1780Best.-Nr. S14167Paris :: Cl. Ant. Jombert 1780. 1780. 8vo. 4 202 2 pp. Half-title engraved frontispiece portrait tipped-in title vignette 7 folding engraved plates by Madame Ponce; some waterstaining. Contemporary full mottled calf raised bands spine tooled spine compartments maroon leather label; spine ends worn front joint starting rubbed. Very good. 290 First edition. Marat "practiced in Paris well-known for his activities in the French Revolution; Benjamin Franklin was interested in his electrical experiments but his works especially on fire and heat were discredited." – Cole. / There is apparently one known copy with a portrait plate perhaps spurious or added to the work and yet most every copy does not mention a portrait. Cole notes two copies without a portrait and one at Oklahoma University he saw only in microprint where a portrait was present – Cole says "appears to have a portrait." Of several copies found for sale none had a correct portrait. I inquired about the Oklahoma copy and they verified that it does not in fact have a portrait see above. Net result: the book was not issued to the public with a portrait. Copies mentioning a portrait will thus be referencing a tipped-in plate from another source presumably an unknown source. / "In this book Marat attempts to give a mechanical explanation of the phenomena of heat by the use of his theoretical 'fluide igne.' Some 166 experiments are described in support of his views." – Cole. / NOTE: "Jean-Paul Marat was a leader of the French Revolution along with others like Danton and Robespierre. In 1793 he was assassinated while soaking in a bath—one of the most famous murders in French history. While there is no question about who killed him the reason he was in the bath has confounded historians for centuries. And this mystery may have just been solved." "Marat bled profusely when he was stabbed and his blood soaked the papers he was working on. These were kept by his sister and eventually found their way to the National Library of France. / French forensic scientist Philippe Charlier working with a team of specialists was recently able to extract DNA from these centuries-old papers. As well as finding DNA that confirmed Marat's ancestry French and Italian the team found a number of non-human DNA fragments. / These fragments ruled out many of the popular theories—no syphilis no scabies no leprosy or tuberculosis. But there was strong evidence of an advanced fungal infection of Malassezia restricta. This would explain his pain and sores and would probably have damaged his immune system as well leaving him open to other infections. / While the answer can't be known for sure modern technology seems to have validated the belief of Marat—ever the scientist—that the sewers of Paris were his undoing." – Keith van Sickle The Good Life.

1780Best.-Nr. 192652Paris: Cl. Ant. Jombert 1780. A revolutionary study of fire First edition of the first major work of experimental science by the French revolutionary notable for its focus on the practical applications of heat and fire. Prior to the French Revolution Marat had worked hard to establish a reputation as a conscientious and iconoclastic scientist. The Recherches physiques takes particular exception to Lavoisier's new oxygen theory of fire sparking an animosity between the two men that Marat was to pursue politically during the Revolution. Octavo 219 x 139 mm pp. iv 202 2. With 7 plates woodcut head- and tailpieces in the text. Recent cream quarter cloth spine with later printed label blue paper-covered boards edges uncut.

1779Best.-Nr. 12883Paris: Clousier 1779. 207x136mm. 8¼x5¼". Paris Clousier 1779. En 4º 207 x 136mm. 6 38 pp. Encuadernación de mediados del siglo veinte en piel. Primera edición del primer trabajo publicado de Marat sobre el fuego la electricidad y la luz presentado a la Academia de las Ciencias y a cuyos experimentos acudieron varios académicos entre ellos Benjamin Franklin. Jean-Paul Marat 1743-1793 fue un científico y médico francés que realizó gran parte de su carrera en Inglaterra; sobresalió como político durante la Revolución francesa: identificado con el ala izquierdista de la Revolución los jacobinos su apasionada defensa del Terror le llevó a ser asesinado por Charlotte Corday una joven girondina. Marat presentó esta Memoria para su ingreso en la Academia aunque no consiguió ser aceptado como miembro pues los académicos estaban horrorizados por su osadía al disentir de Isaac Newton. Sus experimentos interesaron sobremanera a Benjamin Franklin quien solía visitarle y Goethe siempre consideró el rechazo de la academia como una clara muestra de despotismo científico.
