1708réf. BB0353London: Printed for Jacob Tonson within Grays-Inn Gate next Grays-Inn 1708. Full Calf. Near Fine. First edition of this translation by John Hughes superseding that of Dryden of Nouveaux dialogues des morts. 8vo; 2 l 2 209 1pp with a finely engraved frontispiece. Bound in contemporary or slightly later 18th-century Cambridge-style paneled calf the spine richly gilt in six compartments divided by raised bands with a red leather lettering piece in the second. The joints very skillfully mended a Near Fine copy pages bright and fresh. ESTC Citation No. T139460. The Dialogues modeled on the dialogues of Lucian unite in conversation figures from antiquity such as Socrates and Aristotle with more recent personages including Erasmus and Montaigne to discuss the literary and philosophical developments of Fontenelle's day. First published anonymously in 1683 Dialogues des morts and Nouveaux dialogues des morts were Fontenelle's first works and ignited his reputation which was consolidated three years later with Entretiens sur la pluralité des mondes through which he popularized Copernicus's heliocentric model of the Universe. To this edition John Hughes contributes both an appreciation and assessment of Fontenelle as well as two dialogues of his own. N. B.

1717réf. AQ19580London: Printed for W. Innys 1717. 16 xxxv 1 123 122-441 552 455- 464pp 4. With two terminal advertisement leaves. Contemporary gilt-tooled blind-panelled polished calf contrasting red morocco lettering-piece small shelf-label to head of spine. A trifle rubbed slightly chipped at head else a fine copy. The Macclesfield copy with the armorial 'North Library' bookplate shelf-mark 45.C.29 and typical armorial blind- stamps to title page and first two leaves of text pencilled shelf-marks to front endpapers. A choice copy of John Chamberlayne's significant translation of short biographies or 'Elogy as Mons. Fontenelle calls it' of eminent European scientists and mathematicians members of the French Academy of Sciences with excellent provenance: from the library of the dedicatee Thomas Parker 1st Earl of Macclesfield 1666-1732. Whilst the biographies within are translations of the work of Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle 1657-1757 celebrated French author and secretary for forty-two years of the Academy of Sciences in the second half of the work English writer John Chamberlayne c.1668-1772 has added brief English abstracts of 'some of the Choicest Pieces Memoirs Dissertations &c' taken from the Academy's Transactions including work on flora fauna entomology 'Upon Bees' geological and meteorological phenomena. Chamberlayne's gushing dedication of this work to Lord Parker - then Lord Chief Justice - references the latter's patronage of the sciences was apparently presented 'without.consent or knowledge' and indeed is referenced in his later works also dedicated with similar gusto to the Earl of Macclesfield. This taken with the presence in the Macclesfield library of several copies of works presented to Chamberlayne including Miscellanea Berolinensia ad incrementum scientiarum Berlin 1710 inscribed by Dr. Daniel Ernst Jablonski likely acquired by Parker after the 1724 sale of the library of Chamberlayne pere et fils further suggests a close connection between the two. A printed postscript to the dedication of this work also directed by Chamberlayne at 'My Lord' Parker discusses the disagreement over 'the Differential Calculation as the Invention thereof which I think is every where ascribed to the late Mons. Liebnitz' and 'no where attributed as it ought to our own Countryman Sir Isaac Newton the First Mathematician in the World' and shares with his readership that 'Dr. Keill.has done our British Philosopher justice; and fully proved that which Mr. L did in some manner acknowledge to me when I attempted to reconcile these two Great Men that Sir I.N. might be the first inventor'. Although not a presentation copy per se given the connection between the translator and early owner this is surely one of the most interesting copies available of this significant work documenting the work of the French academicians. .
