 Date On Title Page. Second Edition Stated. Slight Wear All Gilt Brilliant Cloth Evenly Colored As Issued. Previous Owner's Signature On Front Pastedown And Another On Verso Of Front Free Endpaper. Per Wikipedia Paolo Sarpi O.S.M. 1552 - 1623 Was An Italian Servite Friar And Catholic Priest Who Was A Notable Historian Scientist Canon Lawyer Polymath And Statesman Active On Behalf Of The Venetian Republic During The Period Of Its Successful Defiance Of The Papal Interdict 1605-1607 And Its War 1615-1617 With Austria Over The Uskok Pirates. His Writings Frankly Polemical And Highly Critical Of The Catholic Church And Its Scholastic Tradition "Inspired Both Hobbes And Edward Gibbon In Their Own Historical Debunkings Of Priestcraft." Sarpi's Major Work The History Of The Council Of Trent 1619 Was Published In London In 1619; Other Works: A History Of Ecclesiastical Benefices History Of The Interdict And His Supplement To The History Of The Uskoks Appeared Posthumously. Organized Around Single Topics They Are Early Examples Of The Genre Of The Historical Monograph. As A Defender Of The Liberties Of Republican Venice And Proponent Of The Separation Of Church And State Sarpi Attained Fame As A Hero Of Republicanism And Free Thought And Possible Crypto Protestant.4 His Last Words "Esto Perpetua" "May She I.E. The Republic Live Forever" Were Recalled By John Adams In 1820 In A Letter To Thomas Jefferson When Adams "Wished 'As Devoutly As Father Paul For The Preservation Of Our Vast American Empire And Our Free Institutions' As Sarpi Had Wished For The Preservation Of Venice And Its Institutions." Sarpi Was Also An Experimental Scientist A Proponent Of The Copernican System A Friend And Patron Of Galileo Galilei And A Keen Follower Of The Latest Research On Anatomy Astronomy And Ballistics At The University Of Padua. His Extensive Network Of Correspondents Included Francis Bacon And William Harvey. Sarpi Believed That Government Institutions Should Rescind Their Censorship Of The Avvisi-The Newsletters That Started To Be Common In His Time-And Instead Of Censorship Publish Their Own Versions Of The News To Counter Enemy Publications. In That Spirit Sarpi Himself Published Several Pamphlets In Defence Of Venice's Rights Over The Adriatic. As Such Sarpi Could Be Considered As An Early Advocate Of The Freedom Of The Press Though The Concept Did Not Yet Exist In His Lifetime. On 5 October 1607 Sarpi Was Attacked By Assassins And Left For Dead With Three Stiletto Thrusts But He Recovered. His Attackers Found Both Refuge And A Welcome Reception In The Papal Territories Described By A Contemporary As A "Triumphal March" And Papal Enthusiasm For The Assassins Cooled Only After Learning That Brother Sarpi Was Not Dead After All. Sarpi Wrote Notes On François Viète Which Established His Proficiency In Mathematics And A Metaphysical Treatise Now Lost Which Is Said To Have Anticipated The Ideas Of John Locke. His Anatomical Pursuits Probably Date From An Earlier Period. They Illustrate His Versatility And Thirst For Knowledge But Are Otherwise Not Significant. His Claim To Have Anticipated William Harvey's Discovery Rests On No Better Authority Than A Memorandum Probably Copied From Andreas Caesalpinus Or Harvey Himself With Whom As Well As With Francis Bacon And William Gilbert Sarpi Corresponded. The Only Physiological Discovery Which Can Be Safely Attributed To Him Is That Of The Contractility Of The Iris. Sarpi Wrote On Projectile Motion In The Period 1578-84 In The Tradition Of Niccolò Fontana Tartaglia; And Then Again In Reporting On Guidobaldo Del Monte's Ideas In 1592 Possibly By Then Having Met Galileo Galilei. Galileo Corresponded With Him. Sarpi Heard Of The Telescope In November 1608 Perhaps Before Galileo. Details Then Came To Sarpi From Giacomo Badoer In Paris In A Letter Describing The Configuration Of Lenses. <br/> <br/> Sampson Low, Marston & Company hardcover
